Groupon For Greenies

2010-12-05T21:08:00.000-08:00

Groupon's pretty great for eco-bargain hunters like us-- in New York City, it has offered discounts on the likes of American Apparel, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, andGustOrganics (as pictured above.) Not all of the sales stem from sustainable sources, however. The random helicopter tour, sushi restaurant or Gap discount often lands in my inbox. Delete.MindBodyGreen Deals on the

THE FUTURE OF FOOD offers an in-depth investigation into the disturbing truth behind the unlabeled, patented, genetically engineered foods that have quietly filled U.S. grocery store shelves for the past decade.

Fast Food Does Not Decay

2010-09-13T12:31:00.000-07:00

This is amazing! Check out the food below it has not changed. Things that are made from organic material age and decay, especially when they stop being alive. A piece of home-baked bread, say, left on your kitchen counter, will get moldy relatively fast. Lord knows what some ground beef would smell like after a week. But the artist Sally Davies has been photographing one McDonald's

The Power of Peanut Butter

2010-08-30T18:49:00.000-07:00

Good Day Revolutionaries! We have been on a bit of a Peanut butter kick lately. It tastes great and easy to use on almost anything. Not many people think of peanut butter as a healthy food, owing to the high caloric content and the amount of fat that is found in commercial peanut butter products. However, there is a surprising amount of

Do You Have Ultra Endurance?

2010-08-23T15:51:00.000-07:00

Good Day Revolutionaries! We recently asked ourselves the question of how far could our bodies go. In other words, what level of extreme endurance were we capable of? Some of the Revolution Greens crew has taken a big interest in Triathlons and Marathons. We started out by just wanting to stay in shape and get our competitive juices flowing. At first it seemed

We are back! We have had a great few weeks. We were just in Boston doing some exploring. One thing we found amazing was the amount of farmers markets spread throughout the city. We counted no less than four taking place on the same day. The markets were packed with locals and tourists alike tasting food directly from the farms of New England. Everyone was

The 37 Ingredients In A Twinkie

2010-06-21T17:47:00.000-07:00

Hello Revolutionaries. Check out this cool project we found with our friends at Good Magazine. A popular rule of thumb among fans of healthy food is that the fewer ingredients there are in something, better it is for you. With a remarkable 37 or so ingredients, many of which are polysyllabic chemical compounds, Twinkies would seem to embody the antithesis of that rule.The

Are Humans Herbivores??

2010-04-26T19:42:00.000-07:00

Good Day Revolutionaries! Today we found ourselves doubting if humans should be eating meat. We got into a nice debate today about how humans should eat to benefit their bodies best. Most of us on this planet are Omnivores(we eat both meat and veggies). Some people are vegetarian and others have attempted to eat only meat, but that has not gone very well. We were

Are You Eating Horse? You Might Be Soon

2010-04-23T08:32:00.000-07:00

This does not look good! In some parts of the world horse is considered a delicacy. Here in the USA it is illegal to slaughter horses for use in food. That looks like it might be changing. On April 8, a subcommittee in the Tennessee House approved a horse slaughter bill 7-6. A week earlier, the Missouri House approved 91-61 bill HR1741. The bill hasn't yet been scheduled

A DOUBLE HECK NO, TO THE DOUBLE DOWN

2010-04-14T17:41:00.000-07:00

How high was the guy who created the Double Down for KFC. We got our hands on one and check out the picture above. Why would any one want to put that in their bodies. We bet we could actually hear someone getting fatter while they eat it. In all seriousness it looks like someone gave a kindergarten class a bunch of left overs and asked them to make something. Sheesh
