Raising Healthy Mothers
{10.7} How to Talk to Kids About Where Meat Comes From

Raising Healthy Mothers

How much do you talk to your children about where food comes from? This was a question I hadn't thought about much until someone posed a question about separating the imagery of an idyllic farm in the books we read to our children from the realities of animal husbandry. It got me thinking hard - because as a passionate sustainable meat advocate, I care deeply about my meat. Where does meat comes from? How is it reared? How has it been treated? Is it healthy to eat? How much should we eat? How is it produced? Is it bad for the environment? These are all questions I have thought about, changed my mind about and grappled with over the years. It is a question that has been close to my heart ever since my Paleo days, when I started becoming interested in food. So in this episode on Raising Healthy Mothers I'm tackling the issue of how to talk to our children about meat – and realise in the process that it's very little to do with the meat itself and much more to do with our values and what we want our family to value. I discuss... The environmental impact of vegan food in agriculture and why it's important to have that conversation too. What's really important when it comes to choosing meat, and how to balance different priorities of cost and values How I talk to my children about eating meat – and why it's become difficult since moving out of London What sustainable animal farming means to me, and the hierarchy of importance according to my personal values The wider question of whether sustainable farming can feed the world The question of privilege in having a choice about the meat we choose to eat – and whether the choices you might feel forced to make is a short-term one. This is one of those episodes that might ruffle some feathers as I'm sure many people out there have a different opinion to me. If you do have an opposing view point then I'd love to hear from you – and if you agree with me then let me know too! Other podcast episodes I refer to: {10.4} What the heck is ultra-processed food and what should I do about it? {8.4} Eating well on a budget: 6 steps to feed your family without. breaking the bank {7.5} Should I continue being vegan? {3.3} How to optimise a plant-based diet in motherhood Recommended Instagram account on sustainable farming: @sustainabledish I expect this podcast will spark debate so if you have something to add, I'd love to hear from you!

This week, Chris Wright interviews Lisa Gordon. Lisa has been a top business executive for over 25 years. As a technology specialist, she has surfed the wave of the technological revolution from the infancy of the internet to this day where she is Chairman of Cavendish, the merger of Cenkos and FinnCap, a non-Exec at Alpha Group Intl - one of the fastest growth of companies listed on the UK Stock Exchange, as well as holding several other major non-Exec and advisory positions. The conversation starts with Chris and Lisa's work together at Chrysalis where they were at the forefront of technological change in the industry. They shine a light on what personal attributes caused their huge business success, and what led to their occasional failures. The second half turns to the country at large where Lisa provides some fascinating observations from her perspective as a business insider. They tackle the issue of sexism and all kinds of discrimination in the workplace, what can be done to ensure diversity and why it's so important for business as well as social mobility. The topics are: -           How Chris gave Lisa her biggest career break-           How Lisa and Chris could have been Google, and why it all went wrong-           How technology has impacted the business of music-           The power and limitations of the City of London-           What's wrong with business today and how to fix it-           The key guidelines for being successful in business-           How to foster gender diversity in the workplace and the importance of childcare-           Politics and Britain's position on the world stage-           What Sunak should have done with HS2-           Meeting Gordon Brown and how he stays hopeful about politics   We'd love to hear what you think of the episode at email@wrightonthenail.fm, or get in touch if you just want to say hi! Yours faithfully, WOTN Team 'I Hit The Nail Right On The Head' by Billy Bremner. © Fridens liljor/Micke Finell.Rock around the clock productions AB.www.rockaroundtheclock.co This episode was produced by Tom Platts This podcast is published by New Thinking: www.newthinking.com Explore New Thinking podcasts via our website: www.newthinking.com/podcasts

