How to eat better
This is a digest (if you'll pardon the pun) of information on the gap between the typical modern Western diet and what our bodies are adapted for. There's certainly a big gap between what I eat and Ran Prieur's recommendations, but there's a lot of food for thought here.
Grow your own Food
Audrey's "Grow Your Own" Blog
At the risk of sounding smug I am keeping to my New Year resolution to reduce my carbon foot print by eating more food that I grow myself. Despite those sub zero temperatures earlier in January I have with just water, warmth, air and a few jars above the kitchen radiator managed to get a very good crop of sprouting mung, aduki, alfalfa, chick peas and green lentil seeds.
Adding them to soups, stir fries and salads has proved a really fun way to get at least one of my 'five a day' of very fresh veg.

Any interest in joining a Stoke Newington/North London food co-operative? (credit crunch times!)
Hi all,
Would anyone be interested in getting together a
group of people to place organic wholesale food
orders? Many wholesalers will accept a minimum
order of £400 or so placed by a private group and
you can get huge savings on pantry items such as
tinned tomatoes, beans, pasta, oils, grains,
spices, wine, ecological cleaning products....
Please email me if you're interested!
Thanks
