Emergency Preparedness – If You Can’t Eat Bread, You Might Try Cake
 

   “If you have a high roughage diet and no problems with gluten (wheat protein), your intestinal tract is buff and tough,” said the nutritionist.  “Modern refined food diets diminish basic digestive capabilities and addict people to additives as simple as common sugar.  A spoonful of sugar may make the medicine go down, but think what the sugar has already done to denigrate a diet and desire for good, wholesome foods.”
     Texture is a very important part of an efficient diet.  There is a reason for roughage and some think that course food is the answer.  Whole wheat, when ground to pastry flour fineness, still has its roughage.  So, if you aren’t up to whole grain bread because you don’t like the texture, try angel food cake.  Just make sure you grind to pastry flour fineness and use a recipe designed for fresh ground flour that has everything nature intended in it.  We’re talking good food here, and you’ll be a regular person for eating it.

Emergency Preparedness – Good Foods Sustain Good Health

   It’s true – good foods can act like medicine, boosting your immune system and reducing cancer, heart disease, and other ailments.  Individual foods are complex packages of chemicals and compounds, but unlike pharmaceutical drugs, don’t deliver a concentrated punch to knock out a specific malady.

   Popular refined and processed foods may have little nutrition of what we expect.  Granola bars have fewer nutrients and nearly as much sugar as Pop Tarts.  1/3^rd cup of banana chips has as much fat as a Big Mac.  A slice of multigrain bread has more calories and the same fiber as two chocolate chip cookies.

   What are the dependable good foods with the most medicinal value?  Apples, asparagus, avocado, banana, barley, beans, bell peppers, blueberries, broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, celery, chili pepper, cinnamon, clove, collard greens, corn, cranberries, dates, eggplant, fish, garlic, ginger, grapefruit, grapes, kale, melons, mushroom, mustard, nuts, oats, olive oil, onion, orange, parsley, plums, potatoes, pumpkin, raspberries, rice, soybeans, spinach, strawberries, sweet potato, teas, tomato, watermelon, wheat, yogurt, . . . . . I didn’t say you would like them all.  But, I certainly feel better now about my chocolate chip cookies.

Emergency Preparedness – Unimix and Atmit.
 

   The LDS Church’s food relief effort in African and East Asian nations had an abysmal start when wheat was identified as “too high test” a food to save near starving souls in metabolic distress.  “Malnourished little children and the elderly cannot digest whole grains and foods made with course flour.  To recover, their stressed and tender digestive systems require frequent feedings of easily digestible food in small amounts,” said a Welfare Services report.   (Google Search:  ATMIT, www.lds.org/newsroom) 
   Unimix and Atmit, products made of mild grain flours (oats, corn, milo, etc), powdered milk, sweetener, cooking oil, salt, and boiling water, provide the “nourishing porridge” to save the most vulnerable.  Church-member volunteers are saving millions of lives with Atmit they produce at Welfare Square. 
    “All grains are ordained for the use of man and beast to be the staff of life.”    Remember special needs family members and store foods that are useful and digestible.  Anybody can eat mild grains, whether in soupy porridge or mush.  If it’s too soupy, reduce the water.  Gerber cereals feed infants, but not with wheat. Remember also that it’s easy to cook grains in, and serve them from a wide mouth Thermos bottle.
