Ana Joanes Interviewed on Huffington Post
Ana Joanes was interviewed by Kerry Truman, Co-Founder of EatingLiberally.org on the Huffington Post recently.
The front yard farming phenomenon is so hot now that People magazine recently did a story on it, “From Lawn to Lunch.” But when Michelle Obama tore up a patch of the White House lawn to plant a kitchen garden, she inadvertently fertilized another growing movement: a flourishing Agribiz campaign to portray kitchen gardeners and ‘good food movement’ advocates as dangerous zealots out to shove fresh, untainted, ie. aggressively wholesome foods down America’s collective throat and force us all to grow our own veggies–all without benefit of pesticides or chemicals.

Ana Joanes on Huffington Post: New Thinking on What We're Eating
Ana Joanes writes on Huffington Post about giving birth to FRESH and the coming birth of her first child. Here’s what she writes:
I’m six-months pregnant. And about to give birth to a movie, Fresh (I think the proper term is release.) I’m ready to let this baby out into the world, but I’m not so sure I’m ready for the other, the crying-pampers-changing- 24/7-for-the-next-20-years baby.
Making a movie might or might not be a good preparation for motherhood (filmmakers out there: comments, thoughts?) but Fresh sure changed the way I feed myself during pregnancy and how I’ll feed my baby. It’s changed the way I approach life.
