Feed Me Like You Mean It RSS feed

My tagline: "cultivating health through food and action". A lot of people are constantly telling you what's good to eat, what's bad to eat, and so on. The problem is they're all giving you contradictory messages. My goal is to help you navigate the information and find something that works for you. Hence my title: "Health Strategist". I write about making real food and getting real food. Healthy local meats, vegetables, and dairy products, including raw milk. Pickling, preserving, and lactofermenting vegetables (and meats!). Avoiding foods that have health claims attached to them, but are in fact unhealthy.
