At this time of year, I am always filled with gratitude for all the good things life brings. I think about my family and how everyone is so healthy now. I look at my well stocked larder and give thanks to all the farmers that have provided the good food that makes my family healthy. I give thanks for their commitment to practices that produce great tasting food while healing the soil and the earth. I look at the bounty of my table and know how lucky I am.
I wish you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and a joyous New Year. May your plates be full of nourishing traditional foods!
For the seven days before Christmas, I would like to share Dr Mercola’s interviews with? Joel Salatin at Polyface Farm. Joel states that we could totally change our food system in two years, if the household purchaser of food changed what she bought.
If you enjoyed these videos about Joel Salatin and Polyface Farm and would like to learn more about his farming system and equipment please see the Polyface Face Farm Resources. Here are some of his books I have read over the years:
Everything I Want To Do Is Illegal
Pastured Poultry Profits
The Sheer Ecstasy of Being a Lunatic Farmer
Updated December 20, 2012: I just received a wonderful ebook from Elizabeth Gibbons who is a long-time member of the Weston A Price Foundation. She has just written a ebook called Overfed and Undernourished: Taking The Confusion Out Of Healthy Eating which is FREE to download from Amazon Kindle on Thursday and Friday, December 20 and 21, 2012.
FREE ebook for download on December 20-21, 2012.
This ebook is a good introduction to some of the common contaminates found in the industrial food system such as: artificial sweeteners, genetically modified organisms, soy creations, monosodium glutamate, artificial coloring, trans fats, fluoride, pink slime, and meat glue. The ebook is not all horrors. Elizabeth helps you navigate a safe passage through the murky waters of the industrial food system. By the end of the ebook, you might wonder if our government regulators have abandoned us, but you will have the tools to make better food choices for your family.
Thank you Elizabeth, for your wonderful ebook.
