Eating her Curds and Whey

Little Miss Muffet
sat on a tuffet
eating her curds and whey.

Along came a spider

Food is a Mirror

I’m currently reading Steve Gagné’s Food Energetics and would like to share this quote with you:

Food is a mirror: Look into the mirror of what you eat, and you will learn to see yourself. This works the other way as well. Look into the mirror of yourself, and you will find a reflection of what [...]

Prescription Versus Natural Antibiotics

In Staying Healthy with Nutrition by Elson M. Haas, MD and Buck Levin, PhD, RD, (c) 2006, Haas describes on page 250 what is going on with prescription antibiotics:

The Holistic Perspective

From a holistic perspective, disease is generally considered the integrated result of all cosmic, environmental, chemical, electrical, mental, physical, emotional, attitudinal and spiritual stress. Thus, there is no single “cause”….

Or even to keep it myself and live out “an apple a day keeps the doctor away.”

But actually, I find apples rather difficult to digest, so I won’t do [...]

Mares Eat Oats

Mares eat oats
and kids eat oats
and little lambs eat ivy.
Kids’ll eat ivy, too.
Wouldn’t you?

Say it fast and you’ll wonder what you’re saying!

Peter Piper’s Peck of Pickled Peppers

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers;
A peck of pickled peppers, Peter Piper picked.
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
Where’s the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?
