I Heart Nestle

I'm having a crazy week, grading student papers and writing some of my own for school. Real quick, allow me to rep one of my all time favorite nutritionists, Marion Nestle. She eats meat. She admits that junk food is tasty. BUT she won't tell you that it's healthy for you to eat. Instead, she picks on the FDA.

Nestle's books analyze the way that the FDA works. She explains how food companies and the FDA work together to sell their products, often BS-ing labels and nutritional charts. In her latest blog, she discusses the FDA's recent claim that sugary breakfast cereals can BOOST YOUR IMMUNITY.

Redonkulous, I say.

Ever since I "met" her in Supersize Me, I have known she was a goddess amongst women.

Even if her name is that of a chocolate company.

I heard about that cereal thing too. Crazy!

I linked to your blog after reading a comment of yours on Pajiba and giggling about your name. I just spent an hour or so reading all posts back to the beginning.
I, too, have an exploding ass and look forward to reading (and learning) more about your adventures in vegan-land.
