Acid-Alkaline Balance
The chemical factory that is the body requires a precise equilibrium of 16 basic chemicals, and correct acid-alkaline balance plays a vital role this process. Foods, after digestion and absorption, leave either an acid or alkaline ash in the body depending on their composition. Normal body chemistry should be approximately 20 per cent acid and 80 per cent alkaline, thus the food intake should reflect this balance.
Charcoal For Your Health
In terms of health, charcoal from plants has been used for thousands of years to treat a variety of human ailments, and conditions. The activated kind has been created by burning vegetable matter of various kinds under high heat conditions such that the porosity of the charcoal is increased substantially, giving it more surface to interact with.
But, all charcoal, even the kind created when you burn vegetables in a pan, or bread in a toaster can have beneficial effects. But Charcoal made from vegetable matter is not to be confused with charcoal produced from burning meat. Burned meat is another thing entirely, and evidence has seemed to tie it to various cancer in those who consume large quantities of it such as those chronic outdoor barbecuing enthusiasts.
The “good” vegetable charcoal has long been used as an antidote for poisoning when it quickly acts to absorb the offending poisons and pass them from the body. Charcoal also removes other toxins from your digestive tract where it helps to absorb and remove toxins. It also can calm an upset stomach and nausea, alleviate diarrhea and flatulence, and, maintain a generally healthy digestive tract.
Charcoal, especially the activated type, is highly absorbent above all else. It absorbs many times its own weight enabling it to bind to toxins and prevent them from spreading throughout the body. It also works like a sponge to absorb, and then expel, organic toxins from your digestive system which helps you feel better, mostly by giving you immediate digestive relief.
Charcoal is an ancient “folk” remedy used by many doctors today to “pull” toxic organisms from the body, and may also be used to help detoxify heavy metals from your digestive tract.
It is a relatively safe treatment that has been used for thousands of years to absorb poisons and calm stomachs, but because this product may interfere with absorption of food generally, or medications, it is best to take it two hours before or after eating, or after taking medications. It can be taken up to three times daily, but should be taken for no more than three consecutive days, or use as directed by your healthcare professional.
Charcoal’s earliest recorded use dates back to 1550 B.C. when the Egyptians used it for its healing effects.
Evidence also shows that Native Americans mixed charcoal with water to relieve upset stomach and other digestive problems even before the discovery of America. And in 1831, a professor boldly demonstrated the powerful absorbent effects of activated charcoal by ingesting a lethal dose of strychnine AND living to tell about it!
In an additional interesting anecdote, it is well known that animals love the burned vegetation that is left after a forest fire. Monkeys and all sorts of animals can be seen devouring large amounts of the remaining charcoal, presumably because they feel their system needs it.
On top of all else, the charcoal of vegetation retains large supplies of certain minerals that are not consumed by the fire and, of course, our body always needs minerals.
While activated charcoal in the powder form is often used to treat many poisonings, it has been recently “re-discovered” in capsule form as a remedy for upset stomach, flatulence, and diarrhea and is available in most health food stores.
Activated Charcoal is made by burning wood or vegetation at high temperatures in the absence of oxygen, thus producing a very large surface area compared to its weight, such that it can quickly absorb substantial amounts of gases, liquids, and other unwanted materials in your digestive tract to help you feel better quicker.
Charcoal works by quickly binding to toxic substances in your digestive system and preventing their spread throughout the rest of your body. These bound toxins can then be safely expelled. Basically, your gastrointestinal system loves charcoal.
An additional benefit is that Charcoal is a safe natural internal cleanser and deodorizer beneficial for assisting and maintaining intestinal hygiene and hence fresh breath. Charcoal has long been used as a natural aid to good digestion, because of its natural ability to absorb trapped wind and to help neutralize body odor and gas.
So next time you burn those vegetables or that toast, go ahead and just eat it. Some may not like the taste, but it can become an acquired taste for many, plus you are saving money on the food you would otherwise throw out.

CHEM Equals Quality Of Life
Representing What We Should Be Doing With Our Lives.
