I hope you are enjoying a lovely summer (or winter) weekend wherever you may be. Happy Father’s Day to any dads out there and if you have the fortunate opportunity to be near yours this weekend enjoy every second of it. I hear the garden is going wild back home – green beans, potatoes, peas, squash, raspberries and blackberries – so I’m sure my dad will be spending his weekend outside.
There was a lot of great reading (and watching) out there about real, nourishing foods. It was one of those weeks that I really felt inspired and confident that as a healthy society, we are making changes in the right direction.
I feel I should give a shout out to Food Renegade and Find Your Balance today because they always give me such great links through Twitter. A couple of today’s links I found through their informative re-tweets.
Campaign for Real Health spills the butter in the post Fat 3.0. This will then lead you to an article in Ode Magazine all about how fat is back in the limelight regarding health and this time it has nothing to do with cutting it out.
Agave: A Triumph of Marketing over Truth from Mercola.com shares more information about the agave craze and whether or not it is better, or no better, for you than sugar. I found this to be very informative and went along with much of the information I found when I was researching for my post.
Beware of hypes. Açaí as an example. from the Juice Herald takes on a similar theme. Why, oh why must we, in the US, always turn healthy, real foods into miracle cures, pills and extracts?
Taco Calzones with Avocado Cream was shared by food for living. I was so happy to find the Homemade Taco Seasoning Blend at the end of the post. I want to get away from using the packets, but I’m never quite sure what to put together to add the right flavor. Now I’ve got it.
Make your life more like travel by Gadling was an inspiring post I think most of us can relate to. It definitely gives you something to think about regarding enjoying where you are, positive attitude and everyday life.

thanks for all the links! they look great.
Oh I saw that agave article! good transition food, i think, to wean off white sugar but def not health food! Can't wait to check out the fats article...that's my new favorite subject.
Great links! I'm especially interested in the Agave one. Have a healthy weekend!
Great links! I like the fat and acai ones. I've heard about how acai is more hype than anything. I'm also glad that I got off the low-fat bandwagon. It's very restrictive.
Thanks for the links! I'm curious about what Juice Herald says about açai. Isn't it ironic that we have some of (if not THE) highest obesity rates in the world but we're rather obsessed about health food, especially if it allows us to eat the stuff we should be cutting back. A miracle cure is so much easier than the hard work of watching what one eats and exercising.
