Non-GMO and organic food resources

I thought that I was doing pretty well with my Wellness Avenues Page until I saw THIS!  Wow!  This page gave a non-GMO report that has many others that I've seen beaten.

The Organic and Non-GMO report listed all kinds of resources for people who are trying to avoid GMOs.  They listed organic and non-GMO companies, companies registered with the non-GMO project, companies that advocate non-GMO farming and so on and so forth.  If you are one who is REALLY trying to keep your diet clean, you need to skim through the report below (click link).

Comic Relief

You've gotta love John Stewart.  He is possibly the only person on the planet who can make me laugh about Monsanto's nonsense.  I loved how he included Bill from School House Rock in his presentation.

I would like to warn readers about some vulgarity in the video though.  I usually don't post even if there is a hint of vulgarity.  But because some of the vulgarity was censored, and because video is both hilarious AND informative, I felt that the benefits outweigh the disadvantages of the presentation enough to post it.

Though somewhat informative, I ultimately posted this video is for laughs.  Enjoy!

Green Banana Porridge Correction

I just received a phone call from my father who corrected me on what I said in my last post.  I said that the banana to use is a large cooking banana.  I also said that I've never cooked the bananas that we're all familiar with, but it may very well work... well, dad just confirmed today that they will.

I didn't think that the bananas that we commonly eat will work in this recipe merely because of my personal experience.  The only bananas that I've ever actually seen anyone cook are those large cooking bananas.  It was those same bananas that was used in the video as well.  I actually cooked a regular ripe banana once, and it came out kind of soggy and mushy... not like how it comes out when I cook those ripe cooking bananas.

So I stand corrected, and apologize.  The good news is, it will be MUCH easier to find the main ingredient for this recipe.  So find yourself a green banana, make your family a nice warm bowl of porridge!

Green Banana Porridge Part II

I forgot to mention that the bananas used in the green banana porridge recipe are different than the bananas that we Americans commonly put in our fruit bowls along with apples and pears.  The bananas used for this recipe are bigger and they are commonly used for cooking in several cultures.  Unfortunately, I know these bananas when I see them, but I'm not sure what they are called in this country.  They call it plantain in Jamaica and I've heard Puerto Ricans, Dominicans and other Latinos refer to them as platanos.  If you ask your grocer for plantain or platanos, they may be able to help you if they carry these cooking bananas.  The bad news is, I don't see many grocery stores that have them; the good news is, I don't shop at conventional grocery stores (so the may have them though I'm not aware of it).

I realize that many people find this post most unnecessary, but I've had friends who saw these bananas in my home and were fascinated by them; this tells me that there are some people who may need this information in order to make this recipe work well.  If you use the common bananas, it may very well work, but I couldn't promise because I've never used those bananas for cooking before.

Well, I hope this post helped some of you!  Either way, enjoy!

Happy Memorial Day

To all our troops, to all of the families who lost loved ones who fought for us and to everyone who fought for and protected our country; I just want to say thank you!

Happy Memorial Day 2013!

The May 25th March

More and more people are becoming informed, educated and aware of how politics has slithered its way into agriculture and took a venomous bite out of the rights of the people.  More and more people are also learning that the culprit behind this fiasco is mostly Monsanto.

Here is another individual who spoke on behalf of a farmer named Ethan (of One Badger Farms) and other farmers who have had many problems with the FDA (Monsanto).  I couldn't resist his sweet, beautiful alpaca and apparently neither could anyone else who approached.

The audio is slightly messed up and I didn't get a chance to edit this, but I thought it was still okay for viewing though it was not polished.

Enjoy!

The March Against Monsanto

The March Against Monsanto in Colorado was today at noon.  The picture above was taken before the actual march.  Sadly, I didn't get to stay, but I got a chance to talk to some people and I filmed a little of key note speaker Jeffery Smith.  It was amazing and terrible to hear some of the horror stories that are happening right here in the land of the free.

I will be posting some of these  videos to let every health freedom activist know that they absolutely are not alone.  There are many who are with you and who fight on your behalf.
