This week’s edition includes articles on delighting in the final weeks of grill season, how to select a durable and safe new bookbag for back to school, the media’s obsession with body shaming, shaking up your routine with new organic meal planning ideas, and why we need to kick fast food for good. Enjoy!

3. Blisstree weighed in on the media’s nasty body shaming trend, this time causing controversy for spotlighting still-skinny supermodel Kate Moss’ who was showing off some “curves” on vacation with her family recently. Yuck.
