Alternativas para sustituir la carne

KALE

He visto esta noticia en varias ocasiones en la internet."Kale, la nueva carne."Todavía no he visto la hoja en el supermercado. Pero estoy pendiente. Aquí muestro los beneficios que ofrece esta hoja, que parece ser de textura un poco fuerte, tal vez haya que cocinarla un poco, como hacen con la espinaca. Mientras, nos vamos asesorando de sus propiedades alimentarias.De interés para todos los que hemos eliminado parcial (sólo pollo y pescado) o total, la carne de animal en nuestra dieta.    autobus-escuela en EU para adiestrar a escolares.

 Hago un llamado al Departamento de Agricultura de PR, para que muestre un poco de interés en estos temas, ya que tenemos bastante lugares todavía para sembrar, y entiendo que este vegetal puede darse en el clima de aquí (si se da la lechuga y muchos parecidos) y comienzen a hacer una siembra, que provee empleos, y provee alimento autosustentable para PR. Todos los ojos, mentes, manos, está dirigido a política, a los gays, a las matanzas diarias, y nos olvidamos de cosas como estas, que son bastante importantes y nos concierne a todos.Hace un tiempo nos visitó un universitario de Africa, y se asombró de todas las plantas que vio sembradas en PR y que NO consumimos y que desconocemos su valor alimentario, y utilidad.  Yo no lo hubiera dejado ir de PR, a este caballero, sin que nos documentara su información, y hasta nos diera un seminario de un par de horas a las personas a cargo de tomar decisiones en la agricultura.  Hay personal en el Jardín Botánico, área enfrente de esas facilidades, que están preparados para aportar información y proyecciones a los dueños de terrenos. En el día de ayer, entré en la computadora unas instrucciones de cómo se siembra un aguacate. No es tan fácil como meter la semilla en la tierra. Hay que documentarse, y no es una ciencia. Quiero escuchar que se está haciendo, en estos momentos en que el dinero falla, y dependemos cada vez más de los barcos de suministros.

Kale Is The New Beef

  The USDA’s new food pyramid (MyPlate) suggests the healthiest choice is making vegetables and fruit the biggest part of every meal by reducing consumption of animal proteins. Kale is far more nutritious than other leafy greens, but these seven reasons why it is such an important futurefood may just surprise you.

1. Anti-inflammatory: Inflammation is the number one cause of arthritis, heart disease and a number of autoimmune diseases, and is triggered by the consumption of animal products. Kale is an incredibly effective anti-inflammatory food, potentially preventing and even reversing these illnesses.
2. Iron: Despite the myth that vegetarians are anemic, the number of non-vegetarians with iron-deficiencies is on the rise. Per calorie, kale has more iron than beef.
3. Calcium: Dairyand beef both contain calcium, but the U.S. still has some of the highest rates of bone loss and osteoporosis in the world. Kale contains more calcium per calorie than milk (90 grams per serving) and is also better absorbed by the body than dairy.
4. Fiber: Like protein, fiber is a macronutrient, which means we need it every day. But many Americans don’t eat nearly enough and the deficiency is linked to heart disease, digestive disorders and cancer. Protein-rich foods, like meat, contain little to no fiber. One serving of kale not only contains 5 percent of the recommended daily intake of fiber, but it also provides 2 grams of protein.
5. Omega fatty acids: Essential Omega fats play an important role in our health, unlike the saturated fats in meat. A serving of kale contains 121 mg of omega-3 fatty acids and 92.4 mg of omega-6 fatty acids.
6. Immunity: Superbugs and bacteria are a serious risk to our health. Many of these come as a result of factory farm meat, eggs and dairy products. Kale is an incredibly rich source of immune-boosting carotenoid and flavanoid antioxidants including vitamins A and C.
7. Sustainable: Kale grows to maturity in 55 to 60 days versus a cow raised for beef for an average of 18-24 months. Kale can grow in most climates and is relatively easy and low impact to grow at home or on a farm. To raise one pound of beef requires 16 pounds of grain, 11 times as much fossil fuel and more than 2,400 gallons of water.

