"We can rock it nice and slow or really, really fast."... "Do I have your permission to rock away and give you the ride of your life?" Why does it feel like he's secretly talking dirty to me?

Jessica SorensenMy nutritionist says, 'If you bite it, write it.' Writing down everything that you put in your mouth really helps. I donโt count a damn calorie. But when Iโm really trying to eat healthy, I write everything down. It really holds me accountable and puts me on a healthier path.

Rita DoveMuch like teaching art to young art students age 10 to 15 or so on, you have to break it down into bite-sized pieces, essential components.

It throws a variegated glow over the horizon.

Ambrose BierceI'm close to being a vegan, but I'm not one, technically. I don't eat eggs, or nearly any dairy - no cheese or milk. I do eat honey, and a piece of milk chocolate here and there. It's never really been that hard for me. I've never had any desire to eat meat. In fact, when I was a kid I would have a really difficult time eating meat at all. It had to be the perfect bite, with no fat or gristle or bone or anything like that. I don't judge people who eat meat - that's not for me to say - but the whole thing just sort of bums me out.

We are demanding soil that is free to do its job and seeds that are free of toxins. We are demanding that our children be protected from harm. We all need to bite the bullet and do what needs to be doneโbuy organic whenever we can, insist on organic, fight for organic and work to make it the norm. We must make organic the conventional choice and not the exception available only to the rich and educated.
