Sea vegetables, also known as seaweed, one of nature’s most nutrious foods. A lot of questions were asked by people I know about how to eat sea vegetables.  It is actually very simple. You can eat it just like land vegetables, in salads, stir fries, soups, cooked or raw. Here is a great vedio on how to harvest and eat sea vegetables. http://www.chow.com/videos/obsessives/Eat+Your+Sea+Greens?playlist=1494
Just experiment with it. Start with the milder tasting variety like Nori or Wakame.  Personally, I love Hajiki and Kombu.  Regardless of their shapes and flavors, they are all great addition to our health if we use them in our diet. Sea vegetables are great sources of minerals which are very deficient in our diet because of poor soil content of minerals as a result of the decades of chemical farming practices.

More of Ann Cooper. I think she is on to something really great.  Real food for kids, what a concept!

Speaking at the 2007 EG conference, “renegade lunch lady” Ann Cooper talks about the coming revolution in the way kids eat at school — local, sustainable, seasonal and even educational food.

Ann Cooper has a frontline view of the daily battle to keep kids healthy — and of the enemy, the processed-foods industries that, it sometimes seems, want to wrap every single thing that children eat in a fried coating and then a plastic bag. As the director of nutrition services for the
Berkeley (California) Unified School District, she’s an outspoken activist for serving fresh, sustainable food to kids. Her lively website, LunchLessons.org, rounds up recipes, links, and resources for food activism.

We hear more and more about the flu vaccine. But is it worth the shot in the arm? Or is it a shot in the dark? Others suggest that flu may be caused by vitamin D deficiency. Vaccine may not be effective for the young and the elderly and may even be harmful.

One alternative favored by a number of physicians is vitamin D. Dr. John Cannell, Executive Director of the Vitamin D Council, suggests the reason we even have a flu season is because our vitamin D levels drop, which takes place naturally as we get less and less sun with the approach of winter.

Cannell suggests babies get a 1,000 units of vitamin D a day, and those two and older get 2,000 units. Many adults and some children need more than that.
