Food Democracy NOW!!

Act Today Or Kiss Your Organics Goodbye!
After years of bureaucratic wrangling, Secretary Vilsack and the Obama administration are only days away from approving Monsanto’s genetically modified (GMO) alfalfa. If approved, GMO alfalfa will fundamentally undermine the entire organic industry overnight. In addition, the USDA says American consumers don’t care about the contamination of organics. 

Please join us in calling on Secretary Vilsack and President Obama to stand up for organic family farmers by rejecting the approval of Monsanto’s GMO alfalfa. Tell them to protect organic integrity and seed biodiversity over corporate profits. Click here!

Attention Athletes! Ditch the sugary, fluorescent, artifically colored sports drink for a healthy version that will keep you hydrated on your long workouts:

Mix coconut water, coconut milk, and fresh pineapple juice (amounts vary depending on taste) and enjoy! FYI: Coconut water has more potassium than a banana. Drink up!

Day 31/18 of Detox…today is the beginning of 3 shakes per day for 4 consecutive day.  Problem is that I am not quite ready to do this and refuse to straddle a weekend, especially Superbowl weekend!!  I will not drink any alcohol but I will allow myself one healthy solid meal on Sunday. I will begin my “day 18” on Monday.  Keep in mind that I am a mini pro at this so me moving around the days does not hurt me at all. I will have done this detox for almost 2 months if not more by the time I decide to come off so it’s ALL GOOD!
