“After losing my dad to complications from diabetes and my mom to cancer, and then turning 50 myself, I had to take a really hard look at what I want my future to look like. Although we can't control everything that happens to our bodies, we have the opportunity to control a lot more than we think - and food is a great place to start." - Trisha Yearwood
