Top Ten Food Companies Paying off the Government

Last updated on: December 14, 2011 at 5:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

Hats off to HuffPo Food (with the help of OpenSecrets.org–awesome site!) for assembling this list of the ten food/beverage companies that have spent the most on government lobbyists in 2011. While I won’t deny that there’s lobbying that’s legit, but most of it falls in the unjust weights and measures category–and, at the risk of sounding like a Bible-thumper (which I might be), is an abomination to God. Here are the top 10 companies that press their big corporate thumbs... Read more

Sensational & Salacious Stories & Scandals

Last updated on: December 13, 2011 at 5:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

One of the most discouraging things about blogging is that posts that tend toward the scandalous, sensational, and disturbing are by far the most popular. I say “tend toward” because not much on this blog is ever all that scandalous or sensational. But “bad” news is more popular than happy news, I’m afraid. There are bloggers out there (like Amanda Blake Soule–“Soulemama”) who do a brisk business writing exclusively happy crafty sunshine-y posts, but around here, the most-read, most-searched posts...

Soup Season

Last updated on: December 12, 2011 at 5:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

It’s cold! Time for soup. This is one of my favorite soups, not least because it’s one that my children are sure to eat. Plus, it is creamy and cheesy and full of wonderful vegetables. I was twelve or so the first time I had it, and it was served to me in beautiful pumpernickel bread bowls. I’ve never made bread bowls, but croûtes are just as good, if not better.(Simply slice a baguette on the diagonal, brush with olive... Read more

When you eat real food, you don’t need rules.

Last updated on: December 9, 2011 at 5:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

That’s rule #24 in Michael Pollan’s Food Rules: An Eater’s Manual, now out in a whimsically illustrated edition. As Laura Klein of OrganicAuthority.com points out in a recent post on the HuffPo food blog, if you follow this rule: “eat real food,” you don’t need other rules. I love this one. Of course, it’s not really a stand-alone rule–it assumes you know what’s meant by “real food” and it assumes a food culture that supports the eating of said real... Read more

Celebrating Sam

Tim and I are down in Philadelphia today to attend the memorial service for our dear friend Sam.The Broad Street Review has a short piece by Kile Smith, one of Sam’s former students, called “Samuel Hsu: A Polymath’s Giant Shadow.” From the essay: “Sam was the most ‘in’ the world and least ‘of’ the world of anyone I know. That quality rendered him exotic in evangelical Christian circles— this concert pianist, this Philadelphia Orchestra lecturer, this colleague of world-famous scholars.... Read more

The Food Companies Own You

Last updated on: December 7, 2011 at 5:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

Did you hear a bit of buzz about potatoes being banned from school lunches and tomato paste on pizza counting as a vegetable? That was part of Congress’ push-back against new regulations proposed by the Department of Agriculture, which administers the National School Lunch Program. Instead, Congress wrote a spending bill that has done the following: ~refuses to allow the USDA guidelines to limit starchy vegetables–including corn, potatoes, and peas–to two servings per week. (The goal here was to cut... Read more

Let Him Eat Steak

or, palliative feeding. Wherein I argue with a 91 year old. So, I’m still bringing those Saturday night dinners to Mr. and Mrs. S. And this Saturday night, we had a little argument, Mr. S. and me. I told him I’m going to bring a steak every Saturday night. He said I didn’t need to do that. I said, I know that, and what kind of steak sauce do you like? He said, A1.
