Video: “World’s Best Latte Art”
Pithy and upbeat violin music accompanies this lesson in “latte art” demonstrated by an expert. Professional barista Luke Shaffer at the 21st Street Coffee and Tea in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania makes this look easy. If you’ve ever tried making lattes into mini-paintings, “easy” it’s not!
For more brilliance, check out 15-year veteran barista Musa’s latte art (Whispers at North Bridge Chicago, Illinois). Hopefully the coffee ORGANIC!

Video: “The Scarecrow,” Chipotle’s animated film for a new app-based game
“The Scarecrow” is a brilliant animation! Did you SEE that cow’s eyes?! You may never want to eat meat again! Created by animators at MOONBOT Studios, “The Scarecrow” gets us thinking about what we’re eating, and why–what our choices do to our environment.
“The Scarecrow” is the companion film for the Chipotle’s new app-based game. The download for the app is free at The Scarecrow Game. The game, and the animated film, is Chipotle’s “call to action” for wholesome, sustainable food–organic, included. If you like the song “Pure Imagination” performed by Grammy Award®–winning artist Fiona Apple, you can download on iTunes.
Chipotle’s Restaurants, found across the US, are known for “Food with Integrity.” What that means: Finding and using only the best possible ingredients—those raised or grown with respect for animals, the environment and farmers. Sustainable, and whenever possible, organic, is Chipotle’s promise to its patrons.
If only Chipotle was across Canada too!

Your pet may be eating better than you are! Pets have now joined the trend to natural and ORGANIC food.
“Big-box pet stores and precious pet boutique shelves are increasingly stocked with gourmet edibles that are corn-free, wheat-free, locally sourced, byproduct-free, free-range, minimally processed and raw. Many come with homey, inviting labels, and some look palatable even for humans. At Petco, a number of locations now have a wood-floored store-within-a-store for natural foods.”[Source: Jeannine Stein, Los Angeles Times]
Consumers are more savvy about food these days. Pets are often considered to be “family.” If you don’t feed your human family refined, processed, UNreal food, why would you do that to your pets. Join the organic trend!

Saturday, September 21nd is officially the start of Canada’s fourth National Organic Food Week! What is “National Organic Food Week”? The short answer is “celebration of all things organic.”
Organic farming continues to grow in Canada! Organic foods are carefully regulated, provide food sources not only good for health, but good for the planet. The Toronto Globe and Mail newspaper (Food and Wine/Life section) provides a special 3-page feature ALL ABOUT ORGANICS, and Canada’s National Organic Food Week.
