Grew up in Door County. Belgian father and dutch/native American mother. We never had less than an acre garden. Canned everything. All natural, permaculture farming. My mother was born in 1929 and father 1920. Children of the depression. I went to Madison and have lived in Hawaiʻi for over 30 years. I have a 3 acre food forest in kurtistown. Would love to meet you and talk story. Your videos resonate deeply with me. Mahalo and Aloha 🤙🏽

We were brought up like you. “Eat what is in front of you. Mostly fish n home grown vegetables.

My best diet and good cooking only came after I left home. Since Grandpa would eat anything, Grandmas cooking didn't have to meet any high standards. She was the reason I learned to cook!

Grew up on ultra processed food because my parents didn't cook. That's when we had food. I often had to go to the neighbors to eat.

We had a boy down the block who never got proper food at home. He was amazed when my mother would offer him a sandwich. I once saw him steal a sizzling steak, bare handed from a neighbors grill. He was always hungry, it drove him mad.

Fatty Liver Disease is the most painful death known to man. Because the pain meds are not processed by a dying liver. Thats why people look pregnant, their liver is swollen and doesn't filter the blood properly.

Let this be a warning to us all. Poor eating habits often result in long suffering.

Most wheat fields are sprayed with Roundup a week or so before harvest. This forces all the wheat to ripen at the same time thus increasing yield. This is why GMO wheat is banned.

Any questions why I grow so much of my own food? Aloha

Edna’s grandfather (maybe great grandfather) fought with Bismarck. She is Polish so I can’t figure he was on Bismarck’s side or against him😊

Grandpa was a German draft dodger. He claimed to have covered a lot of the planet while escaping WW1 in Europe.

I agree with you 90%, but it has been found that consuming gluten as a Celiac causes permanent brain damage that doesn't fully heal. So... I can't cheat on that. It's not an allergy, sensitivity, similar but different. Plus I become insane for about a week. Other than that. I really enjoyed my trashy meal at a cafe today, but usually eat very healthy all organic and love it. On the depression, I've been thinking, the people in my generation who make it through will probably be very resilient due to the modern great depression. I recall eating rotten meat quite a bit on the mesa. It was just what I had to eat.

Raw is as far as I go. Rotten is for the flies. Better to eat flies? Very briefly, in a breath, some place in this video, while referring to peoples tastes in food, I mention this has nothing to do with allergy. If you can't eat something because it makes you sick then do not eat it! I have no allergies but I do have sensitivity to some foods and I am better if I don't eat them.

@@GreenGardenGuy1 yeah I know you mentioned it. I adhere to it like a religion. OK maybe not fully rotten but like... Very close.
