This and That
Written by Karen on August 26th, 2009
While I scale the Rockies (no violins, please;-) I didn’t want to keep you from receiving vital information on the healthy bandwagon, so…here are some timely tidbits from fellow bloggers:
Kelly the Kitchen Kop offers a wonderful summation of the film, “Food, Inc.” If you haven’t seen it yet, make sure to put it in your queue.
The Modern Forager takes a no-nonsense approach to the constant challenge of balancing food, fitness and fat.
Speaking of fat, we need it! (healthy fat, that is…) Take a look at Michelle’s findings which further substantiate: eat fat to lose fat.
There has been a lot of bally-hoo lately over the pro’s and cons of agave nectar. As you know, I use it often in my baking recipes, but have been ‘taking note’ of recent findings. Judy Barnes Baker gives her perspective on agave and other alternative sweeteners.
And, of course no posting of mine would be complete without an excerpt from my sustainable food guru, Michael Pollan. It’s a sobering look at how our society has moved from the kitchen to the couch as we devour cooking shows on the telly.
Enjoy the potpourri. Let me know your thoughts…and see you in a week!

I read the articles…very interesting.
I know that good fats are good for you…but I’m wondering to what degree? For people who are trying to avoid it, they need more, but I feel like too much fat (nuts, yogurt, avocados, oils) might still be overkill? I guess the answer is everything in moderation.
So what do you think about the sweetener issue? Agave isn’t perfect, but aren’t all the fake sweeteners filled with chemicals?
