I just add some ground, dried herbs (usually rosemary and basil) to the olive oil and refrigerate, stirring once or twice (if I remember) while it solidifies. Once solidified, it's a nice spread but reverts to liquid quickly if left out for any length of time. It's tasty, very easy to make and healthy. .-= Crystal´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.ruggedcanyonjewelry.com/2010/04/40th-anniversary-of-earth-day-april-22.html" rel="nofollow">40th Anniversary of Earth Day - April 22, 2010</a> =-.

Legal amounts of pus? You've got to be kidding me. Although I've done a lot to clean up my diet, I'm not quite ready to go vegan as yet. But you're right. The internet makes it a lot easier to research stuff (sometimes I wish I hadn't). Oh man, I’m sick to my stomach. Legal amounts of pus? You’ve got to be kidding me.

I ate dairy products for years and was not allergic to it, to my understanding - but, in going vegan a few years ago and stopping dairy (I was already vegetarian) my skin cleared up and what I had thought to be some sort of early onset arthritis went away completely. I had stopped eating dairy because I did not like the way animals are treated, but my health has benefited and I feel better than I have in years. I am not saying everyone will... it is up to everyone to find out for themselves what is their healthiest diet... but all I am saying is with any animal products, it is what is NOT on the label that worries me. I am just so glad that the internet is now allowing people to see how their food is produced - the downed, ailing cows and sick chickens. They just exposed the dairy "farm" (i.e. "Factory") where Land o' Lakes gets milk for their butter! It was so disgusting and horrific - that was where I got my butter for years before going vegan. (p.s. I use earth balance and sometimes the vegan form of smart balance.) Thanks for considering some of these points I have made and best wishes to all who are taking back their health!
