I can't wait to dive in. His book's been on my Wish List for a few months now. Thanks for sharing the link to that article. I can’t wait to dive in.

It sounds very interesting. I'll never wrest meat away from the members of this family (which is to say: my husband), but we could definitely stand to be more conscious of our choices. My veggie patch was a complete disaster last year. I'm going to try again, but I'm already a little sad thinking about it....

I sure am learning a lot about food from you. The book I reserved from the library that you discussed a few postings ago (Fast Food Nation) is now on tonight’s reading list.

That same friend sent me a link to his last essay, which I read immediately. I absolutely love his work, and while I still make the occasional fast food run, I've become much more aware of what I'm putting into my mouth, and where it comes from. His book should definitely be required reading for anyone who eats. A friend of mine recommended Omnivore’s Dilemma to me last year and I absolutely loved it.

Although, with the introduction of the South Beach Diet (low fat, low carb) I feel like my awareness of nutritional value has been on the rise while my weight has managed to fall. As dangerous as these fads can seem, it at least it appears that people are still concerned about their health. Despite the repackaging of processed foods (which I think we all know are just not any good) there are the Quaker Oatmeals, Cherrios and Yoplaits out there that are making consumers aware of their nutritional value as it pertains to reducing cholesterol and improving bone health. It's when people stop caring altogether and products stop advertising their nutritional benefits that I'll be really worried. PS. Grow all the vegetables you can - it all tastes better when yanked directly from the soil. I’ll admit, I fall prey to these rises and falls in nutritional weather that he refers to.
