I know it’s a strange thing to do, but I took a picture of my lunch. Home grown greens and radishes from seeds, hand made cheese from fresh from the udder goat milk – scrumptious! How many people who buy their food from the grocery store or vending machine are proud of their lunch?

Your right to eat healthy food and use supplements of your choice is rapidly vanishing, but every effort has been made to keep you in the dark about the coming nutricide. Codex Alimentarius is scheduled for full global implementation on December 31, 2009, and not a word has been spoken in main stream media about this threat to humanity. Yet, according to the projections of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), a minimum of 3 billion people will die from the Codex mandated vitamin and mineral guideline alone. As the clock ticks toward this irrevocable deadline, the Natural Solutions Foundation (NSF) and its medical director, Dr. Rima Laibow, are feverishly working to change Codex guidelines. They need your help. (more…)

A healthy immune system is vital to warding off disease. By eating fresh, healthy foods and building up a strong immune system, people can live healthier, more robust lives. Creating an indoor sprout garden is one way to supply the family with fresh, high-density nutrition that both city dwellers and homesteaders alike can do with minimal space and equipment.  (more…)

 


There's more to health than eating veggies!


goatThe time has come for goats to kid and for fresh goat cheese for the family. I use this recipe, but instead of store-bought goat milk, I use it fresh from the udder. The spices and other ingredients you can use for flavor are endless. Some of them are chocolate, mint, basil, oregano, garlic, onion, dill, and the list goes on. Whatever your favorite flavor is, you can have it your way with this simple homemade cheese recipe.

Fresh shows how cheap food is an illusion. CAFOs require the use of antibiotics for the crowded, mostly immobile herd to survive. This encourages the development of antibiotic-resistant super bugs. The price is paid somewhere – by the public and the environment…

Hope is found in Fresh. Diana Endicott of Kansas’ Good Natured Family Farms alliance runs a 400-acre organic and a 400-acre transition farm. She markets locally grown and raised farm products to locally owned and operated food markets.

David Ball runs one of those supermarkets. With the rise of Wal-Mart and other big box stores, he saw his family-run store dying, along with a once-thriving local farm community. Partnering with area farmers through Good Natured Family Farms, he helps to reinvigorate the local economy.

Most exciting for urbanites will be Will Allen’s Growing Power Community Food Center. He trains urbanites how to feed themselves in sustainable ways. His org (and blog) teach people how to develop sustainable community food systems that provide healthy, safe and affordable food. These alternatives are growing in popularity across the nation, as they employ more people and improve local economies. They also teach “civilized” people what we should never have forgotten: how to feed ourselves…

Barb’s note:

This is part one of a three-part article giving a clear and concise picture of the future and how we can prepare for it so that we become “collapse-proof.” Dmitry Orlov has been there and done that, so what he proposes is, IMHO, right on the money for those of us who survive the FEMA camps, martial law, and forced vaccinations.

Money to BurnThriving in the Age of Collapse Part 1

A while ago Matt Savinar proposed that I write an article that specifically addresses the situations and concerns of some of the visitors to his Web site. He was also kind enough to provide me with three profiles, each of which is a composite of many people. One profile is of a young professional, another is of a middle-aged couple, and a third is of a high school student. My task was to adapt my knowledge of the circumstances in which people in Russia found themselves after the Soviet economy collapsed to the needs of diverse people in the United States. This I have tried to do. Keep in mind, however, that these are not real people, and that although I sometimes offer them detailed advice on subjects such as education, law, finance, and medicine, I do not practice any of these professions, and what I express here is mere opinion.
