Social Cannibalism: SimplyRecipes.com vs. SimplyRawRecipes.com

By Jeanne Weierheiser
Published 1/10/2010

The indoctrination of corporate thinking begins at a very young age. We begin this process by allowing our children to believe that things are more important than people. If you have more than one child, how often have you bought two of something in the name of fairness? When young children fight over a toy, the resolution is usually determined by who owns it, or they’re forced to share, a solution that guarantees resentment. Right out of the gate we unwittingly teach our children that things are more... >>read more<<

 
Natural Cures

First Experience with Natural Cures

By Allene Edwards
Published 1/8/2010

I was a senior in high school the first time I attempted a natural cure. One day my glands swelled up and my throat hurt so badly I could barely swallow. I looked like I had the mumps. I'd read about the curative properties of vitamin C. At lunch, I drove to the drug store and bought a big bottle of chewable vitamin C. I chewed a handful of tablets and continued to eat one or two every fifteen minutes. By the end of the day all of my symptoms had vanished. >>read more<<

Big Business

By Allene Edwards
Published 1/7/2010

In my years of naiveté, the words “big business” meant industry, lots of jobs, lots of money, philanthropy. Corporate America was dependable, responsible. Men and women chose a career, worked until retirement, and then lived off their pensions. Corporations were benevolent structures, the backbone of the American economy. >>read more<<

Health: A Wise Investment

By Michael Edwards
Published 1/6/2010

People have asked me how hard it is to cure cancer or diabetes. These are actually two of the easiest "incurable" diseases to rid your body of. The hard part is to change one's way of thinking. The hardest thing to get rid of is the brainwashing that conventional wisdom has instilled into the modern American. >>read more<<

My Diet, My Budget

By Michael Edwards
Published 1/5/2010

In the morning we have a smoothie with strawberries, banana, fresh apple juice, kale and a raw egg. I also put in total nutrition powder, but that's a supplement, and UDO's oil with DHA. The smoothie is delicious and will give you all of the nutrition you need for your whole day. Never ever eat raw eggs unless they are organic. I don't mean free range, or cage free, they must be organic, or they are dangerous. Raw organic eggs are extremely good for you, they're a super food, and a great way to get very easily digestible protein. Once you cook them they lose all their value. >>read more<<

My Experience with Vaccinations

By Allene Edwards
Published 1/4/2010

I grew up believing vaccinations were safe - well, almost safe. Once my neck and jaw swelled up and we were pretty sure I had the mumps, except for the weird sore on my mouth. Turns out, I had scratched my smallpox vaccination then re-inoculated myself by scratching my lip. This time the infection had entered my lymph glands rather than my bloodstream. I recovered within a few days. >>read more<<

Consumption Awareness at the Grocery Store

By Jeanne Weierheiser
Published 7/8/2009

As a mom of three young children, I think mothers lead the pack when it comes to excessive consumption. Just look at what we buy! Moms, I promise you, your children will not shrivel up and dehydrate if they don't have a drink every 15 minutes-- enough with the juiceboxes! In fact, drop the juice addiction altogether. Water's what they really need. And the prepackaged snacks?  Even the organic kind? Not healthy!  You know what's healthy and sustainable? An apple. From a tree. >>read more<<

I'm not one of those people who can have a cup of coffee and then lay down for a nap. In fact I can't drink coffee passed 2 pm or I'm up all night. This is a problem, since I already said once I start drinking coffee, I can't stop. Coffee is my crack! >>read more<<

If my 8 year old were to dump his morning bowl of cereal on the kitchen floor, he knows, without a doubt, that he'd have to clean it up. That's a logical consequence for his behavior. Why can't we use this same logic when dealing with businesses that pollute? Isn't cleaning up after themselves a natural, logical, and reasonable consequence? >>read more<<
