Did you know the average person spends more time per day sitting than they do sleeping? That a slew of recent studies show a strong correlation between sitting and weight gain, sitting and overall mortality, sitting and heart disease, and sitting and loss of bone density? As a writer, my work keeps me sitting in front a computer for hours a day. I sit while I research and write blog posts. I sit while I write books. I sit while I teach online courses and provide customer support. I sit while I promote my work on Facebook. And then, when I’m all done working for the day, I sit while I watch TV and movies, sit while I surf the net, and sit while I read books.
Grain-Free Macadamia Chocolate Chip Cupcakes
These grain-free macadamia chocolate chip cupcakes will leave you satisfied and full of nutrients. The macadamia nut butter in this recipe adds the protein and healthy fat needed to stay full. Just one of these cupcakes can get me through the morning. Macadamia nuts are also my nut of choice because they have a very low Omega-6 content compared to their counterparts. In addition, they are a healthy source of magnesium, manganese, thiamine, copper and iron. These cupcakes were also toddler tested, making them a perfect dessert for a birthday party!
Fight Back Friday May 31st
Welcome 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.
GMO Wheat Escapes, Tainting Crops In Oregon
Did you know there is no genetically modified wheat approved for U.S. farming? Yet farmers in Oregon recently discovered a non-approved strain of GMO wheat in their fields — a strain that Monsanto stopped testing in Oregon way back in 2005. Officials aren’t commenting about how the wheat may have gotten there, but I don’t think it takes a genius to figure out. GMO contamination of non-GMO fields is notoriously widespread, particularly in seed-bearing crops that are wind-pollinated.
I seriously doubt this was an act of bioterrorism, or that someone maliciously planted the GMO wheat in this field, or that the farmers are guilty of thieving and espionage against Monsanto. The simplest answer is likely the correct one, and the USDA is humming with all the potential ramifications of this if growth of the GMO wheat turns out to be far-reaching.

Major Victory as Jury Rules in Favor of Private Food Rights
I am doing my happy dance. Vernon Hershberger, the Amish dairy farmer recently on trial in Wisconsin for providing raw milk to his community, was acquitted last week by a jury on three of the four charges against him. The state of Wisconsin charged Hersbherger with operating a farm store without a retail food establishment permit, operating a dairy farm without a milk producer license, operating a dairy plant facility without a license, and violating a hold order that the state’s department of agriculture placed on food on his farm during a 2010 raid. Hershberger was acquitted of the first three charges and found guilty of the fourth. His acquittal marks a huge step forward in the food rights movement because it upholds private contracts between individuals and counters overbearing government regulations.

Grain-Free Stuffed “Shells”
Spring brings light and dirt under the fingernails and green! From asparagus to scallions to spinach you can expect your market — or better yet garden — to start with these early bright green foods. This recipe is a grain-free take on the classic comfort food stuffed shells. I completely take out the shell while the spinach-cheese filling transforms into “meatballs” that swim in a sea of meaty tomato sauce.
