Do you know if you’re consuming Genetically Modified foods? 65% say they haven’t, another 15% doesn’t know. That 65% is (most likely everyone of them) wrong. If you aren’t informed, and don’t make conscious choices against them, you most likely are consuming them too. If you’ve eaten any foods (that are not organic, and labeled NO GMO’s) that contain, in any form, corn, soy, sugar beets, cottonseed or canola oil you’ve eaten GMO’s, and mostly likely eat them many times a day.
Part 1 of an interview with Jeffrey Smith(by Kevin Gianni) on Genetically Modified/Engineered Foods and how they got on the market is below. Watch for Part 2 tomorrow.
Organic, whole, living foods are no longer just a fringe choice. They are God’s foods for sustenance of His creation and the only real foods we should be eating. For our health and for future generations.
All the rest of this week we will be sharing more videos on our food sources.

Need a great source for great coconut oil at a great price? You probably know that bulk is the way to buy good, health promoting foods to get them down to prices that are more affordable.
But, do you know why you should be using coconut oil? Raw, Extra Virgin, Organic Coconut Oil is one of the absolute best oils, with great health benefits. In fact, I’m still adding to a book I’m writing on it that I thought I had done almost a year ago. There is just so many wonderful things to share about Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. But for this post, I’ll let you read a bit about it from someone else – with impressive initials after their name. 🙂 Then, at the end of this post, I’ll let you know how you can get GREAT Coconut Oil at a GREAT price!
“A common question that many people have is whether or not food should be eaten uncooked. I personally believe that consuming a majority of your food uncooked is a cornerstone of optimal health.
“Typically, the less processed and heat-treated the food is, the more nutritious and healthier it is going to be.
“Nevertheless, most people prefer to cook their food, at least occasionally. When you do, you’re going to cook with some form of oil.
“The question is, what’s the best, healthiest type of oil to use when cooking?
“Dr. Rudi Moerck has studied oils for a long time, and offers some intriguing insights in this interview.
Cooking with Tropical Oils – Your Healthiest Alternative
“I have, for many years now, recommended coconut oil on the basis and the supposition that it doesn’t contain much unsaturated fat. As a result, it’s not going to be damaged by heat and create trans fats like some other oils. (Another tropical oil that is very similar is palm oil.) …
“Earlier this week I published an entire special report on the health benefits of coconut oil, which include:
- Promoting heart health
- Promoting weight loss, when needed
- Supporting your immune system health
- Supporting a healthy metabolism
- Providing you with an immediate energy source
- Keeping your skin healthy and youthful looking
- Supporting the proper functioning of your thyroid gland
“Part of what makes coconut oil such a healthful oil for cooking is that 50 percent of the fat content in coconut oil is a fat rarely found in nature called lauric acid. This is also one of the features that distinguishes coconut oil from other saturated fats.
“Your body converts lauric acid into monolaurin, which has potent anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-protozoa properties.
“In addition, coconut oil is about 2/3 medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs), also called medium-chain triglycerides or MCTs. These types of fatty acids also produce a host of health benefits.
“Best of all, coconut oil is stable enough to resist heat-induced damage, which you cannot say for other oils. In fact, it’s so stable you can even use if for frying (although I don’t recommend frying your food for a number of health reasons).
“I recommend using coconut oil in lieu of every other oil, whether your recipe calls for butter, olive oil, vegetable oil or margarine.”
The way to get Raw, Extra Virgin, Organic Coconut Oil (with the best health benefits) at the best price is to buy it in 5 gallon buckets. This will last you quite a while, but it will keep well (2-3 years.) If you have a very small family and don’t use much, you can share a bucket with friends and all enjoy the savings. (Although you should be using raw coconut oil regularly for all it’s health benefits. It is a GOOD fat!)
Me & My House has 5 gallon buckets of Extra Virgin (Raw) Organic Coconut Oil at great prices for you, and we can have our supplier ship them directly to you to avoid higher shipping costs. Extra Virgin Organic Centrifuge Extracted Coconut Oil (highest quality, and very mild tasting – excellent in everything) is currently $225 for a 5 gallon bucket or Extra Virgin Organic Cold-Pressed Coconut Oil (still raw, just slightly more coconut-y taste – awesome in raw desserts and other recipes) is $205 for a 5 gallon bucket. Plus Shipping – which we offer at subsidized (reduced) prices. We also offer smaller sizes for those wanting a cheaper up front price (but more expensive per ounce.)
You can order on our Whole and Living foods catalog page.
I know that can be a large chunk all at once for some of you, but this amount lasts our large family over a year and a half, and the 5 gallon bucket saves you about $100 over the 1 gallon price, which is a big savings over the small jar price. So if you can’t swing the full amount, find a couple friends to share a bucket with, and order more often.
I’ve used several different company’s extra virgin/raw organic coconut oils and I am very pleased with this one. It comes from Wilderness Family.

I was glad to see this common sense article on Mercola’s site today. This is one of the most misunderstood – and overtreated – symptoms, especially in children. This is to our harm not gain.
So many parents reach immediately for the bottle of sugared, dyed, flavored symptom suppressor the minute they notice their children have a slight fever. Some even overreact more than that, and rush their children to the Dr. at the first sign of fever. The course may continue to go further downhill from there to unnecessary, harmful antibiotics. Somehow the lie that fever is bad and must be stopped at all costs immediately has been proliferated widely. This is not a good course of action.
Here’s a bit from the Mercola article – read the rest of the article to learn the benefits of fever and know what TO do when you have one.
A great number of people have completely misunderstood fever, and believe that fever can be dangerous in and of itself – especially when the fever occurs in a child.
It’s important to realize that fever is your body’s backup defense mechanism when your primary ones – mainly your immune system — fail. Your first line of defense is your macrophages, which gobble up any invading microbes.
As long as your immune system is strong, you may not even realize you’ve been exposed to a troublesome bug.
If you are still under the impression that having a fever or 100 or 101 degrees Fahrenheit is an indication of a dangerous situation, relax! It’s not!
Many infectious agents do not survive in elevated temperatures so your body increases the temperature in an effort to eradicate the infection. It is a healthy response.
Unfortunately, most parents end up giving their child potentially toxic doses of fever-reducing medications such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen when, in reality, their child’s temperature is ideal for accomplishing healing. Worse yet, there are parents who administer aspirin at the first sign of fever, which actually poses a far greater health risk than any fever could, as aspirin may cause Reye’s Disease, which can be lethal.
The holidays are quickly approaching. Would you like to be armed to not let them wreck havoc on your weight and health? You can still enjoy the holidays, without regretting what you ate overate during them on January 2nd (and every day thereafter.)
Our Good for You-Naturally! for Life Online Course and Community will help arm you for victory during the holidays by walking you, step-by-step, through the transition from SAD foods, the standard American diet of processed foods that is contributing to chronic diseases and weight problems, to Good for You-Naturally! foods that taste great, build your health and get your weight where it should be.
The course is easy to follow, with 1 simple step (and plenty of info to help you understand why you are implementing it) each week for 7 weeks. Our 8th week is a Celebration week. You can join the course at any time, but if you join right now, you’ll be through it and have healthy habits established before the holidays indulgence begins, and be on the road to good health (and weight loss – not gain!) by the beginning of the new year. Many of us are going through a pre-holiday review of the course, just to get us ready for the holidays.
AND the Course doesn’t end after the 8 weeks. You receive a ONE YEAR MEMBERSHIP to the Course site, so you can revisit as often as you’d like, to “brush up” on the 7 Transitional Steps to Good for You-Naturally! lifestyle of eating.
