How do I find organic and sustainable suppliers in the Cincinnati area?
In particular, I’d like to find a caterer that uses organic and/or sustainably-supplied foods. Does anyone know of a company or restaurant, or have tips on how to find one? Thanks!
The Expert answers:
Http://www.oeffa.org has a few people listed in the Cincy area but where you will find a wealth of information and contacts is the Cincinnati Locavore group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CinciLocavore/. This is a very active and growing group of local eaters, farmers, restaurants and other people interested in eating/living locally in SW Ohio. They have a large data base of organic/local businesses and farms on this website.

What would be the best way to solve world hunger (in a sustainable way)?
I mean, not just “send loadsa food over there lol”, but ways that will reduce dependency on others for food and serious points.
The Expert answers:
Criminy, what’s gonna be your next easy question—“best way to world peace?”
We’re going to need projects that work in lo-technology ways (that don’t depend on a lot of fancy chemicals or machinery), that are tough to subvert (i.e., steal/hijack/corrupt), that can be self-sustaining (appropriate to the local environment), and that DON’T completely throw local economies/customs into chaos. (If everyone in the village is growing tomatoes, they’re not gonna be a great cash crop….)
For a simple beginning, I agree with the poster who recommended the Heifer Project. Getting a chance for a good animal that’s appropriate for the area (and passing along the offspring to another poor family) can make a small dent in the problem. We gotta start somewhere….

IDEA: Would you use a company that can deliver picnic food &supplies to location of your?
How many people even go on picnics now a days? I know that I hate having to get everything put together and arguing with family members or worrying about whether a friend will remember to bring supplies with them. But would someone be more inclined to have more picnics if they knew there was such a business that was affordable sustainable and would deliver all the supplies needed to you. I’m thinking like a beach /park location. Or if anyone as any suggestions please let me know…
The Expert answers:
If you live in a place where it is scenic enough for people to want to spend their time outside, it is a great idea. Even in winter, cross country skiers need to eat. We used to offer the use of a picnic basket and sell the makings of a picnic near the shores of the Mississippi River. We kept a driver’s license for the loan of the basket and charged for the food. You could also get a deposit for the loan of the equipment.

what’s the fastest way to gain sustainable muscle mass via diet and exercise?
want to know the best foods (or suplements) to eat to gain size in my upper body.
The Expert answers:
The first step is eating 5 or 6 smaller meals per day. Try to eat foods high in carbs and protein (peanut butter, sandwiches, eggs, and yogurt). Next is having a solid weight training program. Finally if you have the first two in place supplements will enhance your gains. Start off with a good multi-vitamin (commonly neglected), a good weightgainer protein (prolab n-large II), a solid creatine product, and a good glutamine. For all of these supplements look around for the best values, you don’t necessarily need big brand names. Find value products that work (look in bodybuilding forums).
