November 2018: From the Editor

Hi all,

Happy Halloween!

November is shaping up to have some great events.  I hope you will join us.  The DVD this month is a great one for beginners and guests, and our speakers at the Potluck and Keto group should not be missed.

Topic: “Ask the Butcher”

We are pleased to announce that Daren King, butcher from Long’s Meat Market will be joining us!  Please bring all your questions about meat!

We will learn about types of meats that are available, how they are cut and aged.  What cuts are best cooked in what manner.  We will discuss what the animals are fed, and what different odd bits and organ meats are available.  We will learn what kinds of custom mixes can be special ordered at Long’s, and anything else you want to ask!

Follow Daren on Instagram: @butchkin_616

What to bring?

I told Daren to come hungry because we always have great food!  Anything from Nourishing Traditions, the Healthy 4 Life booklet or Recipes of the Week would be wonderful.  A simple homemade meal made from scratch using natural fats is always a great contribution.

Some examples include: a roasted chicken or other meat, meat and vegetable casserole, a dish made with soaked grains, soup using homemade bone broth, pastured egg quiche or other egg dish, organic salad with homemade dressing, steamed or roasted vegetables with butter or cream sauce, fermented vegetables, fresh or cooked fruit with raw whipped cream.  If you come to the potlucks regularly, please try to bring a dish from a different category every so often.

Bring enough to share with everyone and be sure to include some traditional fats!

Children and guests welcome.  Please bring dishes and serving utensils for your dish.  Thanks!

Topic: Healing Diets

In this meeting we will discuss various healing diets and how they combine with Keto. What do Wise Traditions, GAPS, Paleo, AIP Paleo, and Keto all have in common? What do they focus on and what are the different goals of each method? Brian Gaudette will discuss how he reversed his health challenges using a combination of AIP Paleo and Keto.

Note: I have made a page for information about the Keto Support Group, and a page of Keto Group References, where I will post links to other websites or handouts that were mentioned in each meeting.  I will continue to add more information to these pages.

Description:

Animal fats, properly prepared whole grains, enzyme-enriched foods and nourishing bone broths kept our ancestors healthy. Sally Fallon Morell, author of Nourishing Traditions, explains why these are vital factors for maintaining good health today. Beginning with a presentation of Dr. Weston Price’s unforgettable photographs of healthy traditional peoples, Ms. Fallon Morell explains the underlying factors in a variety of traditional diets, which conferred beauty, strength and complete freedom from disease on so-called primitive populations. Then she presents a step-by-step plan to put nourishing traditional foods that your family will actually eat back into your diet, including easy breakfast cereals, soups, sauces, snack foods, high-enzyme condiments and soft drinks that are actually good for you.

This DVD is highly recommended for anyone new to the teachings of the Weston Price Foundation.  Please invite your health professionals to attend.  It makes an excellent introduction to all the other conference speakers.

  • Butter, the number one health food;
  • The vital role of high-cholesterol foods;
  • Why lowfat and vegan diets don’t work;
  • The amazing powers of raw whole milk from pasture-fed cows;
  • The dangers of modern soy foods and soy infant formula;
  • The conspiracy to promote vegetable oils and hydrogenated fats;
  • Foods that help babies grow up smart and strong;
  • Old-fashioned foods that give limitless energy and vibrant health; and,
  • The unfortunate consequences of modern farming methods.
