RE: Avocado Cleansing, and more...

Will:

I hear there is a good chicken supplier out your way -- speaking of chicken

and soy foods, which most of the major suppliers (INCLUDING the brand Whole

Foods stocks), add to their chicken feed. I bet we all get much more soy than we

have any idea of through the chicken we eat.

Anyway, I digress.

I heard there is a guy growing some good clean chickens he mail orders in

Iowa or Nebraska (remember I am in the South, so with my personally induced

warped view of geography, I am sure these states are within 100 miles of you and

are considered close neighbors <G>). I think his name is Mark Haskins, .

Since you hang around with those organic farmers treating their cattle, have

you heard anything about this guy?

I am looking for some sources of good chicken. Most of the chicken near me is

factory farmed (I am reasonably close to Gainesville, GA, the chicken capital

of the world) so local chicken is not a good option.

Thanks, (Atlanta)

Someone once said.

The myth is

spread by the industry that long-lived Japanese eat it a lot but they

don't.

When they do, it's fermented.

I beg to differ with this. I lived in Japan for 2 years and almost

every week we bought fresh tofu (made that day) from the local tofuya (a

store that ONLY sells fresh tofu and NOTHING else). And I lived in many

areas from Gunma-ken all the way down to Osaka/ Kobe area. So at least

where I was those kind of stores were EVERYWHERE. They did eat

fermented as well but I'll bet fresh sales far exceed the fermented

sales. Now, having said that.. I think that long-lived Japanese people

live long because they eat a LOT of vegetables, not a lot of soy. JMHO

Okinawans are Japanese and included in Japanese longevity statistics. The

longest living people in the world (Hunzas and other 'native' people's longevity

are a myth) are those of Okinawa and " The Okinawa Program " - a 20 year Harvard

study, documents their diet and lifestyle. The diet is high in vegetables, some

soy products, little meat. However, there are several lifestyle attributes that

go along with it which include lots of walking and Tai Chi. Added to that, the

younger generation of both Okinawa and Japan are consuming more and more of a

Western diet and their longevity is falling. Along with their falling

longevity, their body construction is changing too from the stereotype 'short'

body to a taller one (animal steroids?).
