Everdale Farms


As an organic farmer, it is their job to make sure all food that is grown is in the best condition it can be. I never realized how much of an impact locally grown food has on consumers; the food is usually pesticide free, and never includes preservatives. Often times eating locally will mean the food is more rich in flavor and the food is picked at the peak of its ripeness because of the care the farmers take in their food. Eating locally also means you are going to be the food that is in season, meaning you will be getting the food, which is in the best season. Locally grown food can also mean there are more nutrients in the fruits and vegetables compared to food that has been grown in other countries or provinces which have a longer picking time. Locally grown food is also very environmentally friendly because it contributes to the soil and to the grass on the farm.

This blog follows a young mother of two and her experiments in the kitchen, which will usually involve healthy and clean ingredients in the recipes.

This blog is all about eating green and vegetarian and putting only the best food in your body.

Much like the other blog posted above, this blog likes to follow a clean and healthy outlook on cooking involving simple recipes.

Satirical News Anchor: Jimmy Kimmel


One of my favorite satirical news broadcasters of the moment is Jimmy Kimmel. Jimmy Kimmel is an American comedian, actor, and television host. His show ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ has been airing since 2003, and has had great success in both America and Canada. Kimmel’s show involves interviews with famous celebrities, asking questions to the public, watching viral videos and much more. One of Kimmel’s most popular segments involves challenges being sent out to his audience, and having the challenges being filmed where they will then be aired on the show. His most famous challenge being ‘I Told My Kid I Ate All Their Halloween Candy,’ where the parents then told their kids they ate their Halloween candy, and then filmed their reaction. Although Jimmy Kimmel’s show is very similar to other talk show hosts such as Jay Leno and George Lopez, I find Kimmel to have a more carefree humor which comes across as very real to the audience. Much of the time Jimmy Kimmel won’t use offense comedy, and will keep the subject matter light and interesting for the viewers. Many newscasters today will discuss harsh subject matter where they judge certain celebrities based on their actions or on their appearances. To me this can be very distasteful and unfair to many celebrities. I believe Jimmy Kimmel is an excellent newscaster and has created a excellent talk show.
