For The Love of Food
Welcome to Friday’s For The Love of Food, Summer Tomato’s weekly link roundup.
This week a cardiologist calls Foodist “groundbreaking,” why our veggies are less nutritious than they used to be, and debunking the blood type diet.
Want to see all my favorite links? (There’s lots more). 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).
Links of the week

What inspired you this week?
I had read those top two articles earlier and feel encouraged that mainstream science is calling attention to some very serious issues: the (shall I say alleged) consequences of our over-use of antibiotics and germ-a-phobic culture, and how bereft of nutrients our “real” food (i.e., plant food) is. Thanks for listing those here.
OMG. The lemon juice hack is amazing! Thanks.
I enjoyed watching the interview!
I also enjoyed the article about foods we can find in the grocery store that are still somewhat close to their wild ancestors. I went out and bought most of those right after reading that!
