The owners of Two Mothers Foods seek to offer healthy, sustainably produced food that tastes good too.
Nicky Poloski’s kids were literally sick of their school lunches. Her boys, who had food sensitivities, were getting sick from the lunches they were being served at school so she started cooking up special meals. Their health improved.

A business that seeks to offer "clean" food, that is made from food free of pesticides, antibiotics, hormones or rendered animal products.

Setting aside the fact that she looks like a baseball glove with lipstick and a wig, her situation calls to light a number of questions. If we, ourselves, are so misguided about something — regardless of what it may be — that calls into question our own parenting skills. For example, if Krentcil needs to tan for 12 minutes 20 times a month, as the salon owner claims she does, what kinds of messages is she sending to her daughter about appearance and self esteem? Not …
