For the Love of Food
Welcome to Friday’s For The Love of Food, Summer Tomato’s weekly link roundup.
This week a major magazine vows to stop fat shaming, mental badassery, and the horrors of the pork industry.
Too busy to read them all? Try this awesome free speed reading app to read at 300+ wpm. So neat!
I also share links on Twitter @summertomato and the Summer Tomato Facebook page. I’m very active on all these sites and would love to connect with you.
Links of the week
- The Price Of Pork <<The Chicago Tribune does an amazing job of investigative journalism examining the steep prices we pay for cheap pork. It’s a series of several articles, and it just might be enough to break you of your industrial meat habit.
- David Chang’s Unified Theory of Deliciousness <<One of the best articles on food and what makes it great that I’ve ever read. (Wired)
- Health Secrets of the Amish <<Amish children have much lower rates of asthma because they are exposed to more cows prenatally and as children? This is fascinating. (NY Times)
- Mental Badassery: Becoming Aware of the Stories We Tell Ourselves <<Understand this about yourself and you’ll understand what keeps you stuck doing things you regret. (Zen Habits)
- How Language Affects Your Fitness and Weight Loss Practice <<On a similar note, the actual words you choose in those stories is critical as they shape the frame of your experience. (Mark’s Daily Apple)
- Why this magazine is ditching the ‘body shaming’ language <<Hell yes. This is a huge deal and victory for emotional health. (LA Times)
- The Sad Ballad of Salad <<Salads get no respect, but it doesn’t need to be that way. Again we go back to the stories we tell ourselves. (The Atlantic)
- Is Sushi ‘Healthy’? What About Granola? Where Americans and Nutritionists Disagree <<For me the big question here is why we need to classify foods as “healthy” or not in the first place? In my opinion, it does more harm than good. (NY Times)
- Welcome to Brazil, Where a Food Revolution Is Changing the Way People Eat <<This is very encouraging, and I hope the trend continues. (The Nation)
- Roasted Tomato Salad Recipe <<Because summertime. (101 Cookbooks)
What inspired you this week?
So glad these roundups (and you) are back! Missed this Friday ritual.
I do love David Chang. We got familiar with him on “Mind of a Chef,” all of whose episodes were worth watching.
About salads, I don’t understand their bad rap. It’s true that most restaurants serve only the most dispirited versions–same with soup–but a good salad is a wonderful thing, and something I’m happy to make a whole meal on.
I enjoy the variety of articles in the Love of Food posts. So much fun. I’ve only been reading Summer Tomato for a little over a week or two now, but now I’ve noticed more and more how much labels are assigned to certain foods, like salads are healthy but also boring or too much trouble. I’ve been adding vegetables to the meals I cook, including some pretty delicious salads, so I don’t think salads deserve such a bad rap. I made the Summer Quinoa Salad, for instance. It was delicious, filling and fun. I had never had quinoa before. I love love loved it. I’ve been realizing that as for salads, anything goes and so far it’s all delicious. I think an open mind is the best dressing.
Thanks Darya Rose, Your links are very informative. I loved your article.
