MORE COOL STUFF
Another wonderful and informative read is the first non-fiction narrative by author Barbara Kingsolver "...that will open your eyes in a hundred new ways to an old truth: You are what you eat." It is a funny, poignant, informative and, as always with Kingsolver, well-written chronicle of a year in which she and her family vow to eat only local foods in their proper season. What they learn changes not only what and how they eat, but how they look at life.Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, will change the way you think about who you are...er...what you eat.
"ORGANIC" has become a BIG business!!!
There's so much controversy out there about whether and what to buy organic -- you've most likely noticed that even the big supermarket chains have introduced their own 'green' product lines (some more 'green' than others, by the way), but here's a list of the the 'dirty dozen' -- fruits and vegetables that research has identified as the most important foods to eat organic:
- APPLES
- BELL PEPPERS
- CARROTS
- CELERY
- CHERRIES
- GRAPES (imported)
- KALE
- LETTUCE
- NECTARINES
- PEACHES
- PEARS
- STRAWBERRIES
And here are the 'clean fifteen' (meaning it's okay to buy them conventionally grown, because they aren't sponges for the pesticides):
- ASPARAGUS
- AVOCADO
- BROCCOLI
- CABBAGE
- EGGPLANT
- KIWI
- MANGO
- ONION
- PAPAYA
- PINEAPPLE
- SWEET CORN
- SWEET PEAS
- SWEET POTATOES
- TOMATOES
- WATERMELON
