Healthy, ethical, and sustainable food for all. Turnips may not be cool like cucumbers or sexy like cauliflower, but they’re humble and hardworking root vegetables that have sustained human civilizations for millennia. And the more we know about turnips, the more impressive their nutritional and health benefits become. So why are turnips so good for us, and how can we prepare them in ways that make us look forward to seeing them on our plates? For some reason, turnips are less popular than many other root vegetables (except, apparently, in Vermont where the Gilfeather turnip is the official state vegetable). I get why we love our potatoes and carrots and beets. And even radishes get some salad love. But what about the humble, homely turnip? Why isn’t it getting its culinary due? One reason might be its hybrid nature. The turnip is a carbohydrate-rich root vegetable, but not as full of calories (and hence not as sweet) as some of the starchier or more sugary roots. It’s also...

Food Revolution Network: What to Eat (and Drink) for Better Sleep A good night’s sleep is one of the foundations of health. Yet our modern lifestyles can undermine our sleep, which can lead to fatigue and set the stage for low moods and chronic disease. The good news is that the latest research tells us there are proven steps you can take to improve your sleep — starting with what you eat and drink. Thomas Edison hated sleep. Sleeping, he argued, was unproductive, while working was productive. He grudgingly gave himself four hours a night, and insisted that his employees do the same, arguing that it was only those willing to stay awake all hours who would come out on top in a technologically advancing world. Edison’s legacy is still with us in two ways. First, the ethos of “manly wakefulness” still pervades much of our culture, especially our worship of startup founders who consume nothing but Red Bull and Snickers while coding, unblinking, 36 hours a day for five years str...
