I might be a lot like many of you–in recent years I have become much more aware of where my food comes from and what happens to it before it hits my plate. And I don’t tend to be either a trend-setter or a bandwagon-hopper; I like to take some time to consider new information and roll it around in my head before making sweeping changes, whether it has to do with social, health or political issues. I try not to substitute other people’s opinions for my own, and wouldn’t suggest you do that either–but I do rely on some people who I trust and whose work I know to be full of integrity and substance. Mike Lieberman is one of those people.
Mike not only writes about food issues,green living and sustainability, he lives it–making him one of the most authentic and trusted voices today on these issues. I first became introduced to Mike last fall, when I was a fledgling blogger on twitter. I can’t remember what lead me to him–probably a random re-tweet (social media is great that way)–but much of the information I have now about food and health issues, I’ve gotten from or through Mike.
Today I read a great interview with Mike on on cdeis.com — if you are interested in becoming more aware of food and sustainability issues, have questions, don’t know what voice to trust, I encourage you to start here. There is a seemingly unending cacophony of information on food issues right now–is agave nectar good or not? Can I grow my own food? How do I add more raw food to my diet? Are cleanses safe? –and Mike not only has information on these issues, he will speak his mind about them. Mike is the epitome of “tell it like it is,” so I know his is a voice I can trust.
That and the fact that, although I’m a Texas girl, my family and Mike’s are from neighboring Brooklyn ‘hoods. If you can’t trust a good Brooklyn boy…well, now, that’s a thought I choose to ignore.
