So apparently this photo caused a massive uproar in the form of rude and demeaning comments left for Alexa Chung to see. These comments included things such as “Ur ugly” and “Ew she’s so skinny it’s gross.” Sure, her legs may be looking a little on the skinny side, but what gives women the right to comment negatively on other women’s bodies?

Sometimes I say it’s the media’s fault that so many women have body issues, but I also think other women are to blame. I dream of the day that women can look at eachother without feeling the need to say something negative about their body. It truly sickens me. If we were all nicer to eachother, maybe body image wouldn’t be such a big issue.

Another example, I recently came across an article about Miley Cyrus having to go on a gluten-free diet because of allergies, and a comment was left saying that Miley was still “on the chunk side.” Excuse me? On the chunk side? I was unaware that being a size 2 meant you were fat.

It’s true that conventional produce is better than no produce, but any time you have the chance to buy organic, go for it!

Can you tell me what Kale tastes like?

Tue, 17 Apr 2012 00:56:00 -0400

Kale has a slightly similar texture to spinach, but with a bit more of a bitter taste to it. But don’t let the world “bitter” scare you away from it! It’s super healthy, helping to prevent certain types of cancer like breast and colon cancer, and it’s got a boatload of vitamins in it!

If you’re a little skiddish about trying it, I’d suggest eating it in chip form: throw some kale on a cookie pan with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper and bake those suckers on 350 until they shake around on the pan (about 10 to 15 minutes).
