The definition of the word organic: “Developing in a manner analogous to the natural growth and evolution characteristic of living organisms; arising as a natural outgrowth” (actually that’s definition 9, thanks Dictionary). What does this tell me? If food is organic it should be helping me live? Okay.
Soooo, what does it mean when the chicken [...]

Harvest Haven
Over the past couple of years, my family and I, have been making the switch over to organic products. However, I do agree with the argument made in the post, Organic my A$$, you do need to be careful in where you are buying the products from. However, I have found that Harvest Haven, a locally [...]

organic my A$$!
So again this week I am going to have to take the devils advocate side of this weeks topic-organic food. Today I am stating that the ”organic food” you find in your local supermarket is nothing but a bloody scam. The problem is that people buy organic products that look like they were made in a local hippie’s kitchen [...]

Not just for HIPPIES anymore*
Organic food is something that has been given a bad rap for many years. That is until lately. People used to think that organic food was something that was just for the hippies to grow in the gardens along side their weed. Now with all the worries about global warming people are becoming more environmentally [...]

Happy Cows Make Happy Steaks…
As Digitally Delicious takes a look at organic foods this week, I’m going to use this as an opportunity for a worthy ‘product placement’ so to speak for some local ranchers and friends of the family.
Trail’s End Ranch is a family-run business in Nanton, Alberta that has recently decided to make the switch to producing ethically [...]

I’m Lighter Than Last Week
This isn’t going to be much of a post. I’m currently recovering from having my gallbladder removed. That was my fad diet. I lost 5 pounds on the ‘take the gallbladder out’ diet.
It was quite an amazing thing to lose weight. Thanks surgery. No Atkins or anything of the sort. I do follow the cigarette diet [...]

The Blood Type Diet
OK, lets be serious, fad diets are always hard to follow and once you loose the weight, are you actually going to keep it off? I am not into dieting, but I came across this one and it is actually sounds kind of convincing and it might actually work. The Blood Type Diet was discovered and [...]

Fad Diets are Foolish
Fad diets prove how stupid humans really are, and how easily we are persuaded by illusions.
Why would anyone use a fad diet to loose weight fast when it is common knowledge that you will most likely gain the weight back just as fast as you lost it? It is also a mystery to me why [...]

The BACON diet*
So I bet you’re all trying to google “bacon diet” already. Well trust me you won’t find it. The Bacon diet is my families nickname for the low-carb diet. There is an interesting story to how that came about too.
About two years ago my sister got engaged. She was not interested in a long engagement, [...]

Still Crazy – Fad Diets Throughout History
I’ve never had much to do with fad diets. This is not to say I haven’t been intrigued by them. I just generally lack the willpower required to actually follow through, let alone go to the grocery store to buy all the ingredients. In high school I did try the cabbage soup diet. I got my [...]
