I'm not sure how days go by so quickly - I do keep up with my food collages pretty much daily, but all of a sudden I've got a bunch of them that haven't been posted. When I started these I was involved with a web fitness community where I...
The Expense of Real Food
A friend sent me a link to a Mark Bittman article, "Is Junk Food Really Cheaper?" that is worth reading, particularly for those who claim they can't manage to eat real food because it is so much more expensive than processed food. It may...
The Midwestern Contrast
Over dinner last night my photo-taking of food grew into a quite a bit of laughter as the conversation turned to the comparison of the plate of my friend with midwestern eating patterns (lasagna and a very white looking salad) and the...

In case you thought I eat beautifully and perfectly all the time, Saturday evening will prove you wrong. I even hesitated putting up the photo for Saturday, though I did take photos of most of it. Not sure how I got so off track, but I...
The choices we make about food
Just read Scott Tousignant's blog, discussing his very reasoned and moderate approach to food choices. Definitely worth reading and thinking about! I gave a response expanding on my own thoughts about belief and values driven food choices...
