10 Hottest Women in the Food Industry
There is just something sexy about a woman who takes big, reckless, greedy bites out of life; a woman who isn’t afraid of fire, or knives, or licking her fingers. And all ten of these female chefs, food critics, bloggers, and television personalities fit these criteria. They are all leaders in their field, accomplished professionals who also happen to be fantastically attractive. Each of these women vibrates with passion, style, and authority. And we love them for it.

Homemade Pasta Sauce
Homemade Pasta Sauce from Tim Hoven on Vimeo.
You saw the pictures of the ripening tomatoes. Here is a short video about what we did with some of those tomatoes.
Homemade pasta sauce made with home-grown organic tomatoes on our home-grown certified organic ground beef.
I love the taste of fresh homemade food.
20 Food Rules by Michael Pollan
Michael Pollan, author of In Defense of Food, asked readers for advice on the rules they use when choosing their food. 2500 submissions later, Pollan made his list of his favorite 20 food rules.
As a meat producer,the vegetarian responses always beg me for comment. Usually, I don’t say anything. I understand vegetarians reasons for avoiding meat protein; I just disagree with their reasoning.
The vegetarian food rule for today?
‘Don’t eat anything you wouldn’t kill yourself.”
I do live by that rule. I do not have a problem killing things and eating them. I hope you do not find me insensitive by saying that. We are part of a larger ecosystem that most of us want do not want to believe in. The reality of the harshness of life makes us uncomfortable. Nature is nasty and very unforgiving. I am in my warm house and outside my walls it is cold and snowing. But if I was stuck out there overnight, only a mere 20 feet from where I now sit, and froze to death, the first animal that found me would lick the carcass seeing if there was something to eat on me, even herbivores like cattle or deer. That is how nature works. Eat or be eaten. Yes, it is harsh. It isn’t nice. Welcome to reality.

Eat Local Grown Food All Year Round
From Mother Earth News
I have been reading Mother Earth News for over a decade now. This is a good little article about storing of food.
I would like to double vote on the freezer. To our family, it is the easiest home food storage tool.
That Beef? Comments on “Those Beets?”
“Why is Alberta beef bought at the farmers’ market philosophically superior to–and way more expensive than–Alberta beef bought at bigger grocery stores, which employ way more Albertans? If I can buy Alberta chicken processed by an Alberta plant sold at the Superstore for far less than I can at a cutesy booth, why wouldn’t I? I don’t care if it’s hand plucked, and I don’t think the fowl does, either. A dead duck is a dead duck.”
Your choice matters.
Every choice adds up and so every choice matters.
Is a dead duck just a dead duck? Is a t-bone always a t-bone?
Let’s face it. Organic locally grown food is more expensive than imported non-organically grown food.
Cheap food is cheap for a reason. It has less value in it.
Remember the baby food that had been imported from China a few months ago. Baby food is baby food, right? Except for the melamine that add been added to keep costs down.
Let’s import all our veggies from Mexico. Lettuce is lettuce, right? Except for the e-coli that was found on the imported lettuce from Mexico where they use raw human sewage to fertilize the crops (not always but sometimes… because it so so much cheaper than using properly prepared compost).
Have you ever spoke to someone who toured agricultural production sites in China? I hesitate to call them farms. I know people who have sworn off eating ANYTHING that comes out of China because they have seen how it is grown.
Cheap food is cheap for a reason.
I care passionately about the food that I grow. I feed my kids the food that I grow. I put my name (literally) on everything that I grow. Does the extra work I do to make sure that the beef on your plate is the very best beef I can grow make it cost a little more?
Yes it does.
But it still is cheaper than melamine in your baby food, ecoli in your lettuce, and who know what in your Chinese produce. That stuff is expensive because it can cost you everything.
