Don’t eat too many chips or you’ll break out, right?
We’ve all heard that drinking gallons of water can not only keep your insides running right, but also help you with clear skin. So it’s no surprise to any of us that what you eat and drink can impact not just your weight and love handles, [...]
Many of you probably have heard about BPA and its potential harmful effects on humans. If BPA is so bad for you, why did it take the FDA 80 years to say something? WTF?
BPA, or Bisphenol A, is an organic compound, a chemical that is used in many food packages, such as the lining of [...]
Thanks to all who have shared your Thanksgiving meals! Now that it’s over and I have successfully gained several pounds, I thought I would share with my little Thanksgiving and how grateful I am not only for good friends, but also for companies that make quality ingredients free from hydrogenated oils and industrial processing.

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 of you who [...]

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, you probably cannot [...]
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 healthier [...]
Unintended consequences are just that – unintended. Sometimes the best intentions lead to adverse results. For example, the U.S. market-oriented agricultural system seems to be a natural result of Keynesian economy…let those who can compete compete and the weak will simply fall by the wayside…or is it a perpetuation of elite dominance?
Let’s look at the [...]
Over the course of the last four days, I have eaten more fast food than I have had in many, many, many months. I am a sucker for fast food, I admit it. Not very Zomppa-like or healthy, but it’s sometimes real good. But generally, it’s sort of a “treat” for me, not a way [...]
A friend of mine passed this along – it’s a documentary called Controlling Our Food that apparently aired in France in 2008 (many of you may have already heard of it) but it certainly is not one that will be aired anytime soon here in the U.S.
Why?
It doesn’t have too nice things to say about big [...]
