Recommended by Fred & Louise: "Real Food" by Nina Planck

Such an easy read, such an important topic. Unless you like getting sick a lot, having allergies, being depressed and having mood swings, being fat, inexplicable fatigue, having insomnia, arthritis, back pain, being at risk for the multitude of inexplicable "autoimmune disorders," not to mention diabetes and cancers.


You'll be shocked as just how wrong everything is that we eat. Only, then you'll keep researching it like I've been doing for the past many months, and then you'll be thrilled that things like (grass-fed) saturated fat and cholesterol are so good for you. And you'll throw away all your low-fat "milk", and shake your head at how many egg yolks you threw away.

And finally, you too will want to raise goats.

P.S. I can't wait to get my hands on some lard from grass-fed pigs! At least I have a couple pounds of grass-fed tallow (beef fat) waiting for me in the meantime -- tallow-fried potatoes are supposed to be out of this world, and GOOD FOR YOU?! Who knew??

I'll betcha Fred & Louise knew. That's who.

Sorry, girl. No such a thing as "grass-fed Pork." Corn, potatoes, garbage, yah. Not Grass.