CHEM is an acronym that, happily, is an abbreviation for Chemistry. CHEM 101? But in a more precise way it represents the chemistry that one might find present in a healthy family. (more…)
They are the veritable building blocks of life. No children, no life, it is that simple, both from a personal viewpoint and the viewpoint of family, culture, religion, and nation. Any nation that reproduced below replacement is not long for this world, ditto for individuals, families, religions, languages and cultures. Replacement is defined as least 2.2 children per woman average. Reproduction at 1.1 or half of replacement equals statistical extinction in less than 100 years.
But, in this day and age, the question is HOW? How does a young best and brightest couple make the marriage, the money and the time to have all the children they would like WHEN they want them. Waiting till you are in your thirties and forties is not a sensible option, nor is have just one or two or none a sensible option either. The bottom line is we have a problem in this area, but on closer inspection it is not a problem that has not attended having children since time began. Having and raises children has always throughout history been a challenge, which is one of the things that make it truly worthwhile. (more…)
Children Raising is more than half of the way a child will turn out. Genes are important in all kinds of ways, but nothing beats the way a child is raised. An interesting, and true, take on this is provided by Reb Bradley who can be accessed via his website www.FamilyMinistries.Com. He has written books and articles, and lectured, on the topic of child raising in the context of a Conservative Believing family.
His point is that children are born Liberal Healthens, and so must be raised Conservative, or they will surely grow up to be Liberals with all the problems that entails for themselves, their families, and the society they live in.
Reb Bradley’s magnum opus, “Born Liberal, Raised Conservative” is a blockbuster on this subject. He points out with painful clarity that even babies show all the negative attributes of Liberals. They are self-centered, narcissistic, and selfish hedonists. If this Liberal streak is not trained out of them, they will go on to become self-indulgent adults.

The Chinese have figured about everything out, much like the Greeks did, but the problem is neither was able to consistently practice what they preached. In any case they have both left us a legacy of wisdom that can be life-saving to us, if we will but apply it.
One of the best Chinese Sayings relates to Food use and abuse, and tongue use and abuse. It goes like this:
“All Sickness enters in through the mouth, and all Trouble comes forth from the mouth.”
By mouth, of course, they mean consumed in some way, which would include drug addiction with shooting stuff in our arms and sniffing it up our noses, and smoking by sucking bad stuff into our lungs, and even by absorbing bad things through our skin.

Pure unadulterated Chocolate is very good for you. That is without the sugar and other additives that will destroy your health. You can buy 100% Chocolate bars at better healthfood stores, and best of all you can buy chocolate “Nibs” that are the small chunks of crunchy pure chocolate just as they come from the Cacao pod. You can also buy whole Cacao beans and break them open and eat the nibs, but they are harder to find. However you eat it, this pure unadulterated chocolate is incredibly good for you, and helps with every illness and disease. For best price, order them in bulk online, where you will have to shop around.

“Separation of Church and State”
First of all there is no such thing. This unfortunate phrase came out of the malicious and overactive brain of Jefferson, the worst president in our history. He was wrong on hundreds of things, and disastrously wrong on several. One of them is exactly where this silly phase surfaced in a personal letter to one of his political supporter pastors. It is the only legal standing the phrase has. It nowhere appears in the Constitution. (more…)
This is just a quick refresher course lest we forget what has happened to many, many “friends” of the

Cocoa, Without Sugar and other Additives, Is Good For Your Health
Specially formulated cocoa very well might soon be considered part of a treatment plan for the prevention of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. (more…)
Soy is way oversold in health food stores, and even has some serious side effects, especially on your thyroid. Corn oil is just a terrible oil to consume. Coconut oil is much better than either of these, but why not consume the whole coconut and get all the other good nutrients including substantial protein, fiber, minerals and vitamins. Eat a coconut a week or so. It will do you good.

Coffee Table Exercises
You can find no better friend of your health than a good sturdy coffee table. You know, like the one you probably have sitting in your living room, or like one you can pick up iun any re-sale junk shop for a couple of dollars. The one in the living room, or another one wherever you can locate it can become a very valuable piece of exercise equipment right in your home. But it must be the study type that can easily hold your weight. Get a hold of such a one and go to work.
