Emeril's Gone Green



A couple of weeks ago we announced the launch of Discovery Channel’s newest network, Planet Green. With it being food week for us, it seemed only appropriate to showcase celebrity chef, Emeril Lagasse's newest show on the network, Emeril Green.

According to the celebrity chef, the best meals are always made with the freshest ingredients. That is why Emeril will show viewers how to cook healthy, delicious meals using only organic and in-season foods. The show is shot on location in Whole Foods Market, and Emeril, along with the help of the Whole Foods team, cover such questions as which foods increase the taste of meals and at what cost.

To watch Emeril's newest show on Planet Green, go to the website to check for local listings. And if you have managed to read this little blurb without yelling a gratuitous "BAM!", then I am impressed!

Support Organic Farming in PA

The main reason that organic produce is more expensive than it's chemically-sprayed, genetically-modified competition is that farmers who choose to grow diversified crops free of pesticides do not receive the local or federal government support that conventional agribusiness does. Want to see a lot more organic produce, at more affordable prices? Help Pennsylvania farmers transition to organic farming by supporting House Bill No. 2347.
