Fake Food is Cheap People often ask me how I can afford to “eat organic.” It’s so expensive, they say. And they’re right. Sort of. Thanks to heavy government subsidies, foods produced by cheap corn and then trucked all over the nation are often less expensive than locally produced goods. Corn is everywhere, even though …
Daddypotamus: The REAL Challenge with Food and Weight
Sometimes Life kicks me in the gut and tells me I’m being a wuss. That I need to adapt and change. This is one of those times. But it’s not about choosing fast food or organic veggies. That’s not the REAL debate. The REAL debate is about pleasure and satisfaction: how do I get it, …

Kitchen Disaster
The Background The other day I saw this note from my friend Joanna posted on my Facebook wall: Ah! Flour is soaking for pizza tomorrow (your recipe). I keep wanting to check on it. Am I weird? The anticipation for yummy goodness tomorrow night is torture! Joanna is a self-described newbie when it comes to …
Don’t Miss This Video: Just Say No to GMO’s
Disclaimer: I do not believe Monsanto or any other company has ultimate control over human life. Our lives are in God’s hands alone. Still, controlling the food system comes pretty darn close.

Daddypotamus: How to Hook Your Husband on Healthy Foods
I received this note a week ago from a wife looking for tips to help hook her husband on a healthier lifestyle.

I truly believe God is moving me to become more healthy….beyond …
