I am a yogini who loves local food. This blog is an exploration of the local food, mostly in Portland, Oregon, and all things yoga; including general yogi health.

Chronic Users
Some fun facts about chronic usage from nutrition class:
Chronic consumers of potato chips (160 g/day) significantly increase their chance of atherosclerosis when all other factors are accounted for.
Chronic bean consumption (20 g/day, at least 4x a week) with all other factors accounted for reduce their mortality rates by 7-8% from all causes. Further, for each 20 grams of daily bean intake, you can decrease your mortality by an additional 7-8%.
So, ditch your processed, likely un-local chips and embrace your local bean farmer. I heart beans!
