Well by now we’ve all digested the news that the public water supplies from virtually every municipality tested has come up positive for this chem/drug soup-a-cha-call-it. This includes every prescription drug you can think of including antidepressants and sex hormones. .. Now before you run to the tap because this sounds like fun consider this, you’re not getting just this drug or that..you’re getting the whole darn pharmacy and then some. “But they’re in such small amounts that they’re harmless.” Ya right, based on your untrustworthy conventional nothing ever to worry about opinion. No thanks. [...click to contimue reading...]
That’s what a architect from NYC said was her impressions of the place. She was on assignment on a new building going up and was despaired over the total lack of culture there. On one level it’s impressive, big and outrageous. There’s the Venetian and also the drive-through wedding chapel. Huh. As previously mentioned I was there regarding some technical presentations for engineered equipment. This is the type of equipment doing some serious good in the world such as making drinking water safe, helping diabetes patients save their limbs and preparing dialysis fluid to help those [...click to contimue reading...]
Well, in a moment of insanity I agreed to go to Vegas to give a few talks. This will be a major challenge to organic living. .. How do you keep organic when the conventionals control the food supply? So far I’ve come up with stashing healthy snacks in the laptop bag and bringing a can of soy protein in my suitcase for late night chemical-free protein fixes. Anyway, been preparing, that’s why the past few days have been post-free. Sorry about that. Won’t be back until next Saturday so have a great week my friends and wish [...click to contimue reading...]
Over the weekend I visited my parents who are still doing good .. well into their 80′s. My father always ate vegi’s and worked hard. My mother too ate well and was a very hard worker. Great people, sometimes they can’t believe I’m actually related to them. But however great it is to visit them, it’s always a bit of a challenge since they’re constantly pushing the Wheat Thins, the cookies, the cheese, the “this” and the “that”. Absolutely nothing organic and it’s tough to convince people who manged to thrive into old age without it, [...click to contimue reading...]

Last night my date was running late so had to take a detour, run into Whole Foods, made up a couple of salads & bought a pound of wild haddock. Just had time to put something together before heading out the door (had tickets so we had to get out of there). Tossed the salads with some extra virgin olive oil and vinegar. Set aside. Then set out a deep plate so hold some milk and fried the fish: Fried Haddock What you’ll need: 1 Pound of Fresh Wild (not Farmed Raised Haddock) Deep Dish [...click to contimue reading...]

Had to quickly pick up some Kale last night so was forced to go the conventional route at the local Biggie Mart. If you’ve ever tried to wash Kale you’ll know that the stuff acts like it’s totally waterproof. That is, water will not wash over it but beads up .. “like water on a duck’s back”. Anyway, all I could think about when eating this was what industrialized chemical was I chewing and swallowing. This totally disgusted me and made me realize that sometimes even in a pinch it’s better to go without then buy [...click to contimue reading...]
So have been running with the experiment of living without Gluten, Dairy, Nuts or Coffee just to get myself totally detoxed and level set to a completely healthy state. And so far the results have been fantastic… am able to go to bed earlier..sleep like a rock and wake up totally refreshed as opposed to being all grogged up from a food sensitivity hangover. Also, we’re talking about feeling this good while getting up at 4:30 AM .. Nice.

I’ve been spending more time travelling lately for my business which makes it even more challenging to live Organic, Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free. There’s a ton of food available out there but the conventional crowd has quite literally fouled it up in one way or another. Did a few things that didn’t work out.. One was this mix of precooked vegi’s that included things such as sweet potatoes. That didn’t work too well as the sweet potatoes sort of melted as the day wore on and turned into this orange mush. ..Not good. A few good things [...click to contimue reading...]

We recently posted a recipe for Organic Vegetable Soup..After several trials and tweakings we arrived at a great soup…However, when the recipe was transcribed to the post the ingredients and cooking time from an earlier test batch was used..Our bad. Please use Sweet Potatoes instead of Yams or Butternut Squash (and yes there is a difference between Yams and Sweet Potatoes)…and increase the cooking time to 28 minutes.. What happened was that a batch was made up using the posted recipe..A “What happened to the taste and where’s the orange color type of moment”..So if [...click to contimue reading...]

It a myth..part of the big lie..”The farmer in order to remain competitive must utilize the most modern methods of production.”..Riiight.. Well, like the Cambodian Rice Farmers highlighted in a previous post this is a case of farmers saying no to chemicals and inhumane practices while becoming more profitable at the same time.
