I am going to be honest- I like meat. Nothing beats a good plate of meat and potatoes or the perfectly rare hamburger with all the fixin’s (I am not 100% sure if that apostrophe goes before or after the “s”). This may come as a surprise to those of you readers who see that [...]  Here we go again! Things have settled and I am working to get back up and running. We are working on getting the farm going again and we are looking into getting chickens this summer. It will be nice to have my own eggs and not search high and low for affordable organic free range [...] That’s all I can say. This blog has totally fallen by the wayside but I aim to reinvigorate it. So much has changed: I got married, quit my job to move to upstate NY, survived the aftermath of Hurricane Irene and the decimation of our hay farm etc….

The first responders were exposed to a bevy of toxins in the aftermath of the attacks and they should not have to go bankrupt treating their illnesses. Jon Stewart is championing this [...] Two weeks ago someone mentioned the term “slow money” to me as if I knew what they were talking about. Not having a head for finance I just thought it was a term they teach you in business school that I really don’t care about. However, I was very wrong. Slow money is something very [...] With so much attention focused on the ecological and economic aspects of the oil gusher in the Gulf of Mexico, it is worth reviewing some of the other potential human health impacts of this disaster. In addition to those discussed previously in this space, an excellent article about occupational hazards associated with the response to [...] How many times do you go into a restaurant without checking its sanitation record?
