Hi everyone,
While the inaugural issue of the Three Sisters Nutrition newsletter will be coming out sometime next week, I'll also be sending out a bite-sized news digest every Friday. Just a few food-oriented current events you might want to chew over...yes, I said it. Let me know what you think, and see you next week!
In health,
Stephanie

- WASTE NOT, WANT NOT: In response to those who claim we don’t have enough food to feed the world, I submit this article
on food waste in the USA and UK. Apparently just 1/4 of the food we
throw away would be sufficient to keep the rest of the Earth’s
population from going hungry. Having worked in restaurants in the
past, I’ve seen first hand how much food is left on plates and
subsequently thrown away – often due to the excessive portion sizes!
You can reduce waste in your own home by buying only what you need and
thinking creatively about how to use leftovers. http://www.guardian.co.uk/
environment/2009/sep/08/food- waste - LIVE UP TO YOUR IMAGE, WHOLE FOODS: As we all
know, John Mackey, CEO of Whole Foods, has recently developed a severe
case of foot in mouth disease. For instance, he has announced that WF
are purveyors of junk food, revealed that their 365 brands need to be
tested for GMO contamination, and stated that he doesn’t believe all
Americans deserve access to subsidized health care or unionization. In
a beautifully crafted letter, The Organic Consumers Association calls out Whole Foods on
their half-arsed commitment to organics and their shifty marketing
tactics, and challenges WF to step up to the plate. So to speak. http://www.organicconsumers.

- SO HOW LOCAL IS LOCAL? The newest phenomenon in advertising, “localwashing”, would be hilarious if it weren’t so sad. Check out this medeley of corporate giants
such as Hellmans and Citgo who are claiming to be your good ol’ mom
and pop store. Even Starbucks is getting in on the game, creating funky
and unique looking coffee shops with deceptive names. This is all
too confusing. http://www.grist.org/article/
