Wednesday Sept. 13 Potluck emphasizes Native American Food
Gardens and Cooking
Reference: Rosalind
Creasy, Cooking from the Garden, “Native
American Gardens.” Pp. 60-83.
Here are my miscellaneous notes from the chapter.
It begins with a full color photo of “Hopi Blue” corn with this
caption: “the most famous of the colored corn varieties. It is easy to grind and makes flavorful
cornbreads and tortillas.”
Apparently corn was universal from NE to SW, with many varieties
and cooking methods.See pp. 70-72, 76-77 and 78- for recipes: Fresh Corn
Pudding, Succotash, Johnny Cakes, etc.
Hominy, Tortillas….and Popcorn!
Just throw the kernels in your evening fire’s embers.
But beans (74) and squash (78, and a recipe 81) equally common
with variations.
And then Sunchoke (73) and peppers (73).
A main idea: NA foods
offered great variety, in contrast to our industrialized near-uniformity.

Cookbook VEGAN ON THE CHEAP thanks to Ruth
Francis
The “Vegetable Lentil Stew” last week and contained many healthy veggies
and the preparation was enjoyable. I intend to try that cookbook again soon
with “Sweet Potato Succotash Stew”, and “Three Spicy Sisters Stew.”
THE NEWSPAPER
Have rumors of errors in recipes in newspapers scared you off? But I found no problems with a simple but delicious vegetable soup found in the NADG. Its particular strength derived from the generous use of fresh basil and substantial simmering. Pomodoro Salad was simple and easy and wonderfully rich with fresh seasonings: tomatoes, onion, garlic, fresh parsley, fresh basil, fresh thyme, olive oil (I added a little lemon). All the ingredients are ready for Vegetable Jambalaya tomorrow: onion, bell pepper, garlic, rice, veg. broth, corn, Worcestershire sauce, red pepper, black-eyed peas, and stewed tomatoes. I assume various Native Americans, depending on time, place, and nation, would have cooked with all of these vegetables. –Dick

