FOOD and sustenance
We need food, at least once a day, preferably twice if not 3 times. Our gardens used to sustain us but the sake of convenience we now pay for food which progressively gets worse. Laced with fungicides, pesticides, herbicides, anti growth agents and who knows what else our food has become poisonous. Picked before its ripe, snap frozen for up to a year, then put on the supermarket shelves where in days it rots. It is perfect to look at but is tasteless and dead, with no life it it and little nutritional value. Then its packaged in petrochemical plastics and transported out of season from the other side of the world. Our waste and food miles has skyrocketed. We are no longer feeding ourselves but killing ourselves with pretty, tasteless crap. And in response we have to supplement our while we are getting sick from dietary deficiencies. It's not viable.
Throughout my life I have lived in houses on small, medium and large (farms) blocks of land, I have lived in small and large apartments. I have had little gardens (in pots), medium gardens at the back of the yard and farm gardens. But the best of all gardens I have had is the kitchen garden off the kitchen.
I knocked out the kitchen window one day and replaced it with a glass door. Then outside the new glass kitchen door I paved a central area and put a table and chairs in the middle of it. Then I planted the food garden around that. I had learnt 'out of sight out of mind gardens' up the back of the yard didn't work for me. Now here we sat in the middle of the food garden eating our meals as the weather and seasons permitted. All of a sudden the garden was part of our cooking, our eating, our socializing, our life and wow did it change it. We could see multiple times a day what was growing. It wasn't a big garden but it worked well. And when we ate the food straight from the garden to the plate and 'bellisimo' what flavor, and a few minutes after eating you could feel the rush of the nutrients in your blood stream. That garden changed our life and gave us and continues to give us so much back.
Food loses 50% of its nutritional value within 30 minutes of picking it.
Its the pesticides not the gluten that we are reacting to.
Kitchen - coquina
a room where food is prepared or cooked
What makes a kitchen functional?
What are the most common utensils in the kitchen?
How much cutlery and crockery is required?
Provision not poison
What we are learning is that most of our food supply as well as being devoid of nutrients from mono-culture farming, is that it is also coated and laced with chemicals. Carrots from another country need anti growth agents so they dont turn to mush. Our 'perfect' food is full of damaging toxins applied to them.
It is becoming evident gluten isn't the problem, glyphosphate poisoning (herbicide) is. It's what is destroying the gut lining.
