Thoughtful Thursday: Join the Revolution!

May 17, 2012 By Leave a Comment

This Saturday, May 19th, is the first Food Revolution Day.  Founded by the Jamie Oliver Foundation, because, as Jamie himself says, better food education means a better life.  Food Revolution Day was created as an event that will educate and empower people to make healthier food choices, such as understanding where food comes from and cooking with real food and whole ingredients.

To participate you can attend or create a local food event, host a dinner party or bring food education to your child’s school or your workplace.   In the U.S., funds raised on Food Revolution Day will go toward launching the “Food Education Box” project in the Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs of America.   To learn more, go to FoodRevolutionDay.com.

Thoughtful Thursday Blog Hop! Born this Way

February 15, 2012 By 1 Comment

On Wednesday, February 29th, Lady Gaga and her mother will announce the official launch of their non-profit organization, the Born This Way Foundation (BTWF).  The foundation’s mission is to empower youth by creating a culture of acceptance and self-confidence.  As a parent, who wouldn’t want that for our children?

The foundation is working on ways to address a culture of kindness, bravery, acceptance and empowerment.  I don’t know about you, but I would so love to see this exist for our kids.  Visit BornThisWayFoundation.org to become part of this important movement.

Thoughtful Thursday Blog Hop! Paula Deen Style…

January 19, 2012 By 3 Comments

So now we are going to crucify Paula Deen for not telling us that she has Diabetes.  Seriously?  I don’t get it.  Personally I don’t watch cooking shows but over the past couple of years Paula Deen has been on NBC and our local affiliate numerous times.  Not once did I hear her say that her recipes are healthy.  Not once did I hear her say that she is the epitome of health or that her cooking and eating habits are ones to model for a healthy lifestyle.  So now people who make her recipes think she’s to blame for keeping her medical diagnosis private?  Are they kidding?  Did they not read the ingredient lists in the recipes?

End rant.  Whew.  I feel better now.  Thanks.

Let’s do this!  Add your favorite post and be sure to check out some of the other great sites in the linky.  It would be just great if you would also follow the hosts of Thoughtful Thursday: Found the Marbles, Rock & Drool and Sweaty Writes.  Thanks!

Thoughtful Thursday Blog Hop! Girl Scout Cookies for Everyone

January 11, 2012 By 2 Comments

If you have a food allergy, have a child with a food allergy or know someone with a food allergy, this may be of interest to you.  Each year when my friend’s kids are selling Girl Scout cookies I politely decline to make a purchase because my son has severe food allergies.  (Though what I wouldn’t give right now for a sleeve of Thin Mints.)  Actually, about 132,000 Girl Scout members are selling cookies that they cannot eat due to food allergies.  A petition was created to request that the Girl Scouts sell a cookie free of the eight major allergens so that everyone can join in the annual cookie fun!  If you are so inclined, here is the link to find out more: http://www.change.org/petitions/encourage-the-girl-scouts-to-sell-an-allergen-free-cookie
