Falling into the Farmer's Market

By horsewoman | Sep. 27, 2007 | 1 Comment|post a comment

Last weekend's trip to the farmer's market was markedly different from last week's, a sure sign that fall is on it's way. Sweet corn had been replaced by squashes in every shape and color. The green beans I had been hoping to buy andfall.jpg freeze were no more, potatoes red, brown, and purple in their place.. Soon, pumpkins, mums, and apples will take over and fall will have officially arrived.

Q and A with Savvy Vegetarian: How to Feed a Family and Not Gain Weight?

healthy children

Question: With 6 it's faster & cheaper to order pizza - any cheap, easy, healthier way to be vegetarian and not gain weight?

I'm 25 years old. I have been a vegetarian - by choice - for 14 years. I have a 1 year old daughter, a 6 year old son, and two step-children. I am no longer breastfeeding because my milk production slowed to a halt several months ago. I drink some milk, very little eggs, some fish, but no chicken or meat.

Zipcar Confessions

By Paige | Jul. 17, 2007 | 1 Comment|post a comment
I am one week into my Zipcar experience and for a car-dependent yet socially aware individual trying to be more green, it has been a dream come true. I first heard about Zipcar from a friend who wanted to test drive a prius, not necessarily to become more green but to obtain the clean air sticker to drive in the carpool lane for his commute between San Francisco and San Jose. (sidebar: they have actually run out of the clean air stickers, but the prius is still in demand - check it out here.)

Wal-Mart Selling Sustainable Seafood

By Paige | May. 25, 2007 | 2 Comments|post a comment

Whole Foods, Wal-Mart, and Bon Appetit food service company all shared the stage for the sake of sustainable seafood at a pre-conferance seminar held at Monterey Aquarium's Cooking for Solutions confab.

Peter Redmond, Wal-Mart's vice president in charge of seafood also announced the company is shifting towards buying more wild, domestic shrimp despite the fact it is more expensive. This is all in an effort to begin shifting the 50 million pounds of shrimp that the super chain normally purchases from Thailand.

Walmart is clearly trying to jump on the sustainable seafood bandwagon after seeing the success of Whole Foods and others who have managed to really capture the sustainable consumer experience.

Whole Foods Launches Weekly Cooking Show

By Paige | May. 8, 2007 | 0 Comments|post a comment
In the world of organic and sustainable food, Whole Foods is a celebrity in its own right. While CEO John Mackey has experienced his fair share of controversy lately via blog battles with Michael Pollan, there is no doubt that local and organic food is on the map because Whole Foods helped place it there. And with the recently launched Secret Ingredient, a weekly cooking show, we predict Scott Simons to be a future celebrity in the world of green grub!

According to the press release:

Keeping Your Digestion Healthy with the 5 Rs

Balance

A healthy gastrointestinal (GI) or digestive system is the cornerstone of wellness. Your digestive tract not only processes nutrients, it also rids your body of toxins. An unhealthy digestion can compromise the body's immune system making you more vulnerable to a variety of illnesses.

When it comes to taking good care of yourself, there's nothing more important than what I call the "5 Rs" of gastrointestinal care: rebalance, remove, replace, reinoculate, and repair.

Instilling Lifelong Healthy Eating Habits in Children

"I see a lot of eating patterns in families that don’t optimally benefit the health of the child, and the parents for that matter.

“In America we are very used to having a convenient lifestyle, a fast lifestyle, which means eating a lot of processed and packaged foods that can be, for the most part, lacking in many of the nutrients we need.

“Families should go back to a whole foods diet, cook when they can, eat organically, and use clean, filtered water. These are some of the basic changes that can be a little difficult for families to make, but once they start making them and start feeling so much better and healthier, they are lifelong habits that they’re instilling in their child.”

Breakfast is No Time for Cookies!

By Mary | Jan. 29, 2007 | 2 Comments|post a comment
Nearly every morning my kids ask if they can have cookies for breakfast.  And every morning I tell them "No way, breakfast is no time for cookies!"  "Why???!", they ask.  "Too much sugar -- it's bad for you and can make you sick," I respond.  "How do you know?" asks my now 6 year old girl who now questions everything.

Good question.  I showed her (and myself!) the sugar labels on the cookies we often eat for treats and then the cereal boxes from the cereals they most often eat for breakfast.  Guess what?   Compared to a lot of the cereals, cookies weren't that bad.
