A Nutritionist’s Top 10 Sources of Plant-Based Calcium Top 10 Sources of Plant Based Calcium As a holistic nutritionist who also happens to enjoy a plant-based lifestyle, I’m always more than happy to point a person who is frantic because of their newly diagnosed dairy allergy toward other sources of calcium. There are so many places to get calcium, and – surprise – some plant sources of calcium can be even better absorbed and utilized by the body! Got Alkalinity? Once upon a time, raw milk was widely available and was an alkaline-forming food. Too many acidic foods in the diet can contribute to a state of metabolic acidosis, which means that the body’s tissues have become slightly more acidic than normal.

Healthiest Foods Out of Reach For The Majority of The Population by Natasha Longo, To say the cost of healthy living is out of reach for most people is an understatement. Low to middle-class subsets of the population have difficulty affording their own rent and mortgage payments let alone clean organic and unprocessed foods. Nutritionally sound chemical-free diets have achieved many distinctions to combat and prevent the most threatening diseases, but the question is can people afford them? Numerous researchers have demonstrated relationships between the food environment and diet, and frequently have pointed to the grocery gap–and the resulting “food deserts”–as a significant contributor to poor nutrition and rising rates of obesity and diet-related chronic illnesses. If access to foods that are free from genetically modified organisms(GMO), pesticides, herbicides, and other chemical constituents are too expensive for most people then how is a society ever to attain and overcome health obstacles if these diets are only for the rich? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
The strange death of ‘Red Warwick’ — Comment **As the Warwick SU Elections 2013 are brought to an end, it is curious to stand back and survey the victors and the carnage, and evaluate the impact this latest election has had and the political environment of campus it has resulted in. Looking back across the academic year 2012/13, there is a tale of a muted swan-song resulting in the final death of that much obsessed movement, ‘Red Warwick’.** My interpretation of the definition of ‘Red Warwick’ is that of collective radicalism of staff and students, closely associated with left wing and progressive ideology. A must read for all students is E.P. The recent officer election have resulted in the first sabbatical team over the last few years in which no officer has a close relationship with the left. It is fair to say that 2012/13 has seen the absence or failure of activism from those students who’s first experience of Warwick clashed with the largest example of dynamism on the left, the 2010 fee rise protests.

Joseph Reagle on the gender gap in geek culture Is geek culture sexist? Joseph Reagle, Assistant Professor of Communications Studies at Northeastern University and author of a new paper entitled, “Free as in Sexist? Free culture and the gender gap,” returns to Surprisingly Free to address geek feminism and the technology gender gap. According to Reagle, only 1% of the free software community and 9% of Wikipedia editors are female, which he sees as emblematic of structural problems in the geek community. Reagle prescribes a 3-step solution to sexism in geek culture: talking about gender; challenging and expanding what it means to be a geek; and not allowing the rhetoric of freedom to be used as an excuse for bad behavior. Reagle further supports efforts to form female-only subcultures within the geek community, which opponents argue goes against the free software value of openness.
