I really hate to pop up every month or so and show you something gross. I\’m not doing that here, by the way. I am, however, linking you to an important article about how the poultry industry is changing and how it will affect you. Earlier this month, while you were busy sneaking out of […]
http://vimeo.com/57126054 This six minute clip has no words. It doesn\’t need any, however, to explain why you should be questioning what you eat. It’s a clip from the documentary Samsara, directed by Ron Fricke. Link via trueactivist.com
The video above was made in 2003, and describes a frightening narrative that has been tossed about lightly, mainly because the science needed to confirm the hypotheses takes time. Fast forward 10 years (and right upon my return from vacation, no less), and this week we have yet another peer-reviewed study out of North Carolina,

Okay, so I\’m not actually going to tell you how to get free groceries from the grocery store. That headline used a fair bit of hyperbole. However, I AM going to tell you how to get started with a garden because, for us plant-eaters, it means free food…from the EARTH! I asked my friend, Desmal,

James Gandolfini died last week of a heart attack. He was only 51. I didn\’t know the guy, but his death rattled me. As did the sudden death of comedian Patrice Neal, who died of a stroke at only 41; the death of Rick Byargeon, 56, a pastor and former professor at New Orleans Seminary

The American Medical Association (AMA) has officially labeled obesity a disease, inadvertently causing a furious debate over one question, \”Is obesity the result of purely external factors or is it simply a failure of self-governance?\” The Facebook pundits have already weighed in on the story. Friends and others in my network have quipped, \”Can we

Unsurprisingly (for those of you who know my story), I\’ve been thinking about the link between nutrition and disease for awhile now. My change in nutrition has not only allowed me to lose 100 lbs., but it has also reduced my blood pressure (which has gone from an average 140/90 to 120/80, and often lower),

It\’s scary time on Eating To Live…just in time for Memorial Day, even! I\’m sure it won\’t be this way often, so don\’t assume I\’ve gone dark or anything. Cancer is honestly one of those things you can\’t talk about without a collective hush coming over the room. It\’s a plague that\’s taken too many

If you\’ve ready ANYTHING on this blog, you\’ve heard me gush about Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn. Just so you know, I\’m not a stalker…though he hasn\’t returned my five-hundred-and-eighth phone call and I\’m starting to get twitchy. Anybody know where he lives? What were we talking about again? I\’m a fan of Dr. Esselstyn because he\’s

Just for the record, I wasn\’t sold on plant-based nutrition from the outset. We briefly tried to go vegan early last year. It lasted a couple of weeks before we were back to grilled chicken and burgers. My entry into the Esselstyn diet has honestly been one of necessity. I\’m going down this road because
