Extractions: About Us Why Organic? About This Site We're your gateway to a world of information about organic foods-foods grown free of chemicals and pesticides. Once, you could only find organic foods in health foods stores. Today, organic foods are available at supermarkets and farmer's markets, in restaurants and through mail-order suppliers, even here on the web. But it can be hard to keep up with so many new sources. Organic Kitchen TM is an organic foods product, research and marketing company, and a registered brand in the United States of America. We explore the Internet and provide links to websites we think will interest you. In the future, we may make our products available for purchase. Meanwhile, please enjoy what we hope will be the start of a useful, content rich (and pesticide-free) environment of information about organic foods. Welcome! Fatal outbreaks of e-coli bacteria, contamination of dairy and farms products as a result of the Chernobyl accident, the ban on British beef for fear of Mad Cow Disease, food fertilizers that contain toxic and radioactive waste-we've all heard about recent incidents that make us suspect that something has gone dangerously wrong with our food supply. NBC News has reported that 9000 people die each year in the U.S. due to food related illness. Our exposure to man-made chemicals in the food we eat is suspected of being a major factor in today's increased risk to cancer.

Extractions: Welcome! I started organic gardening in the mid-seventies, when French bio-dynamic intensive methods were the fad. Since then I have experimented with numerous gardening methods. For years I grew most of my own food and medicine in a small garden on an organic farm north of Santa Barbara, CA. On this main page, you will find advice on intensive companion beds, growing potato barrels, zuchinni, and garlic; and gardening as part of increasing one's freedom and independence.

Tests revealed a total of 287 chemicals in the group. The umbilical cord blood of these 10 children, collected by Red Cross after the cord was cut, harbored pesticides, consumer product ingredients, and wastes from burning coal, gasoline, and garbage."

Extractions: Search: Lycos Tripod Aeon Flux Share This Page Report Abuse Edit your Site ... http://aradece.tripod.com Nature's Way is dedicated to living a healthier lifestyle, always in harmony with the world around us. It looks at our many complicated relationships with one another, the healing qualities of human friendship, and the enduring, faithful, healing, unconditional love that is given freely by our animal companions. If we desire to live in harmony with Mother Earth, we must act as her guardians, always placing her needs before the profits we can make from exploting her natural resources. When we look at the earth as a living organism we realize that, like other living organisms, she needs to be nurtured and cared for in a loving manner. We discuss the changes we can make in our daily lives that will effect the world around us, doing things that add to our natural resources, instead of depleting them. You'll learn why organic gardening and farming is the hope for our future and why some old ways of doing things are more efficient and safer for us and the environment.
MOFGA - The MOF&G: Breakfast Recipes Noted writer, Jean English discusses how you can have the most nutritious breakfasts imaginable with organic foods. Hosted by Maine organic Farming and gardening. http://www.mofga.org/mofsepmisc.htm
Extractions: I use four guidelines for most of my food choices. First, I avoid foods that are high in saturated fats (animal fats), high in polyunsaturated fats (corn and other vegetable oils) or high in hydrogenated oils (aka trans-fatty acids: margarine and solid shortenings, for example). Second, I avoid foods with pesticide residues, artificial flavors and colors, and preservatives. While Ive always avoided these chemicals to some degree, Ive become more cognizant of them since my son was diagnosed with Tourettes Syndrome (a neurological disorder that causes involuntary movements and vocalizations). Anecdotes from people with TS or from their parents suggest possible links between these chemicals and the disorder, as well as with such others as attention deficit disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Many pesticides have been linked to various types of cancer and to disruption of the endocrine system. Third, I try to include as many nutrient-dense foods in our meals as possible. One of the best things the United States Department of Agriculture has ever done, I believe, is to instigate its "Five-a-Day" campaign, urging people to eat five servings of fruits and/or vegetables a day. This is not so difficult if you consider that a serving is just half a cup of a fruit or vegetable, and that juices count; its quite enticing when you consider that these five servings may help save you from cancer, heart disease or other dreaded diseases.
