This Week At SOLE Mama’s (12.09.08)

Hi Diddely Ho, all SOLE sisters and brothers!

Sorry I didn’t get around to giving you all an update last week, but pesky real life has been getting in the way. Our poor Sticky is down with a gimpy neck, and old pg has been under the pump at work.

A big welcome to you all!!

Make sure you head over to The Ingredients and introduce yourselves.

Plenty going on over at SOLE Mama’s…  a book review in The Media of a Melbourne author, Angela Crocombe, who will hopefully be joining our site soon!

Ethical Eating: How to make food choices that won’t cost the earth”

Angela Crocombe

Penguin, $24.95.

“We are what we eat, so, if we devout the products of greed and cruelty, we become complicit in them. Crocombe, whose previous book was about reducing our personal global footprint, here teaches us all about food choices. In some countries, the alternative is between food and starvation: here, we have a cornucopia. That the abundance comes with a terrible price is the message of this book. Besides the sadism of the factory farm, there are sickening chemicals, unnecessary packaging and food miles. One of the best features of this book is its guide to eco-symbols, or the most pesticide-ridden produce (peaches). We also learn the facts behind fast foods: the short and brutal lives of chickens, calves and pigs. While vegan beer may not be to everyone’s taste, there is much in here to give us pause in the supermarket aisles. “

Plenty other SOLE stuff over there to keep you amused and get you thinking.

A reminder about the SOLE Mama Facebook competition. Head over to our Facebook page and enter the “WHY is SOLE Mama wearing only her foundation garments?”

And a final note, that SOLE Mama’s is only as good as what you guys make it. I know it’s been quiet, and not a lot of discussion has been going on, but we’ve only been live a month!

Get thee over to SOLE Mama’s as soon asn you can  and help us keep the SOLE message alive!!

Have a good weekend, guys!!
