  • Foie Gras - the Real F-word
    PETA, Farm Sanctuary, and The Humane Society of the United States agree that foie gras production is cruel and inhumane.
  • The Big Confusing O - What Does "Organic" Mean?
    Officially, the word organic refers to anything that is now, or ever was, alive. Even National Public Radio hosts are organic. It's true.
  • Ed
    Ed. I will never forget him. I learned a lot about life from Ed. I learned a lot about poverty. I learned a lot about myself. The funny thing is, I'm not exactly sure what I learned.
  • Natural Remedies, or Unto Us a King is Born
    I recently had to call poison control because my beloved 170 pound dog, Atticus, drank a cup and a half of myrrh. I want to explain this. Here I go.
  • Organic Meat? I'm so Totally Sure!

  • Four Weeks (More or Less) to a Whole New Me
    I've had a hard couple of years. As a result, for awhile, I found myself uncharacteristically drawn to books and articles promising me "a whole new me." The old me had been really boring me. I wanted to be happy.
