wrap-up: Education Week may offer “education” you don’t value, part 5 of 5
In a class I attended on single parenting, the teacher repeatedly brought up the “McDonald’s Effect” (which you may remember from the documentary Supersize Me): McD’s is carefully, methodically creating its youngest generation to be its best customers ever. Play Places beckon with bright colors and all kinds of free fun. When [...]

This is a serious question. I’ve been drinking green and pink smoothies for about a month, and I’m elated. I love them. I try to make them as healthy as possible (trying not to overdo the fruits) and put all kinds of additional things in them besides my staples of massive quantities of [...]

I listened to this presentation for an hour by a very nice and apparently very poorly educated woman who very frankly has no business telling anyone what their diet should be. I love formal education and am often impressed by doctorate degrees. But sometimes a PhD is worthless when the person who earned it [...]

So I went to the lady’s class and learned two interesting facts that I shared with you yesterday. But that’s where the useful information ended.

Back to my five-part series tomorrow. Today I figured a way to get my cases of raw/organic agave SHIPPED in our raw-almond buy . . . and also add some great deals for you on raw walnuts, sunflower seeds, pecans, raw honey, organic cold-pressed coconut oil, and other items like dried fruit. I’m excited! [...]

Part 2 of 5 In a very huge curriculum across all topics, I found next to nothing on nutrition. I should really teach at Education Week. Somebody make that happen and I’m there.

Thoughts after BYU’s Education Week, and Hot Pink Breakfast Smoothie, Part 1 of 5
I was at Brigham Young University ‘s Education Week most of this week, with my gorgeous sister and two favorite cousins. (That’s saying a lot about how cool Rochelle and Quinn are, since I have 48 first cousins and they all rock out loud.) I got to see a few GSG readers here from [...]

I struggle with cooking every day, because I’m either busy, and also I don’t really like to cook. I try to cook something healthy everyday, but sometimes I just don’t feel like it. So I’m looking for ideas of healthy places to eat out. So, tell me what you all eat when you don’t want [...]

http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1917458,00.html Please read this article about the high price of the cheap food we eat. I am extremely unhappy with our president’s health care reform plan. (My health care reform would include disincentives for prescription drug use and incentives for healthy living “preventive” measures.) But I’m a big fan of Michelle Obama’s organic [...]
