[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 670483, member: 19522"] It is a blessing in disguise, to be allergic to corn syrup. My #4 attended a Hawaiian Charter School, not your "typical" education. They taught her about "Ai pono" or healthy eating. In that, there were viewings of documentaries about food production and ingredients, GMO's, etc. Corn syrup and soy are in virtually everything (as you already know). Why? We watched some shows on Netflix, this one may interest you, Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead chronicling a mans quest to overcome his autoimmune disease by only eating fresh fruits and vegetables. Interesting, informative stuff. My friend years ago vowed never to eat packaged, processed food. Smart girl. Lots of info on MSG. The food industry is powerful. In cahoots with the drug industry. The food we eat makes us sick and that supports pharmaceuticals. Folks say FDA should not be combined, I agree. I remember an article about baby-powdered milk makers in third world countries shaming breast feeding. The women bought into the propaganda. Trouble was, they couldn't afford the milk, and watered it down, so the babies were malnourished. Corporate greed is a horrible thing Cedar. Yes Cedar, and now, so much controversy over breast feeding in public? I breast fed all of my babies, couldn't even imagine preparing bottles. I was discreet. No need to just whip out the "tatas" for all to see, and even if, so what? That is what they are for, for Gods sake. What a world, shaming something so natural. I think the rise in allergies is due to powdered baby milk, and corn syrup, and soy, MSG in everything. Okay I will get off my :soapbox:. Yes, rice, even fried rice. There is something to be said for rice catching the oozy, hot drip of the egg yolk. So funny, the things that are ono to folks. I bet when they ate the peanut butter, they had warm memories of their visit. They probably speak of the white bread as a delicacy. Herbal teas are so very good for us. Ancient folk remedies. How did the old ones know so much? I am working on growing herbs, thyme, basil, lemon balm. I have lemon grass, which is used in Asian cooking, but can make a cleansing tea. Yes indeed. Colonization has a way of hiding the whole story. Indigenous people suffer still, through generations, the shame is passed down, and the loss of culture is felt in their very being. White man came and took land, spirituality, replaced it with beads and fire water. I have much feeling for this Cedar. I see how indigenous folks are in sync with their natural surroundings, working with the environment, not against it. The Hawaiians have a saying "The white man came and taught us how to pray, and while we bowed our heads, they took our land, our culture. They taught us how to wear clothes, now look who is running naked on our beaches." Hawaii is getting over developed, it is very sad. They keep building and building. We do not have the resources to take care of all the people coming here. They are developing our farm lands Cedar, what are we to eat? We depend too much on food shipped in. If there was a disaster, and the ships could not come, they say we have a five day food supply, thats it. What are they thinking? Prejudice says more about the person harboring it than anything. How horrible to hate because of ethnicity. It is a vile thing, prejudice. Time to get ready for the day. Howl! Leafy [/QUOTE]
