Healthy Life Suggestions

Perhaps one the most essential care givers in the world is the farmer.  No, those in charge may not take that into consideration in considering health as an issue.

                                                                                    Retro   
My farmer father with my brothers worked incredible hours to "put food on the table". Mom raised an immense garden to can and freeze. We ate well and were richly provided with food.  

So looking at the LARD and its happy people made me giggle. When a hog was taken to slaughter and butcher, we had tidily wrapped frozen good stuff in the freezer, and, as an added present, we had a new fresh 5 gallon tin of white lard.

The female ancestors of my family knew how to bake pies, oh boy, using lard for the crust. BEST CRUST ever. Fried chicken could not be more crispy and delicious except when fried in LARD. 

Below you will see how necessary to have lard, sugar, salt, and whatever for our health.

How confusing can our caloric intake get??

"Having trouble figuring out what to eat? Don't know if you should be "eating clean," dairy free, gluten free, GMO free, carb free, high protein, organic, low fat, high fat or paleo? (No wonder people are always confused about what to eat or how to lose weight!) Let's get back to the basics." caloric intake

Research into nutrition and its demands show that we should cut out or cut down sugar intake. We should also eat only vegetable oils/fats, fresh foods, reduced salt.  Meat? It seems that this item is up for debate.

Lard is available for purchase in many stores in the meat department. Also, suet is available in specialty stores.  Here is my site on how to obtain them.
