Healthy Eating for Kids: Brussels Sprouts are My Daughter’s Favorite Food (Really!)

Healthy Eating for Kids: Brussels Sprouts are My Daughter’s Favorite Food (Really!)

How a tragedy helped my daughter develop healthy eating habits early on. When it was discovered at my daughter’s 3-month check-up that she was losing weight because I actually had a very low breast milk supply, I was about as devastated as I’d ever been in my life. “You have to add formula” the doctor insisted. I refused. We hired multiple lactation consultants and tried everything to get my body to make more milk. I was taking so much fenugreek that it sent my hormones into batshit crazy mode. I couldn’t sleep. I was feverish and sweating constantly. Crying all the…

Developing a Taste for Animal Rights: For Our Health, for Our Planet, for Our Future

It’s Blog Action Day, and while I generally cringe at putting my name next to anything promoted as a “blog”, this is a worthy cause as the theme is “inequality.” As someone who has been a vegan and animal rights activist for more than 20 years, writing about inequality in our food system is a no-brainer. It’s an important topic to discuss. From the food deserts, to the high price for healthy food, to the tons of it going into the trash while millions go hungry. But no issue is more pressing and more ignored than eating animals.

Marion Nestle Nails It on the Healthy Pregnancy Diet Dilemma About Eating Fish

We know quite a bit about the best foods for a healthy pregnancy diet: lots of protein, not too much sugar or salt. Lots of good fats, fiber. You get the picture. But what about fish? In light of overfishing, fish fraud and excessively high levels of heavy metals in fish these days, it seems any recommendation for eating fish as part of a healthy pregnancy diet is ill advised. But the FDA recommends it: “Eat 8 to 12 ounces of a variety of fish each week from choices that are lower in mercury. The nutritional value of fish is…

5 Reasons I’d Still Be Vegan If I Were a Dude

As the vegan movement grows, statistics say it resonates most strongly with women — at least so far. Of the 2.5 million or so Americans who identify themselves as part of Team Vegan, about 79% are female.
