Wow. My most sincere appologies for not having posted since... last year. I've been so busy with work, and life, and being incredibly sick over Christmas, and then omygoodness just Life. Well, I'm back and I hope to be more of a regular blogger. Anywho, my life's been good. Thus far, no complaints about 2013, except that I haven't been able to cook much. Don't get me wrong, I haven't reverted to frozen food tv dinners, but the creativity of my food has...slipped. I have been trying to eat healthier, eating lentils, fresh produce, and my favorite: quinoa.
Quinoa is a tricky thing, as you can read in this article: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2013/jan/16/vegans-stomach-unpalatable-truth-quinoa.
Though it is undisputedly healthy, it has serious affects on the economic status of peoples and on the environment. Though I don't want to give up this delicious grain, I think this is just a good time to pause and think about how our food intake affects the lives of people globally. No, don't just think of the starving children in Africa, think about native people who have to give up their multi purpose fields for one food source they will never eat. Think of sugar plantations, think of exploitation. Just reflect on how your life choices affect everyone, near and far.
Goodnight!
