I am also thrilled that I can read the book myself online (thanks to your lovely readers sharing). How much has been lost that needs to be found again. Goodness! Had to share a few quotes and your post on my blog today. I grew up on margarine... ewww, gross! Love the book find and quotes.

We need to continue to educate, educate, educate. Thankfully my mom and grandmothers cooked from scratch, so I had their experience to draw from when I was growing up, but so many of my friends had no real cooking mentors. I have to admit that it's pretty cool to be able to help people out through the internet - kind of makes me feel like I have an extended family. I can only hope that Joel Salatin is right!

My Grandmother(who is in her 80's) was raised on real food! She grew up in Panama on a farm. They ate fresh meat from the butcher, and her mother always made sure to make liver at least once a week. They ate a verity of tropical fruits and lots of veggies and rice. They drank fresh milk, but they boiled it. A very simple diet, but all whole foods! I love this!

I'm "thumbing" through an online copy of this book, and I love this, on p. 225: "The individual who is physically sound and mentally sane is so chiefly because, in the rush and stress of modern life, he has not resorted to any artificial means, such as alcohol, to whip him on to success, or narcotic drugs to deaden the feelings of fatigue and allay nervous excitement. He has learned the joy of possessing a body strong in limb, rich in clean blood, steady in nerve, clear in brain, and needing no stimulant other than clean air, pure food, and invigorating sunshine." So interesting!!

The fermenting of food and drinks is done outside of the body and utilize people introducing particular strains of beneficial bacteria into the food or drink in a controlled environment. The quote above about sugar fermenting/decaying within the bowels and causing disease is coming into a person and feeding the non-beneficial gut bacteria, which then leads to disease. Which bacteria are being encouraged to proliferate and how...that is the difference as I'm seeing it. Hope that helps! :) My guess, Tina, is that it depends on where the fermenting occurs.

I scan antique stores on a pretty regular basis. The best old cookbook I have, though, it not an old book. It is a collection of ideas and recepes that someone put together after they interviews 1000s of people that lived through the great depression in Oklahoma, Lousiana and Arknasas. I don't have the book with me, or I'd tell you the title. I is SO interesting to read how people managed to survive the great drought during the economic depression. I collect very old cookbooks.

In it there is ad space sold to various businesses. But one entire page of ad space explains how dangerous baking powder with alum is and how it will not only ruin your health, it will make your baked goods less tasty. How far we have come!
