Food and Nutrition

Traditional Foods
My health has dramatically improved after changing my diet for a more traditional way of eating, as advised by Sally Fallon.
Food Flower Poster
Forget the food pyramid! It was developed by the agricultural industry, not by nutritionists. Instead, print this Food Flower poster, which shows a visual guide to choosing nutritious and satisfying traditional foods.
Sourdough bread Recipes
I make delicious sourdough bread in my bread machine - recipes and tips here.
Raw Food

Raw garlic to cure colds & flu
If you feel a cold or flu coming on, eat a whole clove of raw garlic, three times a day - it works miracles.

This blog has moved! A new and updated post about this can be found here. Please update your bookmarks as this blog will be taken down soon.

Forget the food pyramid! It was developed by the agricultural industry, not by nutritionists. Print out the above poster instead, which shows traditional foods and how to eat them so you feel really satisfied and have great health.

Since I started eating this way, so many of my health problems have fallen away: period pain has disappeared, skin wrinkles suddenly smoothed out, warts disappeared, tinea (foot fungus) has ended after fifteen years, and generally when I get a cold or the flu I can fight it off quickly and easily, unlike before.

I made this poster because it's a simple, visual way to show kids how to choose good foods to eat. But I realised it's probably a good guide for adults or anyone just getting started on traditional foods.

The poster above is high resolution, ready for you to print out A4 size, cut it along the "bleed lines", laminate and stick to your fridge. Click on it to open the full size image, and save it to your harddrive. Enjoy!