Today we are excited to talk about one of our favorite International locations - London, UK. For us, London is one of those places we can visit over and over again never doing the same thing twice, unless we want to. If you've been to London before, don't worry, we are going to have some tips that will benefit whether this is your first visit or if you have been multiple times before. So pack your bags, grab your passport and let's get started on visiting London. In this episode we discuss: -Arriving in London & Navigating Heathrow Airport -Where to Stay in London -What to do in London on a First Visit (then a Second & Third Visit) -Eating in London (including when you need to book ahead) -Where to have High Tea in London -Getting Around London -Day Trips Outside London -Tours in London -Money -Our Suggested Packing List for London Episode Links: Uplift App to Eliminate Jet Lag Hotels we recommend in the vicinity of Paddington Station This time we stayed at London Marriott Hotel Marble Arch We've also stayed at Sheraton Grand London Park Lane, which is right across from Green Park and near Buckingham Palace and close to the Green Park Underground Station. The first time we visited London we purchased the London City Pass by Go City which offers really great value for seeing a number of the attractions we recommend. Kew Gardens Afternoon Tea locations Fortnum & Mason - I love Fortnum & Mason tea so this was the perfect experience for me. Book online and come hungry as you can get a refill of anything you want. Bucket List Tea - The Ritz Claridges Harrods Afternoon Tea - pair this with a visit to this iconic department store - we actually had dinner at the Pizzeria & Pasqua located on the 2nd floor this last visit and really enjoyed it! There are afternoon teas in most hotels and in a lot of hotel restaurants including the famous Ivy with several locations in London and more opening in towns surrounding London such as Windsor and Richmond. Other Recommended Tours - as mentioned in several episodes we have booked lots of tours through Viator in several destinations around the world including Italy, Spain, Portugal, Mexico and have used them to book cruise excursions. We have partnered with Viator to bring you the following links. If you book using these links we may receive a small commission that helps us to provide you with this travel content. Inside London Harry Potter fans might enjoy the Harry Potter London Tour. We saw some people on this tour in Leadenhall Market, the location of the Leaky Cauldron in the first movie. Outside London We are planning another episode for outside London but some of our favorite places are listed below. We have either taken the train or had a car and explored them on our own but I've know lots of people to take them as day trips as a part of a tour to make logistics easier. Some of these tours combine more than one of these locations.

This week I'm chatting with Camilla, an Advertising Account Director and Founder of Cantik by Camilla and we're talking all about stress and burnout. Camilla lives in Bali and comes from a corporate advertising background. She suffered severe exhaustion and stress after being pushed to the limit in her corporate job in London that she actually collapsed at work. This led her to re-evaluating her priorities and she moved to Bali, got a remote job and started her own business. Learn how she came to work part time and earn MORE than she did working full-time in London. Not all high paying jobs are found in the city anymore! As high achieving women so many of us push and push ourselves and ignore the signals our bodies are telling us. It's not that we can't do it, of course we can. It should be a matter of whether we want to do it and whether our bodies feel good in that environment. I'm so excited for you to hear Camilla's story because she proves that you don't have to trade your health for a high income and living on a tropical island, that there is another way! We discuss: Burnout and being a high achiever How to recognise the signals How to define your non-negotiables and set boundaries with your work How to work part time from Bali and earn more than in London What to do if you realise your body is saying no to the stresses of your environment Want to learn what it's like to be a digital nomad in Bali?

Craig Sullivan is an entrepreneur with true passion for property and is also known from his Instagram alias of 'Property Apprentice' which is notorious for early morning motivational sing-songs, videos and "BIG UP THE GRAFTERS!".He purchased his first property at auction at the age of just 20 and has developed his property portfolio in the South-East, leaving his corporate job and pursuing property full-time at the age of 28. He studied Business at degree level but after attending his placement year he decided not to go back and has worked in Sales roles for major media companies such as Disney, Warner Brothers and Viacom. During this time, he purchased his second property (again from auction) of which was documented by the BBC and appeared on their hit show ‘Homes Under the Hammer’ (YouTube link - HERE).After achieving great results and feedback from these investments, he soon came to realise that there was a gap in the market for high-end student properties and began to replicate his business model; buying below market value properties, adding value cost effectively, securing good tenants and refinancing to repeat the process.As his personal portfolio was growing, he was approached by local landlords to manage their properties too. Craig immediately agreed and after some cheap flyers and a DIY website, his Letting agency was born. That Letting agency is now the largest provider of Student Houses in Medway, overtaking High Street names and local businesses who have been in the market for 25+ years.Craig was also nominated for Business Excellence in the Kent Independent Traders Awards 2016 where he received runner up in ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’ and ‘Growth Business of the Year’ categories.He has appeared on multiple property Podcasts and is also a regular speaker on local TV Station KMTV, where he is asked to comment on recent property headlines and topics.

