Eat Like Michael Pollan
by Lloyd Alter
Michael Pollan has written a new book, In Defense of Food (2008, Penguin Press), in which he is critical of not only the way we eat, but also the way we are told to eat. He calls it nutritionism.”It’s a way of thinking,” he tells the Globe and Mail, “that elevates nutrients above the food itself, that tells us food is foremost about health.”
His...
“Real knows real. You don’t teach that extra something someone has inside...”

Thought.
unalone:
There are three kinds of people. There are the people who brush fireflies off their keyboards at night, and there are those who see it as a sign to look around for a bit and stretch out on the hammock.

While riding home, C and I were briefly separated. Upon reuniting, my tire slipped on the cobblestones of West 14th St., and I remember lying in the street, looking at oncoming headlights and rolling...
Coyote Medicine →
Oh that Coyote! Up to his usual tricks no doubt and creating chaos and mischief every where he goes! Yet Thank God/Goddess/All that Is for Coyote medicine and the people who carry its energy, for without him and them, this world would be very drab and dreary indeed! And have a little sympathy for those of us who do carry this medicine; like Raven and Crow, its not an easy path to walk.

Broccoli Pesto & Fusilli Pasta Recipe
You can certainly add a handful of basil to this for more traditional flavor - you’d still get the added nutritional perks from the broccoli. And by all means, feel free to cook your broccoli in a skillet with a bit of salt, olive oil, and water. This way you won’t loose as many nutrients in the cooking process - the boil and drain method takes more nutrients out of the final dish. I...

121 QUOTES BY OVID
• A horse never runs so fast as when he has other horses to catch up and outpace. • A man is sorry to be honest for nothing. • A new idea is delicate. It can be killed by a sneer or a yawn; it can be stabbed to death by a quip and worried to death by a frown on the right man’s brow. • A prince should be slow to punish, and quick to reward. • Against the bold, daring is...
