Only You Can Keep Animals Off Drugs

January 17, 2012

I can’t count the number of op-eds, blog posts and general news articles I’ve read about the FDA’s recent move to ban extra-label uses of cephalosporins — a type of antibiotic – in meat production in the past two weeks, but Mark Bittman’s piece for the New York Times pretty succinctly sums up what [...]

Food Prices & Hunger: How Are You Coping?

January 4, 2012

I’m talking about rising food prices and hunger over at BlogHer today. I’d love it if you’d join me and share your thoughts!

I went grocery shopping the other day and came home with an empty wallet (despite growing much of our food ourselves, I might add) to read that, according to the United [...]

Places I Recently Found Sugar

December 30, 2011

I thought I had a pretty good handle on what it would mean to go sugar free in 2012. I’ve been reading labels since my teens when I found out that I have food allergies. I know that there’s sugar hidden in dressings and condiments galore. I am well-aware that most snack [...]

Everyday Beauty: Early Winter Harvests

December 17, 2011

It’s been unseasonably warm this winter in our part of Michigan. In the past week we’ve had days where the daytime temperatures climbed well into the forties and fifties. This has made for some interesting, late-season gardening that we can’t normally partake in. These enormous Chinese Green Luobo radishes are among the [...]

Dark Days: Lamb Curry

December 16, 2011

It’s not traditional; to serve your lamb curry atop smashed turnips, but it is delicious and a great way to use one of the few harvests that are still rolling in during this unseasonably warm Michigan December.
Every year I mean to participate in (not so) Urban Hennery’s Dark Days Challenge — an exercise in [...]

Sugar-Free 2012: The Gauge

December 15, 2011

As I’ve begun taking this whole making-2012-a-sugar-free-year thing more and more seriously I’ve found myself becoming both excited and nervous as hell. Have you ever really paid attention to how much stuff has sugar in it? I have. Because I happen to be a sugar addict who acknowledged her problem long ago [...]

Vlog: Recipe for a More Radical Food Movement

December 6, 2011

Some of you may remember that video blogging was one of the items I included in my 12 by 2012 list. I included it because it’s something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time, but also something that makes me very, very uncomfortable and I knew that a public deadline would finally [...]

An Open Letter to PETA: The Fine Print

November 22, 2011

When I sat down last week to hammer out an irreverent letter to PETA in response to one of their outlandish Thanksgiving ads I’d run across online earlier that day I really didn’t expect it to garner much attention. I expected to meet my NaBloPoMo quota with a post that was at least somewhat [...]

Elsewhere: The Broad Side

October 31, 2011

I signed up for NaBloPoMo again. I’m not sure why I keep doing that; because I’m a glutton for punishment, I suppose. So, in the spirit of resting up before the big race I’m taking a break from blogging today. I do however, have a syndicated post over at The Broad Side, [...]

On Food and Ag and Eras

October 17, 2011

I really want to begin this post with the statement: “Nobody wants agriculture to go back in time.” I have my own hefty dose of wishful thinking, after all. I would love to be able to write this from behind rosy-colored glasses and proclaim to the world that we’re all on the right track, [...]
