Guest guest Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 We know lots of people over here from Europe. Most are shocked at the poor food we eat here. My husband has traveled thru Europe too, and he is amazed at how different the food quality and preparation is. Cyndi In a message dated 2/18/2007 3:05:53 P.M.

And I don't blame you for being angry, IF you are. And what's wrong with being controversial? If we all agreed with each other on everything, then we'd all be at McDonalds right now, lol. I'm angry too-but mostly with myself. I've eaten what the food pyramid said was good for me, and fed it to my family and pets too, I've gotten chemotherapy because the doctors said it was good for me, I've used carcinogenic chemicals in my home because they said it was good for my home to be germ free, I've eaten GMO foods and irradiated foods because it was progress, I've vaccinated my children and pets because they told me it was the only way to keep them healthy.......and I'm mad at myself for listening blindly. It's time we got mad. I DO believe in NT, for me personally, it makes sense, and it's the path "I" choose to follow. But I expect everyone to go their own path. Noone will change just because "we" know we're right, and they shouldn't. Everyone should make up their own minds. No answer is right for everyone. And WE HERE are the minority, everyone else thinks we're radical and nuts, lol. I love discussions like this, because it challenges my beliefs, and that's a good thing. For too many years, we've believed everything everyone has told us, and look where it's gotten us. I want to follow common sense rules, like eating REAL food, and I don't ever want to be so rigid that I refuse to change my opinion if it turns out to be wrong. I don't blame anyone for not agreeing with me, why should anyone be so gullible? Everyone needs to find out for themselves. It IS amazing how different food is in Europe. I don't blame them for thinking we are the stoopidest people on the planet for allowing ourselves to be fed this stuff. But we have noone to blame but ourselves-we've ASKED the government to do this, and thanked them for it! We keep voting for the same people, and we get the same results. We sue over frivolous issues, and the law changes to favor the few and overrule common sense. We've ignored the advent of unhealthy food and overconsumption and believed what Big Business told us we needed. What we NEED is each other, to challenge our beliefs, strengthen our resolve, and support each other in our basic agreement-REAL food and SIMPLE lifestyle. If we don't all agree on the definition of those things, that's ok, too. Ok, now I'm the one that needs to shut up, lol. There's nothing wrong with voicing your opinion, Barbara, OR ANYONE. Remember I told you to go ahead and do it? There's no need to fear controversy or disagreement.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 When I was growing up, all European countries were eating real foods. All fresh foods and all cooked from scratch. Just about the only canned food was tomato paste and sardines. I don't know about UK but....Europe rejects irradiated foods, genetically modified produce and meats from cloned animals. This is smart in my book. WE do not want those either, do we.... In September of last year my cousin and his wife went on the tour to Europe. They went to France, Switzerland, Germany and Poland. In all those countries the food is still cooked from scratch. Barbara Which European countries are you referring to? England is right behind us in poor health due to diet and exercise.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 hi cyndia et al in france and italy in particular the main meal of the day is a very important aspect of their life and they spend a lot of time around the table eating it, drinking wine and talking about their day. This long meal happens whether they are eating at home or in a restaurant. It used to happen in Ireland and still does to an extent but far more common now is the large roast on a sunday when the family gathers together for a leisurely meal which goes on half the day. In Scotland haggis is very often served for breakfast. Fascinating reading all the different customs.

In all those countries the food is still cooked from scratch. Barbara *************** I was just going through reading some older posts and this one triggered a memory I had forgotten about. It serves to reinforce the difference in the US diet and the Eroupean diest.....except for urban England, which Noelle pointed out has as bad a track record as us for healthy eating.lol Back in the mid 80's, I had a friend. She married a Frenchman. He was/is a baker. He had 3 kids from a previous relationship over in France. After 3 yrs. of marriage, they managed to get custody of his kids and brought them over to the US from France. The kids ranged in age from 7-12. Carol didn't speak French and the kids spoke almost no English. Their father was never home, always at the bakery working. Also being a typical french male(lol), he didn't want to be bothered with home stuff unless it was 'serious' and important. After the kids had been here about 3 months, Carol was complaining about how no matter what she cooked for the kids, they wouldn't eat it. She couldn't ask them why they didn't eat & they couldn't tell her if they did understand her question. Carol was feeding them the typical american kid diet....hot dogs and beans, pb & j, salad had tons of dressing on it, breaded chicken strips/nuggets w/dipping sauces, kraft mac & cheese, beefaroni/ravioli stuff, kid cereals or pancakes/waffles for breakfast, veggies were dousing in sugar or cheese sauce....you get the picture. I told her to ask her hubby to ask them what was wrong with the food. Easier said than done with him(I won't go into what a 'piece of work' HE was!lol). She finally did screw up her courage and ask him to talk to the kids. They told him that all the food was too sweet! Even when she cooked from scratch, everything got heaps of sugars put into it, by way of sauces. Yes, they did eat cake and sweets but their diet over in France(outside of the desserts)was not full of sugar like the typical us kid's diet(and alot of american adults' diets too.lol). On a different note.....I got my 1st jar of coconut oil yesterday. What should I cook with it first? ;-) sluggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 I do have some coconut oil, but I haven't used it for cooking yet. I mostly just add it to my Kefir smoothies. I know there are reams of paper out there devoted to cooking with it, but I haven't read any of it. I know people use it to fry their foods in, just like you would use any other oil.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Very unfortunate, SAD (standard American diet) diet Pun intended. As for a coconut oil, I'm sure you will get better replies Sluggy but you can use it just like any other cooking oil. I don't use it that way because I use butter in all my cooking. Since I'm buying mine extra virgin, there is still the smell and taste of coconut in it and I prefer butter flavor. Barbara She finally did screw up her courage and ask him to talk to the kids.
