If school cafeterias had salad bars, would children be more likely
to eat their greens? According to Whole Foods Market, implementing
a salad bar in school is one of the fastest ways to create fresh
food access to students. That’s why
they’re sponsoring The Great American Salad Bar
Project – a nationwide initiative that will
provide healthy salad bars to at least one school in the
communities surrounding each of their stores in the U.S. Makes
sense, but will kids want to eat salad when things like pizza,
French fries, and ice cream are so easily within reach? With
American youngsters at greater obesity-related risks than ever
before, it may very well be worth finding out. And, since

Agriculture (CSA) programs are getting more and more common. Rather
than head to the grocery store for your weekly produce fix, you
sign on to support a local farmer for the season and in return you
get a fresh box of local, often organic produce each week. CSAs are
a great way to reduce your food miles and support the local economy
while filling your veggie drawer with healthy eats. Our CSA basket
arrives on Wednesdays, which can make it a little tricky to plan
for. Weekends are traditionally when we head to the grocery store
to stock our kitchen, so this mid-week arrival sort of throws
things off. Some other folks have mentioned a similar challenge
with CSA deliveries. Since you don't know what you're going to get,

Environmental awareness and sustainability have become the
biggest trends in recent years. Many furniture manufacturers and
designers are making the best use of our resources in a responsible
way. One of the most eco-friendly materials on the market is teak.
Teak wood is often used when making garden and indoor furniture and
in boat building, because it has its own natural oil that makes the
wood very resistant. Reclaimed teak is wood is simply teak that has
been harvested from bridges, wharfs, jetties and structural beams
in housing. The timber is then carefully selected and restored
resulting in a rich mature aged patina, which is extremely durable
and less likely to shrink or crack. Because it is being used again,
it reduces the felling of trees, and puts existing materials to ...
