Meeting the Expectations of the Land by Wes Jackson, Wendell berry, Bruce Colman (North Point Press, 1985) A classic in the field, this book of essays about the nature of good farming still speaks sense twenty-odd years after it was written, by reminding us that all agriculture depends on certain fundamentals: soil, sun, and water—certainly —but also care, intelligence, and a respect for legacy. | His book is, in many ways, an homage to the work of farmer-poet Wendell berry, and it teaches important lessons about the American agrarian past and the possibilities and necessities of an agrarian future.
The One Straw Revolution: An Introduction to Natural Farming by Masanobu Fukuoka (Gardners Books, 1992) From a small village on the island of Shikoku in southern Japan comes a story that brings together the classic elements of Taoist innovation: observation, insight, and a cheerful disregard for conventional wisdom. | We begin to anticipate the return of a certain raptor, the timing of a berry harvest, the angle of the sun on an April evening. Some of us step from this awareness directly into new allegiances, into a sense of political activism that springs from an expanded sense of community, while others just begin to feel more at home.
Another dimension of placing ourselves is having a clear-eyed grasp of the industrial metabolism in which each human life, as part of a global economy, is embedded. | The Editors of FC&A See book keywords and concepts | Still, Yuan claims, "Since this berry contains agents that are effective against both obesity and diabetes, the ginseng fruit has enormous promise as a source of new drugs."
Fruits and veggies to the rescue
Vegetables and fruits should always make up a big part of your diet, but if you're diabetic, they're even more important. And here's why - they contain vitamins and minerals that attack diabetes head on.

The Strawberry: Doubtless God could have made a better berry but doubtless God never did.
—Dr. William Butler, seventeenth-century English writer
Fresh fruits and berries add color, variety, and powerful nutrition to any meal, snack, or dessert. The vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals in fruit make it a food "superhero" and the ultimate brain fuel. Most fruits are 80 to 95 percent water (a composition much like the human body) and are naturally low in fat and calories. | Bradley J. Willcox, M.D., D. Craig Willcox, Ph.D., Makoto Suzuki, M.D. See book keywords and concepts | All kinds of wheat start with the unprocessed wheat kernel, or wheat berry, which consists of three major parts: the bran, germ, and endosperm. Wheat bran, the rough outer covering, has little nutritional value but plenty of fiber. During milling, the bran is removed from the kernel. It's sold separately and used to add flavor and fiber to baked goods. Wheat germ, the embryo of the berry, is a concentrated source of vitamins, minerals, and protein. It has a nutty flavor and is very rich in oil, which causes it to turn rancid quickly. | James F. Balch, M.D. and Mark Stengler, N.D. See book keywords and concepts | Juniper berry (Juniperus communis) tea is another strong diuretic kidney cleanser. Drink 3 or 4 cups every day until the stone passes.
Vitamin C supplementation has been shown to lower the incidence of kidney stone formation, when the level is below 4,000 mg daily.

Alternative food sources of vitamin D

Today, they think there's only "X" number of vitamins, and there's still more yet to be discovered.

It's up to you to decide which system you want to experience. | James Howard Kunstler See book keywords and concepts | Wendell berry has compared their operations favorably with industrial farming in several books.2 Can Amish farming practices be separated from the stringencies of Amish religion and social organization? The Long Emergency could provoke a broad renewal of religious observance in America out of misery and desperation, but I do not imagine that any large numbers of ordinary Americans will rush to become Amish. | As Wendell berry put it, "a corporation, essentially, is a pile of money to which a number of persons have sold their moral allegiance. ... It can experience no personal hope or remorse. No change of heart. It cannot humble itself. It goes about its business as if it were immortal, with the single purpose of becoming a bigger pile of money."1 The corporate oligarchs of, say, Wal-Mart, Archer Daniels Midland, and the Disney Corporation were not necessarily evil people, but it i. Wendell Berrv, "The Idea of a Local Economy," Orion Online (www.orion. | Carlo Petrini See book keywords and concepts | Generosity as an economic form: it was a way of coping with social positions of poverty, with forms of hardship, and it had a precise meaning.

Good Things in a Small Package
2 calories per fruit
Is it a berry or is it a cherry? Actually, it's both. The tart and exotic acerola berry is also known as the West Indian cherry. Nutritionists know it for its vitamin C, with a single berry packing a generous 81 milligrams. That's 25 percent more than the official recommended allowance in each tiny fruit. You can't get this much of your daily vitamin C allowance from just a bite or two of an orange! | Joseph E.

For me, a regular guy who had never been involved in politics, much less ever met a congressman or senator, it was an honor to receive that letter, signed by every one of them and with the "Congress of United States" seal on the letterhead. I marveled at it, reading it over and over again. Only about ten years earlier, I hadn't even been a U.S. | Senator Olympia Snowe (R-ME) added, "If European countries can safely trade prescription drugs, the United States should be up to the task as well,"8 while Representative Marion berry (D-AR) emphasized, "Here we are in a global economy, and the United States allows these drug companies to take advantage and rob our own people. That can't continue."5
When the elected representatives were done presenting their views, they had yet another surprise for me. Because of Pfizer's letter, Representative Jo Ann Emerson (R-MO), gave me a military flak jacket. |
