time and pressure cookers

[Guest guest]

I was reading Darlene's post and was reminded of my pressure

cooker....

I love the pressure cooker especially for beans, as I can make a

batch of beans and freeze half of them. I hardly ever have to buy

canned beans because I can always dig some out of the freezer

when I need them. (adzuki don't defrost that well, unless you don't

mind them a little mashed, lol)

Which brings me to the question: is pressure cooking your food

harmful in the long run? Is it merely the " unnaturalness " of the

extreme temperatures?

I joined another mb list for a MINUTE, but thought the guy was plain

crazy! His name is Harry or something like that...Ilanit, did I see

you are a member of that group? He says some really strong things

about pressure cooking.

funny thing is, he may be a NUT but I found some of what he said

really intriguing. I dissolved my membership because I really couldn't

stand " feeling " him, iykwim!

the key things I found intriguing were the comments on pressure

cooking, and what he said about feeling hungry. though now it's

been so long I don't remember what exactly he said about feeling

hungry, lol! (did I just hear my stomach grumble?)

I'm also really curious about the different thoughts on grains and

acidity in the body. It seems there is an older school of mb, and

a newer one? Michio Kushi's books seem to say to comprise very

little of your diet from vegetables, but is this really suggested now?

I'm not really following anyone's thoughts 100%, I seem to just follow

my own compass. But I'm happy to say I've now lost almost 10 pounds

in two months of chewing my food more thoroughly! ;-)

any input much appreciated!

may all beings be blessed,