So now I’m going to get some sappy tour of Church architecture by a typical Anglican who will explain away the empty churches with some cultural psycho babble.

Four Savills experts discuss the outlook for the prime UK residential sales and lettings markets in this podcast recorded just a few days after the government announced the ‘reopening’ of the housing market in England. They explore some of the most frequently asked questions in what undoubtedly remains a period of intense uncertainty.What impact has lockdown had on what buyers and tenants want in their homes, and how that might impact when and how properties are marketed? Will the expected increased demand for country properties become reality and where does that leave prime London? What will happen to pricing over the coming months and beyond, and are buyer and seller expectations aligned?Early demand indicators across the prime markets give cause for optimism. Levels of inquiries through the Savills website reached a new daily high on the day after the government’s announcement and surpassed that level on Tuesday of this week. This is translating into viewings, which are now up to around 80 per cent of normal levels and that while the Scottish and Welsh markets remain closed to in-person viewings. It remains to be seen whether buyer and seller expectations stay aligned so that expressions of interest turn into transactional activity.In conversation with Guy Ruddle, you will hear from the following Savills voices recorded remotely: Andrew Perratt, head of country residential; Claire Reynolds, co-head of prime central London; Izzy Birch Reynardson, head of super prime lettings; and Lucian Cook, head of residential research.

Early in her career, Austin native, Callie Speer, influenced the pastry and bread program for Parkside under Shawn Cirkiel. Her experience also includes working as the pastry chef for Chameleon Group, and as the executive pastry chef for the Hotel Van Zandt. In 2013, she was nominated for Food and Wine Magazine's “People's Best New Pastry Chef”. In 2015, she was awarded Pastry Chef of the Year by Culture map. Equipped with experience, acclaim, and passion, Speer set out to open Holy Roller in 2017, which instantly became and continues to be a staple in the Austin dinning scene. Shortly after opening Holy Roller Speer won Eater Austin's Chef of the year Award. Show notes… Favorite success quote or mantra: "Show up." In this episode with Callie Speer, we discuss: How and why Speer got into the industry. Every master was once a disaster. Dive in. It is the only way you'll get better. How Speer lied about her ability, a few times, to get the job. Fake it till you make it. How Speer learned about high standards working for Shawn Cirkiel. Knowing this career path isn't going to be easy and being OK with that. Keeping your calm in disastrous situations. Compartmentalizing the aspects of your life, and knowing that it is OK to want other aspect of your life that work. Why you should never serve something that looks like poop, no matter how good and unlike poop it may tastes. Keeping your calm during stressful situations. If you lose your shit as a leader, you'll cause everyone else to lose their shit. Once you take a leadership role and earn a certain level of  acclaim, you have a responsibility to pay it forward to those who come to work for you. If you party, think about yourself, and leave nothing in the tank for those who want to learn from you, you're being selfish. How Speers life turned around once she got sober. The story behind how Speer opened Holy Roller. Taking care of what you do have, not what you want to have. The power of giving your people creative freedom and how that contributes to authenticity.

Welcome to the PRmoment Podcast. This week on the PRmoment Podcast I’m pleased to welcome founder and MD of Cow PR Sian Morgan. Cow PR is a circa £3m fee income consumer PR shop in London. What’s interesting about Cow is that despite its relatively small size - it punches well above its weight creatively, and has done for basically the last 18 years so I want to discover from Sian how they have managed to do this. Here is a flavour of what I discuss with Sian: How Sian has managed the ups and downs of running her own business for the last 18 years through a couple of recessions Sian talks about how 8 years ago an office move almost spelt the end for Cow How Sian dealt with the stress of having breast cancer and running her own business Why having a business partner doesn't need to last forever How PR creative legends like Dan Glover, Mark Perkins and Matt Wilcock have all started their careers at Cow Why Sian would never hire a creative director - for Cow they need to be homegrown How Cow has retained its creative excellence over 18 years across a range of clients Why humour is a vital part of creative communications How Sian went from a “Tom Jones” groupie to setting up Cow How Sian learnt different things at Cohn & Wolfe, Red and Weber before setting up Cow Sian gives her thoughts on creative process and the genesis of creative ideas How the “creatives pairs” process works when dissecting a brief Why creativity is really hard work How ideas take time to mature Why creatives are able to take a different look at a brief Sian identifies what she looks for when identifying creative talent Why the wrong type of client will stifle creativity How over a 27 year career Sian has met less than 5 true creatives Why Sian believes creatives don’t come from PR, they come from brand What is it about Cow’s culture that has enabled it to punch above its weight creatively in London What does Cow do to help its people come up with interesting ideas Why Sian doesn't believe PR can get passionate about PR Why a lack of confidence can be crippling to coming up with creative ideas How the best creative ideas are really simple How PRs lack of measurement confidence is impacting how much consumer PR firms are able to charge for their ideas

