What is Whole Food ?
An Orange or an Apple is Whole Food.
Neither Orange Juice nor Apple Juice is Whole Food. There both are processed.
A Baked Potato is Whole Food.
Fried Potatoes are not Whole Food.
Beans are a Whole Food. Sure, you need to cook them. And no, you do not have to add a pound of dead pig carcass, nor a pound of salt to make it taste better.
Remember, there are things with the Standard American Death Diet (SADD), that have not been good for your Health. That is why I try to avoid doing the same old thing and getting the same results.
Spices with out salt or sugar added …. or strange chemicals, are good. Just KEEP ADDING THEM till ‘it’ tastes good.
But I want to share two places I get my ideas (other than my unusual, creative, imagination)…
FIRST in my experience was …..
www.forksoverknives.com
Watch the movie ! Watch it again.
Follow them on Facebook. Sign up for Newsletters.
As far as actually putting what I had learned into practice, this was the place.
And no, I didn’t always follow the instructions word for word.
(Those who know me well, understand that aspect of my life. Plus I had no idea what Tahini was, nor where to buy it either…)
And I also stumbled across a site on Facebook that has become my go to place for recipes.
www.brandnewvegan.com
Again, follow him on Facebook, go to his Blog, his website and enjoy his recipes.
They are simple and I enjoy them, and I am sure you will too.
And do not be afraid brandnewvegan will try to ‘milk you’ you into pledging to run naked through the Dairy Section of the local Grocery carrying signs testifying to the insane levels of PUS allowed in Bovine Lactation Juice Secretions …
{ I wonder if you pour milk down the sink IF it will eventually clog the plumbing like grease? … oh sorry! My mind just wandered off for a moment there. I better moooove back to the subject in hand before I udderly spill the milk bucket….}
OK… get started there.
One word of advice, be careful of the FLOOD of voices, personalities, fads, and gimmicks.
I soon found I was getting to feel like I was at a pissing match of a bunch of good ol boys seeing who could spit watermelon seeds the farthest. ( yeah, you know I cleaned that up a little…. right?)
Keep it simple.
Are you in a hurry? Eat a baked potato. Eat two… ok eat three. There is a big meal.
REALLY!
One day I had a half of a head of Purple Cabbage for lunch. Were my jaws sore!
Oh yea! It was raw and delicious!
The Whole Carrots? Oh yeah! I can graze on those for a long time. Especially when I am driving on a long trip…. like, all the way to Fort Worth.
On Saturday evening when Betty and I are going into Fort Worth for some Boot Scootin’ and Belt Buckle Buffing…. I always take four Apples for eating in travel.
(Someday, I will tell you why I am eating the old Fashion Washington Delicious type these days…. but, that is another Blog, for another day….)
Please remember….
KEEP IT SIMPLE!
and as always, I AM FREE FROM …. Counting, Measuring, Fearing.
No Calories Counted, No Protein Measured, NO CARBS FEARED!

I have to stop Blogging now. The Chief Editor, Elton LT is using the Lap Top at the moment.
