*Based on what I have recently
learned (over the past 6mo or so) regarding grain consumption within
modern day factory or industrial farming societies, and its adverse
effects on human health ultimately leading to many of the illnesses and
diseases affecting Americans in epic proportions, I have changed my
stance on the importance of such monocrops (grains and legumes) within a
healthy human diet. The human digestive system was not designed nor
has it evolved to a point to effectively digest such foods like grains
and legumes without the body suffering from its harmful side effects;
inflammation and damage to the gut. Since evidence shows inefficient
digestion and inflammation are the root cause for nearly all human
diseases be it heart disease, diabetes, cancer, crohn's disease,
autoimmune diseases, and chronic inflammatory disorders in all its
forms, a healthy diet should promote a healthy gut (fermented foods) and
be anti-inflammatory based (grass-fed meats and eggs, wild caught
fish, fresh organic fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds)
instead of high in foods promoting inflammation such as grains, legumes, and factory farmed meats, poultry, fish, and eggs.
Here's a healthy side dish that's both soy and dairy free!
It takes about thirty minutes to cook up and is a great alternative to any of the popular processed premixed side dishes; simply season to taste.
- Organic Hulled Millet (about 3/4 of a cup)
- Organic onion (1/4 onion chopped)
- Organic peas (about 1/2 to 3/4 of a can)
