In the last few months, I’ve been delving into my studies with great enthusiasm. Some of it I agree, with, other areas, not so much. But one area of study has me befuddled. That area of study has to do with microwave ovens. Microwave ovens were not part of any household when I was a […]

I’m currently in the midst of studying for a Bachelor’s Degree in Holistic Health. If you read that post, you will recall that I would probably have issues with some of the things that come up in the course of my studies and I would present my arguments here. Well guess what? This is the […]

Recently a co-worker and I were talking about food. He mentioned how much he liked soft-shelled fried crabs but couldn’t have them very often since they were so high in cholesterol.

In the first article of my GMO series, I gave a descriptions of what GMOs are and touched briefly on health and environmental issues that are a result.

A while back I was picking up my fall/winter meat order from my meat farmer. He raises cows, pigs, lambs, goats, and poultry. He calls himself more of a grass farmer, than a meat farmer. Whatever is required to comply with reasonable laws he does so. He is also a compassionate man who can get a […]

The sweetening market is composed of two types of sweeteners, natural and artificial. We know natural sugars as cane sugar for the most part, but there is also molasses and honey as well as others. “Artificial sweeteners” would include aspartame, high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and Saccharine.
