It’s been a long time — June 2005, in fact — since we’ve had saffron milk cap mushrooms off our little trial patch of Pinus radiata infected with the gourmet fungus, but this year’s wet autumn has really got the mushrooms moving. After 113 mm of rain in March and 54 mm so far in April, the ground is more than moist, and a myriad of different mushrooms are popping up all over the farm. Continue reading This is our first truffle newsletter for the 2014 season. Welcome to the first Limestone Hills truffle harvest newsletter for 2014.

In an age of erratic weather and instability, it's increasingly important to develop a greater self-reliance when it comes to food. Makenna Goodman: Many gardeners (both beginners and more serious growers) come across obstacles they might not have planned for. Carol Deppe: The basic issues are getting more control over our food, getting lots higher quality and more delicious food, and enhancing the resilience of our food supply.

The Survival Food Pyramid will get you started stocking food in a logical, simple, and economical way. Everyone who has a basement full of canned goods and a survival garden started somewhere. The Concept The top of the pyramid is for stocking the smallest amount of food for the shortest amount of time. This pyramid will keep you from spending time and money on preps that, while they may be useful overall, are pointless to you right now. Click for Large View Immediate If you are new to prepping, or you are experienced but find your supplies jump all over the map, start by stocking enough food and supplies for a 3 Day Emergency.

Humans, like all other creatures great and small, exist in the global food web. But it's not where you think. We're not on top. When researchers from a number of French marine and agricultural science institutes calculated countries’ trophic levels--essentially, measures of energy that inhabitants consume through eating--they found that consumption habits over the last 50 years varied wildly. To break it down: Trophic levels cover the spectrum of eating habits, from herbivore to the most carnivorous predators. It was probably time to ditch that whole “top predator” nonsense anyway. In sum, the global median trophic level has grown 3% over the last half-century, with much of that growth coming from India and China. Scandinavian countries, Mauritania, and Mongolia have some of the highest trophic levels in the world, but the Swedish government recently imposed a series of taxes on meat to encourage healthier eating.

Fat Burning Foods - 7 Foods that Increase Metabolism
By Zoe Ruderman Jesus Ayala Cinnamon Without going into the whole scientific explanation of why it works, adding 1/4 to 1 teaspoon of this spice to something you eat every day — hot cereal, marinades, yogurt — helps blood sugar get into cells to be used for energy, so less is stored as fat. Green Tea One ingredient, caffeine, is a stimulant that raises your heart rate and compels your system to burn calories faster. Yogurt Yeah, dairy has a bad rep for high calories, but yogurt, both the low-fat and regular kinds, contains probiotics: "friendly" bacteria that preliminary research suggests may actually help reduce the amount of fat your body absorbs. Coffee Again, the caffeine kicks your metabolism into high gear.

Food - definition of food by The Free Dictionary
They contend that no food is necessary, nor do they eat; but any one of the most rudimentary intelligence must realize that food is a necessity to creatures having actual existence." "I am helping to lay up food for the winter," said the Ant, "and recommend you to do the same." I heard the master give the order, so I knew there was plenty of good food, and I thought I was well off. For that matter, Jerry, like any dog, was able to differentiate between the mere direct food-giver and the food source. We behold the face of nature bright with gladness, we often see superabundance of food; we do not see, or we forget, that the birds which are idly singing round us mostly live on insects or seeds, and are thus constantly destroying life; or we forget how largely these songsters, or their eggs, or their nestlings, are destroyed by birds and beasts of prey; we do not always bear in mind, that though food may be now superabundant, it is not so at all seasons of each recurring year.
