Golden and Red Beets, Apple, Cara Cara and Blue Cheese Salad. If your mouth is watering, then Eat More Plants is the right site for you. Welcome to our first post! Come along as we seek the best information on healthier eating and living. We follow in the steps of many great news aggregate and social action ecology sites such as TreeHugger. The photo above comes from a favorite photography site of mine, FoodPornDaily, that takes a particular love for what’s on our plates.

Want to get your no-dig garden started? Follow these easy instructions.

Note: This is a great opportunity to apply your compost!

November 9, 2010

“In 20 years chocolate will be like caviar. It will become so rare and so expensive that the average Joe just won’t be able to afford it.” Changing weather patterns are likely to seriously endanger cultivation of cocoa trees over the coming decades, possibly making chocolate as expensive as gold. Unlike many quickly producing and [...]
