Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / November 2007Diabetic rip-offs
The more I study so-called health foods the more I realize we are being conned, scammed, ripped off etc. by false packaging lures: Sugar-free frozen green peas? How do they get the sugar out of green peas? Fat-free Jello? When did Jello ever contain fat? Breakfast cereals are a mine-field of weird advertising. How's this for a catchy phrase on an organic product package: "Nurturing, nature, people and spirit". There is also a poem by Ben Johnson about health, the cost of having it or not having it. What is really weird is that it is on the bottom of the package where no one is likely to see it.

According to my peers, health food is a major rip off based on appeals to our imagination. It does change ever few years. When vitamins were discovered they immediately became the solution of all health issues. If a person sticks to the qualified agencies for unbiased info they will probably be better off. The are a few special cases where they are best handled with qualified doctor's advice. We do need a wide range of biochemicals to act as building blocks. The stomach reduces most food to a sloppy mess, which we have survived on for eons. Most of the fads ignore some necessary biochemical. Most claims are based on imagination or speculation. A well balanced diet has been around a long time. Today we have so many mechanical assists we do not need the quantity of food as we needed in the past. The use of less gasoline might do wonders for your health. It might help the climate as a bonus. > A well balanced diet has been around a long time.

According to a friend of mine a "well balanced diet" consists of a pizza in one hand and a beer in the other. :-) (- -) =m=(_)=m= RodS T2 Australia > g...@consolidated.net wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > RodS T2 > Australia I just look at the car. content and go from there.

I eat both the Jell-O and Kellogg's Special K. I guess when it comes to truth in advertising, the manufacturer is damned no matter what they have printed on their labels..

Only sacales with fish or seafood issues. For meat we only eat meat from animals that both have cloven hooves and chew their cud (ruminants). Pigs have cloven hooves, but don't chew their cud. Cows, sheep, goats, even deer are acceptalbe if slaughtered by Jewish law, "properly" drained of blood, soaked and slated adn come from the front part of the animal because the sciatic nerve is forbiden and is very difficult to remove from all those good rear cuts like le of lamb, sirloin steakd, rump roaast, etc. It may seem kind of limiting but has worked for several thousand years:-) If you ae interested, the reason we don't eat the sciatic nerve comes form the story of jacob wrestling with an angel. He won, but was left iwth a limp from damage to the sciatic nerve(I feel his pain). We don't eat this in memory of jacob and his encounter with God. His new name, Yisrael, means God-wrestler. The Jewish people are called the cildren of Israel, so are all regared as Jacob's children. Rather a long winded explanation to a short remark. Wendy "W.

It is not a food derived from the source anymore than you can tell (or care) what type of tree went into charcoal. ,. Also, bones and hides are not meat. The argument that bones or hides may somehow make the product non kosher is based on a theory that the bones and hides MIGHT have some meat on them. even some some authorities don't think that means anything.

You take the ft globules you remove from the chickens( I collect them in the freezer until there is enough to be worth while making this.) and yu take cut off pieces of fatty skin that you remove in cleaning the chicken and , well this is the modern way, you microwave the dickens out of them in a large , preferably glass container unil most of the fat is rendered from th econnective tissue and skin. then yo ad som every finely sliced onions and some salt, if desired, and continue microwaving until all the fat is renderd and th fat and onions have turned quite brown, but not burnt. I cover a large (2 qt) measuring cup) with plaxtic wrap to do this operation. One this nice brown stuff has been achieved, you dexanct the fat into a nice glass jar with a nice tight cover and refrigerate(or freeze ) the rendered fat until you want to use it for frying or flavoring foods like mashed fauxtatoes, mashed in with hard boiled eggs, etc. The browned onins and bits of skin and connective tissue that remain are the gribenis(or grivenis). They are delicious to snack on in a greasy way or to put into foods to flavor them or just on a cracker. PITA but very delicious.
