inside our refrigerator

I wanted to show you a picture of the inside of our ‘fridge, as it has been particularly crammed full this week, as we have house guests. Click on the photo to take you to the flickr page where all the food is labelled. I have to say, raw dairy is our favorite food and … Continue reading »

The Future of Food, Life, Stuff and Eveything Else

Coming nearer to Christmas and the season of goodwill spending money, I had been given a serious question to ponder – that of the future of food, life, stuff and everything else. The original comment was posted here and it really got me thinking: it starts with just one person making new choices…. multiplied by … Continue reading »

Intercepted Heredity; the smile that says a thousand words

I was astonished, saddened and intrigued by an article, which I read a while back: http://www.westonaprice.org/healthissues/facial-development.html It answered many, many questions for me about some of the reasons why we may become and are even born ill. After reading this article, perhaps three months ago, I have not been able to look at a person … Continue reading »

Quote of the Day #5

“I don’t think the importance of eating traditional, nourishing fats derived from healthy animals living in healthful environments can be overstated. The word for fat in Sanskrit—sneha—also means ‘lavish love,’ and it seems to me that it is in traditional fats that the earth offers us her most generous gift.” Jessica Prentice -Full Moon Feast: … Continue reading »

Quote of the Day #4

“A SHORT LESSON IN AUTO BODY MECHANICS: The human body is a metabolic car engine. We supply it fuel (food), it runs a pump (heart), an on board computer (brain), electrical system (nerves), oil filter (liver) and an exhaust system to eliminate waste (the colon). Every system, every organ, in fact every cell of the … Continue reading »

Disguise at your Peril

I said in a recent post that I was against the philosophy of the book ‘Deceptively Delicious‘ by Jessica Seinfeld: I believe that food should be prepared and presented as real food, without the deception. I believe that children know instinctively what they need to eat to stay healthy. Children invariably will not eat greens … Continue reading »

Whey easier than you think

Whey made from raw milk is so simple to make and highly nutritious. It is a major component of lacto-fermentation, but can be also used as a supplement to add good fats and enzymes to your diet. I add whey to my children’s milkshakes and use it to make sauerkraut and other pickled vegetables. Whey … Continue reading »

Quote of the Day #1

“Calcification of the arteries (arteriosclerosis), the joints (degenerative arthritis) and the [pinaeal] gland may be due to the excessive intake of fractionated milk i.e., skim or lowfat milk. On the advice of physicians many people have swapped to lowfat milk under the mistaken belief that avoiding the milk fat will enable them to avoid hardening … Continue reading »

Parasite Cleanse – some more information

I am planning to do the parasite cleanse after the colon cleanse when I have finished breastfeeding my daughter. I have researched many sites on the net to find out more about exactly what the cleanse entails and exactly what I may find being expelled. It’s a gruesome subject to tackle, but absolutely necessary nevertheless. … Continue reading »

Thinking about the Vegan Issue

I found a post yesterday that made me really think about the vegan issue. I like what Melissa Jane is trying to put across in her post but I initially had some questions: Where are the citations and evidence in the form of studies for her following statements?: “A vegan diet reverses heart disease. Eating … Continue reading »

Gilbert’s Syndrome ~ You’ll Live with it

About four years ago I was diagnosed with Gilbert’s Syndrome, (it is pronounced jeel-bear’s) something that I had no clue about and had no real advice from the doctor about, only: “You’ll live with it”. That seems to be the starting point for many people given this diagnosis. The responsibility seems to be upon the … Continue reading »

Childrens’ natural sense of craving

“Studies have revealed that children are born with a natural sense of nutritional balance. Although they may decide to eat only one item on a given day, over the course of about a week they average a completely balanced diet. We refer to this ability as our cravings. We crave the things our bodies need. … Continue reading »

There is no Problem with the Paleo Diet

I have been very interested in the Paleo Diet since coming across it over a year ago. Having been a ‘recovering’ vegetarian for 9 years now – What that means is that I was a vegetarian for 12 years before I met Jules in 1999. What can I say? Just that I wasn’t in the … Continue reading »

STOP DOING IT NOW

  Stop doing it now; stop eating meat that has been through the industrial farming process; stop eating cheap meat. It just isn’t worth it. Stop eating cheap battery eggs, stop drinking pasteurised milk, stop eating fish from overstocked fisheries. Do you actually realise what conditions this animals are put under to produce food for … Continue reading »

So, just as I am finding out almost hourly about the foods we should be eating, I have come across bread. And for someone who is gluten intolerent like me, its a big issue. I know I must drink raw milk, eat raw cheese and butter. That is quite clear now. But I was not … Continue reading »

Cavemen didn’t use a Knife or Fork

I am so excited, my cow has led me further along the path of enzyme therapy, and I have made several new discoveries about enzymes in our food.

Enzymes Make the World Go Round

“Food faddists like to complicate things, deriving rules and patterns out of thin air. Usually for the end purpose of book or supplement or food sales. A reasonable proportion of fats, protein, and carbohydrates is just common sense. Less important than the proportion of fats, protein, and carbohydrates is the form in which each is … Continue reading »
