Dada takes its name seriously, using its colorful ambience and irreverent culinary creations to give a playful nod to the art movement it is named for. No need to worry about high-brow here, Dada is definitely good eats. Appetizers include the grilled brie with toasted ciabatta bread and fruit and the watermelon brulee "steak" salad with feta and basil pesto oil. The simple, yet inventive culinary spins continue with house entrees, such as the Indian vegan stew, the blackened redfish in herb brown butter and the seven cheese grilled cheese served with tangy tomato bisque. Dada also makes an adult version of the childhood favorite, s'mores. Graham cracker crust layered with chocolate mousse and marshmallow meringue make for the perfect end to

When Michael Pollan's book The Omnivore's Dilemma was published, many readers began questioning him for advice on what they should eat in order to stay healthy. In his more recent book, In Defense of Food, he responds with three rules, "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants"(Pollan 1). This seven word response seems too simple for a relatively complicated question, but as he further elaborates these rules into specific guidelines, this summary turns out to be surprisingly complete. Using inductive and deductive reasoning, he debunks the ideas behind nutritionism and food science, and proves that the western diet is the cause for food related diseases. Inductive reasoning is when a
Most Americans love the low cost, prepackaged, great tasting food that is convenient to buy and prepare. These prepackaged or processed foods are normally made to be faster, cheaper and usually taste great but they are loaded with bizarre, unpronounceable chemicals that, if you saw them in their pre-processed state, you would never consider putting in your mouth. Emulsifiers, preservatives, colorants, stabilizers, artificial sweeteners, texturizers and even bleach can be found in most processed foods. On average, Americans spend 90% of their food budget on these types of foods which is found to contribute to the leading causes of obesity, auto immune disease, diabetes and even cancer.

Have you ever felt good about the buying organic food from Whole Foods because it’s healthier? Among the white affluent community going “organic” are the newest trends among hip young people. What they don’t tell you is, the organic cheese you bought actually came from prison workers. In a news article recently published by ABC, Whole Foods was discovered to hire private prison companies that provide cheap prison labor. After all who is advocating for prisoner’s rights? The Whole Foods story is one of many that support my claim that the prison industrial complex only serves the white elite in this country. By incarcerating people of color disproportionally (and poor whites), then putting them to work for meager wages, the enslavement of people

When something is detrimental to our health, we strive to avoid it whenever possible to extend our lives. We know that exposure to known cancer causing agents such as asbestos and lead paint is harmful; therefore, we do not expose ourselves to the risk and we certainly do not eat it. This seems simple; however, what do we do when that harmful vice is food? We cannot stop eating; instead, we must closely examine what we are putting into our bodies.
