Herbs and spices. What's the difference? Well, I guess it depends on their use, according to a registered dietician who answers this and other questions about herbs and spices in a recent Washington Post article. The author provides some brief answers to questions like "Does cinnamon help people with diabetes?" and "Will ginger settle a sick tummy?" Though she relies almost entirely on one source (the International Food Information Council), which sort of makes you wonder why you didn't just google search the answers yourself, it's nice to know that red hot chili peppers do more than make us sweat. They help us feel satisfied after eating. If you're dying to learn more about your favorite herb or spice, we recommend our trusty friend, Wikipedia. It actually boasts an impressive alphabetized list of culinary herbs and spices. Your herb garden will certainly expand next year after perusing these pages. Source: Washington Post

It's true what our moms said...we are what we eat. In fact, it's truer than they thought. What I eat doesn't just affect me anymore, it affects all of us.
Unfortunately, the story of food can sometimes be complicated. But envirovores help each other out...which is why this blog will be bringing you news, tips, and information about food and the environment every step of the way.
