Don’t Fall For Greenwashing

This parody is great.  I’m inspired…

Yeo Valley Farmers Rap About Organic Dairy

The Yeo Valley farmers are taking a different approach to spreading the good word of organic dairy.  These UK farmers are the next hip hop sensation, or at least they are in my book!  They enlisted music video director Julien Lutz, aka Little X, to deliver his magic touch.  This is no amateur organic dairy video.  And the farmers are pretty hot if I do say so myself.  I think I’ll take home farmer number one in the video.  Clearly there is a world of hot farmers I wasn’t aware of!

The Five Greenest Self Storage Facilities

by Art Decker

One of the most exciting trends in the self-storage industry right now is environmental awareness. Owners and operators of self-storage facilities are embracing the concept of eco-friendliness and are becoming very pro-active in adopting practices and measures to make their facilities green. The U.S. Green Building Councilís LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) certification, an independent verification that design and construction was done using strategies aimed at improving performance across several environmentally-related metrics, has become a coveted designation in the industry. A growing number of self-storage facilities already are, or soon will be, LEED certified. Listed below are five facilities that have particularly distinguished themselves as among the greenest in the U.S.: (more…)

Going Meatless and Anti-Aging?

Last night I had one of those lovely door to door people selling magazines for the troops.  I just happened to get a charming guy and now the troops will be getting Health & Fitness courtesy of me.  I know, I’m a sucker, shut up. Anyhow, while he was taking my information he asked if I was 24.  I said, ha, no but thank you.  Then he said, you’re vegetarian right?  Well, as a matter of fact I am.  He then goes into a story about how all the vegans and vegetarians he knows look way younger.  Now I have no scientific evidence of this statement, but I like it none the less!  So if you needed a reason to go Meatless on Mondays maybe it’s anti-aging effects are it.  Or maybe that guy was just flattering me for the magazine sale, no no, that can’t be it :)

Dear Jourdan,

The largest ever egg recall, then this from the FDA: “Failure to take prompt
corrective action
may result in regulatory action being initiated by the FDA
without further notice.”
Are they serious? A warning letter is all you get for spreading
disease across the nation?

No wonder the recalls keep rolling in: yesterday it was salmonella-infected pork and
bacteria-laced celery that’s led to four deaths; today they found salmonella
in cantaloupes.

The industrialized food system is broke, and we need to fix it. If you’re incensed
whenever people get away with this sort of thing, there is something you can do
about it: join the fastest growing food movement dedicated to making food good,
clean and fair today:
