Big Georges Journey

I grew up in believing that if one drinks his milk, eats all his food on his plate and eats plenty of meat that I will have robust health and grow up healthy and strong. Of course this seemed to make sense to me because everyone around me was doing this so it must be the right thing to do. How could so many people be wrong? Besides, while growing up my father worked in a meat factory in charge of maintenance, so I never questioned the consumption of meat at that time. I was raised with love and always saw my parents working hard. However their dietary habits were very questionable. People do, I believe, the best they know how to at that given time . I certainly did not have the best eating habits at that time.

Dulse

There is a tasty seaweed
On which I like to feed
Mineral rich, purple and salty dulse is
Good on salads, grains and pulses

I feel like a mermaid
Eating an Atlantis dish
To add a sea-like flavour
I needn't hurt a fish!

I sprinkle flakes on salad
Mix it into hearty stew
Blend it into veggie soup
Or snack on a piece or two!

I have two bits of pet dulse
Floating contentedly in a jar
Above a bed of stony gravel
In veganism… let's raise the bar!

How to Select Fruit

How to Select Fruits

  1. Buy in season when quality is highest and prices lowest.
  2. Don't buy more than you will use before they perish. Use it as soon as possible they will have a better taste.
  3. Don't buy damaged fruit unless damage is slight and you will use it immediately.
  4. Be careful how you handle fruit in stores so you don't ruin the fruit for others.
  5. Fruit should only be eaten when ripe. Some foods (bananas can be purchased green and ripened at home.
  6. Try to purchase organic fruit as much as possible for they are not sprayed with pesticides.
  7. Smell the produce and see if there is an unpleasant odour coming from the fruit.
  8. If fruit doesn't taste right it is better to disregard it than disregard your health.

Here are some tips for specific fruits:

Apples

Seasons: October through March.
Types: Golden Delicious, Red Delicious, Pippin, Golden Grimes, McIntosh, Jonathan and Winesap.
Selecting: Organic if possible. Apples are one of the most sprayed fruits. Apples should be firm and crisp with bright and shiny skin. Color is a sign of maturity in apples - high in color indicates maturity - and only apples picked when mature will have good flavor and texture.

Pesticides and Our Crops

In today's society we hear often the term pesticides. What are pesticides? Pesticides are harmful chemicals that are sprayed on produce to prevent insects from destoying the crop. That seems kind of odd doesn't it? Putting harmful chemicals on food that we will eventually consume. Do they realize that if insects and bugs are running away from these deadly chemicals what the chemicals would do in our bodies. Pesticides are a big business and in theworld of greed - money seems to be the biggest motivating factor.

Raw Lifestyle Transition

Here are some of the issues I have noticed some people go through while starting on a Raw lifestyle. These issues being low self-esteem and guilt.

When someone chooses this lifestyle they may experience detox (i.e. running noses, head aches, vomiting, skin eruptions etc.) and feel bad physically and mentally. Feeling bad physically makes sense, but feeling bad mentally doesn't.

Many people start to question going Raw as the problem and not the solution to their problems. They wonder

The Jesus Diet

In this article I will describe the Essene Fruitarian Diet practiced and advocated by Jesus Christ. While it is true that Jesus only required basic vegetarianism - no meat - to become a baptized disciple, it is also true that he strongly encouraged those who were able and willing to go on to become Essene Fruitarians. In this article I will explain what is meant by the term "Essene Fruitarian" (it does not mean what you most likely think it means!), as well as provide a step-by-step program divided into three phases which makes possible a gradual transition into the more esoteric dimensions of this diet. I will describe the physical and spiritual benefits of this diet. I will explain how you can follow this dietary regime in our modern world And. to make all of this as simple for you as possible. I end with a section devoted to daily meal plans.
