Last Spring I had the opportunity to see this film in my city. It pushed me to bring more organic/locally sourced foods into my household. It also inspired a manual wheatgrass juicer purchase which made way to smoothie-making.
If you haven’t seen this film, check it out! I found the section about vitamin therapy very interesting. I liked it so much I bought a DVD copy after the screening. To look for a screening, or host one in your area, check out www.foodmatters.tv
Last year I got a small basil plant from my CSA that I let flower and go to seed. This Spring I started about 40 seedlings with the hopes of eating pesto all summer long. Too bad this growing season has been a bust. Rainy weather and too little sun made for cooler temps, throwing my basil container garden off balance.
Bit the bullet and bought a car last year. Never thought I’d own a car, actually. They seemed like a lot of trouble in the winter, among other things. And though I chose one of the most fuel-efficient cars out there today, it still consumes a lot of nasty chemicals. Gasoline, motor oil, coolant, brake fluid — all necessary evils. But how about windshield washer fluid?
