Meat Labels: TidBit of the Day
What do you think of nutrition labels being placed on meat in 2012? I say add the source, lot #, whether the animal was raised humanely or in gestation crates, what feed, and what additives/hormones were added. Check out this great post by So Good about Oprah’s investigate video into Cargill’s feedlots…PR effort or real [...]
The Bird and the Fish: To Be Continued
I once heard an adage about a bird and a fish who fell in love. The conundrum of this tale of futility was where they would make their home. Today, the world is full of birds and fish fighting the odds. So, the story I tell here is the sequel: The bird and the fish [...]
Got (Drugstore Cow) Milk?
Got milk? While there is debate out there (i.e. T. Colin Campbell’s The China Study – good read if you haven’t yet) about cow’s milk and its benefits and dangers, a lot of us drink milk or at least give it to our children. But do you know where your milk comes from? If you [...]
Yakking it Up on the Rooftop of the World
When I had the opportunity to go to Tibet, I jumped at it. In recent years, there have been a lot of romanticization about Tibet. It’s been trendy to put prayer flags on front porches, talk about the Dalai Lama, and fantasize that it is a country of yogis and vegan Buddhists. Lhasa is an [...]
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 [...]
Drag Queen Shrimp
Happy Fourth from the other side of the pond. I spent the evening of the Fourth at the home of the Durham Bulls where Team USA cleaned out Team Guatemala 18-1 by the bottom of the 8th inning. They called the game at that point…everyone was anxious for the fireworks, which admittedly, were some of [...]
Maharaja Value Meal
Due to high demand, I actually went into the McDonald’s here. I haven’t eaten at one in almost a year (last time didn’t end up too well), even though I love their fries. This was one happy day. Happy Meal it was. The McDonald’s was super nice and clean with upbeat funky dance music playing. [...]
Yes! He Loves Meat too.
I got the green signal from my son, GT’s paediatrician to start him on solids. Introducing him to single/multi cereals was easy; he loved the new tastes and textures. As parents, my husband, who loves his meat and me a vegetarian (it has been 15 years!!!) made the decision to feed our children with meat-as [...]
Don’t Knock the Big Guy
I realize that Whole Foods has gotten a reputation for being “Whole Paycheck.” I too have taken to driving 20 minutes to Trader Joe’s when I need bulk items because it’s cheaper and I can’t justify paying some of the prices at Whole Foods (plus it’s just a great place!). While Whole Foods has also [...]
