Ah, butter.  Has there ever been a more perfect food?

To the Traditional Swiss living in the isolated Loetschental valley, butter was a sacred food.  Not a pale supermarket type butter, but a golden alpine butter made from the rich, beige cream of cows grazing on thick grass.

If a group of people were denied rental of a private venue based on race, religion, age, sex, disability or sexual orientation, you can be sure the venue owners would be hauled into court in short order.

Without a doubt, there would also be vocal public outcry and a media backlash against such improper and distasteful behavior.

Apparently, however, discrimination by public officials and denial of use of a Civic Hall based on the medical beliefs of the conference speakers is allowed with nary a whimper from the surrounding community.

I really enjoyed talking with “Mr. Nutrition” David Gaule last week on his show “What About Nutrition” which airs each weekend on 100.7FM in St. Louis, Missouri.

The radio station sent me the audios of the interview, so I was able to create a podcast so that those of you who were busy when the show aired this past weekend can still listen in.

My friend Mary recently mentioned to me that she was drowning in whey.

She had a gallon or two of raw milk that had soured and she wisely decided to allow it to naturally separate on the kitchen counter.   She then strained the clabbered milk into cream cheese and whey.

I love doing radio interviews.  They are fun and get the message of traditional eating out to many new folks who might otherwise never come across the information.

So when the publicist for the Weston A. Price Foundation, Kimberly Hartke, asked me to do the “What About Nutrition” show for 100.7FM in St. Louis, I was of course excited to participate.

If a food is labeled as “raw”, what exactly does that mean?

To a consumer, it means that the food is completely unadulterated and has not in any way changed from it’s original natural form.  Nothing has been added, removed, or heated to a temperature that would change any of the inherent nutritional characteristics.

Unfortunately, to food manufacturers, the definition of “raw” can be quite different.