How industrial farming techniques can
breed superbugs
August 9, 2017 at 6:35
PM EDT
As high-density,
industrial-scale livestock farms have become fertile breeding grounds for disease,
they’ve also become a major source of drug-resistant superbugs. Science
correspondent Miles O’Brien and economics correspondent Paul Solman team up to
report on how scientists are studying how superbugs can get into the food
supply.
·
RELATED
JUDY WOODRUFF: But first: our special series Stopping Superbugs.
This
week science correspondent, Miles O’Brien and economics correspondent Paul
Solman tag-team again for a look at how the use of antibiotics in livestock can
lead to unhealthy, even dangerous outcomes. . . . www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/industrial-farming-techniques-can-breed-superbugs/
RELATED LINKS
MILES O’BRIEN: Russ Kremer is obsessed with keeping his pigs healthy,
because he knows firsthand that his own health depends on it.
RUSS KREMER: That’s
about as good as it’s going to get.
MILES O’BRIEN: Thirty years ago, the farmer from Frankenstein created a
monster after he adopted industrial farming techniques to increase his pig
production.
RUSS KREMER: My
pigs were unhealthy. I would go through my pigpens three times a day, injecting
them with antibiotics to cure some sort of chronic diseases that I had on my
place.
And,
in fact, I was actually growing superbugs in this farm and didn’t know it.
MILES O’BRIEN: How he found out nearly killed him. He was gored in the
leg by a boar, and the wound became infected. His doctor told him not to worry,
antibiotics were the cure. But it wasn’t that simple.
RUSS KREMER: We
tried two different tetracyclines. We tried streptomycin. We tried
erythromycin, amoxicillin, seven different antibiotics in total, to no avail.
MILES O’BRIEN: So he checked the reports from his veterinarian to see
what infections his pigs had and what antibiotics worked for them.
RUSS KREMER: It
came back, resistant, resistant, resistant, resistant. And finally, aha, there
was one antibiotic at that time that had some effect on that disease. They
treated me, and thank God there were this new-generation drug. And so that
transformed my life.
MILES O’BRIEN: Molecular microbiologist Lance Price also grew up on a
farm, a cattle ranch. He watched firsthand as a neighboring dairy went from a
small-scale family operation to a high-density, industrial-scale farm.
They
are called concentrated animal feeding operations. Lance Price says they are
fertile breeding grounds for disease.
LANCE PRICE,
George Washington University: You pack them together, snout to tail in the case
of pigs, and beak to feather in the case of chickens and turkeys, they’re going
to share bacteria.
So
we have engineered a system that makes them sick. Rather than change that
system, we actually just add low doses of antibiotics to try to prevent
infections.
MILES O’BRIEN: Price and his team at George Washington University conduct
large epidemiological studies of meat that is sold in grocery stores. They
culture the bacteria found on the meat and test to see how they react to disks
saturated with antibiotics. He is hunting for superbugs.
LANCE PRICE: If
they’re susceptible, that is, not resistant, to the antibiotic, they will be
inhibited. They won’t grow near the disk. But when they grow right up to the
disk, like all of these, that means that that bacteria is resistant to all
those antibiotics. You don’t want to get infected with one of these.
And
these are bacteria that we actually isolated from the food supply.
MILES O’BRIEN: He sequences the genomes of E. coli from food and from
people, comparing them to a database of 7,000 distinct types of the bacteria.
LANCE PRICE: We’re
trying to figure out, hey, did this urinary tract infection come from the E.
coli from animals or from food?
MILES O’BRIEN: He says there is a strong case linking the use of
antibiotics in livestock to the spread of drug-resistant bacteria in humans.
LANCE PRICE: So,
on every grocery store shelf in this country, I guarantee you you’re going to
find drug-resistant bacteria on the meats of those shelves. And then they get
in our guts when we consume the meat from those animals.
Most
of the time, that’s a dead end, right? We will eventually get rid of those
bacteria. We will shed them away. But, sometimes, they will take hold.
MILES O’BRIEN: In the 1950s, farmers discovered feeding livestock steady,
low doses of antibiotics made them grow faster. But this so-called
subtherapeutic use of these precious drugs raised concern in the medical
community and the government.
In
1977, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration proposed a ban on subtherapeutic
uses of penicillin and tetracycline in animal production. But the rule was
never enacted. And the problem worsened.
In
1989, human and livestock usage of antibiotics was about equal. Today,
agriculture accounts for about three-quarters of all the antibiotics used in
the United States.
MAE WU, Natural Resources
Defense Council: We have to stop now. We have to stop abusing them now, so that
we can slow this problem down. . . .

Big Farms Make Big Flu:
Dispatches on Infectious Disease, Agribusiness, and the Nature of Science by
Thanks to
breakthroughs in production and food science, agribusiness has been able to
devise new ways to grow more food and get it more places more quickly. There is
no shortage of news items on the hundreds of thousands of hybrid poultry each
animal genetically identical to the next packed together in megabarns, grown
out in a matter of months, then slaughtered, processed, and shipped to the
other side of the globe. Less well known are the deadly pathogens mutating in, and emerging out of, these
specialized agro-environments. In fact, many of the most dangerous new diseases
in humans can be traced back to such food systems, among them Campylobacter, Nipah virus, Q
fever, hepatitis E, and a variety of novel influenza variants.
In Big
Farms Make Big Flu,
a collection of dispatches by turns harrowing and thought-provoking, Rob
Wallace tracks the ways influenza and other pathogens emerge from an agriculture
controlled by multinational corporations. With a precise and radical wit, Wallace juxtaposes ghastly
phenomena such as attempts at producing featherless chickens with microbial
time travel and neoliberal Ebola. Wallace also offers sensible alternatives to
lethal agribusiness. Some, such as farming cooperatives, integrated pathogen
management, and mixed crop-livestock systems, are already in practice off the
agribusiness grid.
While many
books cover facets of food or outbreaks, Wallaces collection is the first to
explore infectious disease, agriculture, economics, and the nature of science
together. Big Farms Make Big Flu integrates
the political economies of disease and science into a new understanding of
infections. MORE https://monthlyreview.org/product/big_farms_make_big_flu/

