Eat more cottage cheese


Though it may be difficult to believe at times, ours is not the first economic imbroglio to plague this country. Check out this collection of war-era food posters featured on Grist.org (unofficial motto: "Laugh now -- or the planet gets it") for some perspective. Although slightly kooky and a little dated, the tips offered by these government-issued propaganda pieces are still environmentally and economically relevant. I'm not suggesting we should all go out and plant beans or anything, but a little conscious consuming couldn't hurt.


Sign me up!

If you're squeamish about eating straight cottage cheese, try incorporating it into something yummy like cheesecake (trust me, it's good). Or you can try my personal favorite: Ruffles potato chips and cottage cheese. Nutritious AND delicious!

    Ahh--thanks for the props. Now if I could only get the yardies (six strong with the addition of "The Yowler") to take the "We Eat because We Work" ethic to heart!

    Forget cats! I have students who I wish took that motto to heart! They think they deserve the world just because they exist!

    Wow, everyone looks really short from my perspective up here on this soap box.
