Kristina Aston

Kristina Aston blends food activism, Empower Network event notes, organic food advocacy, and home cooking experiments. She urges a veto of the Monsanto Protection Act language in spending bill HR933, arguing biotech lobbying undermines farmer and consumer safety and citing Food Democracy Now naming of Section 735 as the contested provision. An Empower Network post recalls Erica Udeanu at a Chicago Get Money Event saying not to quit three feet from the goal when results lag and new skills feel hard. A rant argues organic non-GMO food is a right rather than a privilege, references Bhutan's organic direction, and pushes back on cost and proof dismissals from people who have not researched. Kitchen writing details improvised turkey meatballs when a friend lacked breadcrumbs and bread, turning toasted substitutes and pantry finds into a healthier red-meat alternative for dinner. Categories span blogging, education, Empower Network, environment, and food. Voice is personal, activist-leaning, and rooted in first-hand stories that mix policy anger with kitchen creativity and field motivation from live events.
