What a waste, you know some people out there would like to just not be hungry. Why not at the very least give to a food bank? The stuff won’t kill you, and in fact may save lives. Hunger is for real, don’t waste food, please.

I laud the attempts to reduce or eliminate processed food, but this is a bit on the fanatical side for me. I eat mostly whole foods, but why give up things like pasta?, I’m not going to sit there and waste precious hours of my time grinding whole wheat berries into flour, and I am definitely not giving up my parmesiano reggiano cheese and Sriracha chili sauce!!

It is great that this philosophy is seeing a revival but this is nothing new and revelatious, hasn’t anyone ever read “The Good Life” by the Nearings?? Us old hippy types have been against ADM types, chemicals, and GMOs for years, and we were labeled “communists” anti-American thrown out of relevance as the drug-induced radical counter-culture. We were even robbed of our “Organics” now owned by the federal government. Can’t even grow a vegetable now and sell it without the government telling you whether its organic or not. More power to you getting people back to the garden and eating how we were meant to!

Thank you so much for your comment.  I really appreciate.  It’s a pleasure to see that real food is finally getting some of the recognition it so deserves.  I’m so thankful for organizations like the Weston A Price Foundation and the Price Pottenger Nutritional Foundation that helped me to find my own way to real and traditional foods.

Good lard is only 40% SATURATED fat, with 48% MONOUNSATURATED and 12% POLYUNSATURATED fat. That is so very similar to the butterfat content of human breast milk.
Human breastmilk has slightly more saturated fat and less monounsaturated. Pasture raised lard also contains cancer fighting CLA and other essential fats we need.

Here is more detailed info on lard with references you might want to check out: http://footstepsfarm.com/footstepsfarmblog/2009/11/lard-facts-again.html

now, if i eat any take out food–other than a traditional mexican family restaurant that does the tortillas fried in lard (yes!!!)…I get horrid heart burn-=even if i take enzymes ahead of time…my body is extremely sensitive to fake fats–and white flour and processed foods…

Geoff–look back over time and see that what we “know” to be true in nutrition changes every few years–and a LOT of mistakes have been made–but the tried and true traditional diets of years past produced healthy people who had little if any cancer. Heart disease was unheard of…remember that saturated fats make up a majority of your cell membranes in your body and your hormones among other things…so, why would you starve your body of the building blocks it needs to create itself???? you dont hold back on the protien to build your muscles do you>?????

p.s. Do you know where I can get some BPA to sprinkle directly into my food instead of waiting for.ev.er to let it leach in over time?

Thanks!
