May Produce Parable
By Adam Calder
Wheatsfield Cooperative recently
wrapped up a week-long series of events to celebrate Earth Day in April.
Throughout that week, if one was lucky enough, they might have had a
run in with the Bag Monster.
The Bag Monster is a project conceived
by the ChicoBag company. ChicoBags are reusable grocery bags that
fold up nicely into themselves to form a neat little pouch, and we
offer a variety of them at Wheatsfield. The inventor of ChicoBags,
Andy Keller, used to go to farmers markets with a giant ball made
entirely of 500 single use plastic bags that represented the average
number of plastic bags a United States citizen uses in a year. One
day he decided to wear the bags, and the Bag Monster came into being,
spreading knowledge and awareness about the dangers and drawbacks of
single use plastic bags. read more...

Why you crave the bad stuff, and how the good stuff can help you conquer cravings
I’m hungry. No, really, I’m not kidding. I’m not just calmly and
pleasantly considering the possibility of a future meal. I’m famished.
Ravenous. And I have to eat now.
But here’s the thing: Obviously, I’m not literally starving. One look
at me in a bathing suit makes it pretty clear that I’ve got energy
stores. There is no emergency. I know where my next meal is coming from.
My refrigerator is full of food. I know I don’t have to eat right now. read more

April Cheese Feature: Brie |
|
Cradled in a velvety white rind, this melt-in-your mouth cheese is
perhaps France’s best known (and most well-loved) for good reason.
It’s rich, buttery and slightly sweet flavor lends itself equally
well to appetizers or desserts, and warming Brie in the oven
increases its delectability even more. read more
