Today's Thanksgiving Podcast focuses on something we're the most thankful for - nutritious, healthy, unprocessed food! We are so blessed to eat great food provided by our local farmers and are always grateful to share a good meal with family and friends. Chef Rachel Matesz has written two great books to help you prepare meals for your family. These are The Garden of Eating: A Produce-Dominated Diet and Cookbook, and The Ice Dream Cookbook . In this interview, she shares some great tips from her books on healthy meal preparation. The Garden of Eating is so much more than a cookbook - Chef Rachel and Don Matesz have written a comprehensive guide to natural eating based on "ancient, time-tested food ways of pre-agricultural people free of modern degenerative diseases. This plan is vegetable rich but not vegetarian." (Foreward) Some of the recommendations in the book, similar to that of native people, include: 1) Make fresh locally grown vegetables and fruits 65-75% of the weight and volume of your meals. 2) Make clean, grass-fed animal products 20-35% of the weight and volume of your meals/diet. 3) Use "friendly fats" from grass fed animals such as butter, lard, tallow, egg yolks, and friendly plant fats such as coconut oil, nuts, and flax seed. 4) Use only unrefined sea salt. 5) Eliminate refined grain products, pasteurized and homogenized dairy products, mass-market meats, refined sugars, vegetable oils, alcohol, and processed or synthetic foods. The Garden of Eating is reviewed and recommended by Food Renegade Kristen M. She also shared a photo essay of Chef Rachel's chile recipe here. You can follow ChefRachelM on Twitter and read her blog here. This summer I plan to spend more time exploring Rachel's frozen dessert recipes from The Ice Dream Book. For those of you working on your holiday shopping lists, I highly recommend adding either of both of these books for anyone interested in cooking or healthy eating. These books and many others are available at our Amazon Store from our "Go Shopping" page. Jon and Cathy's Big News! After 33 years of teaching in public elementary schools, I'm planning to retire on June 1, 2010. Jon and I are actively hunting for a mini farm in Georgia where we can become more self-sufficient. We plan to have dairy and meat goats, sheep, poultry, and some miniature horses and donkeys (the latter for grass control, labor, and entertainment, not food). We will also grow vegetables for ourselves. It's a very exciting time for us but we won't be able to continue our interviews as regularly until we get our house sold, relocate, and set up shop again. If you do not subscribe to our newsletter, this is a good time to do so. I'll also try to keep you posted on Facebook and Twitter. We can't wait to tell you all about our move from the suburbs to the country.

She and her husband Chuck are proprietors of Cane Creek Farm in Forsyth County, Georgia. You can download the show on iTunes or Zune or listen from the website below. We've been buying produce from Lynn and Chuck since we discovered their CSA through Local Harvest 3 seasons ago. When we first contacted them, we were put on a waiting list. However, one shareholder had toddler triplets. The trip to the farm along with three sets of car seats was just too much for the young family. We were able to buy out their share mid season, when produce was at its peak. It seems inconceivable now that we were uninformed about Community Supported Agriculture for so long, and we learned about it from a surprising source. My friend Tammy Billups told me about her favorite charity, Heifer International. It soon became our favorite charity, too. After donating to Heifer, we were subscribed to their wonderful journal, World Ark. World Ark is a wealth of information about sustainable food and how it can ease hunger world wide. It was one of their articles that informed me about CSAs and the Local Harvest website. World Ark also introduced us to Will Allen of Growing Power, the urban farmer in Milwaukee who raised our red wigglers. Lynn, a former science teacher, not only helps feed 75 families on 3 acres of her 17 acre farm, but is also the curriculum director for Georgia Organics, leads educational field trips of her farm, and teaches classes in organic farming methods. She strongly values the camaraderie of these activities, which involve sharing the work, sharing meals, and building community. I took one of Lynn's food preservation classes a couple summers ago and enjoyed the communal experience of working in the kitchen with several other women on July evening putting up tomato sauce using Barbara Kingolver's recipe from Animal, Vegetable, Miracle. We are proud to feature sustainable farmers on our show because they are our heroes. We support them any way we can. Our favorite means of support, is of course, to enjoy their food on our plate three times a day! Lynn talks with us about how she became a farmer, her various activities, and the benefits of eating organically raised food. We hope you enjoy listening to it. Weston A.

