The courage to be sill in the madness
Countercultural, yes.
But really, not counterintuitive
By Salome Loving Photo by: Marco Verch Professional Photographer As individuals who are fascinated by food, we are always open to trying new things, especially the yummy produce that each season brings (Rhyme was totally happenstance). This week, we are going to incorporate more citrus in our meals as winter is the peak season for […]
Read MoreCovid-19 inequalities based on race and class, and the urgency of combating climate change, necessitate a mass movement to increase plant consumption and fight against the power of the corporate food industry.
Read MoreIn a time of emotional events and click-bait headlines, it is easy to gloss over the nuance of the mundane, and what we can learn about our inner selves and the world from mindful living.
Read MoreI have reconsidered the tone and conclusions of my original article and, although still affirm the main thesis, I believe there must be an alteration of tone. My reconsideration is based upon the following personal experience: I am a white person, and all the people I know who have been infected, and/or who have died from Covid-19, are Black.

Read MoreThe disproportionate impact of Covid-19 makes it clear and imperative that both during the pandemic, and beyond, we dedicate ourselves to a movement to empower nutritional improvements in rural and urban low-income communities. This will require the sharing of scientific information, but information sharing of itself will not be sufficient. I believe we need to build grass-roots support in low-income white, Black and Latinx communities to build trust, then share information, then provide support for those seeking nutritional improvement.
Read MoreI found Dr. Gregor’s discussion of the Paleo Diet to be extremely compelling, especially as the idea of return to our natural roots for consumption has a great deal of appeal to me. But to learn that homo sapiens were 95% plant-based for 90% of our evolution, that omnivorous animals don’t have heart disease, and that the average paleolithic life span was 22 years, gives great fodder to counter points of meat eaters.
