Those of you who follow me know I’m a huge fan of The Food Revolution. Their organization presents facts based on peer-reviewed research. A Grim Future No doubt there are other factors at work in the destruction of our planet, food supply, and our bodies, but...

It sounded like one of those bucket list items when my friend, Debra Kostiw, asked me to play the part of her demented mother in a “few videos.” Debra is a certified educator on Alzheimer’s and other dementias, giving lectures and training health care...
