Hey guys!
Have you ever met someone and felt an instantaneous connection, like you were kindred spirits? That’s exactly how I felt on Saturday when I met the gorgeous blogger behind “Eat, Move, Write,” Jasmine. Check out her re-cap of our meeting! Her talent with writing makes me disinclined to write my own re-cap lol [...]

Hey guys!
I’ve compiled some cool resources in the past couple of months relating to the “local food” movement and I wanted to share them with you and get your thoughts.
In general terms, the local food movement is an effort to build local “food communities” for both social-health and sustainability reasons. Basically, people want to become [...]

Hey guys!
Whether you’ve had your own wedding, been to one, or even eschew the thought of marriage — you’ve got to at least have an opinion on how much one should compromise, if at all, when planning it.
There was an article in the Sunday New York Times centering around that very question of compromise and [...]

Hey guys!
You know I’m a huge supporter of all things Michael Pollan and Eric Schlosser (co-producers of Food Inc.), so when Schlosser’s Op-Ed in the New York Times hit today, I was all over it like vegan cupcakes [full article here].

Hey guys! TGIF! Thanks for some very interesting feedback on yesterday’s post! I love respectful debates.

If you’re interested in food politics, you’ve got to check out Michael Pollan’s book review in The New York Review of Books titled, “The Food Movement, Rising” and linked here.

Panacea…a cure-all; or the Greek goddess of healing…is she embodied in the word “organic”?
(…I think you know my opinion based on the title of this post…lol)
I have to admit that somethin’ annoys me (well, what doesn’t, really? lol) and it’s that the word “organic” is thrown around like some sort of panacea that’s going to [...]

Hey guys! Ever since I decided to try out veganism at the end of December, I’ve fed my voracious appetite with research on animal rights, factory farming, ethics, and much more philosophy than I care to stomach. I realize saying I’m “trying out” something like veganism might seem insulting to those who revere it as [...]

Hey guys! Forgive me if I don’t “talk” much — I’m running on 4 hours of sleep! Blasphemy! Wanted to point you to some interesting things in the news. Are you ready for the good, the bad & the ugly (it’s not more MeMe Roth, promise!)?

The Good
Michael Pollan. In case you’re new to my blog, [...]
