Seriously.

THE FARM BILL SUCKS.

I could write a ten page paper (oh wait — I did that) on how much I hate this disgusting piece of complicated legislation. Michael Pollan (okay, I know a lot of vegans hate him, but I don’t) wrote a great piece on it a while back in the NYT. I would bitch more about it, but I’m at work. And Michael Pollan’s take on it is probably a way more engaging argument.

 Oh. Here are some brownies I made for my friend Leah who just left for South Africa. The recipe is mine, but it needs some work. I’ll post it once I get a chance to make more brownies. My friends are lying a state of sugar-induced a coma from all the baking I’ve been doing, so it may not be any time soon.

A Real Pyramid to Follow

11 April 2007

If you’re reading this blog, you either know me and have heard me complain about the FDA/USDA or you’re familiar with the Food Guide Pyramid corruption. Well here’s an incredible find.

The Honest Food Guide

Basically, the “Health Ranger” has put together the Honest Food Guide. It outlines what kinds of foods to avoid and what kinds of foods to incorporate into your diet. And, just by coincidence, only one part of the Healthy side isn’t vegan (fish oils — omega-3’s? We’ve got our walnuts!).

After seeing this, I want to go on a tour to rid our country of that corrupt, outdated crap the FDA/USDA touts as health!
