I recently was at a San Francisco Food Society networking event which was held at Yield. Yield is a new wine bar here in San Francisco that only carries wines that are made organically. It made we wonder how important this was to people in their buying decision or is this just a San Francisco whim.

I realize I have completely failed, my 6lbs in 6 weeks challenge has backfired.
HOWEVER considering my birthday is in 2 weeks, I am now shooting for a 2 week challenge. Unfortunately, I was unable to hit the gym today, but, I am running a half-marathon on Sunday!