Throw a towel or something thicker like a rubber pad of some sort if you want, and mount the coffee table with a vengeance. If you have privacy, perhaps you can consider working out in the nude. Start any way you would like, but consider the coffee table, henceforth, to be your exercise partner.
You can start any way you like, but one way is to stand on the floor next to it and bend over, placing your hands on its sturdy top and start doing all sorts of stretching exercises, (Please use your imagination, it's what God gave it to you for.) but its main use is to lay flat on it on your back to get your back straightened out, AND relaxed.
The coffee table is just the right length to allow your legs to hang over one end, and your arms, back and head to hang over the other. This convenient length allows a longer range of motion for much of your body than just laying on the floor.
You can slide yourself up and down the table to get just the position at that moment that you feel is doing you the most good. Remember, you are your best coach, and your best fitness trainer, especially after you have trained yourself a bit..
After all, you know more about yourself, and are able to learn more about yourself than anyone on earth ever will be able to, so why not put all that knowledge to good use for your own benefit. Consider the amazing fact that you work for yourself for nothing, whereas others are going to charge you in one way or another, as they well should.
Start you coffee table routine any way you want, but be sure to resolve to do it every day. It is the daily addictive habit of doing the right things that can make THE big difference in your life. Just think, if you were a drug addict or an alcoholic, would you take a day off. Why no! So, you as the exercise, health, goodness, truthfulness, and so forth addict should not take a day off either. If feeding his daily addiction is good for the substance addict, why isn't it even better for the person with a few good addictions?
Well, now that you have now met your future good friend, the coffee table, you have put one more notch in your health and fitness gun stock.

A Short & Surprising History of Protestantism & Contraception
by Allan Carlson
It is a reckless analyst who risks reopening sixteenth-century disputes between Roman Catholics and the Protestant Reformers. I do so in the interest of a greater good, but my purpose is not to say who was right or who was wrong. I would simply like to explore why the Protestant churches maintained unity with the Catholic Church on the contraception question for four centuries, only to abandon this unity during the first half of the twentieth century. (more…)
The Greatest Threat To America today is our abnormally low birth rate. Best and Brightest Americans are reproducing at a suicidal rate of half of replacement. The popular family size for Conservative Believers seems to be two, or one, or none. Any human population that reproduces this way, soon dies off. Any human group that breeds at a rate of half of replacement becomes statistically extinct in less than a hundred years. This is not opinion, it is simple arithmetic. (more…)
Contraception Birth Control BC
A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. Proverbs 15
Birth Control raises lots of questions in most people’s minds, especially those who are religious. Here are some common Q & A on the subject:
Q. Do Christians approve of birth control?
A. Generally, no, though opposition spans a spectrum from total rejection to acceptance. Despite various church teachings on the subject, people tend to do as they please, many considering it a private matter, therefore, many practice one form or another of Contraception from time to time as they see fit.
Q. What birth control methods are, and are not, acceptable?
A. Again, there is a range of acceptance from none, to everything, or anything, including abortion that are legal. In ancient times infanticide (killing live babies) and abandonment at any age (leaving in a desolate area) were commonly utilized to get rid of unwanted children. These would be clearly illegal now in most all countries.
Q. What about within marriage versus outside of marriage? Do contraceptives have a place in marriage?
A. Government generally makes no distinction, but various religions may make a distinction wherein contraception within a marriage is looked on with greater disfavor, while others do not make this distinction. A popular argument today is regarding encouraging unmarried singles to use birth control to prevent unwanted pregnancies.
Q. What does the Bible have to say about the whole matter?
A. Those in favor of birth control take the position that the Bible is either silent on the matter or that in any case that, that was then and this is now. While those opposing birth control point to a wide range of Biblical references that would condemn contraception, most famous of which is Genesis 38 wherein Onan used a technique call coitus interuptus, or withdrawal, to prevent his wife from getting pregnant, for which God killed him. Some Christians argue that God didn’t kill Onan for this act, but for refusing to raise up children in honor of his brother. It is hard to follow this difference. It seems a distinction without a difference.