Click below to listen to the Podcast online. Bill Wolcott Interview Bill Wolcott is passionate about his work in the field of customized nutrition. For over 30 years, he has studied this topic and has trained practioners in over 40 countries in his Healthexcel System of Metabolic Typing. In 1987, Bill founded Healthexcel, a technical consulting organization. Bill's highly specialized expertise in the area of nutritional biochemistry has made Healthexcel the leading edge provider of Metabolic Typing,  training, products and services. On this week's Podcast ONL048 (available from iTunes), Bill talks with Jon and me about the Metabolic Typing Diet. His excitement about its benefits for clients is contagious. Metabolic typing is a breakthrough in nutritional science. It is a holistic approach that treats the person, not the condition. As Weston A. Price discovered, there is no one healthy diet. Everyone is different and has unique nutritional needs. This is due to differing rates of cellular metabolism and genetically based requirements. By eating the right food for your type, you can experience ample energy, no food cravings, stable mood, and good mental clarity. Therefore, eating whole, natural foods is not enough if you are reading the wrong kinds of food for you. Even in terms of supplements, different metabolic types respond differently to the same supplement. Consultation with Linda DeFever After the interview, Jon and I hooked up with Linda DeFever for a consultation. She is a certified metabolic typing advisor who was trained by Bill Wolcott and Dodie Anderson. Linda is a listener and a Weston A. Price chapter leader. We took the Metabolic Typing questionnaire to determine our metabolic type. We received a detailed report of our test results and recommendations, along with a color-coded sheet that lists our diet plan and the correct proportion of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats that are appropriate for us. We also received Diet Record Check logs so we can easily monitor how our meals impact our energy, mood, and mental clarity. Linda reviewed the plan with me by telephone, but Jon is still looking for a time to schedule his follow up. Linda is very motivated to assist me in using a modified diet plan to assist me in reducing my chronic inflammation issues. Guidance is important in meeting success with metabolic typing. The end of summer, however, is a very busy and stressful time for me. I need to absorb the information and ease into it when the timing is right for me. I'm very grateful to know that Linda will be there for me when the time is right. While we are still receiving CSA shares and I am trying out recipes from Mastering the Art of French Cooking, it will be hard to plan the best meals. Boy, that sounds like a weak excuse, doesn't it? Linda also referred me to a local Paul Chek Practioner for when I can return to my exercise routine. Paul Chek is the author of How to Eat, Move, and Be Healthy. We're working on an interview date with Paul for this fall. Related Links For more information about metabolic typing, go to the website or read the book.

