Clean Eating

Pig *kitten* as compost is a bad idea. It is generally good practice to avoid it.
proof that sometimes local farmers don't know their *kitten*.

I seem to be alive.. and pretty darn healthy, so is all my family. And since we raised pigs and ate them every single year from when I was an infant to the year my father passed away. I'd say phooey on your nifty flow chart. Alll of my family and friends ate that stuff too. Since we'd also be raising pigs for them (often having 4 or 5 of them at once). Oh yes and veggies every year to this day.. well mom still does that.. I now live in an apartment 1500 miles away from her garden, so I use a co-op now, unitl i get my back yard anyway.

I forgot.. because the goverment says something is true it must be true.. Government never lies..my bad..

Are you trolling and pretending to be an ignorant pig farmer?

You are arguing that pig-manure on vegetables is the best practice of local farming, in a clean food thread where people are looking at local farmers to provide quality, low-disease risk food - your argument is that "goverment lies".

Doesn't get better than this. lol.

"You're always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece. Apparently the best thing to do is cut up a corpse into six pieces and pile it all together. And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it's no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies' digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don't want to go sievin' through pig ****, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, 'as greedy as a pig!'."

^^^ LMAO

I think that was a CSI episode.. LOL

Actually.. we used horse manure more than anything else. We had them year round and put the manure on the garden all year long. yea doing that while it's snowing was always fun. LOL

My argument is natural is better. ;~) and you shouldn't let government scare tatics dictate what you eat.

you can call me names if you want. The proof is in my healthy self and my entire family and friends who grew up eating that way. (learned it from my grandparents and thier family who are all into thier 90s now. yep.. so bad for us.)

Also, fruits can carry harmful insects that if ingested will kill us, esp those from other countries.... or at least make us very sick.. uh oh.. better stop eating fruit too. LOL

Not CSI - here is another hint - "Do you know what "nemesis" means? A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent"

Specious argument is specious. Your government or mine?

I'm sorry all I'm saying is that I'm not terrifically comfortable with feces in / around my diet. I'll take inorganic fertilizers and pesticides any day! No offense to clean eaters.

edited to add: The movie was called Snatch, it was about a heist if I recall, and not about lady's parts or weightlifting.

Manure, bone meal, blood meal, and inorganic fertilizers are pretty much the only options. Life is dirty.

So who wants a snack?

Meat and potatoes are still clean. I love how Jillian Michaels put it... if it grew out of the ground or had a mother, go ahead and eat it. Like, stuff your great, great, great, great grandmother would have eaten before microwaves and Walmart.

I'm not a clean eater, but I can appreciate leaning towards cleaner foods where possible. Less processing... so cutting crackers, chips, bread, convenience stuff...

i would limit regular potatoes if you are trying to lose weight. Some would say that sweet potatoes are to white potatoes what brown rice is to white rice because regular potatoes have a higher glycemic index so you don't feel as full as long as you would with a sweet potato or yam

Always amazes me the direction a topic can take.


OP...You don't have to make the change all at once. Just start to incorporate more whole fresh food into your menus and have less of packaged, processed stuff.

For example: instead of buying hamburger helper....buy some fresh ground meat, some veggies like oninon, peppers, and tomatoes, chop them up, brown the meat, simmer it all together while you cook some whole grain pasta . Put it all together. It probably takes 10 or 20 minutes more but the flavor and nutrients are awesome.

As for manure on gardens....Yes. It's the best fertilizer and has been used for thousands of years in all cultures of the world. I grew up eating veggies grown in a garden fertilized with chicken and horse poo. My Dad and Mom never needed a pesticide. Their crops were strong and healthy. If a few bugs showed up, they got picked off by hand. They canned and froze the crops we didn't eat right away and had that wonderful food all winter long. When my husband was alive we always had a garden too, no pesticides in there either. I wish I could still do it. If there are any strong younger people who want to get this garden going again you are welcome to come here.

We will all continue to justify our own positions, whatever they may be, because we are motivated that way (like this http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/ulterior-motives/201107/you-end-believing-what-you-want-believe). It is a big challenge for us to majorly shift our beliefs, especially when it means giving up things we love (or think we love). Shifting to a plant based diet was difficult for me at first, psychologically, emotionally and physically, but after only a short time it is not. I'm not going to evangelise, no-one likes that, but I am happy with my 5.5kg (12lb) weight loss in ten days, my loss of cravings for sugar and processed foods, my mental alertness, my improved mood, and my new attitude towards food.

(PS, just to clarily an earlier post, it was not directed at the OP but rather the poster before me. Sorry for the offence I caused).

I make my own bread so does that count as a clean food?
