Well, if I was not too evolved for it and did not know better, I might recommend a good dose of that bourbon food group.
but since I can’t in good conscience suggest that, do you have a friend that knows how to tickle really well?
🙂
Seriously, best wishes with all those challenges. Here’s to each one having a delicious soft center for you, once you chew through that tough outer rind.
Kyla,
Oh :::smacking head:::: Ok I get it. :::laughing::::. I have been dealing with so much serious stuff lately I am not getting jokes easily.
My daughter’s head injury is still causing headaches so she is going in for an MRI today. Three weeks ago, a free-standing hammock pole fell on her head and she has had a CT scan and three visits (ER and two doctor visits) and still a lot of headache pain. We have to find out what it is because the pain is not stopping.
Then there’s my father who is 80, has suffered several shocks in the past three months; (his falls, his wife dying, moving to a new state, a car accident that has given him whiplash pain, anemia, and a bad fall requiring several stitches and hospitalization to deal with his anemia, and med issues), he is needing me because I am the only one he has left of the kids he acknowledges. I have emotional issues about him as well; he basically ignored me and my kids in favor of his barfly- selfish wife.
My own emotional issues with having feelings for another person besides my husband (but not acting on them because of complications and not knowing if the other person returns the feelings).
My husband’s school has not offered contracts to any of the teachers so he may be out of a job next school year which means an even bigger drop in our already very low income.
Feelings of needing to do something that is a second life-calling (besides being the full-time mother that I love being). But not knowing how to go about it without taking away from my kids and the time they need from me. Also worrying about how the doing of it would impact them because it is about sex and we live in a small town and my husband is an elementary teacher; I don’t think it would reflect well on him if I suddenly became the Dr. Ruth Westheimer (sex education) of our town.
In short (that was short?) I have been waay too serious lately. So thanks for the levity reminder, Kyla. :::smiling:::
Hey, Carrie, yes I agree. what is bad for the body is all the modified foods, transfats are a biggie as is high fructose corn syrup. Was looking at cherries in the store and thinking, if they would sell me some that are not poisoned (i.e. with chemical growing methods) I’d buy them….. it really is that they sell posioned food, looks good smells good usually but not good. here, have an apple my dearrrrrrrr.
I don’t eat pork since I read that pigs are as smart as humans. But that’s just my illogical sensitivities. I really do agree with jere, the key is learning to really listen to the body. And I was kind of making a joke along the lines of the Four Southern Food Groups. You know, white flour, white sugar, bacon grease, and bourbon.
🙂
Perfectly illustrates the typical corporate-sponsored American diet that has so many sick and obese.
Oh and Kyla? Bacon isn’t as bad for you as trans fats are. I should know. The worst foods for most people are the refined carbs and sugars and high fructose corn syrup. HFCS is in almost everything and what it does to the body is egregious.
For any woman with endometriosis, anything soy is Big Trouble because it is estrogenic and can cause worsening of symptoms.
Best way to eat is the way that feels right to your body. For me, it is NO carbs at all. Just low-carb veggies (a lot of leafy greens, brassicas, green beans, but NO corn, peas, beans, carrots), no fruit except the occasional apple or the berries, and most meats are ok inclusing bacon. Avocados, fish oils, nut oils, natural (no additives or sugars) nut butters, some cheese (but not too much because of the milk sugars in them) and lots of water. Coffee or tea is ok with heavy cream (only 2 T per 16 oz cup) and stevia for sweetening.
No desserts, sweets, grains of any kind, rice, tortillias, bread, potatoes, corn products, snack foods, or soft drinks.
This way of eating has helped me lose 125 lbs since last May and I feel better while eating this way. Every time I deviate I feel awful. Who needs a chart and government sanctioned diets when your own body will tell you what you need?
yes it is also a Big Mac, fries and a Coke!
Heyy, that looks like the school lunch menu at my daughter’s public school! I’m going to print this graphic and post it on my fridge as a goodly reminder to maintain the vigilance to keep her away from this stuff. Love the smattering of pills around the plate.
I’m reveling in the fact that I had none of that on my plate today. The hot dog and milkshake at The Jolly Cow may have besmirched me a bit but we all have a dot of darkness in that white yin.
..I just think it’s funny as shit I can’t buy a Cubensis loaded syringe in this freakin’ country, when I can pay taxes to keep a ‘war’ on ‘drugs’ going so brilliantly, that a bunch of people die, and only a few get rich…
..fuck this shit, I’m doin’ it myself.
