@Johnlyn Broeder, I also suggest watching Food, Inc. Very thought provoking! And Johnlyn, I get what you mean about coconut oil- just remember that it is naturally solid at room temp, which makes all the difference (and does start to soften/liquify above 75 deg F). If you're conscientious about hydrogenated oils then this seems counterintuitive since things like Crisco are absolutely horrible for you. I bought a jar of coconut oil a few months back to use in place of Crisco and it is AWESOME!

I was right there with you. I don’t think the guy has it all right, but I felt like it got me thinking and confirmed some ideas I already had. And that middle section seems glaringly void of references which made it hard to muddle through, just taking his word on things involving science and the theory of evolution.

I’m in the midst of The Girl Who Played with Fire, which is a sequel to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Surely not everyone’s cup of team, but the plot is really riveting.

I am going to start The Maze Runner with my kids during April vacation as a read aloud so looking forward to that!

I’m currently reading In Defense of Food. I actually was about to quit (just stopped being enjoyable), but you’ve encouraged me to stick it out. I’m learning quite a bit, but I am often skeptical about his lack of references in many places. But I figured it’s a good starting point. I think I’m moving on to Nina Plack’s writings next.

I’m really sorry but link #17 is accidentally linked to the wrong post on my blog. #18 is the correct one. My mistake and I hope it’s not too big of a problem.

I loved Guerney PPP & Literary Society. There is a BBC Miniseries called ‘Islands At War’ that is about life on a German occupied Channel Island during the war. Wonderful, look for it at the library.
