Holiday Foods for Health and Smarts
Today, I am getting ready for Thanksgiving. Everyone here in the United States, especially if they are the cook for their family or friends is doing the same. So, today, I'm re-running my episode on great, basic, traditional foods that help health for body and brains. Recently, I heard someone who seemed bright and even-handed talk about human parts that were used as food additives. Oh my God! Dear, Lord, save us! After the past 2 years, I tend to believe that this could happen. Specifically he said that HEK or human embryonic kidney was put in the most famous cookie by a company that has a name much like the evil guy in Uncle Tom's Cabin story -- even 12 years ago. While I do not know about that, I do know that most processed food has problems. Artificial dyes created hyper-activity or attention problems in 80% of the population. I know that the most common ingredients in face soap and shampoo creates skin problems for me, and is used in industry for widely different uses. Do you want the same chemical used for stripping off ship's deck varnish for taking off your makeup? While I do know that all kinds of nefarious ingredients are in the jab (based on Dr. Bret Spradlin's seminars posted on Rumble)... I also have had experience to realize that food the way that God made it... always has worked amazingly well for me and everyone I know. Wheat and sugar would have been rare. Today, they are ubiquitous and fundamentally changed: wheat thru hybridization and both through chemical processing. But organic vegetables have a hard time to find any critics. So, I commend to you the basic, traditional Thanksgiving and Christmas foods. Sweet potatoes are some of the most nutritious foods around. Wash, bake, and serve with free range butter. Nothing better! (Do not, do not, use canned potatoes, the poorest around, and then glop up with the worst sugary stuff around!) Then, make some apple pies, with pie apples and fresh flour and butter. How about some greens with nut gravy? How about some salad with mandarin orange slices? How about some mixed nuts instead of my old favorite: Texas Trash. Notice where the recipe came from? The cereal companys. Read the ingredients there and forget it. Get some lightly salted nuts. Have fun. And while you are snacking, talk to your family, play games with them, and lay off too much screens. If you do screen, share the big one from far away. Okay? The first step in helping learning disabilities is to prevent them! Food has got to be part of the equation.
