Kelly’s Real Food Journey Video

I love getting to know people — listening to their stories, learning about what’s important to them. Kelly The Kitchen Kop (who has put together an amazingly stress-free, step-by-step introduction to eating Real Food in her Real Food For Rookies E-Course) is one of those people I wish didn’t live so far away. In the video below, Kelly covers a lot of interesting ground.

You CAN Farm!

It’s the name of a book by Joel Salatin. And it’s the message of Michael Gallagher, a new farmer and founder of Square Roots Farm.

Michael’s story is fascinating. It’s the story of a brilliant kid destined for Wall Street. Okay, so maybe others thought he was destined for Wall Street. He had something else in mind entirely — farming.

Real Food Nutrition eCourse Is LIVE!

Are you a parent? Wondering how you’ll possibly teach your kids about Nutrition in a convincing way?

Fight Back Friday September 3rd

Welcome back yet again to another Fight Back Friday! Today we are bringing together another collection of recipes, tips, anecdotes, and testimonies from members of the Real Food Revolution.

Who are they? Why, they’re the Food Renegades. You know who you are — lovers of SOLE (Sustainable, Organic, Local, and Ethical) food, traditional food, primal food, REAL food, the list goes on. I believe that by joining together, our influence can grow, and we can change the way America (and the industrialized world) eats!

So, let’s have some fun.

Genetically Modified Salmon And Other Abominations

In two weeks, the FDA will hold public meetings to “hear advice” about whether they should approve genetically-modified (GM) salmon. These salmon have been genetically engineered by AquaBounty Technology to grow at twice the rate of non-GM salmon by forcing the salmon to produce growth-hormone year round.

According to press reports, AquaBounty isn’t just growing GM salmon. They’re also growing GM trout and tilapia. And other companies are waiting in the wings to get FDA approval for GM pigs and cows.

5 Mistakes Real Food Newbies Make

We’ve all been there. There’s always a learning curve whenever you’re trying out something new. But sometimes it would be real nice if that learning curve weren’t so steep. If, instead, you could simply learn from other people’s mistakes.

Today I invited Kelly the Kitchen Kop to share her Top 5 Mistakes she made as a Real Food Rookie.

GIVEAWAY: Real Food For Rookies E-Course

Confused about why so-called healthier food options like whole wheat bread, organic skim milk, or tofu aren’t really all that healthy? Overwhelmed by the process of changing your diet to include more traditional, nutrient-dense foods? Well, you’re not alone! There are lots of people just like you out there — people who are eager to take control of their diet, but are intimidated by a lack of knowledge. Thankfully, Kelly The Kitchen Kop created an online course to help all you Real Food Rookies out.

If you’re thinking of enrolling, enter this giveaway first. Not only will one of you lucky folks win a place in the online class, but everyone who enters will get a coupon code for 15% off the course (that’s an $18 savings)!

Why I’m Not Afraid of Salmonella

If the recent outbreak of salmonella in U.S. supermarket eggs is any indication, food borne pathogens are not going away. In fact, they are increasing in number at an alarming rate. Yet I’m not afraid of contracting salmonella from my eggs. In fact, I eat them raw.

Am I stupid? Do I have a death wish? Nah. I just know my farmer.