Christ Redeemer Church » Sermons

REFLECTION QUOTES “He was an embittered atheist (the sort of atheist who does not so much disbelieve in God as personally dislike Him)….” ~George Orwell (1903-1950), Down and Out in Paris and London “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us…. This is true not only of the individual Christian, but of the company of Christians that composes the Church. Always the most revealing thing about the Church is her idea of God.” “What we think about when we are free to think about what we will – that is what we are or will soon become.” ~A.W. Tozer (1897-1963), American pastor and author “Man is one of your creatures, Lord, and his instinct is to praise you…. The thought of you stirs him so deeply that he cannot be content unless he praises you, because you made us for yourself and our hearts find no peace until they rest in you….” “But my sin was this, that I looked for pleasure, beauty, and truth not in him but in myself and his other creatures, and the search led me instead to pain, confusion, and error.” ~St. Augustine (354-430) in Confessions “There's a difference between knowing God and knowing about God.” ~J. I. Packer (1926-present), British-born theologian “I can safely say, on the authority of all that is revealed in the Word of God, that any man or woman…who is bored and turned off by worship is not ready for heaven.” ~A.W. Tozer (1897-1963), American pastor and author SERMON PASSAGE Psalm 111 (NASB) 1Praise the Lord! I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart, In the company of the upright and in the assembly. 2 Great are the works of the Lord; They are studied by all who delight in them. 3 Splendid and majestic is His work, And His righteousness endures forever. 4 He has made His wonders to be remembered; The Lord is gracious and compassionate. 5 He has given food to those who fear Him; He will remember His covenant forever. 6 He has made known to His people the power of His works, In giving them the heritage of the nations. 7 The works of His hands are truth and justice; All His precepts are sure. 8 They are upheld forever and ever; They are performed in truth and uprightness. 9 He has sent redemption to His people; He has ordained His covenant forever; Holy and awesome is His name. 10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments; His praise endures forever. Psalm 112 (NASB) 1 Praise the Lord! How blessed is the man who fears the Lord, Who greatly delights in His commandments. 2 His descendants will be mighty on earth; The generation of the upright will be blessed. 3 Wealth and riches are in his house, And his righteousness endures forever. 4 Light arises in the darkness for the upright; He is gracious and compassionate and righteous. 5 It is well with the man who is gracious and lends; He will maintain his cause in judgment. 6 For he will never be shaken; The righteous will be remembered forever. 7 He will not fear evil tidings; His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord. 8 His heart is upheld, he will not fear, Until he looks with satisfaction on his adversaries. 9 He has given freely to the poor, His righteousness endures forever; His horn will be exalted in honor. 10 The wicked will see it and be vexed, He will gnash his teeth and melt away; The desire of the wicked will perish.

