Raw cow milk and eggs--was Re: Grain-Free Crackers using nut or soy pulp

[Guest guest]

,

To the best of my knowledge, my farmer feeds primarily hay (dried grass) with

some nutritional supplements made for cows starting in late Autumn through early

Spring. He buys hay from fellow farmers in his area, because he doesn't grow it

himself.

Also, my farmer is now selling soy-free eggs, because many of his customers

(like me) don't want eggs from chickens who are fed chicken feed containing soy.

From what I have learned from one of my group's organizers, it is pretty hard to

find commercially available chicken feed that does not contain GMO soy, but the

soy-free feed is available (but expensive). And I think that my farmer doesn't

make his own chicken feed because he is too busy with his cows and other

livestock, so he has to buy it. In the warm months according to my source, other

farmers who farm in the same area where my farmer lives don't need to rely as

much on chicken feed because the hens are busy eating bugs, worms, and other

plant food like grass. Even right now in January, the yolks in the eggs I'm

getting are a much deeper yellow than the so-called organic, free-range eggs I

have bought in the past at health food stores. In late Spring through Autumn,

the eggs I get have the deepest orange color yolks, and they are the best

tasting. I love eggs, and it really is unfortunate that you and many others have

an allergy to eggs. I eat eggs every day because there isn't much else I can eat

for breakfast.

Dr. ph Mercola (mercola.com) says that eating the same food every day can

cause one to develop allergies. So far, I have not developed an allergy to eggs

(and I've eaten them every day for virtually five years). After I get my

Vitamix, I will try green smoothies fortified with a high-quality whey protein

mix and flaxseed oil, and see how that goes for two or three breakfasts each

week.

> Lynn, I have my own cows, but I avoid their milk during the winter, since they

need to eat grains then (gluten DOES pass in to milk of grain fed critters)

During the times I am without raw milk, I use rice, buckwheat or

sunflower/pumpkin seed milk, all of which make a great substitute and are easily

made with the Vitamix. I can't do almonds, but do make that for my

daughter-Vickilynn's recipe for almond milk is great! You can also do chia,

flax, bean or legume milks-all work a charm. (thanks to the Vitamix, that is,

lol)