In this week's Podcast, Jon and Cathy interview Ana Sofia Joanes, producer and director of the recently released documentary FRESH: The Movie. FRESH is a call to action, intending to inspire viewers to positive change and portray a hopeful message about possibilities for sustainable food. Local screenings are followed by a panel discussion with local representatives from the sustainable food movement. Be sure to download the Podcast at the end of this blog to hear about the movie in Ana's own words. She exhibits great passion for the subject and dedication to the cause. You can also download Podcast ONL047 from iTunes. Fresh: The Movie Readers of our blog and listeners to our Podcast know that Jon and I are passionate about knowing where are food comes from, having personal relationships with our farmers, and assuring that the food we eat has been sustainably and healthily raised, preferably from heritage or heirloom stock. Joanes' documentary does a superb job of highlighting farmers throughout the country who are doing things right. Because of high interest, FRESH is getting lots of media attention from sources such as the Huffington Post, and bloggers Cheeseslave and FairFoodFight . Also receiving attention are featured farmers Will Allen of Growing Power and Joel Salatin of Polyface farms. Will Allen performs miracles on 3 acres in the middle of urban Milwaukee while changing the food system to provide everyone equal access to healthy food. Joel Salatin respects the design of nature to leave his Virginia acreage richer each year rather than depleted, as in conventionally farmed land. Michael Pollan's authoritative voice also lends credibility to the film. Many of you have read his landmark book The Omnivore's Dilemma. Pollan asserts in the film that "Cheap food is an illusiion" paid for with tax subsidies, environmental damage, and poor health. The story that impacted me most, however, was about Russ Kremer, the formerly conventional pig farmer from Franenstein, Missouri who exterminated his herd after an accident led to an antibiotic resistant strep infection that almost cost him his life. His revelation that what he learned in college went against nature's plan is similar to the story shared with us recently by Bill Hodge. Russ, however, required a life-threatening condition to make the transition. He is now a respected leader in sustainable pork. I also greatly admire the efforts made by small farmer Diane Endicott and her creation of Good Natured Family Farms, an alliance of 75 farms in the Kansas City area. This coop bands together to find purchasers for their products. Many of their fresh, local food is taken to Ball Grocery Stores. Some enlightening information in the film is that if farmers stopped feeding grains to herbivores that do better on grass, 70% of our farm land would be available for development. Andrew Kimball from the Center for Food Safety reported that current data shows medium sized organic farms to be more productive than larger, conventional ones. When asked what parts of the film could not be included in the final cut, Ana conceded that the "elephant in the room" was GMO food. As huge an issue as GMO is to sustainability, she was unable to do it justice in a 72 minute film. The leading authority on GMO is Jeffrey M. Smith, author of Seeds of Deception and Genetic Roulette. Next month we will be interviewing Jeffrey for a future Podcast , focusing mainly on Genetic Roulette. Ana Sofia Joanes, soon to be a new mother, has dedicated several years and personal resources to making this documentary. She continues to tour and promote the sustainable food movement. We hope that our listeners support her project and take its message to heart. "Every decision you make at the supermarket is creating a different future for land, farmers, diversity of crops, health of bodies, and communities. Vote with your dollars. Change happens one person at a time." - FRESH, the Movie Jon and Cathy Payne no 43:38 http://ournaturallife.com/blog/2009/06/onl046-producing-beef-in-harmony-with-mother-nature-an-interview-with-bill-hodge-of-hodge-ranch-llc/ http://ournaturallife.com/blog/2009/06/onl046-producing-beef-in-harmony-with-mother-nature-an-interview-with-bill-hodge-of-hodge-ranch-llc/#comments Mon, 29 Jun 2009 04:12:57 +0000 Jon http://ournaturallife.com/blog/2009/06/onl046-producing-beef-in-harmony-with-mother-nature-an-interview-with-bill-hodge-of-hodge-ranch-llc/ This week Bill Hodge of Hodge Ranch spoke to us passionately about his personal “revelation” and transition from conventional agriculture to more natural methods of farming. By working with nature instead of against it, he produces a healthier product, improves the land, saves money, and has hardy, long-lived stock.

