Dear John,
Can you describe the first ' fast food '
produced and distributed in the USA? The
answer is in a following article in this
edition of the News Alert
What is interesting, is to compare what early
pioneers valued as important and essential
compared to what modern 21st century families
view as
critical food with limited barter
potential.
Consider for a moment, heart disease was not
even a front burner issue for
medical schools until the 1930's. Then, think
about the diet in the 1800's and before in
North America that flipped the modern food
pyramid on its head with a diet rich in fats
and protein derived from wild game and
buffalo. Let's think about the Eskimos on a
super high fat organic diet before white man
tinkered with their grocery stores.
In closing, how many early photographs in
North America depict high numbers of obese
persons? Isn't it funny that a high fat and
protein diet versus the high carb diet of
today yields superior health. Maybe it is
time to give our forefathers credit for an
outstanding diet compared to the choices our
multi-national 21st century food companies
promote.

What Was The First Fast Food in the USA?
If you guessed pemmican,
you are correct. The Native American Indians
needed a nutrient dense food rich in protein
and calories that was transportable and
dense. In time, pemmican made from animal
fat, dried
berries and beef
jerky was a food source used for food and
barter with early trappers in America.
Both Indians and early pioneers relished the
instant or fast food features. Pemmican
required no cooking or clean up for
consumption, making it ideal for voyageurs.
One pound of pemmican was the equivalent of 4
pounds of fresh meat after the water is
removed.
After drying the jerky to brittle air dry
conditions, the Native Americans would use a
mortal and pestle to pound the dried meat
into a flakes and powder. The finely ground
dried meat was placed onto a buffalo hide
where hot tallow was added and mixed with
wooden paddles. This mixture was hand formed
into patties or placed into pillow sized
buffalo skin bags for a standard barter package.
Sadly, the commercial trade in pemmican was a
piece of the puzzle leading to the demise of
the buffalo herd in North America. Believe
it or not, but the Indians fought wars over
the right to harvest buffalo which was an
integral function of the pemmican trade.
Fortunately, clicking the pemmican
switch is all that is required in the
21st century. U.S. Wellness is honored to
fabricate the true first fast food in North
America used by Native Americans, early
trappers, American explorers and cold
weather expeditions such as William Perry's
North Pole trip.

EMAIL QUESTIONS TO: eathealthy@grasslandbeef.com
.......................................................................................................
Dr. Serrano,
I want to know how much and how often my
husband can eat good quality grass-fed
beef (along with range free organic
chicken), which is all we eat, so I'm not
worried about toxins. Is there a point at
which the saturated fat might be too much for
him, even with all the benefits? And if he's
limited, and soy is not good, I guess his
only other protein choice is rice and beans
since he doesn't like fish or turkey.
Thanks for your response. I really
appreciate your opinion.
Jolene
................................................................................................
Jolene,
Your husband should be able to eat beef
every day with no problems; unless, he gets
symptoms after eating it. However, if you
are eating meats with a lot of carbohydrates
like rice, then you must keep a closer look
on his sugars, because the combination of
fats and sugars or carbohydrate will elevate
the insulin response.
Jolene if your husband is having the meat
with vegetables and real fruits then he
should be able to consume meats
without any problems or concerns.
Best regards,
Dr. Serrano
