me and my friend we exercise and eat healthy but don’t eat organic and we both lost allot of pounds and both are stomachs got a little flat but we’ve been eating fruits vegetables brown rice, oatmeal salads tuna salmon chicken whole grain cereal things like that and we’ve been exercising and lost allot of pounds and inches and we don’t eat organic. so why do some people think you only need to eat organic in order to lose weight?
@ jessica and lucky thank you i agree.

I need some advice… I’m moving to the SF area in a few months from the midwest, but am not sure where a girl like me would be happy living; so I thought I’d ask someone who is from there.
I’m a little bit goth, a little punk, alt, Bettie Page-ish, and frequent cool coffehouses. I have a few tattoos piercings; that you cant see during my corporate job during the day. I’m not all about the goth/punk scene. I like bike-riding farmers markets stuff during the day too. I like gardens, organic food, SAFE QUIET neighborhoods.
I’m looking for a neighborhood that is across the bay that would suit me. Some people have suggested Rockridge, Lake Merritt area, or Berkeley. I’ve never been to any of these areas. I am regular middle working class am able to support myself just fine, but not rich by any means. I’m just looking for an affordable studio apartment, something quiet, and in a relatively safe neighborhood. I like places with character (clawfoot tubs, hardwoods, etc).

organic gardening tips
Alice M asked:


I’m 15, and I’ve always wanted to lead a more organic lifestyle. Maybe for the reason that my family is the exact opposite. I myself am a vegetarian, while my step dad consumes meet at least every meal. It’s gross.

Anyway, I’ve voiced how I want to be more earth helping and organic. I said that I wanted to eat all organic foods, but they laugh in my face and say they dont want to waste their money because organic food is more expensive. I on the other hand plan on starting to buy some of my own food from an organic health food store, but I’m not exactly sure how and what is really 100% organic I think growing some fruits and vegetables in a garden could be beneficiary but I also dont know how to garden.

I just want any help/tips/advice from people. And maybe if you lead a lifestyle like I want give me some advice or tell me what you do.

Any input is helpful :) Thank you!
