If you’ve read Michael Pollan and you’ve seen FOOD, INC., chances are you’re not super-sizing your meals or expecting to find a movie-marketing doo-dad in your lunchbox.

However, chances are you still have many friends and family members convinced “organic” is just a Madison Avenue buzzword to bilk city-slickers out of a few extra bucks. And, sometimes they’re right. Nevertheless, these folks remain transfixed with trans-fats, stuffing themselves with “food-like substances” that have shelf lives longer than the halflife of Plutonium 239. My mantra: if it won’t rot, don’t eat it.

So, how do we introduce the issues surrounding organic food and farming? Consider this: EAT ME That’s the title of The Warren Report’s half-hour special showcasing the documentary, THE REAL DIRT ON FARMER JOHN as well as interviews with the movie’s eponymous subject, author Nina Planck (Real Food: What to Eat and Why) and Colin McCrate, founder of The Seattle Urban Farm Company. Together, they use facts, fun and implosion therapy to get me over my fear of dirt and my melon-picking ignorance.

Watch the entire show, EAT ME, for yourself, for FREE, on-line now — via iTunes, Libsyn or The Warren Report. Then, share with friends who still believe the tip of the food pyramid is comprised of Ding Dongs and Pixy Stix.

Bon appetit!

Commitment to the Earth and to their community got Ken Wetherell, Neil Robinson and Kwah Waadabi (ardent members at Portland, Oregon’s People’s Food Co-op) thinking about new ways to move people and their things. So they created Portland Pedal Power (PPP), a bicycle delivery service that caters to customers of the ecologically responsible People’s Food Co-op.

One happy customer, the new mother of a newborn baby, ordered PPP’s combined shopping/delivery service making those first days much easier. Fees range from free to $10, depending on location. PPP is working on building delivery agreements with local businesses and establishing a riders network.

For more information contact PPP’s voice mail service at 503-296-2120. You can also find them at People’s Co-op.

Pedal on to sustainability!

Note: I must add that I am the very proud younger sister of the brilliant Earth-loving Ken.
