Food Safety VS Nourishment

pay the farmer now or pay the doctor later

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, and it occurred to me that there are two completely different philosophies when it comes to food. Of course there are those who don’t think much about food at all, which I find rather sad. Yesterday I listened to this presentation by Joel Salatin called Dancing With [...]

Reader Questions :: Exercise and Doing It All

A topic that came up several times in the my Reader Survey is my running and exercise routine. I’d like to know how you got into running. Did you try other exercises first and they just didn’t appeal to you? I’ve been trying to get into an exercise routine, but I just can’t find one [...]

Goals for 2012 (and a Reader Survey)

run

Since I’m all gung-ho about getting the new year off to a roaring start, I thought I’d write down some goals for myself. This is actually a new exercise for me. No, seriously, I don’t think I have ever written down a list of goals or New Years resolutions. You see, I am not exactly what [...]

I’ve been collecting these for two weeks so there are quite a few! Most are related to health and wellness and getting a fresh start with 2012.

If for some reason the video doesn’t load for you, you can find it at Ted.com. I’d love to hear your [...]

The Race

5K-08

When I got the running bug a few years ago, I decided I was going to run a 5K. I was up to running 3 miles (that’s pretty much a 5K, for the uninitiated.) I was about to sign up for one when knee problems started plaguing me and I had to cut back. I tried to [...]

What I’m Running To Right Now

barefoot running

I’m still running. I can’t believe I’m saying that. I have never kept up any form of exercise for more than 3 or 4 months, but I have now been running somewhat consistently for 2 years? Maybe 3? I don’t even remember when I started. I don’t run as often or as fast or as [...]

My Beef with Breakfast Cereals

breakfast cereals

Most “real foodies” — a term I loathe, but it gets my point across succinctly, and let’s face it, succinct is not my strong suit — avoid boxed breakfast cereals like the plague, and when I hopped on that real food train, I promptly removed breakfast cereals from our pantry as well. It didn’t take [...]
