Read the June 2013 issue of the Foodwatch Newsletter now

This issue of the newsletter is devoted to a sneak preview of a book on ancient grains. I wrote the history and nutritional information that accompanies the yummy recipes like this millet-based cheescake. We also talk about Go Red for Women, EatKit for June and our Instagram Photo Challenge for June. There's also a special offer for Foodwatch newsletter subscribers.
