A Made in America Christmas.

by Adeline Bash on Dec 24, 2012

Source: jackandfriends.com via Jean on Pinterest On November 25th, one month before Christmas this year, a fire broke out in a Bangladesh garment factory, killing 112 people inside. The factory, located in the capital city of Dhaka, manufactured clothing for leading European and American retailers—the same stores that, presumably, were beginning to get hit [...]

To hell with your sustainable meat. Have a heart.

by Adeline Bash on Oct 31, 2012

There are few things lately, aside from maybe the election, that really make me doubt that as a whole humans are generally good. There are some bad apples, no doubt. And I won’t pretend I love everyone. As a rule, however, I like most people I meet and though I am realistic about the negative, [...]

Get Your A** off the Couch & Go See Your Country.

by Adeline Bash on Oct 16, 2012

Maybe we need to see more of what’s around us, immerse ourselves in our nation’s own diverse culture, before hopping on a plane and traveling across the world to learn about someone else’s.

For vegans, a french fry sandwich can be so much more than a sandwich

by Adeline Bash on Sep 5, 2011

I should start this by making clear that I like my diet. I do not feel deprived. I do not suffer from lack of protein nor feel pained that my days of cheeseburgers and traditional milkshakes are over. I do not crave bloody steaks and when I look at a glass of milk all I [...]

Yoga might make you a better person — you are not a better person because you do yoga.

by Adeline Bash on Jul 2, 2011

During my short trip home to Boulder I was granted the time and opportunity to indulge in almost daily yoga. And more importantly, though according to my own personal bank statements I am on the edge of poverty, with my mother’s help I had the funding to back this indulgence. The week started with a [...]

Yoga is for everyone…but only if you lock your knee first

by Adeline Bash on Apr 12, 2011

At a Thursday afternoon yoga class at Zen Spot Lifestyle Center and Yoga Studio in Eugene, participants attempted one of yoga’s most ancient poses. With left legs standing tall, knee slightly bent to support the body and avoid hyper extension, men and women, all different ages, shapes and sizes, slowly lifted their right leg from [...]

Kosher=Cruel

by Adeline Bash on Mar 16, 2011

There have been several instances where someone has pointed out to me a connection between religion and the meat industry. Arguably the most famous example: the bible says God gave humans dominion over animals (i.e. we get to do whatever we want to them). As an atheist, this argument means little to nothing to me [...]

Going Raw Day 6

by Adeline Bash on Feb 26, 2011

I was told that when you flush out the toxic, processed food that makes up the majority of the American diet you start to crave them less. And as my week is coming to an end I definitely see this. It’s not that I crave my salads and fruit smoothies more than I did when [...]

Going Raw Day 5

by Adeline Bash on Feb 25, 2011

I’ve found that raw foodies are an eclectic group. There’s the 90-year-old Armenian who I found on the Internet who went from a malnourished prisoner of war to a yogi running health buff—all thanks, he says, to his Raw Food diet (people in the movement capitalize Raw Food to distinguish it as its own diet [...]

Going Raw Day 3 and 4: Is This Human Food?

by Adeline Bash on Feb 24, 2011

Finally got some relief from my hunger, though at a little bit of a cost to both my taste buds and my food budget. I went to a local health food store and searched the aisles for anything marked “Raw”. I ended up with two Raw Revolution live food bars, which were delicious; a box [...]

Going Raw Day 2

by Adeline Bash on Feb 23, 2011

Nothing new. Still sort of hungry and cold. Hopefully have time to try a recipe out tomorrow. Though, I have to say fruits and veggies are starting to satisfy my cravings a little more. I don’t feel deprived exactly, just a little empty. I’m starting to think with more time to prepare foods I could [...]

Going Raw Day 1.

by Adeline Bash on Feb 21, 2011

I was told by a friend and long-time vegan and health nut a few days ago that a large percent of our diets should be raw fruits, vegetables, and nuts. Ideally, he said, you should try to eat 100% raw. But, he acknowledged that he tried and decided it wasn’t worth it to him and [...]

Drop the tanning oil and pick up carrot stick….

by Adeline Bash on Jan 18, 2011

My sister forwarded me this article from Time Magazine’s Healthland blog: Can a Veggie-Rich Diet Make You More Beautiful? We both used to obsess over tanning and it was the focus of almost every summer until a few years ago. Around the time when we started to change our ideas about our diets and exercise [...]

Boulder liberals don’t have it all right?

by Adeline Bash on Jan 7, 2011

“Golpe de estado (coup d’état)” was part of my Spanish vocabulary almost as early as “Donde esta el baño” and “Quiero una cerveza” were. History and culture lessons were always incorporated into my Spanish courses in high school and college. And since Latin American history is dotted with military coups, golpe de estados were frequently [...]

Thoughts from the Atacama.

by Adeline Bash on Dec 22, 2010

I was told something the other day that I thought was put so eloquently that I feel I have to share it. It came from Roberto, 23-years old, whose family ran the hostel where I stayed in San Pedro de la Atacama, Chile. He said that he thinks everything is equal; houses, nature, humans, [...]

Abandoned kitten teaches us a lot about how we relate to animal suffering.

by Adeline Bash on Nov 18, 2010

I spent a Saturday morning a few weeks ago searching for newborn kittens, both dead and alive, in a friend’s host family’s backyard. Friday night four of my friends and I walked into the house’s courtyard to find a newborn kitten, umbilical cord still attached, struggling to stay alive. Later Friday night we found two [...]

Adventure travel on a budget leads to change in perspective.

by Adeline Bash on Nov 1, 2010

I marveled up at the magnificent Torres, the rock towers that gave Chile’s Torres del Paine national park its name, buried under five pairs of pants, two t-shirts, three sweaters, and a few thin jackets—an oversized hand-knit red scarf wrapped strategically around my neck completing the look. At the final mirador of the Torres rock [...]
