I understand to a certain extent.

Way too many. Compared to Denmark and Sweden, I think Norway wins. Oh well..

Right now I'm carrying around Clinique's Bottom Lash Mascara, a small pot of Make Up For Ever High Definition Powder, Kiehl's No-Shine Moisturizing Lip Balm, Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in Perversion and Stray Dog, and individually packaged Q-tips for fixing/blending on the go.

Listography, style.com, Instagram, TextTwixt. And the Paris Metro app is the best invention ever.

I hate papaya! So much. Does it taste like the smell of garbage to anyone else? But I love avocado. My favorite way to eat it right now is in a salad with curly kale, garbanzo beans, cherry tomatoes, and an apple cider vinegar/maple syrup dressing.

Sure, I never measure out the ingredients or anything but it's a combination of olive oil, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, garlic, and sea salt.

I love her blog..I've tried a few things and they were all really good. Except her hummus recipe has too much tahini. I recommend the breakfast quinoa, granola, avocado terrine, overnight oats, and avocado and lime salad. And I'm now obsessed with chia seeds because of her..I even bring them with me when I travel. Somehow haven't had issues in customs with them yet.

I make my own. I don't really go by recipes, I look at them just to get ideas for ingredients...what I do is mostly experimentation and using what I have in the kitchen at the moment. I'm sure everyone has different ideals for proportions but here's what I like to use in different combinations: white peaches, almond extract, mango, raspberries, swiss chard, coconut water, filtered tap water, chia seeds, almond butter, kale, spinach, any kind of lettuce, romaine, butter lettuce, hemp protein powder, strawberries, bananas, kiwi, shredded coconut, almond milk, steel cut oatmeal, watermelon, frisee, coconut milk yogurt, avocado, blueberries, and ginger. There's an app called Green Smoothies that's somewhat useful too.

I seriously don't know. When I revived my blog, I did it because such blogs didn't exist.. Read this post by trois-douze, everything she writes is spot on: http://trois-douze.blogspot.com/2011/08/change-is-gonna-come.html

It's so funny how many food questions I get..I hope no one thinks I'm anything close to a nutritionist or guru or something. Actually I'm sure they don't so never mind. Umm here are my staples, mostly everything is organic: spinach, kale, Greek yogurt, raspberries or strawberries, wheat germ, tomato juice, peanut butter, almond butter, hummus, Sir Kensington ketchup, marmalade, coconut milk, cucumbers, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, overnight oats, Herdez salsa, and lingonberry jam.

The amount of trust you have to have in every person who handled the meat from the point of birthing the animal (well actually even before that) to getting it to a store near you is staggering. Not to mention what is actually even more important, the choices made by farmers controlled by large corporations who have zero interest in your ongoing welfare. That trust is something I will never be able to get back now that I know. Thinking of the conditions that slaughterhouses and chicken coops are kept in makes me shudder. But not as much as seemingly pure evil that created the system that feeds America today.

Humans aren't even designed to eat meat. We don't have the teeth, the intestines, or the stomach acid to do so properly. Human intestines are so much longer than those of actual carnivores that consumed meat will begin decaying while still in your body.

Those are a couple reasons.

I'm much more aware of what I eat these days, gone are the days when I trusted the FDA for anything remotely true. I don't eat meat and have pretty much cut out fish...focus is on organic foods, variety of produce, and consuming things in as close to their natural state as possible. Which means eating out is tricky and a lot of farmers markets and Whole Foods trips. Some of the things I've been loving lately - kale (especially with cranberries, pecans, and my own dressing I make), muesli (organic oats, almond milk, Amazing Grass chocolate protein powder, shredded coconut, chia seeds), artichokes with hummus, orange/carrot/ginger/lemon juice, raspberry smoothies (organic frozen raspberries, flaxseed, acai juice, pomegranate juice, almond milk, and 0% Greek yogurt), loose leaf oolong tea, quinoa with whatever vegetables are in season, roasted flavored seaweed, arugula/beet salad, spinach smoothies (baby spinach, raw almonds, frozen bananas, flaxseed, almond milk), coconut water with pulp, black bean/avocado salad...I dunno I can't think anymore. I mean I still have things I shouldn't as well - kettle corn, iced lattes, random unavoidable crap especially while traveling. But the more whoe foods you eat, the less appealing unhealthy things become. Don't be scared of 'good fats' and always avoid processed when possible. There are a lot of bullets to dodge when making food choices but the more you know about junk food the less inclined you'll be to eat it. If you're not bored to death by this response, try reading In Defense of Food, watching Food Inc., learning about GMOs, Monsanto, slaughterhouse conditions, Roundup, bottled water being kind of a joke...list goes on. It's all very depressing but if we were magically all able to support local and organic, all these fucked up corporations would suffer immensely.
