Comment on Why I am Resisting the State of Minnesota’s Campaign Against Raw Dairy by Stanley Fishman

Bravo, Melinda! Thank you so much for this noble work!

We have a basic human right to choose our food, and that includes the right to have farmers who can raise the food we want without being harassed by government agencies trying to protect the profits of industrial agriculture.
The Minnesota situation is a perfect example of how a tyrannical regulatory agency is trying to take this basic human right away.

I am part of a private buying club. We are all connected on the Internet both for buying and for communicating with each other. We get our food once a week. If there ever were a problem with our dairy, meat, eggs, or other products, we would all know about it before the sun sets! We are an important part of the farmer’s business, and he knows that we communicate with each other. If he didn’t provide us with safe, quality food, his business would be in trouble immediately.

There is no better accountability than a private buying club to ensure food safety and quality. No amount of government sampling can match what we do. Let us eat what we want and protect ourselves better than you could ever do. We are the policeman’s best friend. We are the Neighborhood Watch.

Comment on Home Remedies for Minor Burns by Alice

Alice — Wed, 16 May 2012 19:46:04 +0000

I found that if you can stand the pain, do not run it under cold water it will blister. I found that putting cinnamon on the burn keeps it from scarring and blistering. As a test (not intentional mind you) I had a hot water burn on the palm of my hand and I put on one half cinnamon and the rest I left alone. Within a few hours I could tell where I had the cinnamon line. There was no burn on the cinnamon side and on the other side was red and painful for a week. I got this tip from a Civil War reenactor.

Comment on Gluten Free Pie Crust Recipe by Joette Calabrese

Joette Calabrese — Tue, 15 May 2012 20:20:18 +0000

I’ve used butter and it works perfectly. I also use coconut oil for a crumbly pie crust that I often make with nuts, coconut and coconut oil ground up in the food processor. It’s delicious. However, I’ve not used coconut oil specifically with this recipe. If it works, I’d love to hear!
