Calling All Foodies
And now, for something completely different: Food Energetics, a book about “the spiritual, emotional and nutritional power of what you eat.”
Those of you who saw our wedding pictures (or, an admittedly smaller number, who saw the actual wedding) may have noticed my two groomsmen, Tall Guy and Short Guy.
Let me introduce these two gentlemen to you: Tall Guy is actually Scott Ohlgren…
… whose writings and doings I’ve reported on this blog in times past (here and here and here).
And Short Guy is none other than my old friend Steve Gagné…
… Scott’s Colorado neighbor, one of my oldest friends — and author of the just-released, stunning new edition of the definitive book on the soul and spirit of food.
Steve is a sort of whole-foods Indiana Jones. If that sounds like a mixed metaphor, you haven’t yet seen Steve’s work. Steve has traveled ’round the globe a fistful of times, digging into ancient ruins and remote cultures, uncovering mysteries of plant genetics and ancient human origins.
Food Energetics is a sweeping tour de force — 562 jam-packed (pun intended) pages of mesmerizing information about the personality, character and impact of dozens and dozens of different specific foods and what impact they have not only on your health but also on your consciousness.

Dear Medium Guy,
This is just another classic case of the liberal media bias and sensationalism against tall people. Which is why I am involved in making sure that our next president is at least 6′7″.
As a minority segment, we tallies are tired of discrimination, not only in articles like this but also in house design, car doors, trouser length, and shoe sizes. We’re tired of the laws that don’t allow tall people to marry other tall people. Okay, so that last one’s not true, but you get the point.
Come 2012, a tallie in the White House!

Um, isn’t calling tall people a “minority” somehow an oxymoron? Aren’t you kind of a majority, even when there’s only one of you in the room? I’m just asking.
