To me food is very important. I love good food. I love smelling garlic and herbs and spices all cooking away on the stove.
I am tired of all this non fat and low fat dairy and artificial sweetener and artificial fats they keep throwing out in grocery stores in all kinds of foods. I want to use real butter and fully fatted yogurt. I am very allergic to artificial sweeteners and it is getting dangerous for me to go into a grocery store because of how products with it in it spill and broken.
I believe that many people who have cardiac and neurological disorders could be having a bad reaction to aspartame and may not even realize they are ingesting it. Because so many foods do not have to list all ingredients if they are approved by the FDA or some such nonsense. I heard thru the grape vine that countries in Europe have to pay fines to not accept American foods but, because of the GMO and high artificial sweetener content of our food here in America the people in Europe reject it.
Anyway the battle for food freedom rages on across the globe in Europe and Asia people are fighting food standardization regulations set to devalue vitamin and mineral content and standardize herbs to low potency as well.
So my friends eat low on the food chain and buy whole foods that have only one ingredient. They are out there make sure you have some in your cabinets. Eat fresh and stay young my friends.

911 Emergency! Pollution Solution
In my heart I hurt for our planet the home of every one of us humans and of life as we know it. The fumes that are produced by vehicles and planes and factories are causing global warming. Does it not sink in that our home the place where we all live needs a good cleaning?
Let's keep it real simple and assign a day each year where driving and flying are prohibited? One day a year is all I am proposing.
One thing I remember so well about 9-11 is how blue the sky was for several days and I am sure that it had something to do with the flight schedules being canceled. Imagine if the whole world respected one day a year devoted to not driving or flying how much cleaning of our air would happen it would make us all more aware. This girl longs to see how blue the sky really is and the stars out at night wouldn't it be wonderful to see them? I hope...
**UP DATE** March 10 2001
Time is flying by and our air quality is becoming more and more of a real emergency. Also think about the cap-n-trade more taxes for the people to endure. This idea would end pollution problems and I am sure it would cost much less than the new tax will who will profit from this new tax follow the money think about it folks do the people need any more tax?
I am hoping that I can get more attention to this article if you are able to donate something towards the cost of buying some advertising it would be greatly appreciated.

Food and Behavior
I just read a great book titled Food and Behavior By: Barbara Reid Stitt.
She is a Probation Officer for children. What a wonderful and caring person she must be to have gone through the pain to find out why so many children become hardened criminals. She did her homework big time and found that most children with behavior problems also have hypoglycemia (Low blood sugar). It was also noted that very few children who's diet was changed failed to improve.
She found out that much research went into alcoholism in the 1970's. She found that a whooping 97% of all alcoholics are definitely hypoglycemic and that there are researchers who claim that all alcoholics are hypoglycemic. This book is very well referenced with many studies that show that food allergies and low blood sugar are the culprit for most children with behavior problems. It is written for regular people so you do not have a college degree to read it and understand.
Ms Stitt explains how a malnourished brain can cause out of control behavior leading to criminal acts and points out that most people who are in prison also have low blood sugar and are fed diets that perpetuate the problem. In doing her research she also found that most people with mental illness also are suffering from with low blood sugar and malnutrition of the brain. Drugs will never cure these problems but food will...
Please, please read this book if you have children with behavior problems or, who are in prison or, if you are a person with alcohol issues or mental health issues. The biggest crime of all is knowing that these dietary deficiencies are causing so many problems. All of us need to start advocating about prisons being over populated with people who are malnourished. The book can be found at amazon.com

Why Did God Create Evil?
My teen aged son has recently taken to studying the Bible with other people. Right now he is on vacation in Brazil so because of the cost of calling we do not talk everyday. The people that he is staying with in Brazil go to church everyday. They have bible study everyday as well.
He called me last night and I called him back because the expense is even greater over there. We had our usual reading of verses from the bible that he is studying, which by the way I really love doing with him and is something we have done a lot. After we went through the different passages he asked me why if God create everything did he create evil?
I told him that in my opinion God created evil so that we would have choice because without choice there would be no free will. He said wow! mom that answer knocked my socks off! He said he couldn't wait to give that answer at church. He wanted to hang up after that so, we said our goodbyes and our I love yous and hung up. I was feeling a little empty nested when he called and after his call it was good to know that I can still parent even when my son is a continent away. I love you babe...

Good Neighbors Make Good Fences
I have this neighbor who seems to have a mental problem that stems from sever alcohol and drug abuse. I drank and did drugs long enough to know what addiction looks like.
This neighbor of mine has a mechanical talent for which many people seem to seek him out to do work on their vehicles. I do not have a problem with that at all.
I guess the problem started when he came over and asked if he could rent my garage to do some projects as he does not have a garage and it was raining and cold. My husband felt sorry for him and thought it would be alright to let him use the garage to get his projects done.
The problem is that he drinks and does dope all the time even while in our garage. He breaks things and spews his bodily fluids all over my stuff. One time he came over and asked for a ride to the convience store to get some beer it was late and I did not want to be a contributor to his drinking but, anyway my husband took him in my Jeep. My top of the line Jeep with leather seats and all the bells and whistles. This neighbor vomited all over the passenger side window and all down the side of my car and did not even bother to clean it up like he told my H he was going to do. Imagine my dismay when I went to get in my car to go to work. I cleaned it as good as I could on the inside I did not really have time to do as good a job as needed to be done. Boy I was sickened literly by that. He has also vomited all over my mud room, and garage because he does not eat anything while drinking except maybe some junk food. He is gross and I do not feel I should have to put up with him. I feel sorry for him but, I would rather feel this way for him while he remains on his property.
He keeps coming over asking for a ride while drunk out of his mind and I keep telling him to leave. I hate to call the law on him. I think he needs to be in a hospital getting help for whatever is troubling him. He came over last night and threatened me saying he is going to beat my ass if he sees me out somewhere. Well I ain't too worried about him being able to kick my ass he is smaller than I am. I am not very big either but, he is drunk and I am not and I am sure that gives me a huge advantage not to mention I have a black belt. I would hate to be the one to go to jail cause I kicked his butt. Maybe I should just go ahead and call the law next time he comes over and be done with it...Thanks for reading this.