How do you sort it all out? This Week's Interview with Chris Masterjohn There is a lot of information and misinformation floating around about cholesterol, lipids, and the role of diet and cholesterol in heart health. How do you sort it all out? It's vital to do your research and have a basic understanding of your body and the motives of medical authorities so you can weigh the information against that understanding. When I want accurate information NOT from the medical establishment, I defer to experts such Chris Masterjohn, The Weston A. Price Foundation, Al Sears, and others. In Podcast show #45, Chris spoke to us extensively on the subject of cholesterol, a topic he explores with great knowledge on his website . As the name of his website indicates, cholesterol is essential to health. In the first part of the interview Chris explains its essential role in brain health and the delivery of fat soluble vitamins. Listen to the interview with Chris on the player below when you are ready or find us on iTunes. Chris also explained the lipid hypothesis and the history of medical adoption of cholesterol lowering drugs and dietary guidelines. Chris' encyclopedic mind is amazing, and the interview is well worth a listen. He summarized recommendations for heart health as a series of action steps to take: 1) Avoid excessive consumption of Omega 6 fats, 2) Eat a diet rich in antioxidants from fresh fruits and vegetables and supplementation with vitamin E and CoQ10, 3) Encourage efficient metabolism by monitoring your thyroid hormone, consuming sufficient iodine and selenium, and avoiding flouride, bromide, and chlorine. Be sure to check out all the tabs on Chris' website, sign up for his newsletter , and consider purchasing some of his very reasonably priced and well-researched special reports . You will be glad you did. For additional reading about cholesterol, check out this article at the Weston A. Price Foundation , another Chris Masterjohn interview from Underground Wellness with comments from Ann Marie Michaels, this article by Chris , this blog on the Lyon Diet-Heart Study , nutritional advice from Al Sears , and these tips on video from Joseph Mercola . These should keep you busy for a while and give you some excellent research-based information not funded by the pharmaceutical industry. The classic thesis on the rise of vegetable oil consumption in the United States and the adoption of the lipid theory by the American Medical Association can be found in the extensive and informative Oiling of America article by Mary Enig, PhD and Sally Fallon Morrell. I highly recommend taking the time to get familiar with these. They will open your eyes! Great Source for Fish Oils We really enjoyed Chris' talk on cod liver oil last week and are pleased to let you know that you can purchase high vitamin cod liver oil high vitamin butter oil, and the skate oil he talked about from the Grain and Salt Society .

I really enjoyed it! My only experience with cod liver oil was at a friend's house when I was a little kid. We would stop at her house before school so we could all walk together, and she'd have us all line up for a dose. I never knew that it was actually good for me. I loved Chris's explanation about Vitamin's A and D working together and how the D is stored in the adipose tissue. I am looking forward to the next interview! - Shaileen Hathaway in Connecticutt Cathy's response - Thanks, Shaileen, for keeping in touch via facebook, twitter, and email and for the yummy liver pate recipe!

First, it conserves a valuable resource by avoiding the use of potable water for your landscape or garden. Second, it reduces storm water runoff pollution. Rainwater harvesting has several benefits to the home gardener and to the environment. First, it conserves a valuable resource by avoiding the use of potable water for your landscape or garden. Second, it reduces storm water runoff pollution. Additionally, it helps consumers save money by reducing water bills. It may also be healthier for your plants. In podcast #43, Jon shares some tips he learned while setting up a rain barrel project in our back yard to supply water to our Square Foot Garden . Jon and Cathy discuss several websites related to rainwater harvesting. They also share some tips on how to get information from Our Natural Life from various social networking sites. While researching rainwater for collection for this show, we were surprised to find that collecting rainwater is illegal in Colorado and in Bolivia . This is because when you divert rainwater from collection by municipalities, you are "stealing" their rights to resell it to you as drinking water. When installing a rain barrel, you need to decide if you want an open system with rainwater entering an open, usually screened, lid, or a closed system that is sealed from outside contaminants. The closed system prevents breeding of mosquitoes. Jon bought our barrels from Gutter Water LLC , a company in Georgia that recycles barrels from the food industry. The 55 gallon barrels were only $20 apiece, and by grouping delivery with several friends we shared the $40 shipping cost. He painted the barrels a light tan to match our house and mounted them on cement blocks. He bought a diverter system to help us with our closed system from Rain Reserve . He was very happy with their quality and service. They also have a "Locate a Barrel" link on their site to help you find local sources. With all the rain we've had this week, we've already filled our barrels! Click here to view a slide show Jon made of how he built our system. You can also click here to view a video showing how Fine Gardening editor Danielle Sherry built a rain barrel similar to ours for under $50. Rain barrels can be very simple and functional, like ours, decorative and beautifu l, or quite extensive and costly. When you harvest the rain to water your plants, you become more aware of the need to conserve water at home. If you are planning on building a home, you may want to consider the inclusion of a graywater recycling system. Technical Updates: A Primer We love to stay in touch with our listeners and readers.
