The Perils of Nutritionism: or, how the food industry pimped my breakfast
Nutritional science is about where surgery was in 1650, says Michael Pollan. At its center is the belief in reductionism: that the whole equals the sum of its parts. Taken to extremes, you get genetic engineering. The integrity of the natural world must be respected, asserts Claire Hope Cummings, who writes about GM foods and indigenous cultures. Eating is an ecological act that determines how we use our land and water.

The low carbon diet: Save money and improve sustainability around the planet!
Many of our modern behaviors leave carbon dioxide emissions in their
wake. Cars emit CO2, coal-fired power plants—which fuel residential
electricity use from the power grid—emit CO2, and so on. This emission
adds up to our annual carbon footprint, which as we probably know by
now contributes to global warming and threatens the health and
biodiversity of our species and the entire planet.

Getting There: Bike-n-ride for beginners
Combining bicycles with public transportation can save both time and
money, but it can also be intimidating. Even without the bike, there

getting on and off the bus or train. Add in the cumbersome two-wheeler
and the task can seem overwhelming.

Yoga for Everyone: Never too young
What allows kids to use a lot of energy, make funny noises, relax and
learn all at the same time? Yoga. Kids derive the same benefits from
yoga as adults do—yoga heals and strengthens in many ways. But yoga offers more than just physical exercise. Yoga also fosters creativity and self-expression as children explore and develop their own variations on poses.

Its all in the eyes: Monet to Picasso at Utah Museum of Fine Art
On June 23rd, the Utah Museum of Fine Arts welcomed what may be the
most significant art exhibit Salt Lake City has ever seen, the Monet to
Picasso exhibit. Having experienced museums all over the world, I was
excited to view this exhibit considering that the collection was as
significant as any great museums I had been to.
