What to Eat

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

Marion Nestle wrote the definitive volume on Food Politics (really, that's the title), and I think her latest book, What To Eat, does a nice job of explaining how the issues affecting our nation's food supply touch us on a personal level every time we visit the grocery store. A recommended read for anyone who's having difficulty navigating all the different food movements.

Slow Food

3 people recommended this item

Description

Taking the time to thoughtfully prepare, serve and partake of a meal can be one of life's great pleasures, but in our ever busier lives we are not only forgetting to enjoy our food, we are forgetting *how* to enjoy our food.

The slow food movement isn't just about taking the time to stop and smell (eat?) the roses. It is also a strong base of support for maintaining biodiversity (the Incas had over 240 varieties of potatoes - how many have you seen in your local market?).

The Slow Food Movement has grown to 80K+ members in the past 20 years, and has meetings and events all over the world. For more info on the U.S. branch, visit www.slowfoodusa.org. (via janinemaclachlan)

I used to have a muffin each morning but once my fat tooshie stopped fitting into my jeans, I looked for a healthier alternative. These bars are healthy, affordable, and delicious.

Capay Organic Delivery: Farm Fresh to You

Organic produce shipped to you from the farm. Choose from mostly veggies, mostly fruit or an organic snack pack of fruits and nuts.

True, Capay only delivers local to Northern California, but a quick web search unearths a plethora of services available in other locales. Here is a sampling:

EcoMeal (NY/NJ)

Diamond Organics (Nationwide from California)
Organic Delivery Company (UK)

Alter Eco Cane Sugar

First to recommend

Description

It's organic, it's fair trade, and it is the BEST tasting sugar I have ever had. Move over, C & H - a pinch of this stuff sprinkled on top of my morning cappuccino and I am ready to face the day.

Available at "alternative" groceries like Whole Foods - their site (www.altereco-usa.com) has a store locator so you can find a retailer near you.
