  • Clif Bar's are awesome!

    Probably the best tasting food/energy bar out there.  I have them quite often for breakfast while at work.
    They look funky, but the taste is far above any other bar out there.On Clif Bar's husband-and-wife CEO team talk about staying independent in a Big Organic world posted 1 year, 2 months ago 4 Responses

  • Certified Humane?!?

    "I also look for the Certified Humane label, which means that animal welfare was kept in mind. Failing these options, I opt for the tofu, which brings me to your final question about whether or not you'd be better off without meat."
    ----------

    Ah yes, Certified Humane... until they are brutally executed.  Very humane!

    Go vegetarian... or even vegan if you can do without any dairy products.  
    Or at the very least reduce meat to no more than one or two meals a week.  Which in reality most Americans should do, not only for the environment, but also for their health.On What's so eco about all those eco-meat labels? posted 1 year, 2 months ago 15 Responses

  • I dont get this article

    Just like many of the people's comments, this is a ridiculous article to post on Grist.

    I appreciate that the chef uses the "whole" animal... but why does he have to use any of the animal?!?!

    Someone mentioned that Grist should be posting articles of people that were meat eaters and went vegetarian or vegan.  That is absolutely correct!

    Plain and simple, this is a site about environmentalism.  Meat eating is one of the most environmentally destructive things out there.  Because of the population of our planet, small "organic" animal farms will forever barely exist (at least in the US) and heavily polluting industrial farms will continue to expand.  Besides the fact that Pigs are one of the smartest of "farmed" animals!  
    Not that it is much better, but couldn't the guy at least discuss chickens or fish, instead of pigs?!?

    The guy obviously lacked enough backbone to stand up to his instructor chef.  With a little education on animal free foods (or at least meat-free) he could have shown his instructor a thing or two about veggie cuisine!

    Grist should focus these types of articles and interviews on chef's or celebrities that converted to vegetarian or vegan.  There are hundreds of famous people (celebrities that are often looked highly upon by many fans and critics) that could help spread the message of veggie-ness to the rest of the population.

    This has to be the most disappointing article I have seen in the 2 1/2 years or so I have been reading Grist.

  • why not corn bottles?

    i dont understand why they would give up plastic to go to glass, when there is a much better option available!  corn "plastic"!
    it resembles plastic in appearance and texture, but does not have the harmful plastic chemicals nor the "plastic" aftertaste in the beverage.  instead it is made with 100% biodegradable corn!

    i am not 100% sure they make corn baby bottles.  but there are corn bottles you can buy, along with at least one bottled water company (located here in Colorado) called BIOTA that bottles their water in 100% corn bottles.On Heart of Glass posted 2 years, 7 months ago 1 Response
