Stopping the pandemic is important but obesity is a major problem in the US. Living on the food on hand will break the junk food habit and train us to get by on a small meal every other day. Forcing more people to other stores seems to be a dumb idea. Bigger crowds, more potential problems. |

Don't give our Cheat-By-Mail governor out here in Nevada any (additional) ideas! The time and effort would be much better spent protecting those at the most risk. Those with comorbidity problems with the commie flu. |

Hi Ed, The obesity epidemic is caused by the SAD (Standard American Diet). What you call "junk food", is the stuff that sits unrefrigerated in most pantries. So they would be hitting that stuff, making matter worse. Also realize, that "healthy carbs" is a lie and "healthy carbs" is THE main offenders in SAD. There is no such thing as a healthy carb. I got bamboozled by that "health carb" marketing crap and wound up with T2. All of the health issues caused by SAD will not go away until we return to a "historically appropriate human diet". It does not help that high glycemic carbs are wildly addictive and very hard to kick. One of my distant brothers in laws lost his brother last month on the operating room table having his legs amputated over complications from T2. Now that is addiction! (He also may not have been given good advice from the allopaths he was seeing. Most, fortunately not all, have no clue and/or are too mired in conflict of interest to properly treat T2. "Those DT's are terrible, I think you should have a beer.") I am totally drug free (any drug) for eight years now. And totally under control. Thriving, not just surviving. -T |

I haven't been looking for them but offhand I don't recall seeing pearl onions on the island with the sweet, yellow, and red varieties. I'm not up for peeling a pot full of miniature onions anyway. Candied sweet potatoes were a staple too that I couldn't look in the face now. I'll bake some sweets today but I'll eat them straight up, skin and all, maybe with a little butter. Or the cream of shrimp and cauliflower thing... Never heard of that. https://i.pinimg.com/564x/ae/d7/0a/a...761a189cc0.jpg I don't though if Campbell's frozen soup exists anymore. The casserole was cauliflower, the soup, and a breadcrumb topping as I recall. There may have been some other ingredients. It wasn't bad and the soup actually had little shrimp in it. My mother was a good cook but there was a certain element of '50s Betty Crocker to it. The ethnic attempts like sukiyaki and chicken cacciatore were edible but wouldn't be recognized in their natural environment. The cacciatore required a bottle of what she referred to as 'shantay'. 'Doris Day's 'Chantez, Chantez' was popular and sort of was how you would say chianti if Italians were exotic critters. |

(Hidden Research) 2019 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lpH06ely7E 7 Signs You Need More Salt (2020) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4b10AhKx7cg Also it is probably not a good idea to use straight sodium chloride. Your kidneys regulate the ratio the "ratio" of sodium and potassium. I believe the number I last heard was 177:1 sodium, to potassium, but I could be off on the ratio. So, if you use straight NaCl, you can wind up with leg cramps, heart issues, etc., even if you get enough potassium. Sea salt is straight NaCl, all the other minerals are removed and sold off. My favorite full spectrum sea salt is Redmonds, which has no minerals removed: http://realsalt.redmond.life/wp-cont...t-Analysis.pdf But any "pink" salt will do -T |

I think she used frozen pearl onions when they became available. They might not be available any more, since half the damned frozen vegetable case is occupied with cauliflower rice and similar crap that people could make themselves with a cauliflower and a grater. Candied sweet potatoes were a staple too that I couldn't look in the face now. I'll bake some sweets today but I'll eat them straight up, skin and all, maybe with a little butter. I like 'em with a little powdered chipotle sprinkled on. The smoke and heat complements the sweet very nicely. My mother was a good cook but there was a certain element of '50s Betty Crocker to it. My mother and grandmother both worked, so neither had much time for or interest in cooking. I "enjoyed" such staples as: Pan-fried whitefish breaded with corn flake crumbs Spaghetti made with Campbell's tomato soup A dessert involving vanilla wafer crumbs, marshmallows, Cool Whip, and canned pineapple. A lot of people wax nostalgic for the foods of their childhood. The only thing I cook that my mother also cooked is pot roast, and I approach it completely differently. Cindy Hamilton |

Luckily my mother managed to both work and cook. We had pan-fried perch, bullheads, sunfish, or whatever else was biting but they weren't breaded. The only breaded stuff I remember was a long drawn out fried chicken process. First she parboiled the chicken then rolled it in flour and fried it. It wasn't one of my favorites. Looking back she had a lot of energy. She was in her 40's when I was born so wasn't a young woman but she put in her 8 hours in the office at Cluett & Peabody, cooked, was in the Home Bureau, the African Violet Society, and Rebekahs and a few other activities. This time of year she would ramp up terrarium production and other Christmas stuff she sold. The terrariums were a good thing. They gave my father and I license to go tromp around the woods as long as the game bag included suitable moss, princess pine, british soldiers, partridge berries and other raw materials. Then there was the rose garden and rock garden in the summer... I had a happy childhood but I wasn't necessarily a top priority in her busy schedule. |

My sister learned to cook in Home EC and kept us going until my father got back from the VA hospital and started doing the cooking. He got serious about it. I was always responsible for at least one, maybe two meals a day on my own and I am still the cook around here 65 years later. |

