Free-ranged Eggs are Nutritious
An article in Mother Earth News reports that the nutrients in free-ranged eggs are much higher than commercial factory-farmed eggs.
Eggs are one of nature’s perfect food.
I Love Eggs! Free-ranged ones only.

Ban Sought on Over-the-counter Cold Remedies for Children
Safty experts of the Food and Drug Administration is erging the agency to put a ban on the sale of OTC cold medications for children under the age of 6. Over the years since the 60s’ many children died from these types of medications.
In my opinion, having a cold is the body’s training program for its immune cells. It is like a dress rehersal for fighting the real diseases such as cancers and infections that can undermine the body. When a child is having cold symptoms, the best thing to do for him is lots of fluids and rest. Let the body do its job to chase out the viruses. In variably, he will bounce back stronger than ever. His immune system will be more ready to defend him for more serious diseases in the future.

Big Sugar, Great Harm, Then and Now
We all know that refined sugar is not good for our health. But in moderation, they should be ok in our diet, right?. However, the production of sugar in history was linked to slavery and horandous suffering of millions of Africans. Today, our children and ourselves are addiction to sugar, we became the new slaves to this utterly unnecessary substance. The health consequences is staggering. One out of five children is overweight with all the heart disease risks and chronic degenerative problems await them in the near future. Young people in their teens and twenties are getting Type 2 diabetes. Sugar consumption shortens our lives and brought untold misery to people for centuries and continues till today. The sugar barons are just as ruthless, coldblooded and heartless today as those in the past! If you still have any warm fuzzy feeling toward sugar, may be these video documentaries made by Canadian Boardcasting Corp (CBC) might change your mind.
Our government is not going to do anything to change the trend because it is more concern with corporate profit than your health. In fact, if we are all trying to eat healthy and become disease-free, it will be disaster to the bottomline of the junk food industry and its partner in crime, the pharmceutical industry. You have the only power to bring these parasitic institutions down by voting with you dollars and voting for leaders who will bring real changes. There is no other way, in fact, grass root movements were the power that brought slavery to an end in Brittan. Until we the people wake up and do what is right, there will be business as usual. Think about it.
Pass these links to as many people as you know, we all deserve better. Free the slaves!

A Great Collection of Past and Present Nutrition Wisdom and Ideas
I found a few videos on Youtube and google. Wonder how we get to the state of health degeneration we are in? Watch the Price-pottenger Story and read the book exerpts that Dr. Weston A. Price wrote about his studies of various people’s diets.
There are difference between organic food and conventional food. And try to avoid genetically modified foods by all means.

The Benefit of Full Fat Dairy
Not too long ago, the result of the US study showed that women who regularly consumed skim milk have problems getting pregnant. Women consumed full at dairy products are much more fertile. We know our sex hormones are all made of fat soluble substances like the “dreaded” cholesterol. In fact, I don’t think cholesterol is bad at all. Oxidized cholesterol caused by our poor dietary habits is, but that is another story.
Now a new study came out of Sweden showed a similar healthful effect from consumming full fat milk and cheese. Drinking just one glass of whole milk a day, decreased a woman’s weight gain by 15% while consumming a serving of full fat cheese will do that by the double! 30% less weight gain. There goes to show how wrong we had been following the low-fat craze for the last 20 years and our national rate of obesity is out of control.

Control and Manipulation of the People by a Few Powerful Hands
There’s a great new movie out that you can watch free online at http://zeitgeistmovie.com. Over two million people have watched it.
The opening will most likely offend the devoutly Christian. Hopefully we can overlook that and go straight to the information about the manipulation and control of people by fear and deception. Food isn’t mentioned, but you can see easily how it all fits in. Ponder the possibility that these might or might not be true. What can we do about it? The Iraq war, the “The War on Terror”, directly affects every person interested in eating a WAPF type diet. All the various government efforts at food/livestock control are, at some level, tied up in reducing the terrorist threat to our food supply; and the terrorist threat is a direct result of the war; one more manufactured issue designed to put control of the many into the hands of the few. Two years ago, in a meeting with Oklahoma Ag. dept officials over poultry production issues, a member of the WPF was told POINT BLANK that in 5 years we would be lucky to buy a pastured, organic chicken anywhere is the state UNLESS it carried the USDA stamp ( a huge expense for our small producers who might sell 1,000 birds a year, and one which would effectively put them out of business. Score another for Tyson). Their feeling was USDA and FDA wanted complete control over a vast, centralized food supply:
- All food production and handling subject to federal laws which super cede existing state regulations.
- All livestock tagged and traceable.
- Small producers and family farms are round pegs that do not fit into their square holes, and eventually they will be eliminated, as per plan.
You could argue, sensibly enough that decentralization (shopping at small, local farms and knowing where your food comes from) is protection from a large scale attack on the food supply, however you are arguing with folks who have gone to extremes of manipulation in the waging of this war. You are arguing with the folks who brought you al-Queda in Iraq.
This is all about control and Henry Kissinger said a long time ago that a population could be controlled through their food supply.
Land, Farmer, Community: A Sacred Trust
A story about the love of farming. It is more than growing food, in fact, a spiritual act. written by California writer and photographer Lisa M. Hamilton who is working on a book titled Deeply Rooted: Unconventional Farmers in the Age of Agribusiness.
Here is an excerpt:
Susumu Hashimoto is the happiest person I’ve ever met. His smile is constant and electric. Even in the rain, his face seems to glow. He attributes his deep joy to being a farmer, a life he began envisioning at seventeen. Considering that farming in many places is characterized by debt, dispossession, and even suicide, it struck me as odd for a city boy to dream of agriculture. And yet that was Hashimoto: he saved up money for years working as a deliveryman, all for the chance to rent a scattering of fields in a village fifty miles south of Osaka, Japan. He’s thirty-seven now, and sure he’ll be a farmer forever. Hashimoto will gladly—gleefully—explain. “What I do is more than farming. It’s learning how to care for life and improve society,” he told me. “I believe the farmer is the closest servant to God.”
