The Edible Schoolyard
There’s a very cool article in the Telegraph about the “Edible Schoolyard” project at Martin Luther King Middle School started by Chef Alice Waters. I mentioned it briefly back in 2008, and it’s great to see that – 3 years later – it’s still thriving. Almost everything imaginable is now grown here, from 20 different herbs and salad leaves to mulberry trees, raspberries, plums, sweetcorn and...
Vites and Minerals are Dietary Supplements; but Not all Dietary Supplements are Vites and Minerals
Unless you’ve been living in a cave the last week or so, I’m sure you’ve heard about the latest study on dietary supplements. If you go by the headlines (as many folks simply scanning the news do), I wouldn’t blame you for concluding that dietary supplements are dangerous, in general – at least for older women.

I walked outside still wearing my reading...
Asian Carp Tacos? I’d Eat One!
According to this AP article, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources is trying to kill two birds with one stone: deal with an invasive species… and fight hunger. CHICAGO — Minced Asian carp tacos? How about spaghetti with carp sauce? Illinois officials hope serving the invasive species on a plate is the creative solution to two big problems: controlling the plankton-gobbling carp from entering the Great Lakes and record...
New Workout Vids Coming Your Way!
Been away from the blog for a couple o’ days, as I’ve been helping Paul put together a video page for the site. In addition to Paul’s fat loss supp-oriented vids, we’ll be hosting a series of workout vids, created by the “Goddess of Fitness” herself, professional trainer Sumi Singh. We’re not finished yet, but the hard part (figuring out the basic look and functionality) is in the bag. So from...
