"Kate, you ask some tough questions. I have many patients living in Kuhio Park Terrace, which when built in the 1960's seemed like a good idea. Now (and probably then as well) it seems that stacking people with socioeconomic challenges…"

Bradley Chun commented on Alex Salkever's blog post Building on Farmland - Paved Paradise, Put up a Fast Food Stand"Do we relish the thought of looking like Singapore? Is urban sprawl an island's blight?
Maybe if we concentrated on remembering we are part of a much larger scheme of things, we might not set expansionist goals, instead sharing with other…"
Alex Salkever's blog post was featuredBuilding on Farmland - Paved Paradise, Put up a Fast Food Stand
Two of my fave local writers are Joannie Dobbs and Alan Titchenal who are columnists for the Honolulu Star-Bulletin. In this column, they question the ongoing policy of horizontal urban expansion at the expense of farm lands. On Oahu, Maui and Kauai, rich farm lands are under threat from the expansion of houses. Granted, people gotta live somewhere. But in a place…See More
Susan Yamada commented on Alex Salkever's blog post More Research Coming Up Against Candy - Give them an Organic Apple Instead!"Great article in preparation for Halloween.... Besides violence, sugar is very bad for teeth. Especially if one can't brush right away after eating sweets of any kind made with sugar. Does Kokua sell candy with xylitol? I heard that xylitol…"
Ramona Hussey commented on Alex Salkever's blog post Raw Milk: What does everyone think?"Raw Milk! Absolutely wonderful stuff. i drank raw milk from a neighbor's cow (and goats) while I lived on the Big island. Tastes great, good for you, and I'm much more worried about industrial contaminants than a few local bacteria.…"
Bradley Chun commented on Alex Salkever's blog post Our Favorite Hawaii Food Books"That would be great to sell at Kokua. I thought I'd buy a copy, but I looked at our shelf and there it was. The book has some really beautiful pictures of local produce and some nice spots on highlighting local farmers. We also have a book on…"
Heather Williams commented on Alex Salkever's blog post Our Favorite Hawaii Food Books"I don't have that one but I love Joan Namkoong's "Go Home, Cook Rice" cookbook! Will have to pick up the Farmer's Market one. I wonder if we could sell them at Kokua?"
Alex Salkever commented on Heather Williams's blog post MA`O Farms Work Day: A Win-Win Situation"Oh, and maybe we could work towards a M'AO CSA? That would be stupendous!"
Alex Salkever commented on Heather Williams's blog post MA`O Farms Work Day: A Win-Win Situation"Heather, this was an awesome event. Let's hope we can do it again in six months or so!"
Alex Salkever posted a blog postOur Favorite Hawaii Food Books
We are blessed in the Islands with literally dozens of cookbooks. Among my faves is the Hawaii Farmer's Market Cookbook by food write Joan Namkoong. Joan puts together a wonderful array of dishes that are easy to prepare and can really take full advantage of what grows here in Hawaii. In this tough economy, as more of us are cooking at home, this book is even more appropriate. It's also published by a…See More

More Research Coming Up Against Candy - Give them an Organic Apple Instead!
My colleague Eric Wahlgren wrote this article looking at recent research on the topic of candy and violence in kids and teens. The findings are troubling and made me think twice about allowing regular candy consumption for my kids (meaning, 3-4 per week, a piece or two). What are your thoughts? You can read the article here. An excerpt is… Continue
