Re: Fwd: How to identify genetically modified produce and read Bar C

Penelope,

You could try to direct the large volume of sproutpeople to a separate folder.

This way you can quickly read by the arrow key and your mail will still stay

organized. Hope this helps, the sproutpeople are sure interesting in a slanted

way.

Jerry

Could you please tell me how to remove myself from this list? The emails are

taking over my site.

Melody,

You reminded me of my sister's parents-in-law who were full blooded Germans

living in Hunterdon, NJ. They bought half a cow from a Pennsylvania farmer who

took care of the cow organically. When they got home, they would immediately,

store the meat in packets with right amount per one cooking. They grew their

own chickens, rabbits and pigs for food as well. The beef and pork were stored

for their year-round use. They had an orchard and vegetable farms and a cellar

built on a hill with even temperature year-round also. They made preserves and

pickles. The best apple cider i ever tasted were made by them using antique

wooden implements. They were all so delicious, we eagerly waited for fall when

they made the goodies and they would give us some and also fresh produce.

This is what you really call self sufficient. We used to joke them that if a

war broke out we'd go there to them.

Melody, for what it's worth, I will tell you how I became vegetarian.  If

anyone had EVER told me I would be a vegetarian for even one day, I would have

laughed them into the next country.  I LOVED meat, and being a chef, meat was

always the focus of my meals.  Shortly after my daughter was born (she is 16

now), I became very sick and unable to walk.  The doctors ran me through every

test on earth, and determined that I had lupus and severe rheumatoid arthritis-I

was bed bound and unable to even hold my newborn baby-couldn't even pick her

up!  Since my father had died from rheumatoid arthritis when I was young, I was

scared to death that I would leave my little girl behind.  One day a lightbulb

went off in my head, and I realized that every time I ate certain meats, I felt

worse than usual.  I started experimenting, and quickly realized that ANY meat

made me feel bad (including poultry and fish).  I started a process of

elimination, and sure

enough-every single time I ate a mouthful of meat, I was sicker than usual

(body aches, swollen joints, extreme hives, etc)  I slowly (and I mean SLOWLY)

started to completely eliminate meat from my diet, and I quickly recovered from

being bed bound.  This led to a journey of discovering other undiagnosed food

allergies, which by elimination, eventually saved my life!!!  Now, that gives

the background....I FOUGHT, long and hard, about being FORCED to give up meat. 

I was angry and frustrated, and felt very put upon, and also very determined to

find away to keep eating meat...well, I could (and can NOT) eat meat-it cripples

me within hours.  SO, I had to find a way to make NOT eating meat okay, and I

started watching documentaries like " Meet your Meat " , " Earthlings " , and a few

others.  Trust me when I say that TOTALLY made my " forced " vegetarianism

totally okay!  I had never thought of meat as anything but meat-learning to

restructure my thought

process made it WAY easier to give up what I had perceived my whole life as

" essential " food.  It has now been well over 10 years since I have had any

meat, and I can't even imagine eating it now.  I would never in a million years

have thought I could come around to that way of thinking.  I still prepare meat

for family when they visit, and I have always given my daughter a choice about

it-she CHOSE " no critters " when she was 5, and has never eaten meat since.  She

is fit, healthy, lean, and strong-her pediatrician says he wishes all of his

patients were as healthy.  She knows she can make her own choice about it at

any time, but she has no desire to eat meat, although she also has no problem

with anyone else doing so (her boyfriend included).    I think once we are

armed with the KNOWLEDGE, it is easy to decide NOT to eat meat, but until we

become aware of the truth about food, most of us have absolutely no idea what

goes on in the food

world.  Once we know, it is easier to make an informed choice.  If I did NOT

have food allergies, I would NOT go back to eating meat, now that I know what I

know. 

===========================================

Melody,

If it were me who had so much raw food stored, and the electricity goes out, i

would cook them in vinegar, salt, ground black pepper, cinnamon leaves, and

garlic. This is almost like pickling the food.

It should stay for a couple of days. Add some drops of cinnamon oil and it

would extend the life longer. Make Chinese ham out of the pork. I don't know

exactly how to do it, i know it is super heavily salted, and then the legs of

ham are left hanging out in the air to dry (uncooked?) in the kitchens. Then

baked or grilled. It is not like the American hams at all, but they do put

pineapple rings and cloves, and sugar on top, which is pressed with hot iron

frying ladle.

It is served with a bit of honey, real tasty.

BTW, they are called " survivalists " .

> I never joke. I'm here to learn about how other people buy and store food. I

think it's absolutely fascinating. I have gone on youtube and watched

survivorists (I think that is what they are called) and I saw videos where

people store THOUSANDS of pounds of seeds and water in their basement in case of

a catastrophe. And they have medical kits, etc.

share what I learn. But my friends still think I'm nuts because I grow sprouts

in my kitchen.
