Is cooking with grape seed oil a good idea? by SB http://www.eatnakednow.com/eatnaked/2011/04/12/smokin-hot-or-unsafe-is-cooking-with-grape-seed-oil-a-good-idea/comment-page-1/#comment-703 SB Wed, 01 Feb 2012 17:35:44 +0000 http://www.eatnakednow.com/?p=1139#comment-703 I've recently taken to stir frying. I'm vegetarian (two years now), and always interested in optimal health. I try to eliminate as many toxins in my life as possible (cooking, cleaning, and hygiene), and concentrate on high anti-oxidant foods. What High-Heat oil (> 420 degrees?) would you recommend, when weighing all the risks vs. rewards? It seems my research has me leaning toward avocado, but I've also seem "claims" of macadamia having 400+ degree smoke point. Also, if you could rank your top 3 or 5 healthy high-heat oils (for ease of shopping), that would really help. I really appreciate the article, and the work you do. Thanks, so much.

I've just begun my 3rd trimester and I am drinking at least a quart a day. It is SO satisfying. Perfect food, indeed. I concur regarding raw milk in pregnancy!

Every Two weeks, I buy Gertrude a $16 bag of oats to supplement her grass diet and her caretaker brings me a gallon of milk every Sunday (they also sell grass fed beef, chicken, pork eggs and veggies at the Farmer's Market but selling raw milk is illegal). My kids love it. My youngest will not drink the pasteurized stuff, but he LOVES Gertrude's milk. It is the sweetest, creamiest milk I've ever had. My teenagers would drink the whole gallon in one sitting if I let them. I'm even drinking it and I have never liked milk. Now I understand why! (I sometimes sneak the cream off the top for my oatmeal - shhhh.) It helps to start making friends with the farmers at the farmers markets. They might be able to introduce you to some cows interested in trading : ) I live in Tucson, Az and I recently made a deal with a friend’s cow, Gertrude (her name has been changed to protect her identity).

Wed, 25 Jan 2012 16:04:53 +0000 http://www.eatnakednow.com/?p=1804#comment-693 I was born and raised in Montana, we moved to the city when I was in 2nd grade, yet before that we lived in a rural area of Montana. My mom and dad raised us setting up a great foundation for nutrition. We had our own cow (where we got milk and butter) we had chickens and sheep as well. I remember going with my mom to a local farmer and picking up a year supply of beef and pork. My mom had certain nutritional needs and my dad was raised on a farm. Its a laugh between my siblings and I now because of the things my parents did to limit sugar, eat fresh and organic (before it was cool) and make everything from scratch. I remember molasses bread, spinach casserole and homemade pancakes...during school, even after we moved into the city: if we didn't eat breakfast, we wouldn't go to school...and my dad made some not so great things for breakfast. They knew the importance of good nutrition. We might have hated it when we were little, but I am so thankful to be raised that way. I have yet to find a place here in AZ that has raw milk, but that was something that I loved drinking as well when we were little! My husband and I have converted to drinking almond milk because we both can't stand the taste of conventional store bought milk. thnks for posting Margaret!

Naked, authentic, and real. That sums up this blog and the way you've lived this past year. Congratulations on making it through it all - the ups and the downs - with such seeming ease and grace. You are truly an example of how hard work, clear intention, courage, smarts, and a passion for life will take you far. Thanks for leading the way. I am ever so grateful for you and your work in the world. Here's to an even more exciting 2012! (If that's even possible...) Well, my friend, you did it. Naked, authentic, and real.

]]> Comment on Confessions of a recovering vegetarian: How I made peace with eating meat by Michelle http://www.eatnakednow.com/eatnaked/2011/11/08/confessions-of-a-recovering-vegetarian-how-i-made-peace-with-eating-meat/comment-page-1/#comment-690 Michelle Fri, 20 Jan 2012 16:44:14 +0000 http://www.eatnakednow.com/?p=1573#comment-690 Thank you very much for sharing your story. I am also a recovering vegan, and have struggled with eating animal foods for about 8 years. That quote "What a horrible choice: feel good in your body but guilty about the impacts of your choices; or feel good ethically and miserable physically." hits the nail on the headfor me and I feel great sorrow when I admit to myself that I have to eat meat (the doctor told me to after my health started diminishing. Although I chose to ignore it it got quite bad and so I went to him and did what he said). Its hard, for some reason. Its not like meat can't be tasty. But I couldn't care less about the taste. I feel like less of a human being when I eat meat, as though I am doing a shameful act. Keep loving life :) Thank you very much for sharing your story.
