The Franciscan Food Guide

Heath
I eat to stay healthy and have enough energy to fulfill my life.
So, I choose healthy food i.e. fresh and as natural as possible.
Ecology
I respect the environment and care for the health of the Earth which produces my food.
I choose locally sourced food, with simple packaging and whose production methods respect Eco-systems and livestock (no GMOs, chemical fertilizers, pesticides antibiotics or growth hormones)
Justice
I respect my brothers and sisters, here and throughout the whole world who work in the agri-food system and I am concerned for their living conditions, their welfare and their health.
So, I preferably select certified Fairtrade products and I avoid food produced by multinational firms who behave unfairly towards their employees, their subcontractors and the countries where they are established.
Spirituality
When I eat, I commune with God, the creator who is present in all that exists (Earth, Sun, human beings and all other living and inanimate beings).
So, I give thanks to God for all the gifts He has made available to me. I ask forgiveness for the "sins of the world" and I commit to making the necessary life choices to help heal the world of its sins.
The two pictures opposite form a 2-sided small square promotional leaflet, created by SIAF, Service intercommunautaire d'animation franciscaine which aims to make Franciscan spirituality known and to refocus its vision in our world today.

God our Creator is the "Most High, all-powerful, good Lord" and all creation reflects His majesty and goodness.
