“The food supply chain is breaking,” company chairman John Tyson said in a blog post on the company’s website April 26, warning of an upcoming shortage in steak and pork. “Millions of pounds of meat will disappear” as plants close, he added. This month, the company has shuttered a meat processing plant in Pasco, Wash., that produces enough beef in one day to feed 4 million people; two of its largest facilities in Iowa and Indiana; and a chicken processing plant in Tennessee because of COVID-19 outbreaks.
Tyson’s comments parallel alerts from JBS SA, the world’s biggest meat company, and Smithfield Foods Inc., the world’s top pork producer, that consumers are likely to see meat shortfalls. On Sunday, JBS said it will shut down another beef production facility in Wisconsin." https://www.marketwatch.com/story/impossible-foods-beyond-meat-see-spike-in-demand-as-coronavirus-wreaks-havoc-on-meat-supply-2020-05-05?mod=mw_latestnews This is the time to connect with your local food producers more than ever! I stock up on inexpensive bones and organ meats. Good luck with fake meat, which lacks fat soluble vitamins. Animal fats are not the demons they're made out to be. Malnutrition will result if people turn to lab-meat as their main source of food. For fast food junkies, they might not care too much anyway? This is getting interesting....the future is here.

Homemade fermented ginger ale electrolyte beverage. Very refreshing and tasty on hot days.
Let continue to ferment for at least a week or more. Tighten lid when it has pretty much finished to capture carbonation but keep an eye on it and open over the sink! Jars can explode so take care. Practice fermentation safety! Make a new batch when that one is finished by reusing the previous batch ginger and some of the juice. Add a little bit of fresh ginger for each new batch. Follow the same recipe above for perpetual homemade ginger ale. Great for digestion! Add with fizzy water, plus coconut water for potassium and sea mineral drops for magnesium electrolytes with fresh squeezed lime for refreshing summertime beverage.
"The human race evolved under the sun, and for thousands of years lived in harmony with its heat and light. Yet over the last fifty years we have lost this close contact with the sun and its healing powers. We have become afraid of it.
However the sun is central to our well being and health. Did you know that: • designing and building sunlit houses can help prevent disease, make us feel happier and save energy • sunlight can help prevent and heal many common and often fatal diseases like breast cancer, heart disease, multiple sclerosis and osteoporosis"

Some people use vinegar to "pickle" their eggs. That works but is not real lactofermentation and I don't believe as healthy as lactofermenting. If you want real pickled eggs with healthy living enzymes, then try lactofermenting them. It's super easy.
Another batch of organic beet kvass
Make sure to add the culture otherwise you may ferment bad bacteria! Very important! You could also use live kombucha or live apple cider vinegar with the "mother" to use as the starter. The live bacteria eat the sugars and convert them to lactic acid. Make sure it's strongly acidic when it's finished. Botulism dies at high acidity/low pH below 4.6. Salt also inhibits bad bacteria, so make sure to use enough. Beet kvass is considered a blood tonic. It's great with meals to add digestive enzymes. Add the fermented beets to a meal as a condiment. Take a shot any time during the day or if you feel a cold or flu coming on. Oven roasted lamb shoulder
I followed a simple recipe I found online. I used my home grown herbs, rosemary, basil, himalayan sea salt and ground pepper. I roasted until internal temp reached 180. It came out medium rare, tender. https://www.nutritionadvance.com/foods-high-in-vitamin-k2/
"Vitamin K2, otherwise known as menaquinone, is an essential vitamin that has some important benefits for our health." One miraculous energy source has garnered the attention of many nutrition experts and researchers over the past decade. No, it is not carbohydrates, fats, or even protein. We call them ketones or ketone bodies (more on the difference between the two later). To your body, however, ketones are nothing new. Raw milk, gelatin, kefir, coconut kefir, homemade yogurt, MCT oil, maca powder, kelp powder, egg yolk. Add optional fruit like blueberries or cherries.

"And when we feel like our efforts aren’t getting us to our goals, the most normal response is to give up trying and to not bother to try again.
This is an effect called “learned helplessness,” first described by Dr. Martin Seligman and his colleagues: when we feel we have no control, we just stop trying. Many of my patients living with obesity will describe trying over and over and over again to lose weight only to find themselves heavier than when they started. And often I will hear them say “and then I just gave up." That’s learned helplessness. And once learned helplessness sets in it’s hard to undo. But there is a way we can avoid learned helplessness: by focusing on behavior as a goal instead of weight as a goal. If you try harder to go for a walk, you’re much more likely to go for a walk, but if you try harder to "lose weight" you don’t necessarily lose more weight. In fact, the stress of trying to lose weight may increase the cortisol levels in your body and make it harder to lose weight." https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-psychology-weight-loss/201908/we-don-t-control-our-weight ...but God chose the no-good things of the world to put to shame those who are wise, and God chose the weak things of the world to put to shame the things that are strong, and the low-born things of the world, and the things that are treated with contempt—God has chosen these—and the things that are not, to bring to nothing the things that are... "The mitochondria, as defined by Dr. Feister, are the keys to energy and longevity, which is why it holds a special place in the cell. By the end of this blog post, you’ll be on a whole different plane regarding why and how you should take special care of your cellular health—not something we generally discuss when we seek superior health."
