CHEESESLAVE

Think your kids won’t eat raw oysters? Do they turn up their noses at liver and onions? You need to read this post.

I had the most interesting conversation with Ceci, the woman who owns our daughter’s daycare. She has a few secret tricks up her sleeve to get kids — any kid — to eat anything.

Yes, liver. And yeah, tripe. And, yep, pretty much anything else you can imagine that you think a child would never eat. Octopus. Natto. Pancreas. You name it. All those super-nutrient-dense foods that are going to give your kiddos high cheekbones, a wide, beautiful face, and perfectly straight teeth.

Wardeh Harmon, author of the GNOWFGLINS blog, is launching a brand new eCourse to teach how to cook traditional foods. Wardeh, who lives in the Pacific Northwest on a small family farm/homestead, is using revolutionary “new media” tools to teach people about how to prepare real food.
Using video and audio and blog posts, (as [...]

Yesterday I did my first ever podcast show with Rami Nagel, author of Cure Tooth Decay and Healing Our Children. Rami and I spent an hour discussing nutrition and healthy teeth, and how to reverse and prevent tooth decay.

We just got back from our Christmas trip to visit family in Texas. I had the most interesting talk with the woman sitting next to me on the plane. I feel compelled to share it with you all.

I love talking to immigrants from so-called “developing countries”. I can spend hours talking with them. Why? Because I want to know how they did things in their country, how they ate, how they cooked, what their family’s health was like.

Last Thursday Real Food Media bloggers attended the soy prison press conference in Chicago. According to a press release issued by the Weston A. Price Foundation:

Citing serious health conditions due to high levels of soy, inmates in the Illinois prison system are suing for a permanent injunction against the substitution of soy for meat in prison meals.

Today’s the last day of the Weston A. Price Foundation 2009 Conference. It has been AWESOME! I’ve met so many wonderful people — farmers and foodies and activist heroes and geniuses. I got a million lovely hugs, and sampled the most fabulous food. At the end of this amazing weekend, I am moved and completely [...]

Japanese food is one of my favorite cuisines. Growing up in Texas, I also cultivated an appreciation for BBQ sauce. Today we’re doing a fusion dish. Call it New American meets Japanese: BBQ Natto with Shrimp.

Many farm fresh foodies and locavores have experienced the frustration of trying to encourage our families and friends to support local farms. A few cotton to the idea, but many do not. Rather than alienating my close friends and relations by becoming a noodge, I decided to focus on delivering the good news of a healthier way to eat on folks I hadn’t yet met.

I love podcasts! I like to listen on my computer while I’m working — or download them onto my iPod and listen while I’m driving or cooking or working out at the gym.
I also love Sally Fallon Morell. Author of Nourishing Traditions and Eat Fat, Lose Fat: The Healthy Alternative to Trans Fats (co-authored [...]

I’ve got to tell you about these truly healthy potato chips I had at Expo West. Good Health Natural Products sells a kettle potato chip made with olive oil. Unlike most potato chips, which are made with soybean oil or vegetable oil — decidedly unhealthy oils.