Do Unto Animals: A Friendly Guide to How Animals Live, and How We Can Make Their Lives
Better. By Tracey
Stewart. Illustrated by Lisel
Ashlock. Artisan, 2015. #1 New York Times bestseller
and USA Today bestseller
The more we know about the animals in our world and the better we care for them, the better our lives will be. Former veterinary technician and animal advocate Tracey Stewart understands this better than most—and she’s on a mission to change how we interact with animals. Through hundreds of charming illustrations, a few homemade projects, and her humorous, knowledgeable voice, Stewart provides insight into the secret lives of animals and the kindest ways to live with and alongside them. At home, she shows readers how to speak “dog-ese” and “cat-ese” and how to “virtually adopt” an animal. In the backyard, we learn about building bee houses, dealing nicely with pesky moles, and creative ways to bird-watch. And on the farm, Stewart teaches us what we can do to help all farm animals lead a better life (and reveals pigs’ superpowers!). Part practical guide, part memoir of her life with animals, and part testament to the power of giving back, Do Unto Animals is a gift for animal lovers of all stripes. [But is being friendly to sentient creatures awaiting their death sentence kindness?–D]

Meeting Paris Goals
Means Dealing With Climate Impacts of Eating Meat By Ashley Braun
Environmental
groups place a lot of attention on
trying to stop new oil, gas and coal development since current fossil fuel projects would
likely already blow us past the less-than 2°C upper limit for warming laid out
in the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement.
In fact, there's a whole movement, known as "Keep
It in the Ground," predicated on this idea.
But when faced with a
resurgence of support for fossil fuels from the White House, perhaps just as
important is talking about how to "Keep It in the Cow," according to
some reports. Right now, experts predict agriculture is
set to eat up half the greenhouse gas emissions the world can release by 2050
and still stay below 2°C (3.6°F) of warming.
That is, unless the world takes a big bite
out of its meat consumption, especially from cattle and other
livestock that chew their cud, say researchers at Chalmers University of
Technology in Sweden. Raising these ruminants produces a lot of methane,
a much more potent but shorter-lived greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. MORE

everything Rachel
writes here is correct but....
if her announcement
that Gore has chosen to begin eating a plant based diet, he is at least taking
himself seriously enough to walk his talk. That puts him into a group that is
voluntarily "inconveniencing" themselves if they lack a better
understanding, right?
at least the lights
are on AND somebody is home, quite the contrary of the vast majority of our
selected global leaders