Q. What about children, do they have a value that contraception negates?
A. Most believing people agree that children are a blessing of the Lord, but some qualify this to say that we are also to be a good steward of those blessings and so they justify limiting children to those they can be good stewards of, meaning provide them with advantages that they conclude the child needs. This can be as simple as affording the toys that other children have, and so forth. Another reason is that many believe that marital intimacy was designed for bonding between husband and wife and for pleasure between husband and wife, and not just for procreation. Both of these views can be seen as selfish motives on the part of parents. And another reason that some see as a justification for contraception is that it can prevent some abortions, though how many we are not sure. This raises the whole matter of the difference between a contraceptive act which prevents a birth before conception and abortion which prevents a birth after conception.
Q. What does God think about contraception?
A. If children are from the Lord (as the Bible says), then using contraception could be seen as shaking a fist in the face of God saying “Back off, we have our own plans”. There are many scripture references which support the anti-contraception position, but essential none that oppose it. There has yet to be found any scriptural reference that supports the use of any form of contraception.
Q. What does the Catholic Church say?
A. Here is a quote from “Catholic Position on Birth Control,” “Contraception is wrong because it’s a deliberate violation of the design God built into the human race, often referred to as “natural law.” The natural law purpose of sex is procreation. The pleasure that sexual intercourse provides is an additional blessing from God, intended to offer the possibility of new life while strengthening the bond of intimacy, respect, and love between husband and wife. The loving environment this bond creates is the perfect setting for nurturing children.”
Q. How did Christian Churches come to different conclusions on this matter?
A. Few realize that up until 1930, all Protestant denominations agreed with the Catholic Church’s teaching condemning contraception as sinful. At its 1930 Lambeth Conference, the Anglican Church, (which at the time was vastly influential among Protestant denominations,) swayed by growing social pressure, announced that contraception would be allowed in some circumstances. Soon thereafter, the Anglican Church completely caved in, allowing contraception across the board. Since then, practically all other Protestant denominations have followed suit. Today, the Catholic Church alone still proclaims the historic Christian position on contraception, but even they have given in somewhat to popular pressure. The Rhythm Method is the measure of that compromise that has left many Catholics with a substantial loophole. This is a method of birth control called Natural, because it doesn’t utilize some material object to prevent pregnancy. It uses the timing of the woman’s monthly period, to avoid intercourse during the half of the month that the woman can conceive while allowing it during the time of her menstruation. But, even this method can only be done with certain conditions that have been elaborately detailed particularly in the Papal Encyclical, Humanae Vitae (Of Human Life).
Q. What about those people who don’t have the desire to have children?
A. Question comes to mind, why should such persons get married at all? We have loosened the laws to such an extent that people can live together legally, and have sex without even living together, so why degrade and corrupt the idea of marriage by not wanting to have children within marriage? Then again, there is no talk of forcing people to have children, so birth control is only a moral, ethical and religious question.
Q. What does it mean when the Bible says, God knew us from the beginnings of the earth?
A. It means, (to a Christian) that God knows the future; therefore He knew all of us at the beginning of creation.
Q. Is Contraception a modern thing?
A. No. It has been around since the very beginning. It came in as a consequence of original sin. Cain killing Abel was, among other things, an attempt to cut off Abel’s reproduction. It was the most effective form of birth control. When you kill a person you forever prevent them from having any children. It is the surest form of birth control imaginable. Infanticide was practiced by Pharaoh’s doctors who killed the Israelites babies as soon as they were born, and one of the pagan religions practiced widely by the Canaanites was Moloch, where the people would throw their infants into the mouth of Moloch in the form of a fiery furnace. The most evil thing a human can do is kill their own children, and the most effective way of killing ones children is to stop the woman’s egg and the male’s seed from coming together in the first place. A hundred times more babies are eliminated by contraception than by abortion.
Q. How is a baby alive before it is conceived, in other words, when does life actually begin?
A. It depends on how you look at it. In some sense, life never begins and ends, but is a continuous stream. You represent a continuous unbroken stream of life that extends back thousands of years. Your mother had a mother, and her mother had a mother, and so on all the way back to the beginning life on this planet. No matter how you look at it either from a Biblical perspective or from an evolutionary perspective, life is a constant unbroken continuum. For example every single sperm has a complete set of genes, or DNA to make another human being and every single one of these millions of sperm seeds are a totally unique person unlike anyone that has ever lived or ever will life on this planet. Every egg in a woman’s ovaries was there the day she was born, all 300 something of them. And each one is a completely distinct person unlike anyone who ever lived, or ever will live. Thus when a single sperm or egg are killed, a person dies that can never be replaced because no two are alike. This is perhaps the life, and life more abundantly that Jesus spoke of giving us.
