Farmer’s Advice September 24, 2009

Wisdom is rarely complicated

FARMERS ADVICE An Old Farmer’s Advice:   * Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and bull-strong.. *Keep skunks and bankers at a distance. *Life is simpler when you plow around the stump. * A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor. * Words that soak into your ears are whispered…not yelled. * Meanness don’t jes’ happen overnight. * Forgive your enemies. It messes up their heads. * Do not corner something that you know is meaner than you. * It don’t take a very big person to carry a grudge. * You cannot unsay a cruel word. * Every path has a few puddles. * When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty. * The best sermons are lived, not preached. * Most of the stuff people worry about ain’t never gonna happen anyway. * Don’t judge folks by their relatives. * Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer. * Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you’ll enjoy it a second time. * Don’t interfere with somethin’ that ain’t bothering you none.. * Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a Rain dance. * If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin’. * Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got. * The biggest troublemaker you’ll probably ever have to deal with, watches you from the mirror every mornin’. * Always drink upstream from the herd. * Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment. * Lettin’ the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin’ it back in. * If you get to thinkin’ you’re a person of some influence, try orderin’ somebody else’s dog around. * Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.   *Don’t pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight he’ll just kill you.

IS That Food Still Good? September 11, 2009

I get asked regularly about food, especially if it relates to whether it is healthy or still fresh (edible). I typically shrugged and suggest they look for changes, smell, and feel if there are tectural changes.

However, today I received a link to a very cool website for anyone who has ever asked themselves “how long will that be good?” So, perhaps you can predetermine whether you want to purchase an item or stick that sensitive nose or palate into the realm of unknown.

This is a comprehensive site that gives you ranges of time on each product fresh, froze, canned, packaged.

VERY COOL!

Full Body Cleanse: Diet August 26, 2009

New Smyrna Beach Saturday morning Farmers Market

During an intense, full body cleanse, the goal with your diet is simple: it’s to minimize the workload on your digestive organs while supplying your body with enough energy to carry out its everyday activities. Cleansing is performed primarily by your body’s self-regulated cleansing mechanisms, not by the nutrients in the foods that you eat.

Vegetables, fruits, and their juices are excellent food choices for an intense, full body cleanse for the following reasons:

1. For most people, vegetables and fruits are extremely easy to digest.
2. Vegetables and fruits are naturally rich in water; staying hydrated is an essential requirement for an intense, full body cleanse.

For the vast majority of people, grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and all cooked animal foods are harder to digest than vegetables and fruits. So for an intense period of cleansing, it’s best to avoid everything but vegetables, fruits, their juices, and water.
