A short (30 minute) documentry everyone should see.

“Food” is a 30-minute documentary that follows your dinner from the plate to the field, farm and ocean. The investigation reveals some surprising facts about the modern food chain. You may be surprised how far your oranges have traveled, what’s in your farmed salmon, and why your chicken breasts are so large these days.– Thank You KPBS.

I found this really interesting video on KPBS about salmon fish…farmed vs. wild. Check it out!

Random piece of info from the NY Times:

Most mammals can sprint faster than humans — having four legs gives them the advantage. But when it comes to long distances, humans can outrun almost any animal. Because we cool by sweating rather than panting, we can stay cool at speeds and distances that would overheat other animals. On a hot day, the two scientists wrote, a human could even outrun a horse in a 26.2-mile marathon.

It is recommended that women drink no less and 2.7 liters a day and men drink no less than 3.7 liters a day.

How hydrated are you??

I do not believe the current food pyramid has our best interest at hand. Here is how I think the food pyramid should really look like. We should all print this and put it on our refrigerator!
