OCTOBER!
Yikes - it's been a while since I've updated this site!
Our new members and continuing support from "old" members have helped us maintain our 6% discount on non-sale items. Let's KEEP IT UP!
Some interesting food related items for you to consider:
I recently heard an interview with the author of the new book, The Coming Famine. He makes the argument that "[t]he era of cheap, abundant food is over," and leaves us with several good ideas that just make sense. Scary but good.
If you haven't seen the movie, Food Inc. yet, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!? See it now. (You can stream it from Netflix). There's also a PBS program about it here.
A new study has come out showing lower pesticide residues AND higher nutrition values (for some nutrients) in organic foods. You can read about it here. Of course, this contradicts a study that was done last year showing no difference!
Another study suggests that compounds in non-stick cookware may be associated with increased cholesterol levels in children and teens (from ScienceDaily.com - a great site).
And, if you're a Margaret Atwood fan, you might be interested in this interview about her newest book, The Year of the Flood. (Not exactly food related, but Margaret Atwood is so great!)
