bearshortyI started reading Michael Pollan’s “In Defense of Food” again. It is late, and I can’t renew it since it is also on hold for someone, so I will just have to pay a fine whenever I finish it. But I really want to read the whole thing. Holy crap about low-fat diet! We get so inundated with messages on how low-fat is good for you that we don’t even think what low-fat means for content of the food. And it is hard to accept that studies actually show that all that low-fat diet doesn’t really work. I hope the new writing program textbook has newer Pollan stuff.
I was also looking over Jamie Oliver “Food Revolution” cookbook, now that I’m home, and it has lots of curry dishes and is very friendly and approachable. I had an idea to cook in New Hampshire on our group vacation and that just got into a higher gear. Bear and I will pick the recipe we’ll use but I definitely want to try something out of this book.
Some links:
Trailer for “Harry Potter 7” from MTV awards; I can’t wait for the movie.
A fun campaign to overturn prop 8 .
Hee. Same newspaper in all fictional worlds, fun number of images. Why would they have a fake newspaper that they keep recycling?
