Boar’s Head (Safeway) Meat Recall

[HiloJulie]

Although I have not found any of this recall to be specifically involving the State of Hawaii, the recall is termed “Nationwide” and has now been picked up by the local (Honolulu) media outlets. 

Be careful out there!

If it doesn’t kill you fast, it’ll kill you slow.

I never knew that "household chorse" could help prevent dementia.

Seriously, this is the study:

I don't know if many will take it seriously, but why make your younger life less enjoyable when you are fit and able to extend it to when you aren't?

We’re in Puna, where we have fresh fruit, fresh vegetables at farmers markets (if you know what to look for) and the $20 ahi truck in Keaau.  If you buy those items for dinner you’re also not shipping in processed foods from thousands of miles away.  Local foods taste pretty good, although it can take time for our bodies and minds to adapt to different comfort foods than we were raised with.  I ate everything my mother put on my plate as a child and liked it, now I almost never eat mashed potatoes, canned vegetables, with a pork chop (never), chicken (never), beef (never). 

Braunsweiger? Liverwurst?  I grew up in farm country with butcher shops.  I saw what they ground up in there.  I’m sure it’s even more terrifying these days. 

This article says otherwise fit young people have two to three times the risk for certain cancers, probably due to obesity.  One cause of obesity is ultra processed foods:

experts say, by doing your best to maintain a healthy body weight, exercising regularly, eating a balanced diet low in ultra-processed foodsand red meat and high in plants and fish like salmon, drinking minimally and not smoking. “None of these things are easy, but they are the things we can recommend,”

Yes, we sure have come a long way since “scientific evidence” showed no ill effects from smoking, even with Arthur Godfrey proclaiming that Chesterfield cigarettes are “the best for me!”

A old friend of mine in Pahoa, got mercury poisoning from eating daily portions of ahi for several years. He had assumed it was safe to eat.

I believe most recommendations are to not eat red fish daily.  It also depends where it’s caught.

HOTPE, what's wrong with chicken?

HOTPE, what's wrong with chicken?

I don’t eat any meat, but I believe chicken meat is probably the least detrimental to your health.  And Costco rotisserie chicken is certainly the least detrimental to your wallet.  If you’re already in Kona.
