What??? People are living longer and longer. Life spans have doubled over the last 100 years. In fact its getting so bad that Social Security is going bankrupt because old geezers are living to be 100+ more and more often. When social security started most people didnt live long enough to collect it – now many any sucking up 30+ years of benefits. Im getting sick and tired of old geezers getting in my way – they move slowly and meander alot. Its hard to figure out where they are going and avoid knocking them over. Dont even get me started about them driving!

Yes, blacks as a general rule are marketed the worst foods imaginable. Yes we are trained to put too many poisons into our diet.. through our food, hair products, and skin products. Yes, stopping these practices as a whole will only help us.

Which is why I cleanse my skin with sugar, and moisterize with organic olive oil.

The way America manufactures food today is disgusting. Fast food is toxic. The air we breathe is contaminated. The ground we walk on carries cancer. … But meat and fish.. is a natural part of our diet that should be eaten in moderation.

Meaning like 1 chicken leg per day!

So if we as a people wanted to clean up our diets.
Step 1, cut fast food and junk food
Step 2, prepare food yourself
Step 3 cut back meat/ fish portions
Step 4 Go organic

There is nothing barbaric about eating meat and fish. Our anatomy is made for eating meat. But we require very little meat in our diet, and we can survive with meat alternatives.

We should eat animals that only eat vegetables.. Problem is much of our mass produced beef and chicken is fed animal by-products which makes it no healthier than swine. Fish from the ocean could have mercury problems, and lakes can be contaminated from improper dumping (especially in the South)…

If you cant verify what you’re eating.. do your body a favor and dont eat it. My family grew all our own fruits and vegetables and we ate venison that ate off the land we lived on. Boy, did my body have a hard time when I had to start eating what the rest of America eats! .

I thought I’d share one of my favorite recipes with your readers to assist them in their transformation away from flesh foods:

VEGAN MEAT SUBSTITUTE — OAT BURGERS

for 16 -20 delicious (freezable) burgers

put 3-4 cups rolled oats in large mixing bowl

grind 2 cups of nuts (I use walnuts & pecans) into a meal texture w/blender — add to oats.

1 good size (large) onion – chopped
1 cup chopped celery, or 1 can (16oz) of green olives, or one can of black olives
2-3 cloves of garlic (optional)
1 anaheim chile pepper – chopped (optional)
Blend the above into a liquid and add to oats.

ADD:
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sage, italian seasoning, oregano seasoning, chile powder seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, AND WHATEVER else you want in your burger.

VERY IMPORTANT: 4 Tbs. ground flax seed – mix with about 1/2 cup of water let sit for 2 or 3 min. STIR well…This is the egg substitute that keeps the burger from crumbling and breaking apart! Add to the oat mix.

1/2 – 3/4 cup of Braggs (liquid amino acids …)

Mix contents thoroughly. It should be about the same consistency of a good tuna fish salad! If the mix is too dry, add more braggs. If too wet, add more oats.

– use a large size mason jar lid and ring to form oat mix into patties. apply a little olive oil the lid to facilitate each burger removal from the ring/lid into fry pan… spoon mix into ring… add to fry pan.

brown in skillet (or electric griddle) with a little olive oil, or spray the skillet with pam spray. Let them cook on LOW heat for [ ] according to size of the burgers and heat temp — turning over half way. Add a little olive oil to cooking surface each time you flip burgers. (I turn my burgers over about 4 times or so to insure that they’re cooked and not charred).

These burgers can also be baked in an oven – 350 degrees, non-stick surface, 10 – 15 minutes on each side.

Makes a tasty hamburger-type sandwich…or whatever.

Good luck, MK.
