To Peel or Not To Peel

Why you shouldn’t peel all your vegetables

In her book, Zero Waste Home, Bea Johnson reveals that she doesn’t own a vegetable peeler. As a result, “food prep is much faster, my compost output (peelings) is considerably reduced, and we benefit from the vitamins that are locked into vegetable skins.” Is it crazy not to peel your vegetables, or is Johnson on to something? It seems the latter is true.

We are too quick to peel out of habit, without taking the time to analyze whether or not a vegetable really needs it. Much of the time, it doesn’t! An article in the Washington Post backs the benefits that Johnson listed, stating that there’s far more fiber in the exteriors of vegetables and that a good wash is sufficient to clean a vegetable for eating.

As for dealing with pesticides, peeling isn’t as effective as some people may think considering pesticides penetrate from the outside and find their way into vegetables. So while there are some foods that need peeling, such as celery root, you have every reason to leave the peel on when you cook foods, such as carrots and potatoes. READ MORE

Master your body’s food cravings with intuitive eating

The problem with dieting is that once you get really hungry, it can be extremely challenging to ignore your body’s hunger signals and instead, follow the guidelines set by your diet. That’s where intuitive eating comes in. Intuitive eating is a philosophy that makes you the expert of your body and its hunger signals as a means of promoting a healthier attitude towards food and body image. At its core, the idea is that you should eat only when you’re hungry and stop when you’re full. When compared to people on regular diets, research has shown that people who use intuitive eating are far more likely to stick to healthy habits and keep practicing behavioral changes. Although intuitive eating should be, as the name suggests, intuitive, for many people it’s not, which means you have to relearn how to trust your body in order to eat intuitively. To do that, you need to distinguish between physical and emotional hunger. Physical hunger is the biological urge that you feel to replenish nutrients. It builds gradually, has different signals such as a growling stomach, and is satisfied when you eat any food. Emotional hunger, on the other hand, is driven by emotional need. Sadness, loneliness, and boredom are some of the feelings that can create cravings for food, often comfort foods. Eating then causes guilt and self-hatred. Once you’ve distinguished between these two types of hunger, you’re one step closer to understanding your hunger signals and becoming a more intuitive eater. To take the following step, have a look here at the 10 key principles of intuitive eating. READ MORE

Would you feed your pet an insect based kibble?

insect based pet food Insect-based pet food: a more sustainable choice to feed your animal friend

The environmental impact of our furry family members is bigger than you might think. There are over 500 million pet cats and dogs in the world which are responsible for eating an estimated 20 percent of the world’s fish and meat – that equates to nearly 64 million tons of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere annually. With that being said, could insect-based pet food be the answer? In a first for the UK, pet food brand Yora is now offering what it claims to be “the world’s most sustainable pet food” which uses grubs as its primary protein source. The insects are raised on a special mix of clean recycled vegetable waste that would otherwise go uneaten, and they’re incredibly quick and efficient at converting this food into useful fats, proteins, and minerals. The company also claims that these grubs need just 2 percent of the land and 4 percent of the water to produce each kilogram of protein, meaning they generate 96 percent fewer greenhouse emissions than farmed meat or fish. Perhaps now, with such sustainable alternatives to pet food, owners can make more informed, ethical decisions when it comes to the well-being of their animal companions and that of our planet.    READ MORE

Research on the nutrition of your favorite foods is not what it seems Research on the nutrition of your favorite foods is not what it seems

Our beliefs about how nutritious products are being increasingly shaped by scientific research dreamed up and paid for by major food companies. Borrowing a dirty tactic from the tobacco industry, the food industry has distorted science by paying for research that makes erroneous claims like that chocolate helps fight diabetes. Have a look here to see how nutrition research has become deeply biased by food companies. READ MORE
