    Chicken Chronicles

    Pretty entertaining here. We had a great chicken named stupid, but she was the smartest one we had. She had a crooked beak which is where her name came from. In the spring all the other chickens were scratching away aimlessly when I noticed Stupid and the small white one were by the lilacs...

    Vegetarian diet?

    Even bodybuilding on a vegetarian diet is easy if you know what foods to combine. For example Pink lentils/Sesame/Mushrooms/corn create a protein that is superior to beef. I don't condone a Vegan diet but a lacto/ovo vegetarian diet is very easy.

    Healthiest Butter for Cooking?

    When liquid vegetable oil is fully hydrogenated, however, almost no trans fats remain. The resulting fat is even more solid, taking on a hard, waxy consistency, even at room temperature. Full hydrogenation increases the amount of saturated fat, although much of it is in the form of stearic acid...

    How soft drinks affect your health

    The biggest thing to keep in mind if consuming a lot of sugar is not to eat a lot of carbohydrates at the same time. They both break down into sugars in the body so both is a double whammy diabetes waiting to happen. Stevia helps your body deal with sugar as well as sweeten food.

    Who's Trying to Lose Weight?

    just stay away from carbs, excercise as much as you can handle, and eat more protein. The best way to loose weight is to gain muscle. Take a few days each week and go swimming. Treading water is very low impact and uses almost all your muscles. Be especially wary of carbs because whenever you...

    Perfect protein Broccoli stew

    No not plants in general, but Broccoli/Garbanzo/Pink Lentils combine to make a really good amino acid profile.

    Your brain needs cholesterol to coat the blood vessels. a common cause of stroke in vegans is cause they eliminate all cholesterol in their diet. I apologize for sounding defensive but I have been studying nutrition for a very long time.

    Perfect protein Broccoli stew

    You cook the beans separately, otherwise it's problematic due to the lengthy cook time of garbonzos. Combine cooked beans with all other ingredients in a pot. I prefer soft broccoli. It is a complete protein meal, balanced amino acid profile. Vegetarians still need cholesterol. otherwise...
