    This is food-related and at the same time, it's also a book-related discussion: has anyone here read "In Defense of Food" by Michael Pollan? It's the first book I've ever read that's only about food, but there were a lot of interesting points in there. Here are a few highlights:

    1.) Eat food, not too much, mostly plants. - It's also the first line of the book, so these words will either be an interesting attention-getter or a turn-off for people who are thinking this book is trying to convert them to vegetarianism. Basically, argues Pollan, Americans are eating too much meat and the extra meat is taking the place that larger portions of vegetables used to occupy on the dinner table.

    2.) When shopping at the supermarket, avoid the middle aisles if you want to evade processed, fatty foods
    ... - stick to the side walls of the supermarket where they have things like produce and fruits. At a lot of grocery stores, the produce section is literally right there at the entrance (on purpose? I think so!), and so many people just pass it by for the Hamburger Helper and Rice-a-roni aisle!

    3.) Don't buy anything at the grocery store that your great-grandmother wouldn't recognize as food! (This one made me laugh, but I really did think about that for a while.)

    He mentioned going to Farmer's Markets to get the best organic or close to organic produce, as well as mentioning some type of box of in-season veggies that people can order, although I've forgotten what it was called at the moment.

    Anybody read this book/have something to say?

    Nature's Promise Upside Down Organic Ketchup

    I was so happy to find this in my local Stop & Shop. Every single "regular" brand of ketchup is drowning in high fructose corn syrup. Ick! This is just nice ketchup, the way everybody used to make it.

    Nature's Promise Organic Baby Cut Carrots

    Crispy, easy, healthy, delicious... what more do you want? I eat about half a bag every day, preferably with baba ganoush. Yum!

    Batter Blaster Pancake & Waffle, Original Batter

    For all of you organic-loving, high-fructose-corn-syrup-hating, healthy-eating people like me, who are plain ol' jealous that all the "cool" food has very lame ingredients, this one's for you!

    Batter Blaster. This is the funnest food product I have come across in ages (in the refrigerated section near the pudding and whipped cream). Organic batter in an aerosol can, that makes seriously fluffy and delicious pancakes or waffles with virtually no mess to clean up and no unused batter to throw away.

    Just think of all the terrific shapes and letters you can make when the batter is in a can, and you just "point and blast" to draw, write, or whatever. I discovered Batter Blaster this morning, while grocery shopping, and came right home to try it out. It's super cool.

    Tips: The can says
    ... heat your griddle on medium-high. On my electric range, that was too hot. You also need spray oil for your griddle. I used Stop & Shop's Nature's Promise brand organic vegetable oil spray.
