Two weeks ago, three brave souls embarked on a personal journey of the most intimate nature: a diet. Joe, Jimmy, and Justin set out in the name of food and health to find out what happens when their guts stops being polite and start being real.

A fine Merlot, perhaps a tangy Shiraz, maybe a nice Cabernet… grab your baguettes and cheese, it’s time for a wine tasting! Only this time, in the name of green living (and drinking), we’re ditching the bottle and grabbing the wine in a box. Or, more accurately, the wine in a bag-in-a-box. While boxed wine may conjure up images of campgrounds and “parents out of town for the weekend” ragers, its bulk size, long shelf life, and reduced shipping weight are good news for the environment.

There's no question that we're a society obsessed with food. Are we eating the right thing? The wrong thing? Too much? Too little? Should we gnosh on fast food, slow food, or moderately paced food? To meat, or not to meat? Local, organic, vegetarian, low-carb, wheat-free, frozen, fresh...who's to say what's right?

Here at IzzitGreen, we believe in finding out for ourselves, especially if that means conducting a few self-imposed dietary experiments. After all, if Oprah could go on a 21-day vegan detox cleanse, why not us?

My wife and I were taking a day hike through IKEA recently, when I turned to her in the kitchen section and said, “Let’s just do it.” Her eyes lit up, and I said, “You know, I am tired of talking about it; let’s buy this kitchen compost waste pail”. Yes, I am that romantic and so started us down the path of composting.
