Welcome

Food no longer has value in our society. We buy it boxed or bagged. It comes pre-cooked and processed for shelf life. Taste is added chemically. We eat behind a steering wheel while talking on a Bluetooth burning fuel from red light to red light.  We eat to fill our bellies just to pacify it for a few hours and we eat this junk at blazing speeds, gorging on starchy carbs like a drug addict creating hunger and cravings with every bite. No wonder we are obese and pre-diabetic.  Food, Socrates said, is our medicine, and we treat it like porn. It looks good, tastes good - more please, with no regard to the consequences. 
Two years ago I was very diabetic, and obese and ate as such.  I have learned a lot since then. I will attempt to share what I learned.  Be pre-pared -what you think is healthy probably isn't. Lets explore the joy and flavor of real food, the honest ingredients we have long forgotten, and some cooking skills to use them.
