Udder Chaos
Before I moved down south, I was living in the Big Apple. Loved Manhattan, loved the food. But as I proudly purchased my fruit at the little farmer’s market across the street from me on Central Park West on Saturdays, I quickly realized how little I knew how food is grown, or how to be [...]

Inequality of Olympic Proportions
I admit it, I’ve been kinda addicted to the Olympics. Who knew watching skiing and shooting could be so fascinating? Well, the 2010 Olympics is coming to a close, and Vancouver has certainly showed herself to be a wonderful hostess. I had the fortune to visit and eat my way through Vancouver last year, and [...]
Carbon Foodprint: To Meat or Not to Meat
I love my vegetarian friends. But I love my meat too. This is definitely a dilemma for me. I love animals. I love dogs. I think pigs are really smart animals. I care about the environment. I recycle. I reuse bags. I pay extra for the recycled business cards. Am I a hypocrite? For those [...]

You Lie! Food System Reform=Health Care Reform?
“You lie!” Source: CNN Ah, yes, the outburst heard ’round the world. What is it about health care that leads our politicians, who are supposed to be erudite, well-behaved, and level-headed (stop laughing), to act like 3-year olds in the sandbox? Make that 2-year olds. Unless you haven’t turned on the news or been traveling, [...]
Defending Industrial Farming
If you have been following us for a little while, you probably realize that I support small, local, family farms. I also try to stay aware of how corporate greed has infected our food (Taking Control) and support protecting our family farms (End of Farmer’s Markets?) Like many of you who support eating and living [...]
