Glenn Beck's Bizarre Outburst Against Meatless Mondays and Vegetarians
This goes along with the story that I posted in 4.0 about Meatless Mondays in Baltimore schools Jon Stewart ended an interview with climate-change contrarian and Super Freakonomics co-author Steven Levitt on Monday night by noting, "I've apparently frightened our audience by suggesting that conservation isn't the only way out of any of the problems of the world. I sincerely apologize." He added, "And I do also believe that we should just eat vegetables."Big Food vs. Big Insurance
Kinda long...so I only posted the first page. I linked the second page of the article at the bottom. By MICHAEL POLLAN Published: September 9, 2009 TO listen to President Obama’s speech on Wednesday night, or to just about anyone else in the health care debate, you would think that the biggest problem with health care in America is the system itself — perverse incentives, inefficiencies, unnecessary tests and procedures, lack of competition, and greed.Salad Days for the Internet: Use the Internet to order locally grown produce
Great article in the NY Times: Salad Days for the Internet http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/05/fashion/05cyber.html?ref=fashion By MICHELLE SLATALLA Published: June 5, 2008 THE other afternoon, my husband and I were drinking beer on the front porch and already feeling a little dirty about what we planned to do later — grill a big fat steak brushed with butter. Then a terrible thing happened. We saw a registered dietitian power-walking down the block.Eating Better Than Organic
Not long ago I had an apple problem. Wavering in the produce section of a Manhattan grocery store, I was unable to decide between an organic apple and a nonorganic apple (which was labeled conventional, since that sounds better than "sprayed with pesticides that might kill you"). It shouldn't have been a tough choice--who wants to eat pesticide residue?--but the organic apples had been grown in California.
My Views On Health
“Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity” My view is pretty simple: A healthy body starts with a healthy mind. You can buy all the health foods and nutritional books you want; however you'll never fully commit if your mindset isn't on track. Once you find a way to release any emotional issues (yoga, therapy, etc) then your happiness and health start to blossom.
