There are a couple of valid points in here, but, it really bugs me that anybody would advise against anything at farmers markets. As long as you're being a conscious consumer, you should never have any issues with knowing what to buy at farmers markets.
Eating for your blood type is the new fad diet that is taking the celebrity world by storm. The theory behind this diet is that every blood group has its own unique substance that recognizes foreign invaders, and these antigens, react badly with certain foods.
Furthermore, the creator of this...
Although there isn't really any evidence about these diets, I do believe that it makes intuitive sense that different people thrive on different diets due to the evolutionary process. Whether this depends on blood type or something else, there's no way of knowing at this point.
In my eyes when I think of “fast food” I think of convenience and all of the foods we have love hate relationships with: candy, soda, desserts, fast food chains, etc. I found an article that broke down the caloric intakes of a few of these different foods and how eliminating them could have such a...
Very cool information! Never knew all of that stuff.
If the words “fat-free” sound too good to be true… it’s because they are. Fad diets everywhere emphasize fat-free like it’s our gift from the mass market Gods. But hidden under that silver wrapper is refined sugar, carbohydrates and empty calories.
A diet high in healthy fats, like those found in…
I think attention needs to be brought to fad-diets because people are just basing their information off of the media. When these diets could be hurting them instead of helping them and in turn discourage them from being healthy in general.
"Fat free" foods are terrifying! I stay away from them at all costs.
I was searching the Internet to find positive articles on dietary/nutritional supplements and it seems that they just don’t exist! It’s interesting to think that supplements can take up aisles in stores, but according to the Internet it is a waste of money and can in fact impede on your health....
What a wild observation! I think it's obvious that people should only need to take supplements under very specific circumstances, but society has convinced us that we do not have the time to get all of our nutrients from good, wholesome food.
Farmer's markets have so many impacts on communities, from social, to economic. Here is a paper in the American Journal of Agricultural Economics which exhibits a study regarding a broad range of influences that local markets and community supported agriculture can have on a community. The study goes into both the community influences and also the positive influences on local food producers that farmers markets have. Interesting stuff!
What to, and what not to buy at Farmers Markets
Here are two articles i've recently come across regarding possible purchases that one can make at Farmers Markets.
The first is a list of 8 great foods to buy at markets. I really like this article as it exhibits the fact that the food you can find at a farmers market is better tasting and more nutritious than the food you can get at a regular supermarket.

The second piece is a list of things that you shouldn't buy at farmers markets. I do not like this article because it seems somewhat discouraging to people who may be on the fence about going to a farmers market to shop. I believe that people should be encouraged to purchase as much as they need from farmers markets, instead of other sources, as long as the products are from local businesses.

In an article published by Harvard Medical School, the reasons why stress causes us to turn to food are discussed. The main reason we eat when we are under stress is because of the stress hormone cortisol. This hormone leads to an increase in appetite, and when we are under stress, the first...
Always wondered about this, interesting to see that there is a difference between genders.
Farmers Markets and the Influence on Troubled, Urban Communities
There are many troubled neighborhoods in the United States. Many of these neighborhoods suffer from high rates of unemployment, slow economic growth, high crime rates, poverty, and poor nutrition. Anacostia, Southeast of Washington DC, is no exception.
The “From the Ground Up” program of the Capital Area Food Bank (CAFB) began because of a distinct lack of fresh foods available to this community and they have created a Farmer’s market for the community members to acquire fresh, wholesome foods to satisfy obvious nutritional needs that weren’t being met.
The Anacostia Farmers Market is steadily growing and aiding the community in becoming more nutritionally sound.

My search to find fast food under the microscope only came up with the McDonalds chicken nugget under one, which I feel most of us have probably heard of or seen by now. There are “mysterious” fibers, red blobs (thought to be an additive to make it look more like the color of chicken), no similar...
It's funny what can be considered as "food" in our society. Hope this changes some day.
Seven reasons to support your local Farmers Market
The food at farmers markets is better! It is fresher, tastes better, looks prettier, and has way less food miles on it.
You know that you are supporting local producers and every last bit of the dollars you're spend will stay in your community, helping the local economy.
The food has a smaller environmental impact. Less food miles means less consumed fossil fuels. These foods haven't been trucked half way across the country, or even half way across the world!
Meet your farmer! He/she is probably pretty damn cool if they are running/ working a local farm. Talk to them, there is a lot to learn from the people that are feeding you.
Socialize. All sorts of community members will be at the farmers market and it is a great place to make new friends, network, or just spend time with friends.
Seasonal eating. Learn about foods that are in season and eat seasonally. It's not possible to get fresh tomatoes in February, but you can get foods that store well like winter squash and root vegetables. Different foods are grown and harvested at different times of the year. You may even learn a trick or two about food preservation.
Try something new! Farmers grow all sorts of vegetables that you have never hears of: a Kohlrabi? Salsify? Sunchokes? Ask your farmer what to do with these weird foods and he/she will probably give you some seriously tasty ideas!
If the words “fat-free” sound too good to be true… it’s because they are. Fad diets everywhere emphasize fat-free like it’s our gift from the mass market Gods. But hidden under that silver wrapper is refined sugar, carbohydrates and empty calories.
A diet high in healthy fats, like those found in…
I think attention needs to be brought to fad-diets because people are just basing their information off of the media. When these diets could be hurting them instead of helping them and in turn discourage them from being healthy in general.
Have you ever looked at ingredients lists on fat-free foods? It is terrifying! Our bodies love to run off of fats.

The common research that I found while writing my first annotated bibliography was that fast food targeted lower income populations. I was searching for a picture to post to tumblr I came across an interesting article that is full of examples of how people prioritize their expenditures. The...
This is really cool information to be seeing! I hope that a lot of people see this and realize that eating fast food is not actually the cheapest way to feed one's self, both in the short and in the long run! The only problem is the time that it takes to prepare all of that fresh food, but in my opinion, it's well worth the time you need to spend on preparing for you, and your wallet, to be healthier and happier!
