Why this rant about processed foods?
Humans have been processing their food in various ways for thousands of years, right? Freezing, drying, preserving and canning come to mind.

Question for Savvy Vegetarian:
Dear Judith, I discovered your website quite a while ago, and have recently stumbled across it again. I love the recipes, and this advice blog is great. I’ve been vegetarian at least twice before, and always fell back into the meat eating pattern. I now have cut meat out of my lifestyle [...]

What – and how – does a busy, working, veganish Mom feed her ovo-vegetarian kids?
I cook twice a day; breakfast and a meal that does double duty as lunch and dinner. When I cook beans, I make extra for future meals. Weekday lunches have to be foods that hold up well in a lunch box. I [...]
