If you've read my post about why protein is so nutritionally important, you know that meat is simply the best source of complete dietary protein. But is becoming vegetarian and eating tofu the solution to our protein problem? Unfortunately, it's not that simple.]]> http://nutritionwonderland.com/2010/03/the-protein-problem-eating-healthy-while-making-the-least-ecological-impact-soy/feed/ 11 http://nutritionwonderland.com/2010/02/gmos-frankenfood-or-evolutionary-advance/ http://nutritionwonderland.com/2010/02/gmos-frankenfood-or-evolutionary-advance/#comments Wed, 10 Feb 2010 18:22:40 +0000 Christie Wilcox http://nutritionwonderland.com/?p=1255 http://nutritionwonderland.com/2010/02/gmos-frankenfood-or-evolutionary-advance/feed/ 1 http://nutritionwonderland.com/2009/11/seafood-watch-super-green-list/ http://nutritionwonderland.com/2009/11/seafood-watch-super-green-list/#comments Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:41:41 +0000 John Serrao http://nutritionwonderland.com/?p=1161 http://nutritionwonderland.com/2009/11/seafood-watch-super-green-list/feed/ 0 http://nutritionwonderland.com/2009/11/making-the-connection-between-sustainable-seafood-and-nutrition/ http://nutritionwonderland.com/2009/11/making-the-connection-between-sustainable-seafood-and-nutrition/#comments Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:37:39 +0000 Christie Wilcox http://nutritionwonderland.com/?p=1151 http://nutritionwonderland.com/2009/11/making-the-connection-between-sustainable-seafood-and-nutrition/feed/ 2 http://nutritionwonderland.com/2009/09/plastic-troubles-brominated-flame-retardants-pbde/ http://nutritionwonderland.com/2009/09/plastic-troubles-brominated-flame-retardants-pbde/#comments Thu, 03 Sep 2009 15:00:18 +0000 Christie Wilcox http://nutritionwonderland.com/?p=1025 http://nutritionwonderland.com/2009/09/plastic-troubles-brominated-flame-retardants-pbde/feed/ 0 http://nutritionwonderland.com/2009/07/understanding-our-bodies-amino-acids/ http://nutritionwonderland.com/2009/07/understanding-our-bodies-amino-acids/#comments Mon, 20 Jul 2009 18:20:53 +0000 Christie Wilcox http://nutritionwonderland.com/?p=825 http://nutritionwonderland.com/2009/07/understanding-our-bodies-amino-acids/feed/ 4 http://nutritionwonderland.com/2009/06/understanding-bodies-serotonin-connection-between-food-and-mood/ http://nutritionwonderland.com/2009/06/understanding-bodies-serotonin-connection-between-food-and-mood/#comments Wed, 24 Jun 2009 18:45:13 +0000 Christie Wilcox http://nutritionwonderland.com/?p=702 The Physiology of Nutrition, I present to you the connection between food and mood - serotonin.]]> http://nutritionwonderland.com/2009/06/understanding-bodies-serotonin-connection-between-food-and-mood/feed/ 26 http://nutritionwonderland.com/2009/06/understanding-our-bodies-leptin-the-fullness-hormone/ http://nutritionwonderland.com/2009/06/understanding-our-bodies-leptin-the-fullness-hormone/#comments Mon, 15 Jun 2009 18:48:16 +0000 Christie Wilcox http://nutritionwonderland.com/?p=682 Understanding Our Bodies" - nutrition based on how our bodies work.

The new guidelines uphold some of the traditional mainstays of organic agriculture, like banning the use of antibiotics, hormones, pesticides and GMO feed in some instances while weakening other provisions at the same time.

Most notable in the new guidelines is the inclusion of a loophole that allows aquaculture farms to obtain up to 25% of their feed from unregulated wild seafood stock (see the NOSB draft literature). The loophole does specify that organic producers use 'sustainable' wild seafood as the feed for their fish stocks but does not go so far as to require 100% organic feed. This is the first time ANY livestock producer (NOTE: the USDA classifies fisheries as 'livestock') has been allowed to include any non-organic feed into their own animal's feed.]]> http://nutritionwonderland.com/2008/12/organic-fish/feed/ 6
