Passing on information
Today is my diversion day, so again a not strictly vegetarian post, 10 food blogs you should be following bloglovin.com
The Family dinner
So I am going too move away from vegetarian diet briefly. Have you noticed in your own household, in your own life how people eat on the go nowadays, society and peoples priorities are so geared that we don't have or allow time too, too prepare nice meals and sit down as a family unit and eat together, we'd rather drive through McDonalds and order a family meal, eaten in the carpark or out of boxes. My God where is our minds and hearts. Or a romantic dinner is going too a special restaurant and getting waited upon, (restaurant is french for restore your health by the way), it is nice but not as nice as candles and wine and dinner at home with your beloved (and less expensive). Of course my opinion is very old school, it goes along with the vegetarian diet lol. (5000 years old). But honestly I really think a well cooked meal, cooked with love not out of spite etc, all sitting together at the same time, good conversation, laughter, maybe a little alcohol and grace before the meal would go a long way towards creating a healthy and close and powerful family unit. (Preferably veg meal lol)

The secret of grains
Whole grains are natures energy packs, packed with all the nutrition, for the plant too grow. Actually when you eat them in there raw form they provide amazing carbohydrates throughout the day, because they are actually seeds. When you eat a T bone steak for example, that also provides nutrients and carbohydrates, particularly iron, but the amount of money spent on feeding that cow is enormous (most are grain fed) and when it is killed lots of fear hormones are released throughout the cows body, and it takes the human gut 10 times the time too digest the steak, so steer (lol) clear of eating slaughtered cows if possible, The cows just eats grass anyway, so cut out the middleman (cow) and eat the grass instead (or close too it) , barley or wheat etc, all grass seeds.

The secret to a long and healthy life? Eating CEREAL: Diet high in grains 'reduces the risk of cancer, heart disease and diabetes'
- Eating an average of 34g (1.2 ounces) of whole grains a day was associated with a 17 per cent reduced risk of premature death, study found
- And a high consumption of cereal fibres had a 15 per cent and 34 per cent reduced risk of death from cancer and diabetes

Starting the day with a bowl of cereal or porridge could add years to your life, scientists claim.
A diet high in whole grains and cereal fibres reduces the risk of premature death from chronic diseases including cancer, heart disease, respiratory disease and diabetes.
Whole grains are the entire seed of a plant used for food and contain the germ, bran and endospore, such as wheat, oat and quinoa.
They are rich sources of dietary fibre and other nutrients such as minerals and antioxidants.

The Harvard Public School of Health research found eating an average of 34g (1.2 ounces) of whole grains a day was associated with a 17 per cent reduced risk of premature death.
This was compared with compared to those consuming an average of 3.98g (0.13 ounces).
Even when taking into account factors such as health, physical activity and obesity the reduction remained the same.
The researchers also assessed the risk of getting various conditions.
A diet high in whole grains was associated with an 11 per cent reduced risk of death from respiratory disease, and a 48 per cent reduction in the risk of diabetes.
- al fibres had a 15 per cent and 34 per cent reduced risk of death from cancer and diabetes.
The findings, published in the journal BMC Medicine, suggest that the cereal fibre component of whole grains accounts for the actions of the whole grains, and that cereal fibre-rich whole grain foods may have health benefits.
But because it was an observational study, researchers could not confirm that whole grains and fibre are causing this reduced risk.
However they believe the cereal fibre found in both food types - cereal fibre and whole grains - may have protective effects thanks to multiple protective properties such as anti-inflammation.
Protection: A high consumption of cereal fibres had a 15 per cent and 34 per cent reduced risk of death from cancer and diabetes, say the Harvard researchers
Associate Professor of Nutrition, Dr Lu Qi, said: 'Our study indicates that intake of whole grains and cereal fibre may reduce the risk of all-cause mortality and death from chronic diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory disease.'
The study involved involved an analysis of the the results of the NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study.
This involved 500,000 members of AARP - a membership organisation of people aged over 50 from California, Florida, Louisiana, New Jersey, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, and the metropolitan areas of Georgia and Detroit.
In 1993, volunteers were sent a questionnaire to gather information on their health and diet - based on frequency of intake for various food types including portion size.
Those who indicated in their initial questionnaires that they had cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes or end-stage renal disease were excluded from the study.
This meant a total of 367,442 participants were included in this particular research and were followed for an average of 14 years.

No thanks - life only seems longer when you chew your way through a bowl of soggy saw dust. I reckon the cardboard boxes they come in must taste better

Who writes this crap? Aside from oats/porridge, 99% of breakfast cereals are diabetes-in-a-bowl. ie, just sugar carbs, coated in sugar.

Porridge is the only cereal worth eating. The rest will do you more harm than good.

This propaganda infomercial is proof that the cereal-pushers are running scared that so many people are adopting a pre-agricultural ancestral diet.
