For The Love of Food
Welcome to Friday’s For The Love of Food, Summer Tomato’s weekly link roundup.
This week high-fat diet protects the brain, age is a mindset, and how to control cravings like a Jedi.
Too busy to read them all? Try this awesome free speed reading app I just discovered to read at 300+ wpm. So neat!
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. (Yes, I took that picture of the pepper heart myself.)

What inspired you this week?
I love all the work you put into these weekly posts. Thank you, I learn so much from these reads. =]
In “What If Age,” Grierson writes that Langer “imagines a day when blame is not the first thing people reach for when things go awry.” I find this helpful.
Thank you for all the helpful links. It’s always great to find a blog that sources all of this stuff for us, to give one place to go to find all that’s great and necessary for a healthy life!