Q. Doesn’t doing away with birth control mean showing a lack of trust in God? For if He wants a child to be born He can make it happen, right?
A. Yes, God can do anything, by definition, but the Bible is full of examples warning us not to “tempt the Lord thy God.” For although God knows the future, still he let’s us make our own. God knows how everything will turn out, but he allows us the freedom to do what we want to. It is like an experienced teacher who knows in advance the student will fail, but doesn’t want to discourage the student by telling him that he is going to fail. He wants to give the student every chance to not fail, and telling him he was going to fail would not be a kind thing to do.
Q. Well, shouldn’t young unmarrieds use birth control?
A. The problem with teen pregnancy is two-fold, neither on cured by condoms, or pills. One, they shouldn’t be having sex as early as some of them are, and two, if and when they do have sex and it results in pregnancy the boy and girl should do the right thing and get married. The difference between a healthy and sick society is that in a healthy society kids who get pregnant get married, and in a sick society they don’t and end up becoming single mom societal problems.
Q. Without birth control won’t people have a baby year and end up with 20 kids?
A. Well, no. Most every woman will only have a baby every 3 years at the outside, and if we go back and look at families that did not practice birth control. They would average 8 kids more or less, but in any case, more kids are considered by many to be a desirable outcome. Should we kill some of our kids because someone has figured there are too many kids?
Q. Can’t I use contraception if I want? Is it not legal?
A. Yes, you can do as you wish and it is legal to use contraceptives. But, all actions have consequences and we need to know those consequences before we take action. The consequences of using birth control are many and we need to know what they are. Here are a few: First, it displeases God and violates his commandments, Second, It means we may get old and have no children at all. People drop dead every day at all ages, from all kinds of things. If it happened to you and you had “planned” to have children later, then later never happened in your case. Ditto for everyone else. Mothers who have just one child and he goes to war for his country and is killed is devastated in a special way as he was her only child because she chose to use birth control. The list could go on and on with consequences for using birth control, among them is the harm it does to a woman’s health, and the damage it may do to her marriage. A husband may divorce a wife if she will not have children, or more children. So, all actions have serious consequences, and you can make your own list. But it is a good idea to consider ALL the consequences of our actions BEFORE we act.
Q. How do we deal with the problem of irresponsible parenting that brings so much heartache into the world?
A. Well, one thing we don’t do is stifle the reproduction of the responsible parents. We crack down hard on irresponsible people, especially if they are irresponsible parenting. Girls who have kids by men they don’t even know need to be jailed, and have the child taken away from them, and then they need to work the rest of their life paying the government child support for the child to be raise in a first class boarding school, or by an adoptive parent. After the word gets around these girls will not do this. When you hit them in the pocket book their conduct changes real fast. And the guy needs to be discovered through DNA and he needs to be paying the rest of his life too, or go do hard labor in jail. After that word gets around on the street, these young thugs won’t be so eager to knock up these girls and then leave them in the lurch. That and a dozen other ways is how you deal with irresponsible reproduction. Soon thereafter you won’t have that much of it. That is, NO Government subsidies for irresponsible reproduction. After this gets cleared up we might get around to subsidizing the responsible young wholesome families that really need our help.
_____________________________________________________
Contraception Means “Opposed to Life”The practice of contraception is, at its root, a denial of God – a self-centered personal interest in sex without consequences, without, I might say, any of the GOOD CONSEQUENCES a beautiful child carrying the DNA of you and your thousands of ancestors going back thousands of years. All those fore-parents are looking down on you knowing you have their very lives in your hands. When you kill the Sperm and Egg that represent all that remains of those ancestors you, in effect, kill them all over again, and again.
