Welcome to Friday’s For The Love of Food, Summer Tomato’s weekly link roundup.
I’m back! Sorry I haven’t posted any link love in the past couple weeks, I travelled to British Columbia and then Hawaii for some much needed relaxation and quiet time to get some work done. The finish line is finally in sight for the big project I’ve been working on. More details soon.
This week sitting may be as bad as smoking, health journalists fail again, and a simple tip to boost willpower.
Want to see all my favorite links? Be sure to follow me on on Delicious. I also share links on Twitter @summertomato, Google+ and the Summer Tomato Facebook page. I’m very active on all these sites and would love to connect with you. (And yes, I took that pepper heart pic myself).

What inspired you this month?
Where do you find tomatoes in jars? Do you have a favorite brand?
Pomi tomatoes are BPA free (they come in a box) and seem to be pretty readily available. I even found them once at a dollar store since they were about to expire so I bought the lot and froze them.
