This video speaks loud and clear. So much of our processed foods have these artificial flavors to imitate the taste of real foods. So have a savory grass fed steak with an array of organic vegetables. Stick with real food, bought from your local farmer.

Monday, June 29th, 2009E.coli Beef Recall! ( 8th this year)
Monday, June 29th, 2009Looks like the nation has just identified the 8th beef recall of 2009. The recall involved E. coli O157:H7 and is just the latest in a string of incidents. E. coli O157:H7 was first recognized as a cause of illness in 1982 and today accounts for the majority of food borne illnesses.
Studies have shown that grass-fed cattle are less prone to developing this deadly strain of E. coli. here is the link for more info: http://www.eatwild.com/foodsafety.html. All the more reason to buy direct from local farmers who grow grass fed beef, raw milk and free range eggs. It should come as no surprise that cattle on the typical grain feedlot are the major source of this problem. A predominant grain diet has negative effects on the cattle’s digestive tract and makes them prone to developing this strain of E.coli.
Instead of the draconian National Animal Identification System(http://farmtoconsumer.org/nais.html) how about animal feed reform and changing the feedlot system. Better yet find a local farmer who does grass-fed beef and ask to visit the farm and ask about their feeding program, and do they use hormone implants? Remember grass is the natural diet for cattle.

Sunday, June 28th, 2009I love Chipotle for their commitment to serving high quality beef, chicken and pork. They make a point to source from as many local producers as possible. I think that in the future they will have all grass-fed beef, and source from all small farms.

Friday, May 22nd, 2009Good nutrition is essential to the prevention, treatment and cure of many illnesses, diseases and conditions. And that includes autism.
Defeat Autism Now, an organization founded by a group of doctors whose children suffer from the condition, found that diet plays a crucial role in treating children with many disorders including autism, Asperger’s sydrome, ADD, ADHD and ODD.
Various studies have reveled that children with autism do not have the right amount of beneficial bacterial in their digestive system. Since 85% of the body’s immune system is in the gut, without these bacteria it is hard for their bodies to absorb nutrients to build a strong, healthy immune and digestive system. Their diets also lack the necessary nutritional fats that are fundamental to developing brain cells.
According to the Body Ecology diet (bodyecology.com) and the book “Gut and Psychology Syndrome,” by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride MD, children with any type of brain disorder can benefit from eating grass-fed raw dairy, including milk, cream, butter, cultured yogurt and fermented kefir.
Grass-fed raw dairy contains the crucial omega-3 fatty acids needed for brain function, good bacteria for a healthy digestive system, and plentiful vitamins A and D for proper growth and development. It is also rich in the raw, saturated fatty acids (similar to those found in mother’s milk) that nourish the brain and intestinal lining.
Other foods to consider as nutritional powerhouses are grass-fed beef, free-range poultry, organic eggs, fruits and vegetables – all produced without man-made chemicals, hormones, pesticides, dyes, or additives.

The Best Way to Prevent the Flu – or Any Illness – is Through a Healthy Diet
With all the news circulating in the media about the “swine flu,” flu prevention is a hot topic in Central Florida and across the nation.
While washing your hands, getting plenty of rest, exercising and avoiding stress are great ways to prevent any type of influenza, virus or cold, these steps are not the total answer. The best and easiest way to strengthen your immune system, so that the body will resist any type of illness or disease, is to adopt a natural, organic diet.
Eating foods rich in vitamins, minerals, enzymes, essential fats and probiotics – like raw milk, grass-fed beef and free-range chickens and eggs – is necessary for building a strong immune system.
Raw organic grass-fed milk, which is produced without pesticides or antibiotics from cows that graze on grass and hay, is loaded with immune-building enzymes, vitamins C, B12 and B6, and beneficial bacteria (probiotics).
Grass-fed organic beef from cows that are raised in the sunshine and fed a natural diet of grass and hay contains essential saturated fat, which aids in brain function and supports the immune system.
Free-range eggs from chickens allowed to roam free and eat a natural diet have more omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin B12 in their meat and egg yolks than chickens fed grain.
Organic raw milk, fresh farm eggs and poultry, and grass-fed beef can help build a healthy immune system and keep the flu bug at bay.
