Yesterday we went to see the movie Food, Inc. It’s not exactly a fun light-hearted movie, but on the other hand, if you eat food and live in America you should try to see this movie as soon as possible.
The movie exposes the industrialized food system in America and the effect it has on the [...]

Vegetarian Chili Recipe

Everyone is hearing these days about the salmonella scare on the tomatoes, the problem with the spinach last year, etc. It seems more and more we are having problems with contaminants getting into our food supply and sickening lots of people.
It seems logical that food grown in huge quantities in one location and shipped all [...]