_____________________________________________________________
Yes, it is true, all contraception kills, BUT, the real problem concerning this widespread killing is that it kills way too many of the very people that the world desperately needs in order to survive. In other words it kills in very disproportionate numbers the Best and Brightest of the human race regardless of their ethnicity, or any other defining characteristic. (more…)
First off, 50% of all destroyed sperm and egg combinations are women, and the same ratio pertains to aborted children. If that carnage is not enough spilled blood to satisfy the ghouls who run our society, a host of other harms, disabilities, and fatal conditions also affect women as a consequence of the contraception methods, chemicals and devices being pushed on victimized women, among them, breast cancer. (more…)
Before 1930 all Christian churches opposed contraception, never mind abortion, as an unnatural act and a forbidden sinful interference with God’s design for human sexuality.
All that changed when, at their 1930 Lambeth Conference, the Anglicans allowed the use of contraception on a limited basis. Other Protestant denominations quickly absorbed the resultant secular sexual morality that flooded the Protestant world. Today no Protestant church maintains the historic Christian faith and position on this issue. (more…)
Protestants especially need to analyze contraception.
When some Catholics talk about the evils of birth control, most Protestants, and indeed most Catholics, think The Church is taking opposition to abortion too far when they say that not only is killing unborn children with abortion wrong, but that Christians taking any measures to prevent pregnancy is also wrong as well.
Even a lot of pro-life anti-abortion activists think there is nothing little wrong with birth control, especially if it is of the preferred natural sort. But just like the issue of abortion, which at first was not thought too much about, the contracepting of life is now also becoming increasingly seen as taking the life of an innocent children.

The humble Cookie may well be the oldest food known on earth that antedates not only humans on this earth, but dinosaurs as well. No wonder Cookies are a staple in every mom’s kitchen, and standing proof of every girl’s ability to find the way to her man’s heart through pleasing his stomach.
The very first thing little girls seem to want to do is to pretend to bake cookies to give to their make-believe baby dolls. Baking make believe cookies for make believe children is quickly supplanted in a few years by the real thing, and we have another generation of loving caring wives and mothers baking cookies for real live husbands and children.
It is significant, and even somewhat humorous, that Hillary Clinton at the height of her husbands drive for the White House in 1992, took time out to be interviewed about how she would fit in. The interview turned confrontational over what role she would play as first lady when Hillary, suddenly, in a fit of pique, blurted out an amazing revelation concerning what she thought about cookies. The world was startled to hear her shocking words, “I could have stayed home and backed cookies, but I chose to have a career.”
The remarks were, at the same time, defiant and apologetic. How dare she sacrifice the revered role in society of cookie baker in chief for her little family, in return for merely being an attorney? The nation was shocked, AND divided, over whether it was more important for a woman to be able to bake cookies, or be an attorney in the White House. This debate is not settled yet, and likely never will be, but cookies made headlines for days, and the Cookie word itself may have been the most memorable word to come out of the landmark 1992 presidential election that put Bill and Hillary Clinton in the White House. Cookies were never more secure and smug.
Joking aside, cookies are no joking matter when it comes to feeding humanity all these thousands of years. They were often the difference between life and death. The first cookie was made when some edible matter of some sort, got ripe, fell off a tree, ripened and spoiled some more on the ground, was stepped on by some animal or other, got rained on and mixed with other edible stuff, and then laid back to bake in the hot heat of summer until it turned into a dusty brown morsel faintly shaped like a cookie that was thence picked up by some animal or human and carried away to their den or cave and there fed to hungry young offspring. Likely they liked it very much, and mom went right out to find some other such offerings of nature.
Cookie gathering is still practiced today by any number of animals. Just watch a squirrel, and notice the little goodies he picks up and carries off to squirrel away for winter as a food supply for the family. Humans would still do it to if it came to that.
But, we are so well off that we now have available to us these marvelous ingredients and equally marvelous utensils and stoves to bake them. We are well able to turn out, yes, lots of cookies. Moms are still feeding their kids cookies just the way prehistoric moms did, and just like the animals do today. The cookie is the most basic, nutritious, easy to prepare, food known to living things. A compost pile is at its core just a big cookie making machine.
Cookies are a perfect food in so many ways it is hard to name them all. For example, it supplied the journeys of explorers around the world for thousands of years and it has been a mainstay for feeding armies and navies in war time since history has been written.
