Links Grow on Trees – And So Does Good Food!

This weekend, I want to let someone else do the talking. Birke Baehr is an 11-year old kid, but he’s got the wisdom of a 40-year old and he wants to tell you what he thinks about our current food system. This is a short video, about 5 minutes, and its well worth the watch!!

I particularly love his quote that you can either pay for good food now or pay for hospital bills later. I plan to do some more talking about the food system in future posts, but if you’re interested in learning more, you could check out some of my past posts on food issues. I also want to share with you an update on the issue of triclosan – the environmentally toxic anti-bacterial agent that I wrote about back in April. A new study has been released showing that triclosan impairs muscle function in animals and human tissue. The evidence supporting the restriction of triclosan just keeps piling up but governments aren’t moving very quickly. If you are purchasing household sanitation products, remember not to buy anti-bacterial or anti-microbial products – they are no better than soap and water.

Last week’s articles were featured in a number of carnivals and link roundups this week:

Thanks to all the bloggers and carnival hosts who linked back to me this week! As I bid you adieu for the weekend, here are some great articles that I was reading in the blogosphere this week:

Did you watch the video? What do you think of Birke’s ideas and thoughts?

  1. Thanks for sharing that awesome video E&M. That’s a smart kid. It’s taking me a while but I am finally starting to come around with my food choices. Now I avoid all the processed crap and I’m beginning to buy more organic produce. I’m going to post this video on my facebook to help it spread a bit more.

    And thanks for mentioning my post. Enjoy your weekend.
