This blog is very nice and wonderfully done. I especially like the picture of Jake in the laundry basket! Very cute.

I am proud of you for taking such good care of Jake!

Hey Brent, We will definitely make a post on HFCS. I saw one of those commercials for the first time the other day and was appalled. I think it was the first thing I told Jeremy about when he got home that night. We did the same with getting everything with HFCS out of our house. I think some more may have crept back in, it is just so hard to find things without it.

I’d love to see a post on HFCS. The ads they’re running
are horrific. So misleading. Some funny spoofs on YouTube though.

We did an inventory of our cupboards and we are now HFCS-free. But man it’s hard to buy around that poison.

Great post.

Amy – somebody has to do the laundry, if Jake doesn’t do it it won’t get done! It’s about time he started earning his keep.

Erin – We’ll have to check out Jane Goodall’s book, we haven’t read that one yet. Animal, Vegetable, Miracle really started us eating local, and then we recently read Omnivore’s Dilemma which made us want to give up High Fructose Corn Syrup and eat only grass-fed beef. It is a really good book as is In Defense of Food. We can’t wait to hear what you guys are doing either, it is good to know other people are going through these same changes.

Hi guys – what a great idea for a blog. I’m excited to see what new ideas you come up with that I can borrow. I haven’t read Animal, Vegetable, Miracle but her other book of essays Small Wonder really inspired me. But what really got me going with joining a CSA here in Brooklyn was reading Jane Goodall’s book Harvest for Hope: A Guide to Mindful Eating. It really made me rethink what we were eating. And I agree that it’s something we’ve started thinking about even more since having a baby, and also for Min’s health. Can’t wait to read your good ideas!
