For The Love of Food
Welcome to Friday’s For The Love of Food, Summer Tomato’s weekly link roundup.
This week the nutrition labels get a facelift, an essential guide to habit building, and how to optimize your interval training.
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?
AWESOME list of websites and articles there. Thanks for sharing. I discovered your site last week and got inspired to make an effort to cook at home. So far so good 🙂 I picked up some healthy fresh veg and fruits as well as some meats. Cooking a NY steak tonight for the first time and then will slice it up to go over salads for the week. Mmmmm…I also volunteer at an incredible organization called FoodShare, a non-profit organization with a vision of good healthy food for all.
I’m volunteering in the compost section and learning SO much. I’m so inspired that I want to begin my own worm bin at home and create vermicompost 🙂 Hoping to start a window sill garden and have fresh herbs for cooking.
Ahhhh. Exciting stuff.
Best!

Hi Darya!
I totally agree that milk is a highly processed industrial product that contributes negligible nutritional value in a person’s daily diet. However- I do include organic full fat yogurt on a fairly regular basis and feel there are some beneficial (most probiotic) reasons for doing so. What is your take on yogurt in light of the questionable US practices of producing milk?
I try to find the least industrial yogurt I can. It’s usually quite expensive.
