too much of the same song kinda makes me remember why I didn't want to join the church that said only their bunch would get in the pearly gates on judgement day.
Be a good example is the best policy. You can catch more flies with...

Ditto, Gracie. Preaching is a turnoff. I always tell my hubby that we all can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.
I love veggies and always have; plus beans, lentils, fruits, etc.
Do NOT like whole grain or whole wheat pasta....at all , period.
Love oatmeal made from scratch.
Deep dark green veggies like spinach, kale, escarole, etc. in soups which are home made during the winter time...........
We eat very little red meat at all..........however, yesterday we did enjoy some kabobs which had small chunks of filet mignon, big mushrooms caps, red and green pepper squares. I marinated them in Italian dressing before he put them on the grill........then gave him some Greek Seasoning to sprinkle over.......mint, oregano, garlic, sea salt etc. Delish.
Everyone needs some hemme iron every now and then...........
SOY IS NOT GOOD FOR EVERYONE. IT ACTUALLY CAN BE DETRIMENTAL TO ONE'S HEALTH.
Olive oil is considered healthy as part of the Meditteranean Diet Plan.
My ancestors used it "forever" and all lived long long healthy lives.
I know how to cook well balanced meals without using processed foods or going through the drive up window.
However, it's the preaching and lack of consideration for other's viewpoints or life experience............no one particular person do I have in mind. It's all a blur after awhile............
I will also restate that mostly all of the ones we've known who died young were excruciatingly skinny......to the point of extreme.......
Who knows why? Maybe it was just their time. Maybe they didn't eat but drank themselves to death........or maybe they were secret smokers.
It shows up as wrinkles.
A well balanced diet of all the food groups, used in moderation with a "happy heart" and consideration towards others to just let everyone "live and let live" to me would be ideal.
I do realize that when some people find a new "life path" they get all excited and want to share and change everyone around them........however, it's better not to be so stringent about it all.
In our local morning paper today, our town is giving out FREE summer breakfasts and lunches to children 18 years old and under until school starts again..........we were just saying, "Can't the 18 year olds make themselves a peanut butter sandwich?".........go figure.
I always made our two children three meals a day with snacks inbetween.
They always were thin and healthy and still are..........everything in moderation. I had friends who "rationed" the food and their kids are fat today. Again, go figure. Not all, but it seems that some young moms don't know how to cook anymore..........
Our entire country has turned towards socialism. I've changed the topic.
