I woke up this morning to a parade of Elmos.

Article supporting potatoes and sweet potatoes are comparable

Both have high GI etc, and are often eaten in highly processed forms (should avoid). But overall in terms of vitamins, carbsetc they’re comparable. And saponin effects are unclear (and are present in many veggies). (link)

La Cosecha / The Harvest (2011)

“Every year there are more than 400,000 American children who are torn away from their friends, schools and homes to pick the food we all eat. Zulema, Perla and Victor labor as migrant farm workers, sacrificing their own childhoods to help their families survive. The Harvest / La Cosecha profiles these three as they journey from the scorching heat of Texas’ onion fields to the winter snows of the Michigan apple orchards and back south to the humidity of Florida’s tomato fields to follow the harvest and provides an intimate glimpse into the lives of these children who struggle to dream while working 12 – 14 hours a day, 7 days a week to feed America.”

Preach it, Meg!

There have been countless articles written about how self-absorbed and lazy my generation is. Everyone wants to tell us we don’t have our act together; we’re just pissing away our 20s. Older generations always criticize the work ethic of younger generations, so I’m honestly not taking these articles personally. The issue I take with these articles is that they chastise us for what we’ve done wrong instead of educating us on how we can live better. If you are wise and accomplished, then please, share your knowledge not your judgement!

In this TEDtalk Dr. Meg Jay empowers us to live intentionally. She doesn’t say BAM, start that family tomorrow! Meg kindly reminds us that if we want a family by the time we’re 35, we can (and must!) start making small shifts today to reach that goal.
