Distorted Thinking (Esp. Re: "Anti-Real Food" Positions) 9 y
Contemplations on the whole lot of "anti-real food" opinions in light “15 Styles of Distorted Thinking”.
Eastern Washington University(EWU) has a very informative webpage devoted to “Effective Stress Management”[1] with the second half focused on important “Lifestyle Changes”. I am truly grateful that these suggestions include a section on “Perception of Threat Interventions” as having clarity about perception is really the master key (as A Course in Miracles testifies)!
What I value as the diamond-of-a-gem among the four items in the section on “Perception” is: “Avoid cognitive distortions that may skew your perception.”! Their hyper-link (at ”cognitive distortions”) connects to 15 Styles ... read more Two Kinds of Animal Products 9 y
Important distinctions in animal products
There are many opinions that have been expressed on the subject of animal products and many of those are spoken in general terms by grouping all animal products together as if they are the same. They are not the same. There two very different kinds of animal products.
The first and longest standing kind of animal products come from animal that are either completely wild or that are raised in natural environments where they feed on a diet that is most compatible with the diet that they could possibly have in the wild.
The second type of animal products come from animals that are raise ... read more Trees of Life & Eris 9 y

"The Food Movement, Rising" - Michael Pollan
Found Michael Pollan on the second page of my search results for: ”food politics”.
Inspired to research this after having posted my comment at Jon Barron’s site: ”Baseline of Health Foundation” regarding his article: ”Why Politics and Nutrition Don’t Mix”[1]
Michael says: ”Where many social movements tend to splinter as time goes on, breaking into various factions representing divergent concerns or tactics, the food movement starts out splintered. Among the many threads of advocacy that can be lumped together under that rubric we can include school lunch reform; the campaign for anim ... read more The Original Foundation of "Epicurean" 9 y
A historical culinary and gastronomical journey.
Is Epicurus (/ˌɛpɪˈkjʊərəs/ or /ˌɛpɪˈkjɔːrəs/; Greek: Ἐπίκουρος, Epíkouros, ”ally, comrade”; 341–270 BC) the ancient Greek philosopher; the founder of the school of philosophy called Epicureanism.
I was inspired to trace ”Epicurean” back to it’s original root and now I am so glad I did! He are some highlights of what I discovered so far:
”For Epicurus, the purpose of philosophy was to attain the happy, tranquil life, characterized by ataraxia[1]—peace and freedom from f ... read more I also like Avocados and Coconut Butter! 9 y
The endless enjoyment of creative variations with food!
Very recently I was inspired with the idea of developing a new spread consisting of freshly prepared avocado, creamed coconut butter, softened raw butter and possibly some olive oil. (It could possibly be considered as a ”compound butter”[1] however I think it’s probably more likened unto a ”spread”.)
I then did some research about my idea and later thought of replacing the avocado with guacamole. That variation motivated me to searching for an original description as to what guacamole first consisted of (besides the avocado ; ~ ).
I found this following statement interesting.

The creme de la creme for a potential new generation of chefs.
One of the characteristics of being Chef Jemichel is that I am an idealist. By finally accepting that as an integral part of my Human Design I’ve become all the more free to express my idealism in ways that are also harmonious with my truth.
This blog is a record of some of a number of ideals that I’ve advocated regarding the possibilities of true nourishment using real, nutrient-dense foods. Recently I’ve discovered something awesomely harmonious for that purpose and I’ve written about this at another Blog I have at CureZone called Cheeta.

The idea that people can enjoy a whole meal in the form of a drink is certainly not new and something that I am very familiar with as this form of nourishment has been an important part of my diet for about forty-five years, ever since I purchased my first (original) VitaMix. I have developed and enjoyed several drinks over the years, my current being a glorified tea that I brew and blend virtually every morning. The ”highly satiating” ingredients in my current drink are: butter or ghee, coconut oil, cod liver oil, avocado and r ... read more "Most Important of All ..." 9 y

Is a calm mind a nourishing factor that's missing in your diet?
It may be easy for me to present this idea of nutritional yoga being that I live it! And I realize that I easily live it on account of my ”Human Design” - at least an astrological aspect of it whereby eating becomes a sacred act.[1] Notwithstanding the import of one’s Human Design good digestion requires some physiological preparation including mastication of the food. Consequently the rush of modern lifestyle needs to be at least temporarily set aside to allow for a slower approach to food enjoyment.

Chef Jemichel's ABCs of "Food as Medicine"

If Hippocrates - known as ”the Father of Western Medicine” - were alive today would he consider what is done in the name of ”Medicine” as medicine? ......... There is certain criteria that can be applied to determine the answer. One of these is the principal of wholeness. Wholeness is possibly the leading principal for healing which was Hippocrates objective. Is healing the objective of modern medicine? .........
