On Saturday, I had the privilege of joining the Center for Food Action for an incredible MLK Day of Service at the Community Baptist Church of Englewood. More than 150 people came together to be part of a day dedicated to helping others and making a difference. With the support of our neighbors, local leaders and Congressman Josh Gottheimer, we packed over 2,000 snack packs for children in need! It was an amazing way to honor Dr. King’s call to serve and uplift others! Let’s continue his legacy—consider donating to the to make an even greater impact. 💙

Today, we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a real beacon of love, unity, and hope. His dream of equality and justice reminds us that compassion and togetherness are the strongest forces for change. In dark times, let’s block out the noise of hate and division and move forward with truth, facts and love. Remember, you don’t have to be a billionaire to be important or to have a voice—every one of us can make a difference. ✨

As Asbury Park residents we all know the old adage “nothing good happens after 2am.” Well, here’s a tip, nothing good happens in the center aisles at the grocery store.

Think of it as the processed pyramid. The center aisles usually contain the foods with preservatives - chemicals that give food a longer shelf life. As you work your way around the store, the aisles on the outside have the fresher items like produce, dairy and meats that need refrigeration. 

Happy shopping and remember: Your insides will be happier if you stay on the outsides. Shop the perimeter. Better yet, shop The Pig and don’t worry about any of this.

The health of our soil = the health of our food! 🌱

Conventional farming practices strip the soil of essential nutrients, leaving us with fruits and veggies that aren’t as nutritious as they should be. Over time, these practices degrade the land, making it harder for crops to grow and thrive.

🌿 Enter Regenerative Farming!
Unlike industrial farming, regenerative farming heals the soil. It focuses on practices like crop rotation, cover cropping, and reducing tillage to restore vital minerals and vitamins back into the soil. Healthier soil = healthier plants = healthier YOU!

🍅 Why It Matters
Fruits and vegetables grown in nutrient-rich soil have higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. By supporting regenerative farms, you’re supporting your health AND the planet.

Okay, so a candy cane might not cut it but some studies suggest the compounds in peppermint leaf or oil can:

Peppermint is almost like a gift from Santa himself! But before you go popping peppermint to cure your cold, do your research. Peppermint does have side effects and can be toxic if too much is taken. 🌳💰💯

You don’t need to be a Kennedy to know that what you eat can be vital to your health and well-being. ⚕️

Whole foods are packed with vitamins and minerals that your body needs. On the other hand, high processed foods have no real value and are deficient in things like Vitamin C and D which can put your bone health and immune system at risk of disease. Who wants that? 🤷‍♀️

🌱 Plants have a ton of beneficial compounds, such as antioxidants which protect cells from damage. That sounds good right? 

🥗 Foods high in fiber have benefits like they’re good for your gut, decrease inflammation, and boost your immune system, just to name a few.

🍗 Proteins and healthy fats can boost your brain health, aid in weight loss, reduce the risk of heart disease and so much more. 

Guys, we could go on and on. The truth is whole foods are good and “food” made in a factory can actually make you sick.  So take it from science, not from a conspiracy theorist - the link between nutrition and health shouldn’t be dismissed. 🌟

We’re keeping a close eye on the FDA’s discussion to ban Red No. 3, a synthetic dye. Here’s what’s happening and why it matters to you:

🧐 What is Red No. 3? Also known as Erythrosine, this synthetic dye is derived from petroleum and is used to give food, candy, and medications that signature “bright cherry-red color.”

Red No. 3 is lurking in nearly thousands U.S. products, including:
🍭 Candy
🥤 Beverages
🍪 Baked goods
💊 medicine

🚫 Fun fact: the FDA banned its use in cosmetics and topical drugs back in 1990, but it’s still allowed in food and ingested drugs.

⚠️ Studies have linked Red No. 3 to cancer in lab animals and behavioral issues in children. It’s part of a larger debate about food safety, especially regarding additives that target children’s products.

📢 The FDA is currently reviewing a petition to remove Red No. 3 from the U.S. food system. Deputy Commissioner Jim Jones recently shared that action on this petition could happen in the coming weeks.

🌿 What do you think about the potential ban? Good news or Hogwash? ❤️ 💫

🛸All these UAPs are strange AF… but what about UPFs?
Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) - are heavily altered, and made using chemically modified ingredients from real foods, mixed with additives to improve taste, texture, appearance, and shelf life. It’s kinda like putting lipstick on a pig (although, we think that could look fantastic). 🐷💄

In other words, the cookies, crackers and chips you love have little to no actual whole food left in them. UPFs are typically high in salt, sugar, and fat while lacking essential vitamins. Buzz kill. 🐝

Not to rub salt in the wounds (get it?) but UPFs are linked to 32 health issues like cardiovascular disease, diabetes and depression. Bummer.

But the real question is, do you care or is a quick snack worth it? Tell us below ⬇️

🍂 This Thanksgiving, we give thanks to the hands that grow, harvest, and care for the food we share. 🍂

As we gather around the table with loved ones, let’s take a moment to honor the farmers and farm workers who make it all possible. From our local NJ farms to the harvest fields across the country, their tireless dedication ensures we can celebrate with fresh, nourishing food. 🌾

At The Flying Pig Market, we’re proud to support sustainable, local agriculture and the hardworking individuals behind it. Together, we can build a food system that values their efforts and supports our community’s health and well-being. ❤️

Thank you for choosing to support local farms with us. Your commitment helps keep their traditions alive and thriving.

Wishing you a warm, happy, and grateful Thanksgiving! (So grateful to be a pig everyday but especially today!) 🦃🍁

We LOVE bananas but we don’t understand why someone just paid $6.2 million for artwork called the “Comedian.” Don’t get us wrong, we also LOVE art… but for that price, he only got a roll of duct tape, directions on how to “install” the banana, and a certificate of authenticity BUT NO BANANA! What? That’s the best part.

Bananas have so many amazing benefits like supporting your heart health, boosting your immune system and helping your gut.

So, do yourself a favor - eat a delicious banana, load up healthy nutrients, and save yourself $6.2 million. You’re welcome. 🍌

People, it’s time to rethink your water habits! Bottled water isn’t always safer than tap because, you guessed it, they can contain harmful plastics. 💦

Consider this: 🤔
Drink tap water in reusable stainless steel or glass bottles. As long as your local tap water is safe, you can avoid exposure to chemicals that may seep into your drink from the bottle. Why add chemicals when there’s none to being with?

Choose thicker plastic bottles for single-use, when needed. That little triangle at the bottom of the bottle not only tells you it’s recyclable but it indicates the quality of the plastic. The lower the number = the higher the quality = the less health effects.

Avoid reusing single use plastic clear bottles because they degrade over time and get contaminated by germs. Gross. Also, never put hot liquid in them or let them sit somewhere warm, like a hot car; heat damages the plastic, leading to more chemical leaching. These bottles have an expiration date for a reason. Save your health & the planet by switching to sustainable hydration habits!
