Health and Diet: July 2008 Archives

I am trying to wrap up stuff and kick this laptop for a well-deserved reboot. I spent a bit of the night trolling the Lifehacker Food category and ran into stuff I forgot I'd read and some new stuff to pass along. Indulge me as I pass along linkage.

I have not one, but TWO articles on healthy eating for at or under a buck (link 1, link 2).

From the New York Times food section the 11 best foods you (or I) am not eating enough of. Also, how to cut back on the meat eating and checking into farmer's markets in your area. Heck, even we have a couple here in the desert. Plus, some tips on how to cook your veggies.

Food to avoid buying organically, healing foods, and healthy supermarket foods.

Is YOUR Starbucks closing? Find out here.

To wrap up, a couple sites dedicated to rating beers. I know, very important knowledge, no? Here are RateBeer and BeerSuggest.

Slate covers the benefits of family dinners. Something to look forward to....

The BBC handles the touchy subject of children's birthday parties. Scary! Read it if just to help you figure out where all the landmines are.

Just for fun, some simple freezer treats.

It is Independence Day time. For those of you not being subjected to 110 degree heat, get outside and enjoy the long weekend.

Some quick picnic ideas for your weekend picnicking.

Personally, I'll be just trying to relax and alternately get the nursery set up a bit better. Wish me luck on both.

So, I've got a couple links related to dog and human food to pass along. I've had them forever and lost them in a browser crash. Thankfully I bothered to bookmark them and had forgotten about that until recently.

First off, National Geographic did a great visual on people food that is poisonous to dogs. Check it out here.

WikiHow also has a similar page on foods dogs should not have.

Be careful out there.
