In this article, we take a look at the Academy Award nominated movie Food, Inc. as part of our 2010 Product and Service Review Series. Nominated for Best Documentary Feature, Food, Inc. examines the highly mechanized and industrialized food industry as it exists today.
Originally released in the USA on April 3, 2009, it took 6 years to bring this movie to the screen. Director/producer Robert Kenner has done a wonderful job taking the viewer from past to present in terms of the once personalized nature of food to the now profit-driven, corporate-controlled food supply.
In this article, I introduce you to another product as part of our 2010 Product and Service Review Series. I’m excited to bring this review of Acres USA to you. I hope that after reading this article you will understand why I feel so strongly about their overall mission.
Many years ago when I started on my path of learning about improving my health through proper nutrition, I never realized what would be involved. I started down this path for somewhat selfish reasons as a young woman in my early twenties. All I wanted was to find ways to improve my athletic performance during a time I was playing college basketball.
Although I was doing most everything wrong from a diet standpoint, I learned at a very young age that feeding our bodies “correctly” and staying “healthy” can be challenging.
Today I’m going to get up on my soapbox a little bit. I’ve addressed the importance of product ingredient awareness in a previous article I wrote called Canine Diets And Their Ingredients.
This article takes a slightly different approach and looks more at the importance of label reading as it relates to changes in ingredients. Subtle changes from high quality to inferior ingredients by companies who have had a reputation of providing “safe” products that “promote health and well being” is not only a pet peeve of mine, but it could be a danger to trusting customers as well.
In this article I’m going to introduce you to 3 things you can incorporate into your lifestyle that can help improve your balance when riding your horse.
Most people don’t think much about balance when they decide to ride a horse. It’s common to think that balance does not play much of a role since the majority of people ride their saddle instead of riding their horse.
Nowadays many people are stressed out most of the time.
Whether it be thanks to the economy and job insecurity or working two jobs to help make ends meet or relationship issues or dealing with the kids and all their needs, etc… most of us are going 90 mph and feel like we’re getting no where.
Chronic stress affects we humans far more than we realize. It can manifest itself as “minor” problems like facial lines (hello, that should be classified as “major”!), nail biting and moodiness or it can show up in a much more major way such as digestive problems, sleep problems and immune system disorders.
