Great post! Thanks so much for sharing more about your experience alkalizing with your kids. I only discovered alkalizing after my kids were grown, so I especially appreciate now how important this is -- and your feedback is simply fabulous: a good example and powerful inspiration for all of us.
You wrote: When one is nutritionally satisfied, junk food is no longer tempting.
How true! :-D
With appreciation and respect,

P.S.
FYI, I also look forward to reviewing more of your website I just discovered it yesterday!
Maya, you are so kind! Thank you for sharing this wonderful text from the Metta Sutta. I genuinely appreciate this beautiful reflection, and I will add it now to my own site....
With gratitude,
Metta
P.S.
By way of background, I was actually named after my maternal grandmother, and it was only years later I discovered that "metta" means "loving kindness"....
Thank you, Allison, for your positive feedback. I'm glad if you found value and inspiration in this quotation.
Also, do you have any idea where you might have read this quote on the site? There are a lot of resources there, and I'd love to find and review the original quotation again since the only one I could locate was similar -- not exactly the same (see below).
Might it have been in a chat transcript, perhaps?

#509: Action and Non-attachment
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do the right thing
because it is right thing --
not because there is any assurance
you can control the outcome.
This is non-attachment
to the fruits of your action.
Your proper concern is with action,
never with its fruits.
Let not your motive be the fruits of action;
nor be attached to inaction.
Bhagavad Gita 2:47
