Here's a great site I found over twitter: http://organicconnectmag.com/wp/
Organic Connections is a magazine that focuses on food, health, agriculture, and business as they relate to organics. The publisher has a blog page at http://organicconnectmag.cin/wp/publishers-blog
When I visited, I was really interested in this article about Marc Koska, a man who invented something revolutionary to help fight against the HIV epidemic in third world countries.

Nell Newman, who created the line Newman's Own Organics talks about the definition of "natural" on food labels, about genetically modified foods, and the growing interest in organic foods here: http://organicconnectmag.com/wp/2010/03/nell-newman-defining-natural-and-organic/
(also, if you want to visit her site, it's http://www.newmansownorganics.com/)
And when you visit, don't forget to give your input on this poll!
Poll: What is the biggest problem with America's school lunch program?
Tell me, if you have a favorite Newman's Own Organic product, what is it?
I personally LOVE their Newman-O's, a much healthier version of Oreo's (what's more - they taste much better!).
How about you?

I voted that the lack of fresh foods was the problem with the school linch program, but truly the problem is trying to feed nutritious choices to a large population of picky eaters, who may by and large be accustomed to fast food, processed foods, and junk foods as the staples of their diet. How do you get kids in a school lunch line to pick an apple over a bunch of french fries... that is a matter of pro-active involved parenting,which may be greatly lacking in the target population: and not a matter of bureacratic managemnet of the lunch program.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, good parenting has a lot to do with the choices children make on their own accord.
