Introducing: the One Dollar Diet Project

The One Dollar Diet Project

The One Dollar Diet Project

I just wanted to give a quick shout-out to Christopher Greenslate, of The One Dollar Diet Project. Christopher cut through the long tail of hate in the comments on the Time piece to say,

I appreciate all types of life-experiments, especially those related to food and economics. The fact that these folks are writing about them and sharing it with the public is great. Thanks for your efforts, and hopefully together we can keep this conversation about the cost of eating well going…

- Christopher Greenslate

Christopher’s approach is more rigorous than ours. He’s deeply involved in social justice projects and ethical eating in ways that, chances are, I’ll never be. He’s also been at it for a while. But, most importantly to this blogger, Christopher gets it. He gets the importance of a global dialog on food that is both deep in particulars, and wide in breadth of experience and approach. So, thanks, Christopher, for the comment, for bringing your blog to our attention, and for the good work you’re doing.

Check out The One Dollar Diet Project. It’s serious, it’s thoughtful, and it’s good reading.

Star Time for Emily, KMBC-style

Normally, this is where I’d go on about the mysterious bearings of garden slugs, Brooklyn food shops, and the Tour de France on my eating habits. But this day belongs to our own Emily Farris, who, in a flannel-clad coup-de-tube that even the dread Rachel Ray couldn’t have pulled off, made a Fifty Bucks a Week-approved breakfast omelet on Kansas City’s ABC/CNN/Hearst Media affiliate KMBC. That’s KMBC as in TV. That’s TV as in big-time. That’s big-time as in so much larger than life.
