The Salad Of Modern Times

While we completely agree that eating salad is eating healthy, the many choices and food combinations today seem to have neglected the real essence of salads.

There is evidence that as early as Neanderthal times we were decorating our caves with ornaments, and painting on walls to share stories and entertain loved ones.

We may be more sophisticated with the resources at our disposal, but there is one thing we're lacking more than ever before. Time.
