A week of food

Happy people eat this in one week. Look Ma no packaging.
Got this lovely image from a blog I like :

This picture is showing the food this family consumes in one week. Look at the lack of plastic, paper waste. It looks like every bit is recyclable.

Look at how many banana's they consume! What a terrific and healthy diet this is. Even though I try, I still have so much stuff that comes in packages. If I try and buy organic food from my local grocery it usually comes packaged in individual units swathed in plastic. If the plastic does not have a number on it it cant be recycled.
And we think we are so lucky to live here in America with all the food we have. I think we stuff our faces with far too much food. All the fast food is so cheap that we can eat all we want any time. We have no self controll, just instant gratification. And instant heart attacks and cancer.

Me & my Dad in the kitchen

This is a picture I found of me & my Dad in the kitchen. My Dad would never go raw or even consider it! He is a meat and potatoes kind of guy. In general I think eats healthy. He used to have us eat Roman Meal Bread when we were kids because he said it was better for us. None of the other kids ate the brown bread like we did.

My Dad can really pack away the food, I guess that is called a healthy appetite. He likes different types of food but just don't take him to a Sushi place or he will be very unhappy. Just the sight of the raw fish will cause him to get up and leave. I think he might like the Hot Sake if he ever tried it. I just Love Love Love Hot Sake.

He can cook some good dishes and when I was younger he used to make this German dish of ribs, mixed with potatoes and sauerkraut. It was all cooked up together in a pot on the stove and the smell was wonderful.

He does not approve of me eating vegetarian. He thinks you need meat to stay alive. I disagree.

Spicy Cabbage

Speecy Spicy Cabbage

This was my dinner last night. It was just the right amount of food. I think we all just stuff ourselves with much more food than we actually need. Indulge on the Holidays but for everyday we can live & survive on so much less food than we think. If you eat more uncooked food.....Raw Food....you will be less hungry because your blood sugar levels stay much more stable.

I made extra of this Cabbage Stuff so I have a lunch already for today. The cabbage gets better as it marinates over night and it also develops some of the beneficial microbes that you get in Sauerkraut. You don't need mayonnaise on this for it to taste great but I love Mayo so sometimes I add some. Mayo is a health food. Yes indeedy it is, if made properly. What is Mayonnaise? It is oil, lemon juice & eggs. Make your own if you have a Cuisinart as it is simple to do.

I topped it off with the Raw Hummus & Avocado. I also like it a bit spicy so I added some cayenne to the cabbage and then sprinkled some on top of the finished dish. Just lovely.

Now away from Cabbage:::::

Today is Martin Luther King Day. God Bless MLK! He had so much wisdom. His thoughts on nonviolence are very strong and very true. Here is a quote of his::: Hate is too great a burden to bear. I choose Love. I Still Choose Love.:::::

MLK is someone I look up to and honor for all he did. I think he knew he would be killed so he lived his life as outspoken as he could. He spoke truth to power.