Learn English free with podcasts from La Mansion del Ingles. Improve your grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation. This English lesson contains examples and exercises. Podcast Transcription  Hi and welcome to another Mansión Inglés podcast from mansióninglés.com, recorded for April 2010. Thank you for all your positive feedback and comments on last month’s newsletter. Gracias por sus amables palabras sobre el cuaderno del mes pasado. Especialmente en nuestra página de Facebook. Si quieres seguirnos y participar en la página, busca La Mansión del Inglés desde tu cuenta de Facebook.   OK, let’s practise some irregular verbs. Vamos a practicar algunos verbos irregulares en inglés.   Cuando hablo Español, es muy difícil para mi saber cuando hay que decir el verbo ser o estar. En inglés es más fácil porque solo hay un verbo. Es el verbo to be. Escucha y repite: be – was/were – been El verbo golpear is to beat – beat – beat – beaten El verbo llegar a ser is  to become - become – became – became Empezar to begin – begin - began – begun Morder bite – bite - bit – bitten El verbo soplar blow - blow – blew – blown El verbo romper is to break - break – broke – broken Traer/llevar is to bring - bring – brought – brought Edificar is to build - build – built – built Quemar is to burn. There are two possible forms for the past and participle of burn. Hay dos formas posibles – burnt – BURNT or burned – BURNED. Repeat: to burn – burn - burnt / burned - burnt / burned   Ahora escucha de nuevo y intenta decir el segundo y tercero forma del verbo antes que lo digo yo.   be –                                 was / were – been beat –                              beat – beaten become –                         became – became begin –                             began – begun bite –                               bit – bitten blow –                              blew – blown break –                            broke – broken bring –                             brought – brought build –                              built – built burn –                              burnt / burned – burnt / burned       Now let’s practise some idioms. Idioms are spoken or written sentences where the meaning is not always obvious from the individual words used.   For example, My hands are tied means I have no choice. I can’t help you my hands are tied. Repeat: I’m sorry, my hands are tied. Tied – atado - to tie. Repeat: I’m sorry, my hands are tied. I’m afraid my hands are tied.   Hold your horses means that you are doing something too fast and they would like you to slow down. Hold your horses, will you! Just wait a minute. Repeat: Wait a minute, just hold your horses.   If you swallow your pride, you admit that you have been wrong about something or someone. You accept that you have to do something that is embarrassing. Swallow means tragar in Spanish and pride is orgullo. Repeat: Swallow your pride and apologise to her. I had to swallow my pride.   People who burn the candle at both ends work all hours of the day and night. They get little sleep or rest because they are busy until late every night and then get up early every morning. Repeat: She's burning the candle at both ends studying for her exams.   If something fishy is going on, then something suspicious is happening. If something is going on, algo esta pasando What’s going on? ¿Qué ocurre? Fishy can mean suspicious. For example: There are strange noises coming from David’s bedroom. Something fishy’s going on in there. Repeat: There’s something very fishy going on.   If someone is a dark horse, they are secretive and might surprise you. Like a dark horse in a horse race. Repeat: She’s a dark horse that one!   If you kill two birds with one stone you do two things at once. To kill is matar and a stone is una piedra.I saw some friends when I was in Madrid visiting my parents. I killed two birds with one stone. Repeat: I killed two birds with one stone.   A can of worms is a situation which causes a lot of trouble for you when you start to deal with it. A can is una lata and worms are gusanos. So, if you open up a can of worms, you cause a lot of trouble for yourself. Repeat: If you do that, you open up a can of worms. You’re opening a can of worms, you know.   If you let the cat out of the bag, pones en el aire lo que esta escondido. You reveal a secret or a surprise by accident. I was trying to keep the party a secret, but Sarah went and let the cat out of the bag. Repeat: Don’t say anything. Don’t tell anyone. Don’t let the cat out of the bag.   If someone looks like a million dollars, they look fantastic. Wow! I love that dress, you look like a million dollars. Repeat: You look like a million dollars. It’s officially spring now - estamos ya en la primavera oficialmente - and maybe you’re starting to think about your holidays. I know I am. So, let’s practise some holiday vocabulary.   When you travel by ship and stop at different places you go on a cruise. C-R-U-I-S-E. Be careful of the pronunciation. Listen: cruise, like Tom Cruise. Repeat: cruise. I’m going on a cruise. Notice the expression to go on. We go on holiday, we go on a trip, on a business trip. Repeat: I’m going on a trip to Barcelona. When are you going on your Mediterranean cruise? How often do you go on business trips?   