Eat real food.

Check out this excellent article by Rob Eshman on real food for passover, from Jewish Journal. I’m really happy to see someone in the “mainstream” world talking about real food, and why it matters. Here’s a little snippet, but really, click over and read the whole thing on Jewish Journal.

During Passover, Jews are forbidden foods that contain leavening or grain products, aside from matzah flour. But evidently, eight days outside the grip of the modern American food processing industry is too much for some Jews to bear. And so, bit by bit, the Passover selection expanded. First came kosher-for-Passover brownie mix. Then, kosher-for-Passover Crispy-O’s and Magic Loops cereal. And now, to choose from hundreds, there is blueberry pancake mix, instant vanilla pudding, Crunchy Hot snack fries, amaretto-flavored coffee whitener and a nondairy whipped topping whose ingredients include partially hydrogenated palm kernel oil, polysorbate 60 and propylene glycol alginate.

(Sorry I’ve been slacking. Been working on my new publishing company. But I have pictures of a wonderful fish curry that I’ll be putting up in a day or two.)
