Do something about Monsanto RIGHT NOW!
They are trying to slip something into the next Farm Bill that will nullify the states' ability to pass GMO labeling laws. Go sign the petition! Don't let these people take away our right to know what we are putting into our bodies. http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/congress-dont-pass-a?source=s.icn.em.mt&r_by=7840004

Many legislative issues regarding food/agriculture!
As someone who likes to eat clean, I feel like I have a responsibility to try to stay on top of what is going on that might affect the farmers that grow the food my family eats. There is a lot going on in the legislative arena--many many things that Big AG wants to sweep under the rug before congress takes it's summer…

Clean Eating magazine!
Just have to say :) I got my new clean eating magazine in the mail and it had a code for a free ebook smoothie from a raw company (which after I'm done with my GNC brand I will see if I can purchase some of theirs) and alternate. But this month's looking mighty yummy!

rate my diary - % clean
ok yall, I'm probably never going to go 100% clean, but I am interested in peoples thoughts of my diet at this point. I'm not seeking compliments, I don't need to be told I'm special, just wanna know what people think, and any additions/subtractions you can think of. I suppose my goal is to get my protein sources to 90-95%…

Clean for 3 weeks, little results
SO instead of using our tax refund to buy nutri system or Medifast, I decided eating clean was the healthiest choice I could make. I bought the book, and stocked up. Luckily I don't work out of the home so I was able to take the time to read and figure out what the heck to eat, in what combination.... and google all kinds…

Think this is clean??
We live in Michigan, and with the gorgeous spring weather, we decided to open up our pool. If not for swimming ( no heater), to serve as a really awesome water feature for the tree frogs to enjoy! On the bottom of the deep end lay dozens and dozens of earth worms, some of which were still alive. Great! I scooped them out…

Packing a Cooler for Clean Eating on the go
I have just started doing this the past month or so. It still seems a little strange sometimes. If I'm with people at a lunch meeting they think the food I'm eating is available for every one. They ask where they can get some. If people know it's my food they talk about it. I pack a wonderful fresh food lunch. I do it…

My Eat Clean tools... what are yours?
I'd really like more places for support with Eating Clean. I rely heavily on Tosca Reno's book Recharged and her first cookbook. I follow the menus too from her website and from her magazine.

How did you get into clean eating?
I was wondering what prompted others to change to clean eating. For my family it was not because of anything I had read or allergies. It was simply because I love to eat. This prompted me to cook. I hate spending money on restaurant food when I can make something just as good in my own kitchen for a fraction of the cost.…
