The Face Behind the Voice and Loads of Links

Okay, a bunch of links for you all and a special treat...

Here is Meat-free Mike (he's the one with the hat on and anticipating all the wonderful food on his plate) at the last Vegan Meet-up. Now you can put a smiling face with the voice you hear every Sunday. See what you are missing if you don't come to the meet-ups?

Okay now to links to much of what we've been discussing the last few weeks:

Vegan for Life - this is the essential guide to living well on a vegan diet. I am a long-time fan of Jack Norris and Virginia Messina and mention them often on-air. Now they have put all the latest vegan nutrition advice in one book!

Mark Bittman on taxing junk food and subsidizing vegetables to feed people. I couldn't agree more!

Meat Eaters Guide to Climate Change and Health (interesting read for anyone interested in/worried about the environment). For those of us who like pictures, don't skip this graphic.

We've been talking a lot about local farmers markets. Like the Farmers Market on Historic N. 1st St., Market at the Square, Sustainable Student Farm on the U of I quad, etc.

My friends have started a mini CSC and weekly farm stand for their farm, The Mulberries Farm and Orchard.

We played a song last week from Dada Veda and hope to have him on the show in the near future.


We have several guests we need to schedule and we'll let you know when and who very soon!

Voices from the Historic N. First St. Market

This week, Meat-free Mike is back and he has a recording from his visit Thursday to the Farmers Market on Historic N. First St. 

Veggie Trails is for sale!  We are sad to see this exciting new business for sale, but V-Jerky is sticking around.  Neil and Hilary are just selling the food cart.  We appreciate all their hard work and inspiring enthusiasm.  We are lucky to have them in our community!  Click on the link for details and if you end up buying, let them know Food for Though sent you.

It seems that everywhere I look or listen the past few weeks, people have been writing/talking about the 21 Dollar Week Challenge.  We'll discuss what it means, hunger and poverty in the community and all that goes along with it.

As always, we welcome any and all feedback/questions.  WEFT is community radio and we love to hear from you!  Thanks for listening!!
