Thought for the day

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who as the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. [Theodore Roosevelt]

Food Farce

One of my pet subjects is the bill of good that we have been fed concerning our food supply.  We are obese, we don't get the right nutrients, and we are bombarded with reports of contamination and recalls of various so-called foods.  Walk into a grocery store and you find processed foods whose ingredient list reads like an organic chemistry text book.  The "fresh" vegetables are bred for looks and the ability to withstand shipping and contain fractions of the nutrients that would be found in a home garden raised product.

Here is a book that will really open your eyes and make you look at your food in a totally different way.
