Guest guest Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Hi Wee, I do not understand why you don't see your posts. You're not on moderation and they show in the archives. That's very strange. Send me a test off list. thelilacflower Have you looked in the homepage posts? Want to try a different mail setting? I know you had this problem when you first joined. Thank you for all the compliments regarding the group. The members are wonderful and you are one of them, Donna Wee K Chew <techiewee wrote: Hi, I am honoured but I can still be wrong in my humble opinion, lol :-) This minute, I have little evidence to back my opinions. On your last point, it is just as quick to make good food to eat. By the time one gets to the *fast food shop*, probably be sitting down and eating already, hehe, lol :-) Judging from the *quick fix recipes* I saw posted here, it does not take that long to cook good food. My sister in Switzerland told me to serve smaller portions of *expensive organic food*. But increase the portions for the *cheaper organic food*. Hey, this I find is a good compromise and making good economic sense :-) Eating healthy doesn't have to be expensive if some thought process is invested. After all, you are what you eat, ha, lol :-) They are 4 of us in the family and all of us are extremely fit. I don't even exercise although I am blessed with a job that requires a lot of dexterity. Clearly, this is evident and a good testimonial that eating healthy make sense and doesn't have to be expensive. Keep the recipes coming. I enjoy reading all the banter and the great recipes that are posted here :-))) The information posted here are simply *incredible*. PS. I don't appear to see my own posts and I don't know why :-( I can see all the replies though :-( Best Wishes, Wee On Behalf Of Guru Khalsa Thursday, May 04, 2006 3:11 AM RE: Americans are sicker than British Wee, You could very well be right. I have never been to Europe. I can think of 3 of the top chefs in the US that are into fresh and organic and cutting edge foods. Alice Waters pretty much started the fresh food and organic food trend in the US and possibily in Europe also. Charlie Trotter wrote a book on raw food " cooking " with Roxanne Klein. Rick Bayless also from Chicago is cutting edge Mexican and fusion cooking. So far they have not pulled in the masses. The US started the worldwide conservation movement in probably the late 1800's with Teddy Roosevelt and he also started the first national park in the world. The US started the environmental movement with the publication of " Silent Spring " by Rachel Carson in 1962. Earth Day was started by William Proxmire, a US Senator in 1970. Since then Europe has outleaped us by far in the environment and healthy eating. I think a lot of it has to do with economics. People here always watch their pocketbooks. Organic and healthy food is usually more expensive (on the surface). Later on it will catch up in hospital bills. We don't look that far ahead. Also, in our harried lives, people just want a quick " fix " and head to the nearest crack - make that fast food - joint. GB Gurubandhu If you cannot see God in all, You cannot see God at all.
