There is heated debate about whether this was so in more traditional societies – I haven’t seen any answer convincing enough to allow me to weigh in on any side of the issue. (Note: please allow me to clarify that “seems” means [...]

Yes, this week we’re eating a lot of winter squashes. But they are inexpensive and in season so I’m serving them. Avocados have also been on perpetual sale, we must be getting a lot trucked in. This week I’m experimenting with a suggestion of Dr. Pottenger’s, which is to serve a green salad and two [...]

More on eating well! During pregnancy (and lactation and preconception) you need to be eating a really nutrient-dense diet. Children also need lots of nutrition packed into all their meals – in fact, there’s not much room for empty calories. So even if you’re not dieting (don’t diet when you’re pregnant or nursing an infant!) [...]
Now this has got to be the best news I’ve heard lately. This woman is totally selfless in a way that not many people ever are nowadays. Breastfeeding mother saves lives! There are many, many benefits to breastfeeding – and there are some you would never think of. You can also read Christine’s story to [...]
