About this Blog

Welcome! Thanks for checking out On Food Stamps.

Right now, the nation is abuzz with issues relating to health care and climate change, and at the same time the economic recession has (thankfully) brought many of us to look closer at the basic elements of our well-being.

I think that food - how we produce, where we buy it, how we eat it, our emotional relationship to it, and the culture surrounding it - is a huge part of the major progressive change our nation so badly needs. I think that if we improve the American food system, we could really do a lot to solve many of our environmental and health care concerns. This blog is my offering towards a better world through better food culture in America.

While my Food Stamp Challenge project has come to an end, I still post periodically on anything and everything dealing with food. You can see what I learned in my Food Stamp Challenge by reading the Greatest Hits posts linked to the right side of the page.

I'm glad you arrived at this page. You can support my efforts by reading the Blog, passing it on to friends, or by sending me recipes or stories from your own efforts to "lead a meal time revolution". You can also follow me on Twitter. If you want to contact me directly, send a Twitter message!

Stay Hungry,

Julie

Are you drinking the pounds?


Several months ago I posted about this jarring public health ad campaign.

It shows a bottle of soda being poured into a glass. As the soda pours out it turns into human fat. The poster asks the viewer: "Are you drinking yourself fat?"

Over the holidays I was in New York and got to see the ad for myself.

What do you think of this ad?
Does it gross you out enough to put you off soda?
