Alex Pietrowski, Staff WriterWaking Times The issue of food quality and food independence is of critical importance these days, and people are recognizing just how easy and fun it is to grow your own food at home.
When renegade gardener Ron Finley said, “growing your own food is like printing money,” he was remarking on the revolutionary nature of re-establishing control over your health and your pocket book as a means of subverting the exploitative and unhealthy food systems that encourage the over-consumption of processed and fast foods. HUNTER-GATHERING: wild & fresh food: Ceps: know your Boletus… It must be said that while there are many wild foods that are edible, not all of them are worth bothering with.
Some however, are just about the most delicious, scrumptious morsels you will ever get your hands on. The Cep (alias Porcini or Penny bun) is the very pinnacle of fine wild food. MuShroomAgre. Plant strategically to enjoy homegrown fruit year-round. YVONNE SWANSONTampa Bay Times Friday, September 12, 2008 4:30am One of the great joys of gardening in Florida is that you can actually enjoy the fruits of your labor — as in oranges, mangoes, bananas and lemons.
You can even grow heat-tolerant blueberries, apples, peaches and plums that taste similar to fruits grown in northern climates. You don't need a large yard or full sun to sweeten your landscape. Fruiting plants come in all sizes and shapes, including dwarf-sized trees, vines, ground cover and shrubs that are easily espaliered to a fence or wall. That's what Greg Charles has done at his home in the Broadwater neighborhood of St. "I'm not going to pay for a lemon at the store when I can just pick one in my yard," Charles says. It's all totally organic, with soil that's enriched with compost and recycled mulch.
Edible Tropicals: How to: Propagate Sugarcane. Sugarcane is a tall perennial grass that is a very popular source for sugar and biofuel.
It has a commercial growth period of between one to two years before harvest. For landscaping purposes sugarcane acts a lot like bamboo and is also cold sensitive, so those living in cold climates may have trouble cultivating sugarcane. Eating it raw provides a delicious sugary snack, all you have to do is shed the hard outer layer to expose the fiberous juicy core. Make sure not to eat the fibers and instead just drink the juice. New Organica. Professor: Cesium in wild mushrooms not caused by Fukushima accident. When high levels of radioactive cesium were detected in wild mushrooms in Towada, Aomori Prefecture, a restaurant owner pointed her finger at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant.
The government slapped a ban on shipping wild mushrooms for 10 prefectures, including Aomori, Nagano, Shizuoka and Yamanashi. The 70-year-old woman was forced to stop using wild mushrooms in the stew and vinegared dishes served at her restaurant in Towada, 350 kilometers from the crippled nuclear plant. She now buys screened mushrooms from a vegetable stand. She still asks, “How can the mushrooms be contaminated when the city is so far away from the nuclear power plant? " Gakushuin University professor Yasuyuki Muramatsu, an expert on radioecology, has an answer: The high radioactivity levels in the mushrooms were not caused by the Fukushima disaster, but by events much farther away.
In the 1990s, after the Chernobyl disaster, Muramatsu and his research team studied the effects on wild mushrooms in Japan. We Are What We Eat (part one) Healthy nutritious food should not be an elitist privilege; it should be an inalienable right.
Agriculture touches everything. Every thing we eat has a consequence, a consequence to our physical being, a reverse consequence to the soil that food was grown in and everything in between and beyond. Each decision we make in the process of buying and eating food enforces a specific paradigm. This film is an odyssey, my quest for clarity in what I’m finding to be a very hazy time in our adaptation as a species on this planet. Imagine a day when any person can walk into any restaurant, grocery or convenience store, make a random selection and be part of a chain of events based on sustainability, health and a lack of harm.
We are currently very far from that day but I think we would benefit greatly from turning the ship in that general direction. Yogurt Starter Culture #2 - Infographic: A Scientific Map Of Optimal Food Pairings. Happy Thanksgiving!

The High Protein Dog Food and Kidney Disease Myth. The scientific evidence that high protein diets cause kidney problems in dogs has been widely disproved by countless studies, yet this critical nutrient has continued to be demonized by well intentioned veterinarians and the general public.
The general myth is that dogs should be on a low protein food to prevent kidney problems, especially in the case of seniors. Dogs need protein to thrive, it has even been established that protein requirements for senior dogs increase as they age. Even responsible dog food manufacturers confirm: “While it was once thought that too much protein could cause problems, any concept of reducing protein in today’s pet foods is clearly tied to reducing ingredient costs, rather than to any concern for the health of dogs and cats.”
While it is established that limiting phosphorus and sodium intake is necessary for the management of kidney failure, protein restriction does not significantly effect the progression of the disease.

Most nutrition books and internet sources list the following as excellent sources of vitamin A: CarrotsSweet potatoesDark leafy greensCantaloupeBell peppers Although taken for granted as ideal vitamin A foods, these plants provide only the precursor to vitamin A, carotenoids.
Interestingly, we need to be consuming true vitamin A foods, foods containing retinol, to meet our vitamin A requirements. Astaxanthin. Astaxanthin /æstəˈzænθɨn/ is a carotenoid. It belongs to a larger class of phytochemicals known as terpenes, which are built from five carbon precursors; isopentenyl diphosphate (or IPP) and dimethylallyl diphosphate (or DMAPP). Astaxanthin is classified as a xanthophyll (originally derived from a word meaning "yellow leaves" since yellow plant leaf pigments were the first recognized of the xanthophyll family of carotenoids), but currently employed to describe carotenoid compounds that have oxygen-containing moities, hydroxyl (-OH) or ketone (C=O), such as zeaxanthin and canthaxanthin.
Indeed, astaxanthin is a metabolite of zeaxanthin and/or canthaxanthin, containing both hydroxyl and ketone functional groups. Like many carotenoids, astaxanthin is a colorful, lipid-soluble pigment. This colour is due to the extended chain of conjugated (alternating double and single) double bonds at the centre of the compound. Natural sources[edit] What is Astaxanthin?
