exposed: pink slime and other facts about the meat industry
[image error]
Terri Gross host of NPR’s "Fresh Air" recently interviewed agriculture expert Tom Philpott about the meat industry in America. Philpott did a great job explaining topics such as pink slime inedible parts of animals that are ground up and added to meat products e. coli contamination mad cow disease and the general process of meat production.
If you didn’t catch the interview you can listen to it right here.
Because of reporting like this the public has expressed outrage about pink slime demand has dropped and the company that manufactures it is likely going out of business. It’s a step in the right direction!

kind bride: planning an eco & veg-friendly wedding
[image error]
Since so many weddings happen in summer I thought I’d share some details about my own wedding and ideas for planning your own eco friendly veg wedding.
Here are some family pictures I found – this is Christopher’s mother Candy Cope’s wedding. She’s pictured below with her bridesmaids and her parents. I found these photos and thought they were so beautiful. I think Candy looks so much like Ginnifer Goodwin don’t you? I love the bridesmaids’ dresses and the feeling and style of it all…just lovely. I find these pictures very beautiful and inspiring. If you’re planning a vintage wedding maybe you’ll find these inspiring too!

Recently my family attended a friend’s wedding in Camarillo. They made some cool natural choices from the location to the seating and decorations. Instead of ordering flowers they used wildflowers – nice and wild and cost-effective! The look was beautiful. Everything looked homemade or repurposed from stuff they already had.

There were little tables set up with simple tablecloths and wildflowers for centerpieces. For the ceremony seating they had haystacks with multicolored shawls spread over them. They used lavender wrapped in paper to sprinkle on the center aisle. You would never know but behind the parking sign in the photograph above there was a junkyard…they did a great job of turning it into a beautiful backdrop.
These are all ideas you could use as inspiration for your own wedding! I’d say the most important choice is location. Once you pick that you can figure out how to work with what you have and what the location has to offer. The key about the location is if you pick somewhere really beautiful and natural and simple you don’t need flowers and all that stuff – just the beauty of what’s already there.
What’s the most beautiful wedding you ever attended?

kind eats: apricots are in season!
I love apricots and they’re in season right now…although their peak may have passed already or hasn’t quite begun. Three weeks ago my husband brought home the perfect apricot. But since then I haven’t found a great one. Maybe the one I had was a fluke? Anywho June is when apricots and other stone fruits such as peaches nectarines and plums are in season.
I eat superhero most of the time so fruit isn’t a big part of my diet but I love to indulge in the occasional treat. When they’re in season I like to make a few nectarine baked desserts with oats and such. And it’s hard not to eat the fresh fruit…it’s so delicious! But it’s not ideal to eat too much of it.
Click here for some kind chocolate cake!
Don’t go crazy with fruit if you are a superhero as it can cause an imbalance – in macrobiotics fruit is believed to weaken the blood. But if you usually go for naughtier sweets like ice cream eat as much fruit as you like!
Check out your local farmers market for apricots and these other delicious stone fruits.
What’s your favorite way to eat apricots?

kind style: ten 4th of july goodies
[image error]
If you're in need of stuff for your 4th of July festivities here are ten items from my OpenSky store that are perfect for summer!
Check out the kind recipe gallery for 4th of July BBQ ideas!
Eco Swim Princess One-Piece Bathing Suit - I think this one-piece is pretty and classic. It has a vintage feel that makes it sexy and kinda va-va-va-voom like a 1940s starlet.
Eco Swim Slide Triangle Bikini Top and Bottom - I think this bikini is so sexy and chic! I like the sleek bronze-y fabric and understated zig-zag detailing.
Eco Swim T-Back Romper Dress - This dress is the perfect beach day or poolside cover-up. It’s super-lightweight and has a nice loose but flattering fit.
Mare Beach Tote By Shiraleah - I think these bags are great looking. They scream summer. I really like the bright bold stripes and the chunky rope handles. It’s the kind of bag you can take to the beach or the farmer’s market…or even use as a makeshift diaper bag.
Journey Vegan Sandals by Olsen Haus - These Olsen Haus sandals are super stylish sexy and sophisticated. Founder Elizabeth Olsen is a longtime vegetarian – she co-founded an animal rights club back when she was in high school!
Flora Floppy Straw Hat by Greenpacha – this hat is 100 authentic—made in Ecuador from toquilla palm fibers by the communities who have been making these hats for hundreds of years.
Hibiskiss Vegan Lip Colors by Crazy Rumors - Remember when you were a kid and you'd get those little pots of flavored lip gloss? Well think of this as the adult and all-natural version of that childhood treat!
Seasnax Variety Pack - I love...I mean love love these little packets of yum. Problem? Can't stop eating them. When I go to the grocery store I have them as my treat...sometimes 2 packets!
Livin Spoonful Crackers - These delish crackers from Livin’ Spoonful are great. They’re packed with so much flavor and they're made from super healthy organic ingredients like sprouted flax dehydrated vegetables and sunflower seeds.
Natural Rubber Flip Flops by Planet Flops - I just discovered these cute ones from kind company Planet Flops which are made from natural rubber not the synthetic stuff. Yay!
How are you planning to celebrate the 4th of July?
