We have slippery elm powder, but have forgotten to use it for ages!

There are all these theories going around now about cancer.
Apparently 50% of people in the UK will get it, some very young, it is tragic.

To just give a thought, dear Kate Middleton is a slim as a blade of grass.
I doubt she even touches any carbs.

There are so many possible reasons for getting cancer.
Red meat from beef which are fed pellets, which contain?
Pork is reared in disgusting unnatural conditions and fed rubbish.
Everybody says eat chicken, blimey this is one of the most intoxicated meats.

Grass fed lamb is the most natural, but how do you know it is grass fed?

Vegetables are full of pesticides.
Farmed salmon is really bad, try to get wild caught.
Shoot a bloody rabbit, if you have a gun.

Lady Penny, did you get your Dads apricot kernels? We have a teaspoon every morning and we have not been poisoned yet.

Keep away from sugar, fake sweeteners, too much salt. Junk food in general.
What the hell am I going on about, I still feel really angry how world is being destroyed.
Perhaps ignore me, you will be happier, sorry Jo Jo.

I am turning into a grumpy old biddy

If music be the food of love, play on.

@Joannie - I have re-read your message again and remembered some friends, older than myself and both dead now.
They were immigrants, Germans from the former Northern Yugoslavia. Hardworking tough people.
Husband was a builder, initially just a carpenter, but was prepared to take a small group of tradesmen into the out-back building structures for the Government, even built an entire shopping center, - living in tents for weeks on end etc. wife stayed home and did all the office work - they became wealthy.
But they were into 'food' in a big way - she was an excellent pastry cook - he liked basic home-cooking even made sausages himself - after his wife died he wanted to marry me, I should have said yes, but I could not bear him for more than the 3-hour visits, he sometimes made here and told me his life's story, which I wrote down, too, for his family.
At one stage, the 'club' we all belonged to had a custom of slaughtering a pig once a year and doing all the sausage-making etc. at the club premises.

What I am saying: they ate well, maybe too well, all their lives, husband got to be 90 (he died 3 weeks before his 90th birthday) - wife didn't get quite so old, because she was into baking, cakes,cookies, apples strudels, the lot - weekly - more for the festive season. They would even go and get their walnuts fresh from a tree, and shell enough to last them all year. They'd get 4-6 dozen eggs, when they came into the Hills (to an organic egg farm, where i still purchase my eggs) - but he would also make chicken soup and get the cheap carcasses, including chicken necks (where all the 'poisons' would be concentrated etc.) - nothing ever wrong with their stomachs, but the wife developed Diabetes - he died from some form of cancer which came on very suddenly - but essentially was only sick in the last year of his life. They did have a lot of fresh vegetables whilst her parents were still alive, who were excellent gardeners (and so were you!).

So; If you eat basic good food, most of it home-made, you should not worry too much about getting sick from your food.
