Place pumpkin cubes in large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to gentle boil and continue to boil until soft (about 40 minutes). Drain well and run through food mill. Return pumpkin to saucepan and cook over medium-high heat until liquid is nearly evaporated (about 25 minutes). Drain and rinse canned chickpeas. Transfer chickpeas and pumpkin to food processor and process until smooth (add olive oil in small increments if needed). Transfer to medium-size bowl. Stir tahini into pumpkin-chickpea mixture, followed by garlic, lemon juice, parsley, and cumin. Season with salt and pepper. Top with toasted pumpkin seeds. Serve with Arabic flatbreads. Serves: 6.

Some even call it “Satan’s molecule” as it has been shown to cause cancers. Anyone can easily be exposed through eating something that’s been contaminated with it, and unfortunately, most produce in the market. The worst part of it all is that Monsanto has reportedly known it since 1981, but it never published the negative findings. Why is that? Well, because that will lead to the end of their profit. A lot of studies have opened the eyes of people, which made them take action about it. And now, farm workers sue Monsanto over cancer, just a week after Chuck Norris called out the company for the same issue. More details is written by L.J. Devon on Natural News: US farm workers sue Monsanto over cancer likely caused by Roundup herbicide(NaturalNews) Monolithic science experiments are frequently being carried out on humans and the environment through the use of agro-chemicals and genetically modified seeds. Every time a new agro-chemical is invented, stronger than the one before it, the hypothesis remains the same — these agricultural experiments are safe and pose no threat to the health of mankind or the environment. As proven by the numerous lawsuits filed against corporations like Monsanto, however, the dangers are apparent and real. Read more… Farm workers sue Monsanto over cancer, but did you know that this chemical is not only found in Roundup, but also in 85 percent of tampons. It has also been shown to cause autism, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, depression, obesity, food allergies, cardiovascular diseases, infertility, multiple sclerosis, and gastrointestinal diseases like inflammatory bowel disease, chronic diarrhea, colitis and Crohn’s disease. Foods with “natural” labels are not always 100% natural and organic, so don’t be fooled. Again, the only effective way to avoid glyphosate is to buy produce that’s “100% organic” or has the “Non-GMO project” seal.

This stew has a more Mediterranean vibe; a far cry from the Southwestern flavors of the original. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2015/10/29/recipe-pork-poblano-and-pumpkin-stew-5-festive-pumpkin-recipes-from-nealey-dozier/ So maybe you procrastinated because you didn’t think you wanted to do Halloween this year, or maybe you just plain forgot that the holiday was this weekend. Whatever the case may be, it’s still not too late to get a fun food-themed disguise to wear to that costume party, but you’d better get clicking. Of course, these costumes won’t be the most original options, but you can always make a few tweaks to make them feel more of the moment. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2015/10/29/7-halloween-costumes-for-food-lovers-yes-with-overnight-shipping-halloween-ideas/ |
