Blogs!


This past Summer I discovered the world of healthy living blogs. These bloggers (mostly women) write about anything health related. These topics range from the seemingly mundane (the best almond butter, how to buy cheap organic produce, and healthy holiday recipes) to heavier, more intense conversations (eating disorders, body image, and mental health). I love finding fun, healthy recipes, interesting new foods, new exercise ideas, and inspiration from all the blogs I read.
Here are some of my favorites!
I am really curious to hear your reactions to these blogs. We've talked about how the food movement can be somewhat elitist. Not many people have the ability to spend so much time and effort planning their meals and buying such fresh healthy ingredients. Do these blogs further illustrate the divide between the have's and have nots?
Also, some of these women post every single meal they eat. Is it healthy to spend so much time obsessing over what we and other people are and aren't eating? Is our culture becoming too obsessed with food?
Let me know your thoughts!
