Fossil Food: Consuming Our Future | ecoliteracy.org

https://www.ecoliteracy.org/essays/fossil-food-consuming-our-future

Skip to main content. Fossil Food: Consuming Our Future. It takes about 10 fossil fuel calories to produce and transport each food calorie in the average American diet. I spend a fair amount of time thinking about how to reduce my family's dependence on energy, particularly energy derived from fossil fuels. Interestingly, the path to reducing the energy intensity of the food system dovetails nicely with the path to a healthy and nutritious diet. It also fits with educating our children for a future w...

https://www.ecoliteracy.org/essays/we-are-what-we-eat

Skip to main content. We Are What We Eat. Michael Pollan follows a bushel of corn through the industrial food system. What he discovers affects pretty much everything you eat.

Overproduction sooner or later leads to overconsumption, because we’re very good at figuring out how to turn surpluses into inexpensive, portable new products. Our cheap,...

http://virtualinireland.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html

Native Californian raising babies in Ireland. Tuesday, November 18, 2008. You say goodbye, and I say. Shh, don't let the kids hear you going out! Every week my husband leaves to work in Sligo for three days, and there are 3 ways to do this:. He gets up at 5:30 and makes a beeline for the early train/plane. We drive him to the train station at 6:00 the night before. He sneaks out of the house around 6 the night before and gets himself to the train. I can never win an argument. Links to this post.
