is never simple…
This TED talk by Ellen Gustafson on Obesity and Hunger is a great presentation. She mixes humour in with a very bleak subject, and is passionate about what she believes in. She has publicly stated her opinion, which I feel is of concern to the 80’s kids generation, of which I can relate. [...]
10 tragic moments in food propaganda
first off — HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. thank you writer Shah, for pointing out how ridiculous food propaganda can be. Mixing politics with food is like trying to open a fresh 5lb paper bag of flour and having it explode – everywhere. Poof!
Though, it says a lot when such food companies [...]
Hello faithful reader
I apologize for my lack of May posts. May has been a really hard month. It’s been tough since spring break because I’ve been feeling really burnt out, and I hold it all in, because I don’t like being the debbie downer, holding bad news all the time about what not to eat [...]
this one’s for my B. :)
No one else I know has such a sweet tooth as he, other than myself as a teenager when I lived off of sugar, fat, and processed microwavable junk too. Ironically, he’s a dentist, and his ultimate indulgence is sugar. MmmHmmm, just like my sinful doctor friends who smoke like [...]

Is the Question of the Century.
We all make difficult decisions and sometimes unconscious decisions everyday about what to eat. I know I wake up wondering about lunch and dinner, and when people ask me to pick a place to eat or to recommend them a good or fun restaurant, I know I [...]
So summing up a discussion we had in class the other day,
I love that when our instructor asked “is nutritious food good food?” I’m pretty sure she silenced the crowd – birds chirped, and tumble weeds rolled right into the classroom.
I almost died laughing after that. Have we all gotten so jaded that we over-think [...]
In the past two months, I’ve been trying to wrap my head around economics. HaHa, yes. Let’s take a moment here to giggle. Those who know me might laugh at the fact that I’ve avoided taking any sort of economics class since high school, and that I make a goofy “math face” whenever I compute [...]
A Good READ on Salon:
How Food Television is Changing America
Here’s the convo my dear friend has been keeping, on a very worthy note ;)
Simon Y: Is that a prof of yours? You know, I actually am surprised another TV network is starting up. I supposed it may not have occurred to me just how popular [...]
