heart shaped salmon!

drying meat was a practical way to keep it from spoiling. strips of whale, caribou, seal, or fish meat were hung from tall wooden racks, allowing the air and sun to slowly dry the meat.

ecstasy!

'i must see all things in myself, rejecting nothing out of fear or disdain. i must remind myself always to look a little bit beneath the surface of things, for a flower is not just a flower -- it is rain and rainbow, clouds, earth, and the immensity of space. then i must look at myself the same way'

happy fat!

the saturated fats you consume from grass-fed beef, poultry, pork, eggs, fish & seafood will not promote heart disease, cancer, or any chronic health problem. in fact, these foods can ensure your birthright - a long, healthy, and happy life.
-loren cordain

no problem!

all you need to know is that you are always connected to your Source of being, and that you and God are truly one...you must simply accept the great mystery of life and death and stay as closely aligned with this miraculous thing we call creative Source of all being as you possibly can.  you don't have to understand it all; all you need do is remain in a state of love while reprogramming your subconscious mind to develop the habits of a God-realized being rather than an ego-dominated person

kowabunga!

fulfilling [the] intention to live a stress-free and tranquil life is a way of manifesting your grandest destiny...we were intended here...to have happy and joyous experiences of life on Earth. when you're in a state of joy and happiness, you've returned to the pure, creative, blissful, nonjudgmental joy that intention truly is. your natural state - the state from which you were created - is that feeling of well-being.

woWWW!!!

 you have a unique gift to offer this world, and you are unique in the entire history of creation

gelatin bouillon

sally fallon:

when broth is cooled, it congeals due to the presence of gelatin. the use of gelatin as a therapeutic agent goes back to the ancient Chinese...although gelatin is not a complete protein, containing only the amino acids arginine and glycine in large amounts, it acts as a protein sparer, helping the poor stretch a few morsels of meat into a complete meal. during the siege of paris, when vegetables and meat were scarce, a doctor named guerard put his patients on gelatin bouillon with some added fat and they survived in good health.

roasting

when food was cooked, it was usually boiled in containers made of animal skin or tree bark. hot stones were placed in a container to heat the liquid. the subarctic Indians also roasted or smoked meat & fish.

'chickenness'

the ability of a chicken to express its natural inclinations - to behave like a chicken and enjoy its 'chickenness'...what makes eggs healthy and nutrient-dense is hens having access to the outdoors, to sunlight, to bugs, and to grass.

Sam

he said when remembering the first time seeing her
"she was like an angel coming down the stairs"
she was 40some and getting divorced
she replied, "finish high school"
he finished high school
she replied, "finish college"
he finished college
she replied, "find a career"
he found a career

he commuted from a career hours away to see her
she replied, "you're killing yourself!"
they married for 30 years
until she died

40some years after her death and 75/80some years after first seeing her, with tearing eyes and a stopped heart, he said when remembering the first time seeing her
"she was like an angel coming down the stairs"

2.5 million years ago!

we can trace the evidence showing the dominance of lean meat in human diets from our origins 2.5 million years ago until the beginnings of agriculture 10,000 years ago.

permafrost

in the tundra, permafrost - ground that remains frozen for two or more years at a time - limits the growth of plant roots and tends to keep water close to the surface. therefore, trees cannot grow on it. however, above the permafrost, a layer of soil about 1.5 to 16.5 feet (0.5 to 5 meters) thick freezes and thaws enough to permit low-lying bushes, grasses, and wildflowers to grow.  in the summer, the tundra comes alive with such plants as Arctic willow, crowberry, dwarf Arctic birch, and dwarf blueberry.

there's no actual stress or anxiety in the world; it's your thoughts that create these false beliefs. you can't package stress, touch it, or see it. there are only people engaged in stressful thinking.

4 to 6 dogs

dogs were a vital part of life for many Arctic and Subarctic peoples... [they] were valuable members of many Inuit villages. a family usually owned 4 to 6 dogs but sometimes had as many as 10. a person with 10 dogs was considered quite wealthy, as it was hard to keep that many dogs well fed.

yayyyy organ meats!!!

many of our grandparents & great-grandparents also recognized the power of food, feeding their families organ meats and spooning out cod liver oil. somehow this knowledge has slowly faded away, while processed foods have taken center stage.
