Links of the week
- Don’t think of it as a New Year’s resolution. Think of it as a new skill. – Excellent advice from Jae Berman. (Washington Post)
- A massive amount of American food safety inspections aren’t happening due to the government shutdown, and it could mean more food-poisoning outbreaks – I guess it’s a good idea to make sure you’re mostly eating cooked food these days. Such a bummer. (Business Insider)
- Court Strikes Down Iowa’s ‘Ag-Gag’ Law That Blocked Undercover Investigations – Huge. Great to see this. (NPR)
- Snack drawers and other ways to teach kids to eat in moderation – I like this idea. Anyone try anything like this with their kiddos? (Washington Post)
- Gardening Could Be The Hobby That Helps You Live to 100 – One of the most common activities for centenarians that live in Blue Zones. We’re looking forward to planting season here in the Pacific Northwest. (BBC)
- Is There an Optimal Diet for Humans? – What would you guess? (NY Times)
- 12 Reasons To Ditch The Diet Mentality – Wow. It’s almost like I wrote this. The world has changed a lot since I first started ST. That makes me happy. (Huffpo)
- Caring About The Quality of Your Food Is Not A Disorder (Orthorexia’s Many False Media Positives) – 100%. It’s nearly impossible to eat healthy in Western culture these days and not seem a little odd compared to everyone else. That doesn’t mean it needs to be detrimentally obsessive. As Yoni says, caring is not a disorder. (Weighty Matters)
- Don’t want antibiotics sprayed on your citrus? Sorry – it’s about to expand, big-time – This is very dangerous. Antibiotic resistance is pretty terrifying and I’d hate to see this happen. (Florida Phoenix)
- A Michelin-starred chef says restaurants should stop serving avocados because they’re the blood diamonds of Mexico’ – I’d actually never heard this before and it’s worth considering. (Insider)
- Is Eating Deli Meats Really That Bad for You? – It drives me nuts that I can only find “no nitrates” (hint: that’s BS) and “uncured” (also BS) bacon at Whole Foods these days. That’s all labeling slight-of-hand. When I do consume processed meats I get the most high-quality meat that has been processed in the most traditional ways possible and understand that it’s not the healthiest thing in the world to be eating, so make it a special treat. (NY Times)
- Ribollita – The Tuscan Stew you Should be Eating Regularly – I love winter stews. Nom nom nom. (101 Cookbooks)
