KYF #026: Keeping Up the Traditional Kitchen While Mom’s Traveling and the Family Is At Home

family-kids

In this episode of Know Your Food with Wardee, I share how my family and I are preparing for my week-long trip to Arizona. I’m leaving and they’re staying behind, but that doesn’t mean things will stand still. They will be keeping our traditional kitchen alive. We’re brushing up on their kitchen skills and revisiting how to keep the ferments and other traditional foods going. And for my part, I’m packing some of my favorite traditional foods and will get some when I get there — to balance any lack in conference food. Also in this episode, I take two listener questions: what’s the best diet for seasonal allergies and how to bake light and fluffy homemade bread.

KYF #025: They Want to Hide Toxic Sweeteners In Your Child’s School Milk

Toxic Sweeteners in School Milk

The dairy industry petitioned the FDA to add chemical sweeteners to a host of milk products, starting with flavored milks in schools — without adding nutrient content claims such as “reduced calorie” to the front of the carton. The dairy industry claims that visible nutrient content claims make children less likely to choose the milk products, and that removing the nutrient content claims will lead to more healthful eating practices and promote honest and fair dealings in the market. Does this sound healthful or honest to you? In this episode of Know Your Food with Wardee, my special guests — Sally Fallon Morrell, Kimberly Hartke, and Cathy Raymond — say no as well.
