1. Now New Yorkers can eat healthier and even more delicious meals out on the town thanks to Clean Plates NYC guide book. Buy it here I recently met the authors at the Hungry Filmmakers Fresh Films documentary screening and they're two great guys.
2. Speaking of documentaries, I strongly encourage everyone to check out End of the Line (a film warning us about the global consequences of overfishing) and Fresh (a grassroots film featuring America's favorite farmer Joel Salatin and best selling author Michael Pollan).
3. And speaking of Michael Pollan, I recently picked up and quickly read his newest book, Food Rules. This short and sweet book reminds us of the simple fact that eating should not be so complicated. Follow his clearcut rules to help you navigate the treacherous landscape of modern food as well as the confusing science of nutrition.
4. Last but not least, head over to Cornucopia Institute's website where you can check out a national survey of organic dairy products. The Cornucopia Institute is a not-for-profit research group that highlights products from ethical family farm producers. Their website also exposes factory farm producers and brands that threaten to take over organic dairying. We all know how important it is to buy organic, antibiotic free dairy products. Find out what score your brand of yogurt gets!
