Linkilicious

February 25, 2014 by Meghan 26 Comments

I’m tired of link posts.

I have plenty of reading material without you lovely folks giving me a bazillion more things to read. Damned if I don’t click on your links anyway and find myself sucked into the anti-social vortex known as the Internet.

Since these posts don’t seem to be departing anytime soon (and since I’ve actually posted them before), I’ve decided to subject you to the same torture. It’s only fitting right. Payback’s an itch, a witch, or a snitch. Did you know that snitches get stitches? No? ‘Eh it’s a prison thing. Don’t ask.

http://www.cleveland.com/brett/blog/index.ssf/2014/02/cvs_calls_it_quits_on_cigarett.html  This is old news, and I’m still going to share it. I applaud CVS for this, and I hope it’s the first of many steps in the right direction. I’m all for people’s right to choose and if you want to smoke, puff away. That being said, I don’t think a drugstore, a mecca of health and wellness, should be the source of your supply though.

http://foodmatters.tv/articles-1/10-amazing-health-benefits-of-bee-pollen                      Have you heard of this bee pollen stuff? It sounds like the new nectar of the gods, and for my protein loving peeps, it sure does pack a punch. I don’t know if this is the new super food or the new soy, but I plan to find out. Self experimentation, here I come. P.S. Do not try this at home; at least not on my authority.

http://www.marcandangel.com/2014/01/08/8-things-to-remember-when-everything-goes-wrong/ This is a great article about things to remember when everything goes wrong, which its apt to do from time to time. It sure puts things in perspective.

http://www.slate.com/articles/life/culturebox/2014/02/whole_foods_and_walmart_how_many_groceries_sold_at_walmart_would_be_banned.html As if I needed another reason to steer clear of Walmart.

Have you heard of bee pollen? Ever tried it? What’s your take on CVS’s new stance on cancer sticks? Er, I mean cigarettes?  How do you handle life when “everything goes wrong?” Walmart shopping? Yea or nay?

    I’ve heard of fennel pollen. There’s a fennel pollen ranch. or maybe just pollen ranch. Could be Pollan Ranch, for all I know.

    I have bee pollen! It’s an acquired taste… that I’m still trying to acquire a year later…

      What? Have you been consuming it regularly? Obviously not. Send it my way so I can be a guinea pig.

    😆 Well now I just feel horrible for my Sunday posts 😛 I know what you mean, though… there are just WAY too many awesome things to read out there, and I can easily get sucked in for hours if I’m not careful. Life outside the computer? What’s that? 😯

    Bee pollen… I’ve dabbled with it here or there, and while I wouldn’t call it the holy grail of health food, I did notice some interesting benefits like more energy. That being said, it’t not really something I go out of my way to include in my diet. Maybe I should start adding it to my smoothies. Hmm…

      Ignore me. I’m just a curmudgeon. Besides I wouldn’t be dry brushing or practicing some morning rituals if it weren’t for your link posts.

      I was thinking about putting the bee pollen in my smoothies as well. Right along with my flax, I probably wouldn’t taste it and hopefully I’d get some of the more positive side effects, like extra energy. Can you imagine? I’d be bouncing off the walls!!

    Love-hate with link posts. A bigger black hole than pinterest….It’s like all the people with the same interests as me have weeded through the interwebs and found the articles I might actually find interesting…and kill my productivity!

    Never tried bee pollen but it’s on my list. Randomly the other day someone told me they can’t eat it cause they’re allergic to bees. I don’t know if that’s crazy talk or not but I thought about it for hours…

      That is exactly right!!

      It might be true. They did say a lot of people are allergic to bee pollen.

    I remember reading about bee pollen long ago on a restaurant placemat. I’ve never tried it but I am a believer in taking local, seasonal honey to treat allergies.

      I’ve heard about honey and even recommended it to people with high allergies so maybe bee pollen is even better. I’m thinking about giving it a try. Just need to get a local supplier. 😉

    Love these links … and of course hate you for blowing through my lunch hour reading them 🙂

    There are big concerns about bees in terms of how their populations are declining and how we will be in trouble as they continue to decline.

    I hadn’t seen the Walmart one, and it was not surprising. We do some shopping there admittedly, but it is a reminder of how careful you have to be with ingredients!

      I’ve read some articles about bee colony collapse, and it doesn’t sound very good for our future. I would certainly hate to see fruits and squash disappear because the number of bees is dwindling, so I’m hoping we can get to the root as to why they’re disappearing. I know there’s been much speculation, although I’m not sure if the reasons have been scientifically proven yet.

      For me, it’s actually all about the ingredients. I don’t pay attention to calories, carbs, fat, sodium, any of it, except the ingredients. If I can recognize it, I’ll probably eat it. Especially if it’s good.

      Sorry about your lunch hour. Stupid link posts. They get me every time too. 😉

    Bee pollen…I thought it was a Joke the first time I heard it- but thanks to that article, it seems to be trying to be the new chia seed or coconut. Okay, will check the rest out after bombing you.

    You just reminded me that I have a HUGE container of bee pollen! Want some? Trade ya for some granola! 😉

    I fucking hate Walmart, but sadly, I do shop there sometimes. Mostly just for household/HBA items, but in a pinch I’ll go there for food since it’s the closest grocery store to my house…and it’s always open…but there’s never a visit without a grumble, that’s for sure!

      It’s a deal. A bee pollen for granola swap. I want to start adding it to my a.m. smoothies.

    I worked at a smoothie place in college and we had bee pollen as a mix-in back then-guess we were ahead of the curve, because that was AGES ago.
