Sustainable Table and The Meatrix are taking a Thanksgiving break! We will be back on the 30th, and can’t wait to hear about all of the sustainable shopping, cooking, and eating that happened. Have a wonderful holiday! ...

Sustainable Table We want to thank you all for commenting on our FB page, we appreciate your passion! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, we know we are a bit early, but we are taking next week off to enjoy ourselves. Cooking up a sustainable Thanksgiving dinner takes time and planning - lots of trips to the farmers market. Enjoy the bounty ...of the season... winter is quickly arriving! Many thanks to the farmers who make it possible for us to have sustainable food. And don't forget those who don't have access, please find a food panty and see what you can do to help them now and through out the year.

Sustainable Table So many unappetizing things mentioned in this article... "Grinders that do their own spot checks typically wait to test the
finished product after the trim is mixed, which prevents identifying
the source of contamination."

Citing public concern about the safety of ground beef, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand introduced legislation that would require companies to test for a deadly E. coli strain.

I would love to have a vegetarian Thanksgiving (this is Dawn by the way, not Sophy who usually writes on our wall and who probably wouldn't create a vegetarian Thanksgiving!), but I have friends and family who eat meat. Someone will make a turkey (a sustainable one!), and I will make a veggie main dish, and all the side will be veggie friendly...

Sustainable Table On a more positive note: 101 make ahead recipes by Mark Bittman. The instructions for each are about 2 - 3 lines, making them simple and doable - they all look delicious!

Almost all can be served at room temperature, although the soups should be reheated. Salting to taste is always a given. And if I don’t specify a temperature, “roast” or “bake” means a 375-degree oven.

Sustainable Table I'm obessed with staying away from pesticides, and it's just not easy to do! "What’s On My Food?" is a searchable database designed to make the public problem of pesticide exposure visible and more understandable. Check it out, there is an iPhone app too.

This is all so overwhelming... sometimes we get too much information - we can't stop eating! And I can't move to the middle of nowhere and grow my own food (though that is tempting!). We have to just keep making the best decisions that we can, spend our money on food that was raised as sustainably as it can be, and hopefully that will send a message to have more producers change their ways!

I’m embarrassed to admit it, but I just saw Food Inc. for the first time this weekend. It was informative and captivating, I happily stayed awake through the whole movie! And it’s rentable and NetFlixable too – if you haven’t seen it, rent it and share it with friends and family. It’s a...

Sustainable Table Tom Lawskey reports on how the lowering of the minimum wage
helped cause America's
obesity epidemic. Probably not surprising to most Sustainable Table facebook fans,
but many citizens would never make that correlation.

Tom Laskawy has written about the link between wages and obesity before -- with wages dropping since the 60s and healthy food prices always going up, people eat more unhealthy food. But now two economists ...

Yes, but the local, fresh, organic, etc food is generally more filling and nutritious, so it's really hard to eat too much of it!

our local coop has useful labels "grown locally" - of course, only found in the produce section. but now that we have a proliferation of CSAs and farm shares, i almost don't have to go to the store.

Hi GerneyLee:
Yep. Today I feel defeated. I had a real bad experience yesterday and I just read about the senate bill 510 and am discouraged. After all we/many organizations have said about local and sustainable foods - why are local organic farmers having to fight for protection under the very legislation that SHOULD BE protecting them. ... See MoreGGEEEEEZZZZZ are the people we'be put in place really that dumb? I know over the past couple of decades the US has really been dumbed down by the likes of reality tv and so forth - but my god - what sort of intellect does it take to understand? I just want to scream.

I really fear that only catastrophe will cause it to stop. I mean most people do not know what is going on while the eat non-food foor science foods, drink, contaminated water and breath polluted air, other's know and think it is normal and we who care are crazy left wing nuts...and of course there is the issue of money being made on all of this ... See Moredestruction of the natural world...so I am seeing that it will have to be self-limiting in how much the world can sustain it - i.e. climate change is a comin' tp put the brakes on...
