| Message | Joan, This Organic Life changed my whole view on food. I think about you on almost every grocery trip and wonder...where did that strawberry come from?! More importantly your love of parsnips and your sauteed parsnip recipe fueled my desire to grow this fantastic vegetable which resulted in some surprising results. As a result I dedicated my first blog post to you. Thanks again for teaching me to think about where my food comes from and to know that my battles with garden varmints could always be worse! Thanks, -K parsniplove.blogspot . com |

| Message | Joan, I just found you on Green 960 waking up with my ear-bud radio, we are kindred spirits. [The interview almost never mentioned your name or website, but I found you.] I wish to make vidcasts of many similar subjects. I feel the "new media" is via video casts, even podcasts; but video seems to attract more interest for the visual mind in all of us. I want to get many messages to the mass audience of "seekers" about medicine, diet, health, organics, note investments that is "quality" and highly efficient from a learning perspective. I know the basics, but not good on the technicals of compression, streaming, and media alternatives (CD or web)...etc. I have camera, small studio, but need good resource that would guide me, but not cost me a lot of money, in the process. Do you have any contact? Al  |

| Message | Hi, Joan, I read your book "This Organic Life," and thought, "Who is this cranky lady? And why do I love her so much?" Then I found your book, "Growing, Older," and I again thought, "Why is Joan so crabby, and I why do I love her so much?" And I think the reason that I love you so much is that I am cranky and crabby just like you, for many of the same reasons -- namely, that I'm tired of seeing humanity make so many boneheaded moves, including constantly accepting the yoke of "our corporate masters." I am converting my suburban yard in Oakland, CA into a micro-farm, and you are one of the inspirations. Thanks, and stay crabby! -- Holly Million |

| Message | Greetings Joan, I just read an article in the Toledo Blade about you. How encouraging. The Local Organic Food movement is growing! Raising my children 20 plus years ago I grew organic, raised chickens and goats, and bought our food from a buying club (see United Natural Foods-UNFI, for a buying club near you)enabling me to feed my children on a very limited income. Even today I find there is no reason to eat the broad range of "foods" that are out there. I grew up on beans and rice. Make that organic, add some organic bread, a glass of grass fed raw milk, what more do you need? Eating has become a peer presure event. You're included if you eat like everyone else. It's extremely hard to stand alone and eat well. Eating organic does not have to be expensive. That is a falacy. You can eat organic very inexpensivly. Blessings to all, JoAnne |

| Message | Hi Joan, I read your book "growing, older". I love to see your garden and walk on your boardwalk. I would like to discuss the possibility of developing your concept of "growing, older" for our seniors. (www.indiahome.org) Thanks, vasu |

| Message | Hi Joan, Isn'it fun to wear earrings? I'm looking at the photo of you and myself in Santa Barbara at the Edible Communities workshop where your talk brought laughter and tears to my eyes; your earrings and scarf add much charm. I just wanted to let you know how healing your book, "Growing Older" is for me. Not only learning your wisdom about your relationship with Alan (love the red and blue pill segment), but also the challenges of being a nutritionist who believes in Real Food and loves nature. There definitely is more hope these days with more people grasping the simple message of eating "Just Food". I do wish more of my colleagues shared our beliefs and interests in protecting our earth and health; I do feel frustrated and lonely, at times. In your book, page 36 has a paragraph that resonates for me when I teach my culinary students at SBCC; having the class at 7am doesn't help me spread my message of nutrition and sustainability! Thank you for being you and sharing your life and thoughts with us. |