1. Oysters - Oysters have long been suspected as a love drug. Cleopatra and Casanova had one thing in common, they loved oysters. Legend has it that Casanova ate dozens of oysters per day. The Venetian romancer once seduced a vestal virgin by seductively sliding an oyster from his mouth to hers. If that doesn’t get you in the mood, I don’t know what will! In fact, current research proves our suspicion. Oysters improves dopamine levels which boosts libido in men and women. Oysters are also high in zinc which is vital for testosterone production and healthy sperm.

2. Watermelon – Some experts have called watermelon the new Viagra. Bhimu Patil, researcher and director of the Fruit and Vegetable Improvement Center at Texas A&M University, stated eating watermelon delivers Viagra-like effects on blood vessels throughout the body and may increase libido! This cool refreshing fruit contains citrulline amino acid. Citruline is good for the cardiovascular system and helps relax the blood vessels that increase sex drive. 2 If you want to get in the mood, make this Watermelon Sorbet and share it with your partner. I’m all about the easy delicious recipes!

3. Chocolate - All chocolate comes from cacao bean. In its processed form it is known as cocoa. The Aztecs referred to cacao as nourishment of the Gods. Modern day foodies know raw cacao in its pure unadulteratedform is a superfood. It has more antioxidants than green tea or red wine. It also contains a stimulating chemical known as phenylethlamine, that stimulates the sense of excitement and well being. The Journal of Sexual Medicine published a study that found, women who enjoyed a piece of chocolate every day had a more active sex life than those who didn’t. I get my daily dose of raw cocoa with my Raw Cocoa Coconut Fudge Recipe. I eat it every day, and it’s literally a five minute recipe.

4. Asparagus - Known for its suggestive shape, asparagus is high in a B vitamin known as folate that aids in increasing the production of histamine. Histamine is important for a healthy sex drive in men and women.3 The most delicious asparagus is just picked, it is so sweet! Grow your own or buy it fresh and organic at your local farmers market.

5. Avacado - A recent report stated organic Sicilian avocados are taking Europe by storm. Apparently the Europeans can’t get enough of them. The ancient Aztec’s nickname for avocado was “ahuacatl,” or testicle because of the fruit’s shapely form. The Catholic Spanish priests found avocados so sexy, the forbade them to their parishioners.

6. Maca - Is known by many as Peru’s natural Viagra. Apparently this natural root has been known throughout Peru’s history as a sex enhancing root passed down by the Inca. According to Discovery Health’s medicine hunter Chris Kilam, the maca plant is used by the Peruvian culture to increase strength, stamina, energy, fertility and libido. Wow this sounds like a winning combination! Maybe I’ll start adding it to my morning smoothies.

7. Pumpkin seeds - Like oysters, pumpkin seeds are high in zinc which is essential for healthy sperm production and preventing testosterone deficiency in men. They are also loaded with libido vitamins and minerals like vitamin B, E, C, D, K and minerals including calcium, potassium, niacin and phosphorous.4 Next time Halloween comes around, now you know what to do with those left over pumpkin seeds, roast those babies.

8. Chiles - The stuff that makes chilies hot, capsaicin, can actually rev up your libido. Have you ever noticed a natural high when eating chilies? Capsaicin promotes the release of chemicals that can raise your heart rate and trigger the release of endorphins that give you a natural high, which pumps that libido!

9. Figs – Legend has it figs were one of Cleopatra’s favorite foods. According to Dr. Nalini Chilkov, L.Ac., O.M.D, figs have been prized as a sensual food for their resemblance of the female sex organs. The ancient Greeks valued figs more precious than gold and many cultures associated figs with fertility.

10. Garlic – Eating raw garlic may make your partner turn the other way in bed, but it can certainly stir up your sexual desire. The heat in garlic is what stirs up your libido. Garlic contains allicin, which is thought to increase blood flow to sexual organs. This trick doesn’t work overnight however, apparently you need to consume it for about a month to reap its rewards. If you can’t stand the raw garlic go for the capsules found at your local natural food market.

ID, identificación ojos scaneada a 750 niños en escuelas,por el disctrito escolar, sin el permiso de padres

Parents furious after their children’s eyes scanned by school district without permission

June 24, 2013 at 6:41 pm

by J. D. Heyes –
Not only is Big Brother’s surveillance leviathan growing larger by the day but it has become a most arrogant creature as well, operating at will against the people – or, perhaps more appropriately in this case, operating against the will of the people.

