WHOLE FOOD ALCHEMYST HEALTH SOURCE

On my last trip to Newport Beach, my husband and I could not believe all the plastic, single-serve cups strewn along the shore.  I never liked the idea of single-serve cups to begin with due the waste factor, so one can imagine my utter joy to find Oakland Coffee's 100% compostable cups at the 2017 Natural Products Expo West in Anaheim.  The lovely women at the booth gave me a couple of samples, which I tried it at the hotel the following morning...good, strong single-serving of organic coffee.  After I finished my coffee, I placed the used coffee grounds compostable cups in a bag, and fed them to my garden when I returned home, literally, the best of both worlds.  Now, I just might buyh one of those single-serve coffee machines! https://oaklandcoffee.com/oakland-coffee-works/

At the Natural Food Products Expo last week, I sampled Daiya Foods new and improved mozarella and cheddar style cheese shreds...and they indeed are improved.  They have a better cheese-style texture and mouth-feel with the flavors seemingly more intensified.  In the past, I always combined a smidge of real cheese to enhance the flavor, texture, and mouth feel, which is no longer necessary with the new improved versions of the Daiya Shreds.  This is a great addition for plant-based, vegan, and vegetarian eaters to satisfy their cheesy cravings.  Perfect for pizza, vegan lasagnas, and much, much more!

 There isn't any reason why we shouldn't be treating animals humanely.  Mimi Kirk on treating animals with respect...watch and get involved in animal rights and protections. Go vegan for your health! Become an egg or cheese eating vegetarian! If you must remain a carnivore, buy your products from a rancher using sustainable practices: organic, grass fed, no hormones or antibiotics, and humane treatment of the animals. How about trying some meatless meats? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_m97Hmh0UT4                                              ©wholefoodalchemyst2015

This reminds one of the film, Medicine Man, from 1992 starring Sean Connery and Lorraine Bracco.  In the film, they are trying to protect the rain forest from big lumber business in hopes of finding cures for diseases.  In the documentary, The Sacred Science, they are looking at the Shamans of the Amazon and their sacred methods (that can't be found elsewhere) for coping with diseases.  Many messages in these films, specifically we need to protect the rain forest in order to find some new cures or investigate some sacred ones...and individually we need to live a conscious life. Here is the link to the film:  http://www.thesacredscience.com/screening_watchnow/ Personally, I would like to know how these folks are doing with their diseases, basically where are they now? Better or worse, dead or alive?
