Invasion Of The "Frankenfish"
I'm a big fan of salmon. It's full of essential nutrients like omega-3s and astaxanthin, the powerful antioxidant and pigment that gives this healthy fish its pink color and protects your DNA.
But now Big Food is about to add my favorite fish to their list of GMOs (genetically modified organisms). That's yet another "Frankenfood" masquerading as yet another staple of a healthy diet - without your consent or your knowledge.
You see, the FDA has ruled - as it has for other GMO foods, like corn and soybeans - that this new, genetically engineered salmon doesn't need to be labeled as such.(1)
That means as soon as it hits the shelves of your local supermarket or the menu of your favorite restaurant, you'll never know that you're eating it...

"Best healthy snack!"
I was in love with these BBQ spice pork rinds the instant I tried them! The spices are perfect, and I love that they are fried in pork fat instead of seed oils or other rancid oils. I order them every time I place an order with US Wellness Meats. Try them--they are nothing like the ones you buy in the stores!

Forget Detoxing- Show Your Liver the Love It Needs with Ancestral Foods
We live in a poisoned world... Exhaust from cars, factories and power plants contaminate the air. Chlorine and fluoride are added to our water... not to mention gender-bending chemicals and other pollutants that make their way to the tap. Flame-retardants coat our furniture. Stain treatments protect our clothing. We take chemical drugs when we are sick. We rub chemical cosmetics on our skin. And nearly everything on supermarket shelves has been preserved, dipped, dyed or sprayed. Your body is immensely adaptable. It can protect you from occasional exposures to these contaminants. Unfortunately, however, for the average person, our exposures are anything but occasional. They are chronic and nearly constant. The results of a lifetime of chronic exposure can be serious disease or just a general feeling of sluggishness, fatigue, pain and general "unwellness." Now, that's the bad news. But there is good news...

Simple Tender Pot Roast with Holy Grail Gravy
Author: Eileen Laird
Ingredients:
- 2-4 lb. chuck roast (with or without a bone)
- 1 onion (chopped)
- 4 carrots (chopped in large chunks)
- 2 stalks celery (thickly sliced)
- 2-4 garlic cloves (whole)
- 1 bay leaf (whole)
- 2 branches fresh rosemary (whole)
- 1/4 cup of broth (or water)
- sea salt
- black pepper (optional - omit for AIP)
Directions:
- Put all the veggies and herbs in a crock pot. (If you don't have a crockpot, preheat your oven to 250 degrees and use a lidded casserole dish or dutch oven instead.)
- Pour ¼ cup broth on top of the vegetables. (This small amount is intentional; the meat will release its own juices.)
- Season all sides of the roast liberally with salt (and pepper, if using), and place on top of the vegetables.
- Cover and cook on low 6-8 hours, until meat can be shredded with fork. (If you're using an Instant Pot, choose the Slow Cook "Normal" setting and cook the same amount of time.)
- When done, lift meat out of crockpot onto a plate and make the gravy.
- Throw away the bay leaf and rosemary branches. Pour the liquid from the crockpot into a blender. Add half of the cooked vegetables and puree. To increase the thickness of the gravy or strengthen its flavor, add more of the vegetables. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
Notes: I love serving this pot roast over garlic mashed cauliflower, with gravy on top. For leftovers you can put the meat and gravy in one container, tossing to blend before refrigeration. This keeps it moist and flavorful, and makes reheating a breeze.