Jere
Natto, miso. It’s a ferment. Specific culture.
..As far as the manufacturers go.. ?
..You could probably find some recipe/youtube/tutorial ..somethin’, somewhere, regarding how to homebrew this shit…
(Ferments are bad-ass when you can use ’em!).
Jere
Natto rocks! fondly referred to as “stinky beans’ by my friend Yasu,
I was introduced to it when he would bring it to work in a little bowl.
my fav. way is as nigiri sushi… yum!!
peace.
out!
Jere, there you go again! Cutting right to the heart of it.
thanks.
🙂
um, a “weird soy stuff” called “natto???”
sounds scary. any time eric has pointed me to the mercola website, i can’t get past the graphic design to actually read it — it’s so…. hyper. and advertise-y.
and i’m suspicious of “soy products.” between the amount of genetically modified soybeans and the level of processing i understand even tofu undergoes, i’m not so sure it’s always a “health food.” although, there’s a local farm that apparently grows its own organic (and, i think, non-GMO) soybeans to make their own tofu. i should see if i can get a tour of their operation.
Yes!!! Natto!!! 🙂
..I was tryin’ to hold out, but this was too damned hilarious!
..Fuck!? Does anybody pay attention to their ‘own’ bodies these days?
Does it take an agency to make it real?
..I’ve actually been thinking about fishing and hunting (with a bow) lately, and I haven’t eaten flesh in 17 freakin’ years!
Somethin’ weird’s goin’ down the pike…
..Maybe a little more attention?…
Jere
Eric – Are you thinking of natto? Haven’t had it either and the descriptions of it haven’t exactly made me want to run out and try it.
Mrs. Mercola’s dinners must involve some trippy combo of raw eggs, krill oil (only the super clean, high quality kind that Mercola himself manufacturers), and whey (the rare kind that comes from organic, antibiotic-free, free-ranging cows and is processed at a very low heat so as not to disturb the amino acids in the whey).
I like his site too but I get edgy after a while trying to figure out what I CAN eat.
Geez…..do you think the FDA has an in house competition on whoever can be more outrageous while believable, can design the poster?….I think so…at least thats what the bag of Jax said to me tonight…or maybe it was Peter Pan, Im not sure….
Peace,
Patricia
I want to do a menu for Mercola’s Restaurant. Kristina — what is that really weird soy stuff that Mercola likes? I’ve never actually had it.
What else would you eat at Mercola’s? I love that website but every time I read it I wonder what Mrs Mercola makes for Dr Mercola and the kids. Any ideas?
I can see that the “average” person in the US has this kind of set up at meal time, but I don’t think the actual new system looks terrible. At least it’s a step in the right direction and it makes things much clearer about what we’re “supposed” to be eating. The only thing I wouldn’t do as far as the new thing goes is the milk component, since I don’t eat any animal stuff at all, that would be water, I guess, or something like that.
Wait. Wait. Where’s the bacon.
Love it! Fucking hilarious….. :-))
Whoa – that was an eye opener. Nothing like spelling it out for us in graphic detail!
My family of origin were from Oklahoma. Been cleaning out closets and found a box of old photos of my mom’s that dated back to the 1920’s and moved forward through the decades. One thing that really stood out was how obese many of my cousins became starting from the 1960’s onwards.
Would be interesting to know when the food ‘industry’ started which pernicious ingredients that decade.
I reckon it’s the key to the whole pyramid.
reminds me of the old Simon game (from the 80s) –
“Simon’s a computer, Simon has a brain, you either do what Simon says or else go down the drain”
That kind of reminds me of the “mondrian” look from the 1960’s complete with round, white-framed go-go sunglasses and short white go-go boots.
But where is the color swatch for “french fry”?
wow — that *is* a real shift! the rda for gluten used to be twice that of trans fats.
AWESOME!!!!!!!
speaking of HFCS! soon to be labeled ‘corn sugar’???errr
here’s a short article on:re-labeling;
(be it for political maneuvering or consumerism, etc.)
the guy IS a marketing & strategy consultant, so take that as it is his POV,
…I thought it was pretty good & succinct….quick read…
http://www.stephendenny.com/2010/11/re-labeling-isnt-re-branding-and-corn-sugar-is-still-high-fructose-corn-syrup/
peace.
Wow, Carrie.
