(Tim Makay) But before you go and chow down on a bunch of fresh-picked berries, you had better know which ones are safe to eat and which ones are poisonous.

Artichokes: Nutrition, Benefits, & How to Cook and Eat Them
(Ocean Robbins) On December 21, 1931, New York City mayor Fiorello LaGuardia, in an attempt to break the mafia’s stranglehold on the industry, made it a crime to sell, display, or possess baby artichokes. Marilyn Monroe, an unknown actress at the time, was crowned California’s “Artichoke Queen” in 1948. The 17th-century Italian painter Caravaggio pulled his sword on a waiter who refused to tell him if the artichokes on his plate had been cooked in oil or butter. In the 16th century, Catherine de Medici scandalized the court of her husband, the French king Henry II, by eating artichokes, since they were considered powerful aphrodisiacs and were forbidden to women.
Vitamin A Benefits, Side Effects, & Best Sources
(Ocean Robbins) By the middle of the 19th century, most scientists believed that they had solved all the important questions of nutrition. After all, they’d discovered the building blocks of matter — atoms and molecules — and everything else was just details.
Food, Fuel, & Inflation Crises All Stem From Globalist Policies
(Patricia Adams and Lawrence Solomon) The global elites left Davos last week after grappling with solutions to the profound crises facing the world. They left as they arrived, unaware that the crises are entirely of their own making.
7 Best Foods to Support Kidney Function
(Dr Leonard Coldwell) Your kidneys provide a vital service to your body — they filter waste from your blood and send it to your bladder. They also regulate blood pressure, manage water reabsorption, control the acidity in the body, and balance electrolyte levels. Considering their importance, eating a diet to promote kidney health could be one of the best things you can do. The following seven foods will support your kidneys and make their job easier.
The Apocalyptic Global Food Crisis That We Were Told to Prepare for Has Already Started in 2022
(Michael Snyder) There isn’t going to be enough food for everyone this year. We have been waiting for the nightmarish global food crisis that so many have warned us about, but we don’t have to wait for it anymore because it is already here. Millions upon millions of people around the globe will be desperately hungry tonight, but what we are experiencing right now is just the tip of the iceberg because things will be so much worse by the end of 2022. If you don’t want to believe me, hopefully you will believe some of the experts that I quote in this article.
Plant-Based Hiking Food Ideas: What to Eat Before, During, & After a Hike
(Ocean Robbins) You can’t stop an idea whose time has come. In the 17th century, Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz invented calculus roughly simultaneously, even though neither was aware of the other’s work. Carl Wilhelm Scheele, Joseph Priestley (not to be confused with Jason Priestley), Antoine Lavoisier, and others independently discovered oxygen in the 18th century. And in the 1800s, Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace both came up with the theory of evolution and didn’t know of each other until both had published.
Food Bank Demand Soars (Again) As Inflation Crushes Working-Poor
(Activist Post) The highest inflation prints in four decades have forced some Americans to flood food banks and pantries (again).
They Can Print Money, But They Can’t Print Food
(Michael Snyder) Whenever there is some sort of a major crisis, our politicians normally attempt to solve it by spending money. But in this case, that isn’t going to work. Our leaders can try to throw billions or even trillions of dollars at the global food crisis, and they may even convince themselves that they are making a difference. However, the truth is that they simply cannot create food out of thin air. As I discussed last week, we are facing a worldwide nightmare of epic proportions. Fertilizer prices have spiked to absurd levels, extremely bizarre weather patterns are playing havoc with crop production all over the planet, and the war in Ukraine has caused a growing supply crunch that will not be resolved any time soon. There simply is no “magic wand” that our politicians can wave that will make this problem go away.
Are Phytoestrogens in Food Bad for You?
(Ocean Robbins) The 1986 film Little Shop of Horrors starred Audrey II, a Venus flytrap that feasted on human flesh and incited a flower shop clerk to murder two people to satisfy its ravenous appetite.
5 Healthy Berry Recipes & How to Use Berries
(Ocean Robbins) There’s a plant that grows in West Africa called Synsepalum dulcificum, which produces berries that do a remarkable thing — they flip your taste buds’ sensation of sour, making those foods taste sweet. Immediately after eating some of the mildly sweet berries, you’ll experience acidic foods like lemons and limes as extremely sweet. The effect lasts for about an hour.
Is Pineapple Good for You — and the Planet?
(Ocean Robbins) You’re an 18th-century British aristocrat. How do you show your fellow nobles just how rich and powerful you are? John Murray, 4th Earl of Dunmore, did it with a pineapple.
Edible Flowers: How to Find & Use Them in Recipes
(Ocean Robbins) Can we agree that many flowers are visually beautiful? We grow them in gardens, give and receive them as gifts (and as promises and apologies), and use them to brighten up our rooms. Many flowers also have heavenly scents that attract us nearly as intensely as the pollinators they’re meant for. (From this category I exclude Amorphophallus titanum, or the “corpse flower,” whose odor has been charitably described as “teenage gym socks.”) But flowers are more than just eye candy and lovely aromas — they also have a culinary tradition dating back to at least 140 BCE.
Don’t Get Rid of the Skin of the Fruit: Apple PEEL Is PACKED With Nutrients Your Body Needs
(Olivia Cook) Apples are among the most consumed fruits in the Western world, although some people don’t like the skin. Apple skin or peels are often discarded due to habit or preference by eaters, while others are worried about consuming potential pesticide residue or the natural wax coating that appears powdery on the peel.
If Food Production Ever Stopped, the Planet Would Run Out of Food in Just 90 Days
(Ethan Huff) Most people living in the West right now are blissfully unaware of just how close the world is to seeing widespread famine and starvation. Should food supply inputs continue to falter due to bad weather, inflation, sanctions and other factors, the entire world could run out of food in just three months.
