Introducing A New Food Prodect--Harvestbetter

My son, Rick, who is a food technologist, came up with a new product that is similar to peanut butter, but contains no peanuts or treenuts in it, what-so-ever. The taste is a lot like peanuts, and even in its manufacturing, there is no exposure to nuts or allergens of any kind. I mention this because this product, harvestbetter can be used safely by people who have food allergies. It is a nutritious, good tasting allergen free food.

Harvestbetter is made from 5 whole grains, and is completely vegan. In addition it is also a highly nutritious food. It contains a high level of the important antioxidants and anti-carcinogens that we all need. Especially as we get older, our bodies need an extra supply because our diets alone can not supply what our bodies need.

In addition there are added vitamins D3 and K2 to help manage calcium absorption by directing it directly into your bones (improves bone density), rather than allowing it to become deposited in your arteries.

Also important is the special fiber supplement which it contains, and it is called, "prebiotic". This serves as a food source for the friendly bacteria that populate our intestinal tract. A healthy "flora" of good bacteria prevents the invasion of unhealthy bacteria which cause infection in the first place.

As a medical doctor, I don't know any other food to have all these beneficial ingredients, and, as well as, a natural source without any synthetic or artificial ingredients. Even kids like it!

Havestbetter has been available since July, 2009 in 23 health foods stores in 7 states. It is also available on-line at either www.peanutfreeplanet.com and www.harvestbetter.com

Think Spring

Here it is, March 1st, can Spring be far away? Perhaps, but it is coming in like a lion, so I believe it will go out like a lamb. We have about 1 to 2 feet of snow on the ground, that is coming in like a lion. But hold on, by the end of the week we will have over 40 degrees. The warm weather will start, and spring will be about 7 to 10 days ahead of the calendar.

I received another Burpee catalog which is thicker than the first. This one is like an encyclopedia. On page 5 there is a new Blackberry bush that is thornless, and has large berries. I had black raspberry canes in Wisconsin, but the thorns would scratch you all up. However, one order is 5 plants, so I'll take it!

I also had a bad experience last year when I used a planting mulch made of heavy paper. It was thick paper and came on a roll. It was very hard to handle. It would not lay flat when unrolled, and the wind would keep picking it up. I used various pipes, and rods, and plastic garden nails, but there were always air pockets still underneath. Finally I wet it down, but it never did conform to the soil. It would get dry, and I would have to water the plants anyway. In addition it looked ugly. I personally, would rather hoe the weeds.

Let me end with a cute story. 'Tis spring, the birds are on the wing. How absurd. The wings are on the bird.
