Very interesting "off topic" links, Dan. I'm also curious about the happy foods. Neat!
I liked a lot of those links, but wanted to call attention to one thing in this:

I love your roundups. Ignore him, and don't stop :)
Hi Diva, glad you enjoyed!
Hi Laura, thanks for your comment. I thought that post was insightful, and that's why I linked to it. I'm not endorsing everything on his blog, just that particular post.

Hey Daniel - definitely didn't take that as an assumption that you endorse everything on his blog! Just wanted to point out that even within that post, I disagreed, and hoped you wouldn't stop your Friday links :) Happy blogging!
Ah, I get it!! Thanks, and don't worry, I'll continue with these for sure. The feedback from readers has been really positive.
Thanks as always for reading!

Nice links. We have a local org. called s'Cool food:
http://www.scoolfood.org/welcome/index.cfm
where parents are trying to improve school lunches. Last year I went to a (free!) talk at a local school featuring Morgan Spurlock and Dr. Marion Nestle. It was awesome. My son just started preschool this week, so I packed my first lunch. His daycare provider often made homemade veg. soup for lunch (but there were a fair bit of cookies there too).
I read The End of Overeating. It was pretty fascinating. And scary.
Thank you for linking to my site. You collected some very interesting links and I do enjoy a good round up.
Hi Marcia, thanks for sharing the link. And yep, The End of Overeating was pretty scary in some ways for sure. Thanks for your comment.
Hi Heather, you are welcome, and thanks for the postive feedback!

That White Hot Truth article. All I can say is YEEEESSSSS. And thank you for the link because now I'm all over her page. Love her posts, screaming in agreement at everything...
Melissa, really glad you liked it. That's what these links are all about--I'm trying to spread good vibes about all the good blogs there are out there.