The latest example originates in Florida, where a school district scanned and cataloged the irises of hundreds of students without the permission of their parents.

According to TheLedger.com:
The unraveling began in late May, when the Polk County School District sent home a letter to parents. A new pilot program, it explained, will track bus riders using a feature unique to every child – their irises.
Parents could opt out, but by the time they learned about it, a company named Stanley Convergent Security Solutions had already captured images of about 750 children’s eyes.
Um, opps! Sorry…
Immediately upon discovering what had occurred, school officials both halted the pilot program amid a torrent of parental complaints and blamed their failure to notify parents ahead of time to a “clerical error.” Rob Davis, district administrator for transportation and school security departments, said his secretary emailed the parental notification letter late to principals, who then would have sent it onto parents.
There was more to it than that, however. According to TheLedger.com, emails sent between other district staffers – in addition to interviews the paper conducted with administrators – indicate that the late letter “was only one of multiple behind-the-scenes mistakes that left parents and some top school administrators in the dark, allowing a company to collect children’s biometric information without the parents’ knowledge.”
According to the records:
– Under terms of the pilot program, it would have remained in operation at no cost to the school district for 60 days, though that still required a contract. However, district staffers permitted Stanley Convergent onto three separate school campuses and allowed them to scan the irises of children before a contract was ever finalized;
– Interim school superintendent at the time, John Stewart, was to have final approval over the contract. As Stanley Convergent prepared to begin collecting iris scans, Davis told staffers to send Stewart the contract, but it never made it to Stewart, meaning the district’s top official did not learn about the program until the scans had already taken place;
– In addition, members of the district’s staff never discussed the program with Stewart in person. That includes Lum Thornhill, assistant director of operations, as well as Ann Marshall, “a safe schools specialist who is also assigned to the superintendent’s office to handle public records requests.”
The excuse offered for this rash of failures borders on the criminal.
“It’s just a busy place,” Marshall told TheLedger.com. “And unless you have an appointment to move something ahead, it’s not like you have an opportunity to chitchat. It’s not that anyone didn’t want to tell him (Stewart).”
And yet, had the process been followed, said Wes Bridges, an attorney for the school board, the iris scan program would have been stopped until parents could have been notified.
“It was almost a comedy of errors,” Bridges said – only there is nothing funny about collecting the data of children without permission.
‘They have no concept of what they’ve done’
Many parents whose kids were caught up in the “comedy of errors” weren’t laughing either – or buying the excuses.
Connie Turlington, who was upset that her 11-year-old son was scanned, said what happened did not appear to the outsider as a coincidence. “It sounds like a simple case of it’s better to ask forgiveness than permission,” Turlington told TheLedger.com.
April Serrano, whose eight-year-old son was scanned at a district school, was angry. “They have no concept of what they’ve done here,” Serrano said. “I feel like my son’s civil rights were violated.”
Thus are the pitfalls of the rising surveillance leviathan – arrogant, dismissive and getting larger every day.

En el mundo internacional, un ciudadano americano

En el mundo internacional

El estadounidense reveló dos programas de espionaje y evade la justicia 

MOSCU - El ministro de Relaciones Exteriores de Rusia rechazó el martes la petición de Estados Unidos para extraditar a Edward Snowden, el estadounidense que reveló dos programas de espionaje y quien al parecer está en Moscú tratando de evadir a la justicia estadounidense.
Serguéi Lavrov dijo que Snowden no ha cruzado la frontera rusa e insistió en que Rusia no tiene nada qué ver con él, sus relaciones con la justicia estadounidense o sus planes para viajar.
En conferencia de prensa, el canciller arremetió contra las demandas de extradición de Estados Unidos y las advertencias de consecuencias negativas si Moscú no hace caso.
Lavrov agregó que acusar a Rusia de "violar las leyes de Estados Unidos e incluso algún tipo de conspiración" respecto de Snowden es "absolutamente inaceptable e infundado".
El funcionario no especificó la ubicación del exempleado la CIA, quien reservó un vuelo a La Habana desde Moscú el lunes por la noche, pero no se presentó en el avión.

Strawberry Granola Wrap

The other day I took my girls strawberry picking. We picked 3 big buckets of perfectly ripe strawberries. I made this wrap for lunch and it instantly became a favorite of ours.