Going on a trip is when you go somewhere, stay there and come back (on business or on holiday). It’s probably more common to say “go on a trip” than “travel”. Trip is a countable noun, travel is uncountable. “I went on a trip to Paris” – no se dice XI went on a travelX)   When you travel by plane you take a flight. Flight is a noun. The verb is to fly. Repeat: What time’s your flight? Did you find a cheap flight? Who are you flying with?   A tour is when you visit several places following an organised plan. Last year we went to Egypt on a package tour. A package tour is when the flights, hotels, transportation etc are included in the price.   When you travel a long way by sea, or in space, it’s called a voyage. “They embarked on a voyage across the sea.” – se fueron de viaje por mar.   When you travel from place to place by road, train etc. you go on a journey. Un viaje en train is a train journey. How long is the journey from Barcelona to Valencia? Repeat: How long is the journey from Barcelona to Valencia? Is it a long journey?   Now listen to, and repeat, the following holiday collocations:   Sea - deep blue sea, calm sea, cold sea, rough sea (a rough sea is agitado, picado the opposite of a rough sea is a calm sea)   tour - coach tour, sightseeing tour, package tour , guided tour (if you go sightseeing, haces turismo. – I went sightseeing in Paris. The sights are the famous and interesting things in a city. What are the sights in Paris? The Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre, the Champs-Elysees. To see them is to go sightseeing. Repeat: go sightseeing. I went sightseeing in London. I saw all the sights. What are the sights in London? What’s the name of that big clock? Big Ben. What’s the name of that famous department store where the Queen goes shopping? Harrods. What’s the name of that big house where the Queen lives? Buckingham Palace. Where do David and Victoria Beckham live? Beckingham Palace!   holiday - summer holiday, package holiday, beach holiday, adventure holiday   trip coach trip (what’s the difference between coach and bus? A coach is usually for longer journeys, maybe from one city to another city. A bus is for travelling inside a city, for shorter journeys. A coach is usually more comfortable than a bus.) Repeat: We’re going on a coach trip. It’s cheaper to take a coach than a train, boat trip – a boat trip on the River Thames, day trip, business trip   resort (a resort is un centro turístico) - holiday resort, tourist resort, seaside resort, popular resort (seaside means playa, costa. I love going to seaside resorts – but not in England, the weather’s terrible!)   beach – a crowded beach (a crowded beach es una playa llena de gente Repeat: It’s crowded. The beach is crowded. It’s a crowded beach.) golden beach, sandy beach (sand is arena, so the adjective sandy means arenoso) repeat: a sandy beach, deserted beach (deserted means desierto o abandanado)     In the advanced section this month, we practised writing cleft sentences. Listen to the examples and repeat the sentences.   It was Bram Stoker who wrote Dracula in 1897. It was in 1897 that Bram Stoker wrote Dracula. It was Dracula that Bram Stoker wrote in 1897.   What people really love is Baloo the bear. Baloo the bear is what people really love. It is Baloo the bear that people really love.   What this bear is called is Baloo. Baloo is what this bear is called. This bear is called Baloo.   Most sightings have been reported in the Indian Jungle. It is (in) the Indian Jungle where most sightings have been reported. The Indian Jungle is where most sightings have been reported.   Suddenly the bear appeared out of nowhere. Suddenly, from out of nowhere, the bear appeared.   Right there in front of me danced the cuddly bear. It was the cuddly bear that danced right there in front of me.   What I didn’t expect to see in the jungle was a dancing bear. A dancing bear was the last thing I expected to see in the jungle.   In the business English section this month, there was an exercise to practise abbreviations in business English. Listen to the abbreviations and try to say what they stand for before I say them.   AGM - Annual General Meeting CEO - Chief Executive Officer COB - Chairman Of the Board a/c account ASAP - as soon as possible ATM - automated teller machine (Am. English - cash dispenser, Br. English – cashpoint) Attn - for the attention of cc - copy to Co - company COD - cash on delivery dept - department ETA - estimated time of arrival GDP - gross domestic product GNP - gross national product Inc - incorporated Jr - junior Ltd - limited company N/A - not applicable NB - Nota Bene (Latin - it is important to note) PA - personal assistant p.a. - per annum (Latin - per year) p.w. - per week Plc - public limited company p.p. - per pro (Latin - used before signing in a person's absence) PR - public relations p.s. - post scriptum (Latin – in Spanish posdata P.D.) pto - please turn over qty - quantity R & D - research and development re - with reference to RSVP - repondez s'il vous plait (French - please reply) VAT - value added tax VIP - very important person   Well, that’s it for this month.
