Ancient grains go mainstream

Ancient grains go mainstream

Recently had the pleasure of meeting Maria Speck and have her cookbook - Ancient Grains for Modern Meals at Healthy Habits Kitchen in Wellesley, Mass.

Photographs are stunning - how can you make dried bulgar look interesting? Stories and background intriguing and am inspired to try all the recipes. Even had a friend borrow the cookbook when she saw it on the counter.

Best health always...

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. - Ben Franklin

Why no mention in the post (as many comments have noted) on the highly processed, fake, nutritionally void, chemically laden American food supply and it's impact on our health as a nation. Diet and disease is the "big white elephant" in the room when discussing health care.

Don't you find it strange that America and her children have never been fatter, sicker or malnourished and we can't seem to figure out why.

Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food. - Hippocrates

Coca-Cola Commercial To Address Obesity For First Time Ever

Do you find the American Heart Association's "support"  
of Diet Coke a little (well) disingenuous?

As the host mentions, maybe people will drink more water. Bet Coke is banking that it will be
Dasani Water*.

Hmmmm.....Dasani Water (a Coca Cola product) is not just water - it's"enhanced with minerals." Interestingly, it was a 23 year old who had lost 70 lbs that told me the water was on her "do not drink list."

*Are these "enhanced with minerals" just a manufacturing bi product and it's an easy way to dispose of leftover chemicals.

It's so strange, America and her children have never been fatter, sicker or more malnourished and we can't seem to figure out why.

The 5 Best Diet Changes to Make in 2013

The 5 Best Diet Changes to Make in 2013

Okay, does #5 smell a little fishy - like it was placed by a PR firm?  Hmm...let's do the smell test*:

-My oncologist says the best source of vitamin D is 15 minutes of sunlight - not from "fortified food"
-Isn't cow's milk "just fortified" with vitamin D  i.e. you're being duped
-Doesn't too much calcium from dairy products actually leech it from the bones and cause brittle bones?
-Again, my oncologist says the best way to strong bones is weight bearing exercise.  Last time I checked, eating a slice of cheese wasn't too heavy.

So, does #5 smell like it was a press release from the dairy industry?

          So, does #5 smell a little "fishy"?

*Smelling food has always been my test to see if something is good or if it's gone bad.  Try it.  The next time you eat or drink something - smell it before you place it in your mouth.