Without sea biscuits (cookies) Britannia could never have ruled the waves, and without hard tack (cookies) the armies in the Civil War would have had to suspend the war on many occasions.
A cookie is any edible material that has been alternatively soaked in water and baked by heat, whether by the oven or the sun. In the process it has the water baked out of it and everything it contains is cooked and sanitized. Any edible that fits this description is properly a cookie of one sort or another. It might be called in some cases a cracker, or other names, and in other cases a pancake, but everything that is a dried food turned into cakes are cookies. Scandinavian crisp hard bread is just another form of cookie.
Cookies can be made from any combination of edibles and water, which are then baked into a dry lump. In this dry state the cookie can last without any preservatives for weeks, months or even years if need be. The drier it is the less likely it is to spoil.
Dry cookies, by most accounts are the best kind. They crack, snap and crackle in the most tasteful ways. They are crunchy, crisp and wonderfully al dente. Chewable is what they are, and this is the best sort of food for our health and well being. The more you chew something the more digestive juices are created, and the more satisfied you are. Eating crispy things is a good way to cut down on calories, and cookies are great for backpacking and hiking as they weigh a lot less without all that water and moisture in them. Frankly, what the world needs is a lot more cookies. And meat can become cookies too. Beef Jerky is just a meat cookie.
But hold it, what is wrong with this picture? Ah yes, we have all heard that cookies are not good for you. Now why would anyone say that? Well, it seems that all cookies are not equal. Some cookies are better for you than others, a lot better. [Note: Like a lot of great things from the past cookies are not what they used to be, far from it.] Cookies of all sorts on sale today, and those made in most homes, are terrible food. They will literally kill you, and cripple your children.
So, what’s the problem?
Problem is, they are made from terrible unhealthful, and indeed, actually poisonous, substances. Some of these “ingredients” are so bad; it is an insult to food to call them food at all. Cookies of all sorts today are mostly made of four terrible non-foods, Sugar, Salt, Grease and Flour. None of these are really healthful, and none of them are needed, or required, to make wonderful, life giving, healthful, cookies.
The thought comes to mind that there ought to be a law to prevent this, but this is unlikely anytime soon. So, in the mean time, it is up to people like you and I to try to save ourselves, our families and friends, and as many of the rest of humanity as we can, and pray hard for the remainder. Cookies have come on hard times because of the continuing degeneration of society to such an extent that no one seems to care about anything, much less cookies.
The world needs to get rid of its horrible bad cookies and produce a lot more good cookies, along with acquiring the knowledge and education to know the difference.
It is very simple really. Good cookies are made from good ingredients and bad cookies are made from bad ingredients. Cookies are getting a bad rap from bad cookie makers who are using bad ingredients. Well, this is all simple to say, but putting this simple dictum into practice is like pulling off a worldwide revolution. It is definitely a hard sell.
The housewife wants quick, easy, and cheap ways to feed her family, and businesses just want to please customers at the lowest cost possible in order to effectively compete with their competitors. If they don’t make a cheap cookie their competitors will, and they will be out of business, and their employees with be without a job. Government is just into, as usual, their own comfort and self-preservation, and getting re-elected as often as possible, while doing as little work as possible for the highest wage possible.
Good ingredients are expensive and bad ingredients are very, very, very cheap. Bad food thus drives out good food. It is a law of life. Unless something like government intervenes to set some standards this is what invariably happens .
What makes Sugar, Salt, Grease and Flour bad ingredients, and are other there other bad ingredients in popular cookies? Point number one: Every single food on earth contains naturally occurring Sugar, Salt, Oils of some sort, and Flour, which is just finely ground grains for the most part. But turning grains and other things into powdery flour is not a very good idea from a health standpoint.
It destroys a lot of nutrients, sometimes most of them, and exposes the grain to spoilage of all sorts including rancidity, and gives us far less fiber, and gives our teeth, gums and digestive organs way too little work.
High quality oils are expensive, so both businesses and housewives shy away from them in favor of the cheapest of oils that really deserve to be called “grease.” Hog fat is one of the worst offenders, but corn oil and some other cheap oils are right up there with it. These cheap oils, (greases) are cheaply and badly processed, and should, by rights, be banned as food products. They do not even deserve to be called food.
