Can RFK Jr Make America Healthy Again?

Image
     Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been chosen by President Trump to oversee the Department of Health and Human Services. Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. or RFK Jr. as he’s affectionately nicknamed, hails from the very promininent and politically involved Kennedy family. He has a great legacy to uphold as the Kennedy family has so strongly and positively impacted the historical and political landscape of the United States. That family has experienced so much tragedy amongst its members but they’ve managed to overcome. The matriarch and patriarch of the Kennedy family, Joseph and Rose must be smiling down with joy about the impact that their entire lineage has made on society. RFK Jr. is an environmentalist that has been a leading figure in the mission to protect the planet and could be considered a Godfather of environmentalism due to all of his environmentally focused work and generous efforts to create change within the field.

Mosaic Foods Review...Better than Daily Harvest?

I learned about Mosaic Foods via a Google Ad 🤷🏾‍♀️..  Mosaic Foods is a plant based meal delivery program which is based here in Brooklyn, NY.  Mosaic was founded by two longtime friends who are on a simple mission: To Put Good Food on Every Table.  The meals truly are made of simply, easily pronounced ingredients from fruits, vegetables and grains.  Mosaic customers have the option to receive weekly, bi-weekly or monthly deliveries of plant based meals.  Customers can select from approximately 40 selections: oat bowls, veggie bowls and soups. Aside from the basic plant based meals, they have a Mosaic+ category. Meals in this category are prepared by gourmet chefs who create recipes influenced by their culinary expertise.




I received a box of nine meals.  The entrees that I chose were:

Mac N Greens (Mosaic +)

Veggie Sausage & Gouda Oats

Curried Lentil Soup

Mushroom & Truffle Risotto

Jerk Lentil & Plantain bowl 

The stand out entrees in my opinion were the Mac N Greens and Jerk Lentil & Plantain bowl.  It was refreshing to see a meal with Caribbean influence.  The jerk flavor was not strong and the sweet plantains meshed very well with the coconut rice and lentils.  If you like Macaroni & Cheese, then you will love the Mac n Greens entree. I'd have never thought to put greens such as broccolini and spinach or even brussels sprouts in macaroni and cheese but it was surprisingly really tasty. This entree is from Mosaic's + section and Chef Greg Baxtrom partnered with Mosaic to create it. He's worked at Michelin starred restaurants such as Blue Hill at Stone Barns and Per Se and moved on to establish American contemporary restaurant, Olmsted in Brooklyn.




The other dishes were also very enjoyable.  The veggie sausage and gouda oats was a unique spin on your average oat bowl and I would certainly order this many times if I could. 




Heck, I may even attempt to re-create it on my own! It was definitely a good, light breakfast option.

My least favorite was the Spicy Sichaun Soba.  It wasn't really spicy and I thought it was a bit lacking in flavor. 




Comparing Daily Harvest & Mosaic Foods

Since I've tried a similar meal delivery company (Daily Harvest), I thought that some may appreciate a comparison. To put it simply (and this is MY opinion) Mosaic Foods does taste better than Daily Harvest and they provide more options where hearty plant based meals are concerned.  Daily Harvest mostly has smoothies and a few oat bowls and soups. Their flat breads are their best food option. For the price of $8 which is the charge for one of their smoothie cups, I can make ten smoothies from my own recipe.  Daily Harvest is also completely vegan rather than Mosaic which has some vegetarian entrees.  They are both meat free. If trying to choose between Mosaic or Daily Harvest, it will mostly boil down to what meals do you prioritize in the day. If you prioritize breakfast, I'd say say Daily Harvest would be the better choice. However, if you prioritize lunch or dinner then Mosaic will fit your bill. 

I'd suggest both companies provide more nut free options or allow individuals the option to remove nut toppings from dishes. I know that nuts is a very popular ingredient for some vegans but to be honest--dishes don't really need them and shhh..they don't really taste that great either.  Better yet, there are millions of people in the USA with nut allergies. Companies such as Daily Harvest and Mosaic should provide individuals the option to remove them from entrees.

The pricing is almost the same between the two companies. For nine meals at Mosaic, the cost is $79 + $8 shipping.  At 12 meals the price is $101. Free shipping is provided for orders over $100. Mosaic may actually be slightly higher than Daily Harvest but I'd say it is worth it.  However, you will be able to save $20 off your first box by clicking the link below:

Fenty Hair Line Full Product Review

Image
When I received an email from Fenty Beauty that Rihanna was dropping a hair line, I was super stoked and ready. Like literally jumping up and down. That's how much I love the Fenty Beauty brand.  Listen, Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin have GREAT products! When Fenty Beauty dropped several years ago, I can remember the advertising so well.  It offered and showcased a huge variety of foundation shades and proved itself to be an inclusive line with high performing, quality and clean products. Everybody--- and I mean everybody--- was talking about that drop!  It's literally set the blueprint for other cosmetic companies which have tried to copy and also carry more shades for darker skin tones.  Though I've used Fenty Beauty/Skin several times over the last several years, I'd say my current fave from Fenty Beauty is the lip balm. It's a luxurious lip balm with a unique shape that makes application so fun! I purchased that twice already and just lost the last one. Other repe...
