When I was in second grade, my teacher challenged her class to think of a food that was not created by sun and water and soil. “Potato Chips!”, I yelled.

Not so much!

Well, even most second graders know that potato chips come from potatoes which come Directly from the earth.

But in my nutrition-aware household, with a mom who was way ahead of her time, labeled somewhat derisively in those days as a “health nut”, potato chips were definitely Not food!

On Everything Earth’s Food page, you’ll find:

  • Recipes. Every month, I’ll feature recipes that use fresh in-season diary, produce, herbs or fish. No red meats need apply! Why no red meat? It’s bad for the environment, bad for human health… and really bad for the cow.
