BE DISOBEDIENT: MAKE SAUERKRAUT!

BE DISOBEDIENT:
MAKE SAUERKRAUT!

Picture
​I had the most interesting conversation with a very elderly lady from Germany the other day. Of course, we got talking food. I guess I made an assumption when I asked her for advice about making authentic sauerkraut. To my surprise this 96 year woman from the home of sauerkraut had never once made it. She said she recalled going to the cellar as a child to bring some up for her mother, but she never learned how to make it herself.
She went on to say that she knows just how much we have lost. She recalled being told by her physician in the 1940's when she was having her first baby that she should not breast feed – formula was proven to be much healthier for baby! She said, as she shook her head in dismay, that she and all of her friends just wanted to be good mothers and they automatically obeyed doctor's orders.
Isn't it quite incredible to think of how cultures and traditions change, and just how long it is that we been adrift in a sea of not only misinformation, but of really harmful advice? And isn't it even more incredible that most of us still follow it so willingly today?
What happened to our healthy traditions and our ancestral wisdom? New age corporations seduced whole societies into believing they had everything figured out for the good of us all. The old world ways were shoved aside for better ideas. We lost our traditional wisdom around nourishment and healing to the marketers – and they were good. So good, that now, nearly a hundred years later, most of us still look to corporate backed experts to save us, and as we blindly obey them, they laugh all the way to the bank.
But I take heart, because I think we are in the midst of an awakening. It's happening on the counter tops in kitchens all over the world. I think that this time in history that has had devastating impact on human health, especially for the children has just been a temporary stall. We'll get going again in the right direction. We humans are gifted with an astounding ability to rebound, given the chance.
So, be disobedient to corporate sponsored 'wisdom'! Choose not to buy the heat processed dead version of foods like sauerkraut.  Go for the real thing that our ancestors knew would sustain health.  Take only the good that the corporate lords have to offer.  The wisdom that can be learned from our ancestors can free us from a rush to obedience to conventional advice on nourishment and healing - advice that leads to illness and life-long customers.
Ancestral wisdom is still there for the asking. Start here with a great video overview of probiotic-rich fermented foods: http://www.westonaprice.org/beginner-videos/fermented-foods-and-beverages-video-by-sarah-pope/.  Then follow the link to the Healthy Home Economist site to check out the free video library which includes instruction on making sauerkraut and many other delicious and easy to make fermented foods. Do it for your health, in honour of the lovely lady from Germany and for all our ancestors. Enjoy!