Al Gore's 'An
Inconvenient Sequel' Conveniently Leaves Out This One Big Truth
By Rachel Krantz
At the end of An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth To Power,
the audience is asked to take the pledge to #BeInconvenient—to keep demanding schools,
businesses and towns invest in clean, renewable energy.
"If President Trump refuses to lead,
Americans will," the call to action reads, encouraging viewers who want to
fight climate change to use "your choice,
your voice, your vote."
Feel-good cheers in
the audience abounded, but in my seat, I was seething over the truth that was
conveniently omitted from the new sequel to An Inconvenient Truth:
that the most significant thing we as ordinary individuals can do every day
to fight climate change is
to adopt a plant-based diet. Al
Gore himself went vegan in 2014, but
aside from a split-second where he mentions that "agriculture is another
major cause" of CO2 emissions, the subject is entirely left out of the
film.
And that's disgraceful.
You want me to
#BeInconvenient? OK, here are some facts: According to the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), the livestock sector is one of the largest sources of
carbon dioxide pollution, and the single largest source of both methane and nitrous oxide. According to
the World Bank, animal
agriculture is responsible for nearly 90 percent of Amazon rainforest
destruction. The rainforest is our planet's lungs, and we are destroying it
simply to make enough space to kill more animals. More than 80,000 acres of
tropical rainforest—and 135 animal, plant and insect species—are lost due to this destruction each
day.
If that kind of
devastation is too massive to comprehend, consider these more convenient
truths: If every American committed to just one Meatless Monday a
week, it would be the environmental equivalent of all of the cars on the road
switching from sedans to hybrids. The link is so significant that according
to research published in
the journal Climate Change, if you
adopt a plant-based diet, you'll cut your carbon footprint in
half.
Yet the bulk of An Inconvenient Sequel focuses on former
Vice President Al Gore's quest to save the world, and the behind-the-scenes
drama at the Paris climate accords.
While it's inspiring to watch Gore help convince India's leaders to use
more solar energy, far too much of the
documentary is devoted to spotlighting him as a leader rather than informing
viewers about the many concrete actions they can take to limit their own carbon
footprints.
Telling viewers to
fight back simply by taking the hashtag pledge to #BeInconvenient and
ambiguously "vote with their choices" is a cop-out. What about the
very concrete choice we can all start making today to leave
animal products off our plates? Perhaps the filmmakers thought
mainstream American viewers couldn't handle that message. After all, when we're
still trying to get parts of the country and politicians to admit climate change is real, the bar is
awfully low when it comes to confronting reality—even transportation's impact on
the climate went unmentioned in the film.
But Gore is right when
we he argues that we don't have any time to waste. If sea levels continue to rise at current
pace, scientists estimate that New Orleans and Miami will
be underwater by the end of the century. Due to our warming oceans, weather
events are becoming more and more extreme—as Gore says, "every night on
the evening news is like a walk through the Book of Revelations." Lobbying
for solar power alone isn't going to cut it.
So yes, by all means,
#BeInconvenient. Demand alternative energy reforms, vote in every election, and
consider making the ultimate environmental statement by leaving animals off
your plate—if not for their sake and your health, then for humanity. Because
here's one of the most uncomfortable truths: We talk about climate change as if
Earth's destruction hangs in the balance. But the truth is, the planet will
persevere. It is mankind—and the many species we should be stewards of—that may
not.
Rachel Krantz is lead writer for Mercy
For Animals and host of the podcast Honestly Though
Meat the Truth is a high-profile documentary, presented by
Marianne Thieme (leader of the Party for the Animals), which forms an addendum
to earlier films that have been made about climate change. Although such films
have convincingly succeeded in drawing public attention to the issue of global
warming, they have repeatedly ignored one of the most important causes of
climate change, namely: intensive livestock production. Meat the Truth has
drawn attention to this by demonstrating that livestock farming generates more
greenhouse gas emissions worldwide than all cars, lorries, trains, boats and
planes added together.
The Nicolaas G. Pierson Foundation chose to
compile the best scientific information on climate change and livestock
farming, which is presently available and to translate this for a broader
audience. The film was produced by Claudine Everaert and Gertjan Zwanikken. The
calculations on greenhouse gas emissions used in the film derive from and have
been validated by the Food and Agricultural Organisation of the UN (FAO), the
World Watch Institute, the Institute for Environmental Studies of the Free
University Amsterdam and numerous other authoritative sources.
Well-known Dutch celebrities, such as Anthonie
Kamerling, Georgina Verbaan, Henk Schiffmacher, Yvonne Kroonenberg, Karen van
Holst Pellekaan, Wim.T.Schippers and Dolf Jansen, participated in the making of
the Dutch version of this documentary, which has already been deemed better
than Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth by the science editors of
the quality Dutch daily newspaper, the NRC Handelsblad.
In the meantime, the
Nicolaas G. Pierson Foundation has also produced an international version of Meat the Truth. This English language
film is better tailored to an international public and uses calculations on the
carbon savings that may be achieved by reducing one’s meat consumption based on
American, rather than Dutch, examples.
Many well-known celebrities, such as Pamela
Anderson, Bill Maher, James Cromwell, Emily Deschanel, Tony Denison, Esai
Morales, Megan Blake, Debra Wilson Skelton, Elaine Hendrix, Kate Flannery,
Carol Leifer, Joy Lauren, Hal Sparks, Constance Marie, Kristina Klebe,
Skyler Gisondo, Graham Patrick Martin, Greg Vaughan and Touriya Haoud Vaughan,
participated in the making of the international version of the film.
With this documentary, the Nicolaas G. Pierson
Foundation hopes to make a contribution to the societal discussion about a more
plant-based and thus also more animal-friendly diet and society. Moreover, the
Foundation also anticipates that the film will provide a showcase for prominent
scientific reports about livestock farming and climate change, which
unfortunately have thus far proved inaccessible to the general public.
The world premiere
of Meat the Truth was held on 10th December 2007 in the
Tuschinski cinema in Amsterdam. The international version of the film
premiered at London’s Odeon West End Cinema in Leicester Square on
19th May 2008 and has since also had its premiere screening in the USA at
the Egyptian Theatre, Hollywood, LA during the Activist Film Festival on
3rd October 2008.
The international version of the film is now
available for purchase on DVD via Amazon.com. Click here to order your