It is a skill that everyone should at least have a bit of experience with. Some schools now teach Home Ec and Shop to both the boys and girls. In my house whoever was around at supper time cooked, including me when I got old enough. Like me, my father's cooking started with 'peel an onion'. One summer evening when the windows were open my father was starting supper. Returning home from work as my mother started down the driveway she exclaimed 'Jesus Christ Nels, not onions again!' My grandmother was wheelchair bound from the time I was born. I was helping her cook when I was 5 or 6 and I learned some basics. It was enough for me to be able to feed myself when my dad went in the hospital and mom had to go back to work. Dinner was usually what my sister made (high school at the time). A lot of nights it was just them since I already ate. When my father got back he was still on light duty, working half days and doing some work from home, before it was cool, so cooking was suddenly his job. When he got back to full time, he still stayed with it. He was really pretty good. I got used to good food so I learned how to do it. I do think everyone should have some basic cooking skills. It makes picking out a wife, who makes a lot of money, easier ;-) |

Hi Ed, The obesity epidemic is caused by the SAD (Standard American Diet).Â* What you call "junk food", is the stuff that sits unrefrigerated in most pantries. So they would be hitting that stuff, making matter worse. Also realize, that "healthy carbs" is a lie and "healthy carbs" is THE main offenders in SAD. There is no such thing as a healthy carb. I got bamboozled by that "health carb" marketing crap and wound up with T2. All of the health issues caused by SAD will not go away until we return to a "historically appropriate human diet".Â* It does not help that high glycemic carbs are wildly addictive and very hard to kick. I said that in jest but you bring up a good point.Â* Instead of traveling to another store for some good fruit and veggies, some of the people will take the easy way out and buy junk at the dollar store. Pre-packaged carbs with preservatives. You bring up a good point too. I have to make ALL my own food.Â* Once you get in the routine and teach yourself how, it does to take all that much longer than the pre-prepaired stuff. And it tastes a hell of a lot better. I'm reminded of all the salt they put in canned food. I had a friend that said he worked one summer in a Campbell soup factory and had the hardest job there.Â* He was the salter and constantly carrying around bags of salt to add to the soup. I actually was working on a project in a Campbell lab and they were bringing in cases of soup, opening them and puncturing the lids with an ice pick.Â* I asked them what they were doing and they said they were going to take the punctured cans to the dump.Â* Problem with the batch was they forgot to add salt. One can of soup has more than half the salt you are allowed in a day. Frank, There is a lot of fraud out there concerning salt.Â* The S. Koreans eat double the salt we do and have half the heart disease.Â* (Heart disease and SAD go together.) https://drmicozzi.com/the-great-salt-scam-2 And as drug free T2 and a Keto, I use twice as much salt as folks on SAD.Â* It has to do with keytone metabolism. And here is the wonderful thing about salt.Â* Like water, your body will tell you how much it needs.Â* Eat and drink what you want of both. :-) -T May work for most but I have high blood pressure and am cautioned by cardiologists to limit salt. I do know a guy my age that has to take extra salt because of his different problems.Â* Low salt nearly killed him. I have no sugar problems but still use artificial sweeteners and avoid carbs with little fiber. Hi Frank, "Some" folks benefit from low sodium, but most it is the opposite.Â* And the lowering benefit (1%) that some see with lower Na is offset by a higher heart beat. Is Salt Bad for ME??? (Hidden Research) 2019 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lpH06ely7E 7 Signs You Need More Salt (2020) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4b10AhKx7cg Also it is probably not a good idea to use straight sodium chloride.Â* Your kidneys regulate the ratio the "ratio" of sodium and potassium.Â* I believe the number I last heard was 177:1 sodium, to potassium, but I could be off on the ratio. So, if you use straight NaCl, you can wind up with leg cramps, heart issues, etc., even if you get enough potassium.Â*Â* Sea salt is straight NaCl, all the other minerals are removed and sold off.

I question advice and look into it before following. I had a problem with lisinopril causing a persistent cough which turns out to be a common side effect. Besides changing BP med the doc ordered a chest xray which showed a spot. This led to an over 6 month dealing with a pulmonologist with a couple of CT scans and breathing tests to find all was completely clear. I think I am at the end of the curve for salt and avoid large amounts of it. |

Yes it is cheap and common but others I'm taking don't cost any more than lisinopril. Fortunately I am not taking high doses of anything. |

There are some indications that Lisinopril and other ACE inhibitors alone raise the risk of dementia, while ARBS such as Losartan show some ability to reduce the risk of dementia. One study showed a benefit for both an ARB and lisinopril together. |

Then at the doc's suggestion I lost 85 pounds and started exercising. My BP went back to normal. I have kept the weight off and kept up the exerising for the last 30+ years and the BP has stayed down. But perhaps being fat, lazy, and taking pills would have been more enjoyable. Thinking of all the hamburgers and pizza I missed over the years. |

Except for an occasional med like an antibiotic I get all meds by mail. Today there is no copay for most generics but if I were to get them at the local pharmacy which is approved provider they would cost a few dollars. Several years ago the only med I was taking was warfarin and with a deductible to pay off was paying $75 for 3 months at provider. Walmart was $10 so I switched to them and they also did mail order. I also did it later when provider was charging $14 and took three generics to Walmart to save $12 every three months. |
