HI,
I shared my SCD GAPS Balsamic Dressing with a video and an article about all the different coconut products, as well as an article about the “new” GM Soybean our friends at Monsanto are pushing through…

After a lengthy break from blogging I am back, and a large focus will be on real food. I added my very adaptable meatball recipe. I used oat bran as the “flour”, which is not totally real food, but pretty much any flour can be used!

The #25 recipe for root vegetable pot pie sounded intriguing but when I got to the page she is vegetarian/vegan leaning. There is no lard, butter, meat or eggs involved in this dish. Not that it’s wrong to make a pot pie from vegetables only (because she claims her family has many many allergies), but WHY are they so full of allergies? To me a pot pie is usually a combo of a lard based crust (YUM!) and either beef or chicken mixed with veggies. This sounded good with the beets, even if it was pink, though! I would definitely change it to add a few animal based items for my family.

Thanks for hosting, Sarah. Today I linked up a post on “pesticide chips” AKA corn chips. 65% of the corn grown in the US is legally classified as a pesticide, and over 4000 products in your average grocery store contain corn in some form. It’s tough to avoid, but I’m working on it.

This week I posted a recipe for homemade yogurt parfaits. A lot of families I know are sending their kids back to school and like to pack yogurts from the store. But even organic ones can be filled with refined sugars, so this is my alternative!

Big Ag cranks up the Astroturf! Hidden behind a paywall, but Google cache comes to the rescue. What’s interesting is that grain shill/spokesperson Ashley Reynolds appears to have advocated low-glycemic and ketogenic diets in the past…

Foundation sets strategy to deal with ‘Wheat Belly’
BakingBusiness.com, Sept. 1, 2011
by Josh Sosland

RIDGWAY, COLO. — The Grain Foods Foundation has unveiled plans to counter media publicity attracted by “Wheat Belly.” The group said that so far, little or no media coverage has been attracted.

“Mullen, working with key members of the Grain Foods Foundation’s scientific advisory board, is addressing ‘Wheat Belly’ through proactive media outreach and its ongoing rapid response program,” said Ashley Reynolds, a Mullen account executive. “In particular, the public relations team will be contacting health and nutrition reporters at print and on-line media outlets, as well as editors at major women’s magazines to influence any diet-related stories that may be published in the coming months.”

Ms. Reynolds said Mullen also will leverage the G.F.F. social media channels, including the Facebook and Twitter pages and the blog, Six Servings, to “increase awareness about the dangers of following advice from ‘Wheat Belly.’”

Offering key messages crafted in response to the book’s promotional materials, Ms. Reynolds, a registered dietitian, noted the author relies on anecdotal observations rather than scientific studies; wheat elimination “means missing out on a wealth of essential nutrients;” six servings of grain-based foods are recommended daily in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans; healthy weight loss depends on energy balance rather than elimination of specific foods; and elimination of wheat products makes sense only for those with medical diagnoses such as celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

She said the group will lean on its scientific advisory board members to “discredit the book and ensure our messages are backed by sound science.“

Hi Sarah,
Thanks for hosting. Great article on the milk today. You’re always a wealth of information as I weed my way through the information floating out there and trying to make better choices. Thanks for educating the masses little by little.
