Celebrate Earth Day with Eden Juices

Did you know that one of the easiest ways to get your recommended daily allowances of fruits and vegetables is by consuming juices? Well, if you didn’t know that, you now do! Luckily for me, my family are big juice drinkers and they will reach for a bottle of juice before a bottle of soda pop!
Let me introduce you to Eden. They’re a new environmentally friendly company that makes fresh, cold-pressed juices from imperfectly shaped fruits and vegetables. Why imperfect fruits and vegetables? Because despite how they look, they provide the same exact health benefits as perfectly shaped fruit and they taste just as delicious!
Did you know that April is Earth Month and that Earth day is April 22nd? If not, you do now! What a great time to partner with Eden Juices!
Eden’s core belief is that diversity and imperfections are not flaws to be corrected but traits to be celebrated. And they use their line of juices to fight aspects of our culture that threaten diversity, conservation, and overall health:
Superficial Mindset
Photoshop gives us flawless skin, perfect tans, and the ideal physique, but it also erases everything that makes us unique. Now more and more people think these digitally altered images are the norm and are determined to attain these unrealistic standards no matter what the cost.
For me personally, I am all about natural beauty and not into the “fakeness” that many people put themselves through.
Food Waste
In the U.S., we throw away close to 40% of the food we grow. In many cases, it’s not because the food has gone bad, but because the produce doesn’t meet our cosmetic standards. We waste food because it doesn’t look good and ignore the most important part—the health benefits.
As a country and as individuals…we must cut down & eliminate the amount of food that we waste!
Access to Clean, Healthy Food
While we throw away our food, over 15 million American kids go hungry every day and don’t have access to nutritious food. The worst part is that nutritious food is available; it’s just ending up in landfills instead of in the hands of those who need it.
Overfed and Undernourished
More than 2 in 3 adults are considered overweight or obese and more than one-third of children and adolescents are overweight or obese. Fewer than 35% of Americans are eating the recommended daily servings of fruits and vegetables. Those in the U.S. who aren’t going hungry are overfed and undernourished.
While these problems can’t be solved overnight, Eden hopes to get one step closer with their line of fresh, cold-pressed juices. They’ll help limit the amount of food wasted in the U.S. by using produce that consumers and retailers usually throw away for cosmetic reasons. They’ll also make nutrient-rich food more accessible to those who struggle to get nutritious foods and those who want a simple way to improve their diets.
I hope you will join me today in funding Eden’s Kickstarter campaign by going to drinkeden. We all need to do our part to stop the wastefulness in our households and our country. We all need to do our part by eating & drinking healthier foods. Finally, there is no reason why people in the United States are going to bed hungry…we must change this and change it today!
Eden is offering Kickstarter funding perks ranging from branded Eden T-shirts to multi-day juice cleanses to monthly and even yearly juice subscriptions! Everyone loves perks, right?!
