WHAT WE'RE READING.
//// Links we are loving this week ////
ONE: If you haven't yet read this New York Times piece about the extraordinary science of addictive junk food - DO IT! Long read, but oh so fascinating. "As a culture, we’ve become upset by the tobacco companies advertising to children, but we sit idly by while the food companies do the very same thing. And we could make a claim that the toll taken on the public health by a poor diet rivals that taken by tobacco."TWO: Three women who we love, Coree, Robin, and our farmer-mama Cher have started a blog TOGETHER as The Radical Farmwives. These ladies are the real deal: hard working, homeschooling, homebirthing, inspiring....we can't wait to see what they have in store!THREE: A bunch of Hannah's friends from college just signed a record deal! Hooray Kopecky Family Band! To promote the wide release of their album, they are touring with some awesome people like Leagues, Milo Greene, and The Eastern Sea. Have a listen, and see if they are playing near you!FOUR: This video - Mountain Man vs. The Government - was sent to us by Ken of Narrow Ridge Farmstead. It's about a man who lives off-the-grid and runs a school, teaching people how to live simply. Now, the school is being shut down by the county for "code violations." Sad story.FIVE: All the more reason to drink natural wine! "A study of more than 300 French wines has found that only 10% of those tested were clean of any traces of chemicals used during vine treatments."- Hannah & Jesse.
