We are hearing more and more, today, about foods which are deliberately built to make us fat. They are said to be created by corporations who have a basic aim at only one thing ” Making Money. And, Lots Of It! They care not that they are making a direct assault on our health.
As we learn more about the widening obesity epidemic we are seeing much more interest on the part of many parts of the population on returning to a past where home cooking was the norm. Before managed or packaged meals arrived on the scene.
Well, Big Corporate foods have to be packaged and managed and advertised widely because big country-wide corporations cannot not make money if you buy farmers products and cook them yourself. Farmers products can found in the produce section of your super market. Or, even bought in a farmers market if you are lucky enough to be near one. A good farmer’s market should have fresh food which is just hours from the picking.
Lots of folks own cookbooks (which they dont often look at). Most cookbooks do NOT tell you exactly what to look for when you buy raw food. In days past, ladies and gentlemen who were cooks knew exactly how to pick a ripe squash from the bin. (Look at the stem. If is cut do not buy that one — it is green and you will have to wait for it to ripen which could take many days. If the stem has fallen off naturally, then buy it. Its going to be ripe.<—- Free tip from your author, Conrad Blomberg.
In past times, every Mom (or, even Dad) knew which asparagus were best, when an apple was ripe, and why you should smell certain raw foods before you buy. (Cantaloupe should smell like cantaloupe when you buy it. Smell the stem end. If this cantaloupe has no smell or smells like olive oil or medicine or anything else do NOT buy it unless you want to hold it until does smell like a real cantaloupe. When it does it will then be ripe.) <— Tip 2 from Mr B.
If you decide to do some “scratch” cooking, here is what could happen. “Scratch” means you started with “raw” ingredients and use them together to make a home cooked delight.

Here is what one cookbook author who believes in “scratch” or raw cooking says:
“If you are looking for a diet from me you will be disappointed … I have been getting incredible results for 15 years and have not once recommended dieting, counting calories or restricting calories! In fact, I have had many clients EAT MORE FOOD and LOSE MORE WEIGHT than all their years of dieting combined!
Hmm, cooking raw food? Becoming healthier? Having weight loss? Maybe this chef has something, huh?
