I think most of the chronic health problems of modern day can be traced to this.<BR/><BR/>Organic farms aren't too much better, relying on shipped in fertilizing materials that grow the food, but most of the soil practices aren't really that much different than conventional farming practices. They are just trading one type of material for another.<BR/><BR/> We raise our own food, and buy quality minerals for our cattle, so the compost we make to replenish the soil with is enlivened with the bacteria from the cows gut. Animals properly raised help to heal the earth and our bodies if they are fed properly and the manure is stabilized so the soil can readily make use of it.<BR/><BR/>Nice blog!Throwback at Trapper Creekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12418370592659531735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2368819148999076470.post-66217012981469478742009-01-09T21:49:00.000-06:002009-01-09T21:49:00.000-06:00I think this is behind at least part of America's ...I think this is behind at least part of America's obesity epidemic. Our bodies aren't getting the right mix of vitamins and minerals from our food, so they tell us we're still hungry. We've noticed a huge drop in the quantity of food we eat since we switched to whole grains and home grown veggies.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09771907353702591182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2368819148999076470.post-37635469743610793032009-01-09T21:14:00.000-06:002009-01-09T21:14:00.000-06:00Thank you for this post!

I've been wondering about this issue for some time now, but hadn't done any research on it.<BR/><BR/>I just recently discovered kombucha at our local food co-op. It's a fermented drink that can be made in a variety of flavors, apparently. I'm hoping to learn how to make it at home, but I need some equipment first.<BR/><BR/>As far as adding to your list, for those who eat meat, try to find local producers who care for their animals properly, rather than the feedlot method (which strikes me as the equivalent of plant agribusiness relying on chemical fertilizers, etc.). Buffalo is said to be more nutritious than beef.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
