What “living food” actually means.

A raw almond can be planted and it will grow. Roast it, and it will not. When I was healing my body from cancer, I leaned hard into living foods, and on October 19 I am leading a 30-Day Raw Challenge so you can feel what they do too. There is even a raw brownie recipe waiting for you inside.

They said the weekend would ruin the economy.

Workers marched for the 8-hour day in 1886 and were told it would collapse everything. Ford went to a 5-day week in 1926 and other companies called it reckless. The 40-hour week didn't become law until 1938. Every one of those sounded unreasonable right up until it happened.

I've been thinking about that in relation to food. Count the restaurants near you built around animals versus plants. Look at how much of the grocery store goes to meat, cheese, cereal, and processed junk compared to produce. That ratio isn't natural. It was built over 100 years by companies chasing bigger profits.

Which means it can be built differently. Imagine social juice bars where the bars are. Fruit cups at the checkout instead of candy. No need for a health food store, because that's the only kind there is.

You don't have to wait for the culture to catch up. Your kitchen is one place 65where you already decide what the default is.

Full piece in this morning's newsletter. And the next cooking class is Sunday, September 27th in DC.

The man who invented bacon and eggs never cooked a thing.

In the 1920s a bacon company hired Edward Bernays, Freud's nephew and the father of modern PR. He got a doctor to poll several thousand physicians on whether a heavy breakfast beat a light one, collected the yes answers, and put "doctors recommend a hearty breakfast" in newspapers across the country. Eggs were already on most tables. Bacon was the thing that needed selling.

100 years later we're still arguing about how much to eat at breakfast instead of what's on the plate.

Full story in this morning's newsletter.

And my 2 cooking classes at The Wharf are tomorrow. One open to everyone at 12:30, one just for men at 4. Last chance to grab a spot.

This Sunday in DC, come cook with me. 👩🏽‍🍳

I'm teaching two hands-on classes at The Wharf, and they're really two classes in one. You cook, taste everything, and learn the nutrition behind each dish, why each ingredient works in your body and what it's doing for your health. Most cooking classes stop at the recipe. Mine go further.

End of Summer Plant-Based Cooking
Sunday, August 30, 12:30 to 2:30pm
Three dishes together, including a recipe from Stop Playin', Go Vegan. All are welcome, no experience needed.

Just for Men Vegan Cooking
Sunday, August 30, 4:00 to 6:00pm
Easy, healthy food built around what actually improves men's health, plus real knife skills. Ladies, feel free to share this with the men in your life: husband, son, brother, friend.

Both classes are at The Wharf, Washington, DC. Space is limited, so save your spot now: RubyLathon.com/events

Americans now spend more money eating out than eating at home. That flipped in 2015 and it has only widened since.

Most people can tell you what they should be eating. The problem is Tuesday at 6pm, when you're tired and hungry and the vegetables in your fridge require a plan you don't have.

This week I'm breaking down what changes when you can actually cook, including why most people who say they hate vegetables have only ever had them boiled. Link below. 🌿

I'm also teaching 2 hands-on classes at The Wharf on Sunday, August 30th, one open to everyone and one just for men.

Men die about five years earlier than women in the U.S. Heart disease, diabetes, certain cancers, all showing up earlier and hitting harder.

Some of that is biology. A lot of it is what men have been taught about food.

This week I broke down what the research actually supports, including the soy myth that needs to go. Read it below. 🌿

I'm also hosting a Just for Men cooking class here in DC on August 30th. Details in the newsletter.

I spent some time on the Potomac this week, and it got me thinking about gut health.

The industry wants you to believe a healthy gut is something you have to buy. Probiotic sodas, gut gummies, thirty-dollar reset powders. Meanwhile only 5% of American adults get enough fiber, which is the thing actually feeding the bacteria you already have.