Sugar is the worst of the non-food substances that we load into our food products, and into our cooking in the home. Human beings do not need any added sugar of any sort in their diets, whatsoever. Every natural food on earth is naturally loaded with plenty of both sugar and salt, and any additions just place our bodies on overload and lead to Heat disease and Diabetes among a hundred other killers that are produced by these Four deadly Horsemen of our Dietary Apocalypse, namely, Salt, Sugar, Grease, and Flour.
Sugar, Salt, Grease and Flour should at least be heavily taxed, if not outright banned for human consumption. Flour, depending on how it is made, is the least dangerous of the four, but none of these four are necessary to our health or well-being. And are, sad to say, basically, poisons being pumped into the food we eat and feed to our children.
There are also a witch’s brew of chemicals, most of them deadly, that are being routinely added to our food, including our cookies, without so much as a fare thee well. Government seems to not care anything about the citizens health, and businesses, bless their hearts, are only trying to compete and survive at home and abroad. They, like us, depend on government to set reasonable standards that apply to all equally, and that should strictly include both domestic products and foreign imports.
When these kinds of standards are universally applied, American Business will do just fine, as long as it is on a level playing field. But government seems congenitally unable to rise to the task of umpiring food producers. We cannot disadvantage some businesses while giving the green light to others to poison us as much as they want. You cannot force American food producers to follow rules that are not being followed by foods imported from elsewhere.
Reading food labels today is often like reading a chemistry textbook. Simple rule: If you don’t know what a word means and can’t pronounce it don’t buy any product that contains it.
Fact is, it is easily possible in any kitchen, never mind in any food manufacturing plant, to make perfectly healthy cookies of every imaginable sort, and it can, and must, be done.

Now concerning the things
Whereof ye wrote unto me:
It’s good for a man not to touch a woman. 1 (more…)
Now as touching things offered unto idols,
We know that we all have knowledge.
Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. 1 (more…)
Am I not an apostle?
Am I not free?
Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord?
Are not ye my work in the Lord? 1 (more…)
Moreover, brethren,
I would not that ye should be ignorant,
How that all our fathers were under the cloud,
And all passed through the sea; 1 (more…)
(Women, Hair, Contention & Communion)
Be ye followers of me, even as I of Christ. 1
Now I praise you, brethren,
That ye remember me in all things,
And keep the ordinances, as I delivered to you. 2 (more…)
(Spiritual Gifts Member Parts of the Body)
Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren,
I would not have you ignorant. 1 (more…)
Moreover, Brethren,
I declare unto you the Gospel,
Which I preached unto you,
Which also ye have received,
And wherein ye stand; 1 (more…)
Baubles, bangles, bracelets and beads:
Are these the things that meet our needs?
Corporate greed is rife because,
The corporation is no cause.
It’s a horse without a rider,
It’s a drunk drank too much cider.
Business will not, ‘less it has to,
Have God and country to look up to.
In and of, and by itself, it lacks
Any morals, ethical standards, or facts.
It goes by only one thing, the bottom line,
While that is fine, alone it’s too strong a wine.
To serve the nation it must be brought to heel,
From that basic fact there can be no appeal.
The corporation was made to serve the nation;
Our nation not made to serve the corporation.

Crystal Baby’s Baby Time
It was a dark and stormy night
Our grandchild would fight to see the light.
Through Godly rain that washed the world
We drove to see new life unfurled
The night my baby had her baby,
God set the stage, no ifs, ands, or maybes
This was the most real thing in life, life,
Brave as any warrior, drum and fife.
The night my baby had her baby surely
Was an act of love sublime and pure.
When the call came in at 10PM
It was ready time; for us or ‘em.
During labor, the world held its breath
As Angels sang of the sister born of Seth.
A child of promise replacing Abel,
Miya Reagan fit and able.
My baby’s face was all radiance
As all stood by in her attendance
Her face transfigured both by pain and joy
The times, they called for a girl, not a boy.
My baby had become unto an angel’s likeness
I called for a camera, as God’s my witness.
But with her David by her side
She fought the fight for the right to abide.
