Comparative vs. Superlative Eating
When starting a new food journey, think in the comparative vs. the superlative. Thinking in the superlative on a daily basis is a recipe for failure. Years of poor eating choices and poor eating habits cannot be fixed overnight. It takes weeks, months and sometimes years of incremental changes. Looking at your daily food choices [...]
Don’t Mess with Mother Nature
There are some things man is not supposed to do. Screwing around with seeds is one of them. God created this earth perfectly the first go ‘round. There is no need to try to improve on perfection. If you have viewed any of the videos recommended on the About page (especially Food Matters and The [...]
Vegetarian, Vegan or Whole Food
After filling my head with more information than I could stand, I decided it was time to do something. Before I go any further, here’s a tip; although we shared the titles of food documentaries in the About Real Food post, don’t do like I did and watch all of them over a period of [...]
Finding Real Food
Throughout this blog I’ll be using real food and whole food interchangeably. It is my opinion that most of the food found in the average grocery store isn’t real. It’s got more chemicals, preservatives and additives than real food. Let’s take Cool Whip for example. Wired magazine did an article about its ingredients. No sense [...]
The Future of Our Food
If you or anyone you know eats food, you should be aware of the information contained in the movie “The Future of Food .” Realizing how important it is to get this information out to the general public, the creators of the movie have made the movie available for free (without commercial interruptions). The movie [...]
Real Food Adventures
This post used to be the “About” page on a blog I recently created. Instead of continuing with the new blog, I thought it would be better to combine the contents of that blog with this one. I had originally created the blog entitled Real Food Adventures, when I became aware of several disturbing practices [...]
How to Make Homemade Chicken Bacon
Turkey bacon or pork bacon, which one is healthier? Honestly, I’m not going to take sides in the debate. I used to eat turkey bacon because I believed it was healthier then I thought about it for a moment. They’re both processed foods so how healthy can either of them be? Rather than stand in [...]
Salty Turkey Cold Cuts
I stopped by the grocery store last night to pickup cold cuts for my daughter’s school lunch. She told me she was tired of peanut butter and apple sandwiches (I was also tired of making them). It was late and the cold cut counter was closed so I picked up a package of Sara Lee [...]
The Wonders of Vitamin K
As a result of one of my reader’s comments, I did a little research on Vitamin K. He suggested checking out vitamin K because I had shared my experience about my brain calcification scare. Thanks Stew for the heads up. Apparently vitamin K helps the blood to clot normally, and helps to prevent heart disease. [...]
One Small Sip Towards Health
What do you do when you’ve reached a point in your life where the sum of your earlier actions is resulting in less than stellar health? You find the numbers on the scale are a bit higher than you’d like and your energy level is lower than you’d like. How do you begin to reverse [...]
Why is My Aluminum Foil Dissolving?
Back in the old days, aluminum foil was used to wrap just about everything. Kids went to school with their lunch box fully packed with sandwiches wrapped in aluminum foil. Pickles were wrapped in aluminum foil and so were the homemade snacks. Just about everything we carried in our lunchbox was wrapped in aluminum foil [...]
Removing Pesticides: Juicing Non Organic Produce
As I watched the Oprah show and saw 85 year old billionaire, David Murdoch, go to Costco to purchase his fruits and vegetables for juicing, it brought to mind the question,”Should he be juicing non organic vegetables?” By the way, I can’t be sure but it sure looks like he uses the Jack LaLanne Juicer [...]
No Thanks, I’ll Have Butter
Butter gets a bad rap, but in my book I’ll pick butter over margarine any day. I used to buy into the ‘margarine is better than butter’ hype, but no more. Trans fat free and low in cholesterol spreads such as Promise and I Can’t Believe it’s Not Butter, Country Crock and a host of [...]
Quick, Easy and Healthy Fried Pizza
Last night I wanted pizza, but I didn’t want to order pizza because I didn’t want the traditional white dough pizza, or the traditional thin crust white dough pizza or the Sicilian sliced white dough pizza. Do you notice a reoccurring theme here? I didn’t want the white dough pizza. I was lazy and hungry [...]
Kitchen Gadgets That Make Healthy Cooking Easier
In today’s day and age with prices rising with no end in sight, people may accidentally start eating healthier. It’s cheaper and healthier to cook from scratch. Every cloud has a silver lining and maybe a healthier society is the silver lining on this cloud of increased cost of living. Although it is not absolutely [...]
