Welcome to Friday’s For The Love of Food, Summer Tomato’s weekly link roundup.
A heads up that this will be my final post for awhile as I’m going on maternity leave. Wish me luck! If you’d like to follow along on Instagram you can do so at @daryarose.
Next week’s Mindful Meal Challenge will start again on Monday. Sign up now to join us!
This week it’s OK to let your kids trick-or-treat, gut fungi are a thing, and how to reclaim your mornings.

Links of the week
- My Kids Go Trick or Treating. Yours Probably Should Too. – If you’ve ever tried a restrictive diet you know how depriving yourself can result in a rebound binge effect. Kids are not immune to this psychological phenomenon either. I love Yoni Freedhoff’s advice to treat Halloween as a teachable moment to develop a healthy and realistic relationship with sugar and special occasions. (Weighty Matters)
- Read this and you may never eat chicken again – One of the many reasons I don’t eat industrial meat at all if I can help it. Skipping it is also a good way to stick it to the man. (The Guardian, EcoWatch)
- Gut fungi could play a role in obesity epidemic – Move over gut bacteria, gut fungi want some attention too. Also FYI, when you read about a mouse study that used a “high-fat diet,” what they really mean is a Western diet that is high in both fat and sugar. Mice won’t eat lots of fat without sugar added. Go figure. (ScienceDaily)
- It’s easy to become obese in America. These 7 charts explain why. – It really isn’t that complicated, but it’s nice to see it all laid out. Fixing it is another story. (Vox)
- Kimbal Musk Wants to Feed America, Silicon Valley-Style – I’m super interested to see how food evolves. It’s a complex problem and as much as I love the idea of everyone having their own backyard garden, I know that isn’t realistic. It’s exciting to consider what someone with resources like Musk can do in this space, though I hope he makes it better and not worse. (NY Times)
- You Get 25,000 Mornings as an Adult: Here are 8 Ways to Not Waste Them – In case you haven’t noticed, a huge part of maintaining strong healthystyle habits is smart energy and time management. Some great tips here. (James Clear)
- Sleep Scientist Warns Against Walking Through Life ‘In An Underslept State’ – Sleep is also critical in energy management. Make sure you prioritize it. (NPR)
- Anthony Bourdain Wants You to Waste Less Food – Excited to see this film. Food waste is a critically important issue and I’m happy the important people are starting to pay attention. (Civil Eats)
- French supermarkets banned from throwing away and spoiling unsold food – So awesome. More please. (Independent)
- The Minimalist’s Strength Workout – Good suggestions if you’re looking for a simple strength training workout. (Outside Online)
- Magic Sausage & Cabbage Supper – I made a meal similar to this a couple of days ago. So simple and delicious. (Stone Soup)
