I absolutely love watching the GOOD Magazine Transparency videos on youtube. If you’ve never seen one, check this one out. I garuntee you’ll find yourself lost in the sidebar watching their other videos! This one in particular I love because of how simple the message is, “Eat healthy, live healthy.” Good nutrition IS the key to vibrant health.
This magazine is running a fantastic campaign called “Transparency” that promotes all kinds of ethical thinking and awareness. There are postings on oil, war, water…etc etc etc.
On another note, I want to take a paragraph to do some shameless product promotion. I could dizzy myself with facts for you all on the importance of getting the proper protein in your diet, and for those of you who are vegetarian I’m sure you’ve been asked the question, “Where do you get your protein?”
( I guess on the flipside, those of you who aren’t…I’m sure you’ve asked a veggie that before!)
Beside being very conscious of my diet and attempting to keep it as varied as possible, I’ve adopted a new protein powder that strays away from Whey or Soy protein (which have questionable effects on your health if you consume too much of either!) It’s called Vega and it was developed by a guy named Brendan Brazier who also happens to be vegan, a professional Ironman triathlete and best-selling author on performance nutrition. It’smade exclusively from natural plant-based whole foods.
After incoporating this into my skimpy-college meals for the past couple of weeks I’ve noticed a huge difference in my energy levels as well as not feeling so snacky all the time. Yummmmmmmmmy! (It’s kind of expensive, and I was skeptical at first, but now I’m a believer!)

I am sure you have heard of Michael Pollan, Berkely Journalism Professor/author, but if not he has basically become the journalistic voice for food. Whats in our food, what to avoid, how food has changed bla bla bla. This pop tech lecture is really worth the time to watch…
