Watch this movie!

Sorry to be so bossy but I really think everyone and I do mean EVERY single person in America needs to see Food, Inc.    Most likely you have heard about this film from friends or from Oprah…if not here is a simple run down: The movie delves into the real story behind where our food in America comes from; how food goes from the farms/slaughterhouses/labs to the supermarkets.

I am not a preachy person, although I am a vegetarian and enjoy buying organic and local food whenever possible I don’t go around making others feel bad if they choose to eat 3 meals a day at Burger King. Do I think it is a good idea to eat 3 meals a day at Burger King? Heck no! But hey, it’s your life. :)

For those of who you have already seen the film, please feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section. I am interested to hear other peoples’ opinions on what I believe to be an incredibly important film.

“love.without the handles”

I recently tried popchips after seeing them featured on a TV segment regarding healthier eating habits. They aren’t baked or friend but popped! I am not sure how that works exactly but it is supposed to be a healthier way to make a chip.

Since I don’t have a Wholefoods near me (waaaa!) I purchased some popchips at my local Target. They have no cholesterol or trans fats and are very low calorie. They are sort of a cross between a potato chip and a rice cake.  For those who love a good old fashion bag of greasy chips the popchips will probably be too bland for you, but for the organic/health conscience crowd these chips will be a big hit.

Since the popchips aren’t greasy like regular chips they are easy to put into a baggie and eat on the go. And since they are very low in calories, they make a good guilt free snack too.

So far I have only tried the multigrain but I look forward to trying some other varieties and seeing how they stack up.

  • On my way to where the air is sweet....

    I don’t get to watch a lot of adult TV these days. What I do get to watch is a lot of children’s programming, like Super Why and Sesame Street. Did you know Sesame Street has been on for 40 years?! Seriously…40 years of awesomeness! Go Sesame Street!
    While watching Sesame Street this week I took […]

    This is a (terrific!) Christian song; you don’t have to be a Christian, or even like Christian music to appreciate this song however. A sample of the lyrics is below as well as a link to a live performance of it. The video includes a minute or so of the musicians chatting about the song […]

    So in addition to teaching me that I can love a person more than I ever thought possible, my daugher has also taught me countless other things, some unexpected, most of them useful, here is a sampling:

  • At least somebody respects the cat

    Before we brought our daughter home lots of people warned me that our cat would become a second class citizen. They said we would barely remember we even had a cat once the baby was on the scene. I thought these people were just kidding - how could we forget we have a cat?!
    Well…they were […]

    Although the month is not yet over I find myself reflecting on what has been quite a month (so far)!
    Some things that I will remember from this December:

    Seeing the reaction on my daughter’s face when we turned on our outside Christmas lights for the first time.
    Feeling more rushed and pressed for time than any holiday […]

    I recently discovered one of the most fabulous products in the world…no sew hem tape. What is no sew hem tape you ask? Well the name is pretty self explanatory but just in case….it is semi-adhesive tape that you iron into the hem of your pants so you can easily adjust the length of your […]

    I am sure you have seen the commericals on T.V., “the blanket with sleeves.” Oh yes, I am talking about the Snuggie!
    I may have to buy one of these as an X-mas gift. On one hand it is pretty silly looking but on the other hand it looks awesome. Anyone own one of these?! Feedback please!

  • 38 days til Christmas...

    I always think it is cheesy when people announce (over and over again) how many days are left until Christmas. However, this year with time on fast forward (first holiday season with a new baby) I find myself wanting to know how many days are left. How many weekends do I have left to shop, […]
