Lately I’ve been thinking about sugar, particularly of the added variety. Donuts, cookies, sugary drink- so common, but just nutritionally void. When I was in middle school, every day for lunch I would eatc a lemon Snapple and a chipwich ice cream sandwich. Studies reveal again and again that sugar causes obesity, diabetes, etc—but we continue to eat something stuff that gives us nothing physically. The worst is when junk foods take the place of healthy choices, like the lunch I ate every day in school.
Last month my friend Susan and I
stayed at Arbor Bed & Breakfast in High Falls. I know “charming” is an
overused description, but it fits. I’m definitely a breakfast person and have been
my whole life, so I was excited to see our host served cereal, and it was a
sugar-free variety.
High Falls is a rural artsy village
and the Arbor is a short walk from the village center. The B&B’s proprietor,
Nancy, was familiar with guests, like us, who stay with her as part of
volunteer service at the nearby Woodstock Farm Sanctuary. Nancy’s home is large
and offers multiple spaces, each named a different color, for guests to choose
from. Outside are a porch and garden, and indoors near the kitchen is a reading
room filled with art books and info on local cultural interests and
attractions. Nancy can accommodate small weddings and dinner parties.
For the breakfast Nancy prepared
for us, she accommodated my friend Susan’s vegan diet. She can prepare for
guests a bag lunch, especially welcome for farm sanctuary volunteers.
