Oprah and Food 101

Oprah repeated her Food 101 this week in which Michael Polland shares his food rules(google: Michael Pollan's 'Food Rules': Tips for Eating Healthily and see the video). In fact Oprah said,"... we need a food revolution." And we were given great information on food nutrition. But the show did not answer 2 big problems. How do we find the time to plan, shop, cook and clean up every night of the week? And how about the expense of eating meat, fruits and vegetables? The answer to time, expense and food revolution is cooking co-op! Get with fellow co-oppers who want to cook more nutritious meals. Then google:Canyon Ranch recipes etc. and get started. In several of my cooking co-ops we had one meatless dinner every week. During the Depression, pot luck dinners were started as an answer to the problems of that day. During these challenging times, let's start a wave of cooking co-op and improve our lives with better nutrition and more table talk with family and friends at a fraction of the cost of fast food and eating out!
