The Menu of the Year– Traditional, Native Gourmet and Healing

Along with about 1000 others, last week I attended the 10th Annual Weston A. Price Foundation National Conference near Chicago. Each session of the three-day event was superb and timely. I went to bone-up on recovery from autism for the benefit of my 23-year-old son, meet folks I wanted to meet (and some even wanted to meet me) and of course make new contacts.

One of the  highlights was the spectacular food, all donated and prepared by professional chefs. The créme de la créme was the banquet dinner.

Here is an extract from the WAPF website:

The menu and recipes were carefully created by Amanda Love, The Barefoot Cook, and Sally Fallon Morell to underscore the educational messages presented at the Honoring the Sacred Foods Conference.

The nutrient-dense foods that will be used to create these delicious meals have been masterfully grown, raised, produced, and donated by many generous farmers, producers, and vendors.

The meals will be skillfully prepared and presented by Chef Jack Delby and his culinary team. Chef Jack is the American Federation Culinary Institute’s Central Region Chef of the Year Award Winner for 2009 and Renaissance Marriott’s own Head Chef.

 I have given you the awesome menu and Ann Marie Michaels, aka the Cheeseslave and a West Coast correspondent of the Journal, provides the photography. Recipes are also generously provided via links and well as the websites of the growers and makers! The menu itself is a work of art (I hope to find more pictures of the banquet meal) and was worth the cost of the conference alone. Where do you find the grub? To start, talk to your local farmer– one who grows naturally and follow the links.

Three food bloggers (more on them later) and that's me on the right.

VIDEO: Dr. Gary Null’s Research on Autism/Vaccine Dangers and Pharma Fraud Exposed at NY State Hearing

I had intended to post an article on Making Yogurt and The Nitrates in Salami tonight. But, I thought this might be more timely as the U.S. is setting up all the school clinics for the seasonal flu shots– and then be all ready for the three swine flu shots.

Dr. Gary Null really sizzles here. These short clips are the ones to watch and spread around. Caution: You are about to hear the unbelievable– but you know it is true.

Part 1
Flu shots– worthless but dangerous

Part 2
250,000 Dead– 1,000,000 seriously injured ANNUALLY

Part 3
Their crimes and lawsuits
30 Pills: Your Cost: $180; Their Cost: 11 pennies

These clips are really worth sharing with just about anyone– unless you work for a pediatrician.

Manna Storehouse Incident: John Loeffler Interviews Augie on Steel on Steel Radio

Listen to the 10-minute radio interview

Through a recommendation of one of our Correspondents in Washington, D.C., I had the privilege of being a guest on John Loeffler’s SteelonSteel.com news radio about my take on the December SWAT-team raid on Manna Storehouse, an organic food coop near Cleveland. The Journal has extensive coverage on the incident as I have had contact with the owners the day after it occurred and thereafter.

You can listen here now. The Steel on Steel show is on politics, religion and global affairs can be enjoyed only with an annual paid fee. But John has made this 10-minute segment available to the Journal readers as a thank you to me (and that he might get some subscribers also). But you must log in first using the passwords below.

Any of the shows will be available to you until December 15.

Eating Chocolates Without Guilt

Rolling out cacao beans

If you observe Halloween, you and your children may be munching on all that disgusting candy out of the plastic pumpkin or some other Chinese-made device. Now is the time to be thinking of those ingredient labels. You will find that it is not really food (or candy for that matter). It is basically an HFCS injection, coupled with a variety artificial flavors and colors. Worse yet, if it is “diet” candy with the factory-made artificial sweeteners, it will help you get fatter and hungrier, studies have concluded.Dr. Mercola, at Mercola.com, had put out a nice Halloween treat the other day that talks about the chocolate candy vs. real chocolate. Here is a couple excerpts:

Even many so-called “natural” chocolates may contain some of these unhealthy ingredients — avoid them at all costs…

• Trans fat — An artery-clogging type of fat that forms when vegetable oils are hardened into margarine or shortening.

Two Lords: Shall Ye Not Eat Meat and Drink Milk to Save the World?

One Lord: Thou Shalt Not Eat the Meat of the Beasts or Drink the Milk of the Cow, for if you do, you shall surely die.

Two Lords have spoken out recently on the climate crisis. Lord Stern said today that we need to stop eating meat to save the planet. Then, Lord Monckton said two weeks ago that the whole climate change thing is a grand deception on a mass scale, as he has said for many years.

(psssst . . . his amazing short video clips are below!)

Who do you believe? The Lord that says you shall not eat meat or drink milk, or the Lord that says this is a lie?

The Miracle of Vitamin D3

We know that most people are deficient in Vitamin D3. Vitamin D is vital to building immunity. This is one reason why cod liver oil, high in Vitamins D and A, is so good for immunity against colds, flus and other viruses. I have wanted to post a few of the best articles I have seen on this topic, but for now, this amazing 6-minute video called The Miracle of Vitamin D, will have to do. More to come.

See a thorough paper on the Miracle of Vitamin D at the Weston A. Price Foundation.
