Warning: these are all food related. Sorry. It’s what I’m reading about these days.
Three more studies that should make you skeptical of mainstream health advice — The Healthy Skeptic.
Children who often drink full-fat milk weigh less. — Physorg.com.
The Slow Food Experiment. I just found this blog this week although I’ve followed Veronica on Twitter for some time. I’m intrigued, of course, and I look forward to following her journey. Perhaps you will too.
Parent groups have a cow over campaign pushing chocolate milk as ‘health food’ — Daily Finance. Chocolate Milk as a Health Food? Oh just kill me now.
And while I’m sharing ridiculous things in health news, how about Cocoa Rice Krispies boosting your kids’ immune systems? In his typical humorous and informative way, Tom Naughton writes Swine Selling Cereals on his blog Fat Head. Haven’t seen Fat Head, the documentary? You should! Good stuff. Entertaining and enlightening — my favorite combination.
Okay, I’ll stop now. My blood pressure is going up, and it’s not from all the saturated fat I eat.
Y’all have a great week, now, and be good while I’m away!

Thanks for the link to Veronica’s new blog. I enjoyed Toddled Dredge, and I love the idea.
On the first link you have posted about full-fat milk that same website shows a study about flavored milk.

Interesting tidbits to add to that discussion.
Good links! Going to get that movie tonight to watch with hubby. Looking forward to it.
Have a great trip!
I know it’s not time for “ask the housewife” yet, but I would love to hear how you handle family and friends who might think you’re crazy for your food choices. For instance, I have learned so much lately about real food/whole foods etc. (much from your blog and links) and it’s all I can do to listen to their “healthy” foods conversations such as skim milk, lowfat everything, Quaker granola bars as a health food, calorie counting etc. etc. I have the hardest time starting small and being delicate about sharing what I’ve learned. You touched on it when you posted about your son’s health teacher, but what about close family and friends who aren’t on board at all? Any advice?
Okay, so that movie is not so readily available in Blockbuster. I will have to order it online, I guess.
I’d love to hear your comments on what Kari asked. A lot of people think I am a bit crazy with the saturated fat thing. I think they think it is a fad. The real food/whole food just makes so much sense to me.
