"Crunchy" has many perceived definitions. The image of a tree-hugging hippie might come to mind. I love trees (and hippies for that matter), but the intended definition, in this case, is more an earth and life honoring approach to living. It is all-encompassing, intentional, and is based on the foundational belief that the human body was created to thrive and grow with little intervention, but with many mindful choices (like what we put in and on our bodies). The definition is left broad, because many topics are worth exploring. Among these topics would be: local food systems, clean food choices, natural and minimally invasive (true "health") care, life-honoring child care, natural child birth options, chemical-free home living, pure water, fitness... etc...
