To me, this pineapple represents the importance of being aware of your actions and how they are affecting others. It’s so easy to go to the grocery store in the United States and pick up a pineapple or banana from Dole or Chiquita. 
Little did I used to know how much this mass production and exportation to the states affects the land of places like Costa Rica. Soil contaminated and filled with pesticides, airplanes spraying chemicals that we end up breathing, completely lacking proper nutrients that non gmo bananas and pineapples would normally have. Chemicals entering our bodies and miles and miles of soil being destroyed.

This past year I have grown more and more to value food systems and the importance of growing our own food. Food is medicine. Fruits like pineapples are alive and here to heal us. To create change on this earth, we must live in harmony and plant seeds one day at a time. We must stand up against injustices and regenerate this earth with love to help madre tierra heal. 🌈🌿🌻🏄🏽‍♀️🏝🇨🇷
