Is nothing sacred? Someday your chocolate may come from genetically modified cocoa.
Jordan Rubin's PWA Blog By Jordan Rubin on 7/23/2008 1:58 PM
Saturday, June 21: I’ve written extensively about the dangers of eating foods made from genetically modified (GMO) crops. You may not be aware of this, but a revolution is taking place in agribusiness, and it’s planting our nation’s breadbasket with genetically modified wheat, corn, and soybeans, which, in my book, is not kosher. When scientists add a gene to a food that wasn’t originally part of that food, that changes the DNA character of the crop.

Food riots have broken out in Haiti, El Salvador, Egypt, and India, and that might open the door to more genetically modified crops.

Wednesday, June 18: In El Salvador recently, sky-high food prices for staples like corn led to women taking to the streets and banging their pots and pans, shouting, “We are hungry!”

Maybe the Perfect Weight America tour bus can stop at the U.S. Congress cafeteria the next time we pass by Washington, D.C.

Monday, June 16: I try to stay away from partisan politics as far as I can, but apparently Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House, has done a good number on the Congressional cafeteria located in the basement of the House’s Longworth Office Building on the south side of Capital Hill.

The Glass Packaging Institute reports a surge in demand for glass baby bottles, and Babies R Us says they’re selling five times the number of glass bottles as they did a year ago.

Saturday, June 14: That’s great news because Nicki and I have chosen to feed our two infants with glass baby bottles, and we hope millions of young parents are following in our footsteps. Alexis and Samuel gulp down their homemade infant formula (I’ll share the recipe at the end of this blog) from glass baby bottles, not plastic bottles made with bisphenol A, or BPA.

How ship-shape and clean is your cruise ship this summer?
Jordan Rubin's PWA Blog By Jordan Rubin on 7/16/2008 9:05 AM
Thursday, June 12: We hear a lot about the cruise line industry in South Florida since we call ourselves “The Cruise Ship Capital of the World.” Millions of passengers fly in each year and board humongous ships in the Fort Lauderdale and Miami ports of call.

You know that “new shower curtain smell”? You could be breathing in toxins.
Jordan Rubin's PWA Blog By Jordan Rubin on 7/3/2008 8:38 AM
Monday, June 10: Have you done any spring cleaning lately? Did you replace that old moldy shower curtain for a new one purchased at your local Target or Bed, Bath & Beyond?

I think I found the perfect airline for Perfect Weight America.
Jordan Rubin's PWA Blog By Jordan Rubin on 7/2/2008 1:38 PM
Sunday, June 8: With the nation’s airlines catching a lot of turbulence for charging to check a bag or change a reservation, but you knew this was where we were headed—the first airline to charge you according to your weight.

Consumers will cut their driving down before they cut back on what they eat.
Jordan Rubin's PWA Blog By Jordan Rubin on 7/1/2008 9:25 AM
Saturday, June 7: That’s the gist of a new Reuters/Zogby poll showing that people would rather let their car sit in the driveway than cut down on eating their favorite foods. When I see a news story say “favorite foods,” I’m thinking fried chicken, double-deluxe cheeseburgers, mountains of fries, and ice cream extravaganzas. It seems like very few are interested in cutting back there, so it’s no wonder why we’re not at our Perfect Weight.

Not only are organic foods tastier, but they also pack more nutritional punch when they arrive on your plate or your bowl.
Jordan Rubin's PWA Blog By Jordan Rubin on 6/30/2008 8:44 AM
Thursday, June 5: Here’s something that’ll interest you: The Journal of Applied Nutrition, over a two-year period, purchased both organically and conventionally grown apples, potatoes, pears, wheat, and sweet corn in the western suburbs of Chicago and analyzed these foods for their mineral contents. Four to fifteen samples were taken for each food group.

Just as I have a burden to help people take weight off their bodies, I have a burden to do my part to take weight off the planet.
Jordan Rubin's PWA Blog By Jordan Rubin on 6/27/2008 8:43 AM
Monday, June 2: Everyone has become aware of the environmental challenges lying ahead of us because of global warming. While there’s scientific disagreement behind the root causes of global warming—and I’m not taking sides on this contentious issue—the fact remains that climate changes are happening right before our eyes. I haven’t forgotten how hot the summer of 2005 was—the hottest year on record—or the buffeting our home took when Hurricane Wilma roared through South Florida. We are all responsible for climate change when we turn on the air conditioning in our homes, drive our cars to work, school, and errands, take an airline flight, and consume goods and services.
