Raw

Real Food!

Zelda and I stopped by Burgandy Beef Saturday on our way down to Granbury to pick up more free range eggs.

I'm never going back! (to factory eggs).

Z made sunny side up and they were silky and rich and creamy.

She used them in a cheese cake that was also silky smooth.

The thought of going back to the store bought is unappealing.
Watery, pale, standard eggs with no life...

Caused me to wonder how the factory chickens must feel physically.
Their produce being a reflection of their state of health and well being, they must feel like crap...
****
I have also been interested in trying raw milk. No additives, etc.

Burgandy beef doesn't offer milk as it doesn't have dairy cows.
But the sales lady put us in touch with a lady who does.
One gallon of un processed milk.
"Remember to shake it because the cream rises to the top."

Just like the eggs, it is rich and creamy. It has life in it...
The nutrients and bacteria haven't been stripped out.

Everyone I have mentioned this too have responded with something along the lines of "oh! you have to be careful of raw milk, you can get sick".

True.

But you can also get sick on
industrialized peanut butter,
or factory packaged spinach.

A few years ago, non pasturized apple juice made some folks sick.
A law was pasted requiring it to be pasturized if sold via stores.

Those were small, organic companies selling to the 'health nuts'.

Since the peanut butter and spinach were from large corporate growers, I wonder if there will be any laws passed about irradiation of all veggies?

Anyway.

If you can locate a local farmer with produce to sell,
Z and I highly recommend you try them at least once,
if only to see what you're missing...
