Obesity Fights Back

For a little while it seemed like America might be on a course towards healthier eating and lower rates of obesity.  Michelle Obama unveiled her Let’s Move campaign, the FDA decided to look into Front of Package Labeling, and McDonalds started offering apple slices with Kids Meals.  But now it’s like we’re swinging, not just [...]

Let’s Go Fishing!

You may have guessed from my previous posts on grass-fed and free-range beef that I’ve been thinking about sustainability and meat a lot lately.  Beef was an easy thing for me to write about because I feel like I have a real handle on how to eat beef in a sustainable way: don’t eat it [...]

My Thesauris…I Mean Thesis

Have I told you about my thesis?  No?  My goodness! The monstrous 50 page (single spaced!) project I’ve been working on all this semester, and that I’m hoping to finish in the next two weeks so that I can get my MS next month, is titled the Food Culture Comparison.  It’s a project to help [...]

APA New Orleans

As I mentioned in a previous post, I just got back from the American Planning Association‘s annual conference in New Orleans.  You may wonder how I, a person interested in food and agriculture, ended up at a planning conference.  The thing is, the two have much in common. In fact, the APA has a Food [...]

How Free Ranging is the Term Free-Range?

I’m just getting back from a lovely week long vacation from school and am reinvigorated for all things food and agriculture related.  So…last post we looked at the benefits of grass-fed beef over corn-fed.  This post I want to discuss the differences between beef from free-range cattle versus those in confinement. Definition: Free-range is a [...]

Why Grass-fed Beef?

I’ve been craving meat lately. Normally my diet includes lots of veggies, quite a few mushrooms, a fair amount of rice and pasta, and a smattering of meats. Once or twice a week Sam and I will have a dinner based around a piece of fish or pork. When I’m feeling really industrious I roast [...]

Dieting the Amy Way

This is so cliched that I’m embarrassed to write it, but…here comes the New Year and I need to lose some weight. See, when I first moved to Boston I was all toned and tanned from my summer at Coon Rock Farm.  I took a light course load, spent a lot of time walking, and [...]

A Few Observations

It’s been a month since I last posed and yet I still have a week–a whole week!–before the term is over.  Since my papers and exams don’t allow me to craft a whole post I though I’d just list some interesting, sad, and amusing observations I’ve made this past week.  While waiting in line to [...]

Conferences for each and every day!

I just got back from the Northeast Sustainable Agriculture Working Group (NESAWG) conference in Albany, NY.  It was educational, fun, network-y, and well worth attending.  I signed up to help with way too many working groups, but if any of them do half of what they have proposed it will be well worth it. The [...]

How Much Calcium is in That Stuff?

This morning as I poured a generous serving of half and half into my coffee I started wondering how much calcium this daily ritual was providing me.  I’m getting close to 30, which is the age when women stop increasing their bone density, and so my goal is to get 1300mg of calcium each day. [...]
