"If you are avoiding eggs for ethical reasons, eggs from free-range chickens are not much better than from caged chickens. I have heard that at some factory farms, the poor "free-range" chickens only get to roam out of their cages for as little as five minutes a day! The cholesterol in eggs has also given them an undeservedly bad reputation. Our society is suffering from heart disease because nearly all of the fat we eat, and certainly all of the animal fat we eat, is cooked. Harmful cholesterol accumulations result from fats that have been cooked or are rancid." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"The suggested proportions are as follows: • 40 percent low-density carbohydrates, such as most vegetables and low-glycemic fruits • 25 to 30 percent organic protein, such as free-range meats, chicken, fish, tofu, or omega-3-fortified free-range eggs • 30 to 35 percent monounsaturated fats, including but not limited to olive oil, nuts, tofu, fish, and avocado The most important aspect of this plan is that you combine protein, carbohydrates, and fats according to this general equation in each meal to prevent an excessive insulin release." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"In one experiment he compared the light emitted from free-range eggs to those produced by battery hens. The photons in the eggs produced by the free-range chickens were far more coherent than those in the battery eggs. He went on to use biophoton emissions as a tool for measuring the quality of food. The healthiest food had the lowest and most coherent intensity of light. Any disturbance in the system would increase the production of photons. Health was a state of perfect subatomic communication, and ill health was a state where communication breaks down." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"Then the mechanization of the food industry compounded these dietary changes: canned and frozen produce replaced fresh fruits and vegetables. free-range cattle gave way to feedlots. Fresh, lean meat was replaced by processed and canned meats. Foods such as canned ham—high in salt, saturated fat, and sugar—became popular, and the population explosion increased the demand for these inexpensive, well-preserved, tasty, and convenient foods. The result of these altered lifestyles was an urbanization picture of decreased vitamin D production and increased consumption of wrong foods." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"Meat eaters are advised to eat only organic or "free-range" animals in order to avoid the high concentrations of hormones and pesticides found in animal products in industrialized countries. No recommended dose available. Botanicals There are many herbs that can be used safely during pregnancy. Some herbs are characterized as tonics, others are spices that improve taste and digestion, other herbs contain specific vitamins and minerals that aid different organ systems, and still others can be used as medicines to intervene and treat conditions or illnesses related to the pregnancy." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"Late in the morning, the neighbor boy, 10-year-old Luis, arrived, as he does each day, to help Panchita catch her free-range chickens and put them in the coop. Later, her 31-year-old neighbor, Carmen Gomez, stopped by to help Panchita sweep her floors. "I don't come here because I have to," she told me when I asked. "Panchita has a way of making my day happier. Everyone in Hojancha loves her." At noon, Panchita told me it was time to make lunch." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"If your meats are marbled with fat, you get a whopping dose of saturated fat. Lean free-range top round steak has the lowest amount of saturated fat in the beef category. 5. High in olive oil. According to Greek mythology, the goddess Athena endowed the olive tree with great healing powers. Modern medical science is now showing that she really knew her stuff! So much in fact that in 2004 the Food and Drug Administration permitted food containing olive oil to carry labels saying it may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.) "And try to buy free-range and antibiotic/hormone-free poultry. • Fresh fish tastes best. Avoid farm-raised fish because they contain antibiotics (used to protect them from disease in overcrowded pens), as well as disturbing concentrations of pesticides and mercury. Stay away from the larger deep-sea fish such as swordfish, large tuna, and shark because of high levels of mercury and PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls). If buying canned fish, avoid products packed with vegetable or cottonseed oil. Water or olive oil is preferable." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"All of the food was organic, all the chickens free-range, all of the beef grass-fed, and none of the food was genetically engineered. Take a road trip to Anywhere, U.S.A., and try to find real food today. It is a huge challenge to be in a town, on a highway, or anyplace else in America and find real food to eat.You will have lots of choices for garbage foods: McDonald's, Burger King, KFC,Wendy's, Denny's,Taco Bell, Dunkin' Donuts, and more, but you will be hard put to find a restaurant that will serve you fresh vegetables or fish, or free-range chicken." - Mark Hyman, Ultra-Metabolism: The Simple Plan for Automatic Weight Loss (Get the book.)

"For millions of years, humans evolved on a diet rich in natural omega-3 food sources, including free-range game, fish, marine mammals, nuts, and fresh seaweed. In the early twentieth century, however, food manufacturers in the industrialized nations began literally pouring corn oil—a source of omega-6 fatty acids—into the food chain. This was accompanied by a decline in consumption of fish and wild game and a dramatic increase in the use of grains (another source of omega-6) to feed livestock." - Steven V. Joyal, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Diabetes: An Innovative Program to Prevent, Treat, and Beat This Controllable Disease (Get the book.)

"Eggs are very nutritious provided they are from free-range chickens, are undercooked, soft-boiled, soft-poached or lightly scrambled.) Cheeses: Most should be avoided—especially colored, processed, creamed and fancy cheese spreads. White cheese made from unpasteurized milk is okay. Sugars and sweets: White, brown, refined, all processed sugars, glucose, fructose, et cetera. Candy, chocolate, desserts, gums, artificial sweeteners. (Unpasteurized honey and maple syrup are okay in moderation.) Wheat and wheat products (except the original varieties of spelt and kamut)." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"But I do believe it is best to purchase only free-range animals; otherwise, you are eating an animal that has been treated harshly, like a slave. The animal should also have been fed organic food and be free of antibiotics, steroids and other drugs, for your health as well as for its, however cut short its existence on this earth. If you do not eat organically fed or wild animals, remember you will be eating, by some estimates, ten times the toxic pesticides that you get from a like serving of produce." - Susan E.

"Eat eggs only from organic, vegan-fed, free-range chickens, as these are much healthier. As with meat, the uncooked egg will smell much worse than a cooked one when it is highly infected, contaminated and/or spoiling. Osteopathic physician Joseph Mercola claims from his research that only one in 30,000 commercially produced eggs contains salmonella in high enough quantities to create illness. Check out his web site at www.mercola.com. In The No-Grain Diet, he cites a study by the USDA in 2002 that found that 2.3 million eggs every year are contaminated with salmonella." - Susan E.

"THE NATURAL CHOICE I recommend free-range poultry and grass-fed beef, as their food sources are closest to those found before the advent of modern farming methods, which rely primarily on grain. Grazing animals are likeliest to have the most beneficial ratio of omega-3s to omega-6s, as well as being a great source of plant phytonutrients in their tissues. Likewise, you're better off eating wild-caught than farm-raised fish. BECOME A LEAN, GREEN EATING MACHINE I promised you that you would be able to eat plenty of food and never feel hungry on Diet Evolution." - Dr. Steven R.

"It should come from healthy protein sources such as free-range animals or, ideally, plant-based proteins. However, if there's one case in which I support to consumption of red meat, it's during pregnancy. Yes—I actually do support the consumption of red meat during pregnancy only. The protein density of red meat is very high, and if it is free-range organic beef, it can actually offer significant nutritional benefits to pregnant women, who have specific and very high nutritional demands that are not normally experienced by the rest of the population." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

Stir-fries are light, easy to prepare, and fast to cook. The method lends itself to many different kinds of vegetables and proteins and is also a great way to use cold leftover brown rice. Although traditionally a wok is used to stir-fry, a large skillet (frying pan) is fine too. There are a couple of basic techniques to bear in mind when making a stir-fry: 1. Have all the ingredients you will use already sliced, diced, or shredded." - Frank Lipman, Mollie Doyle, Spent: Revive: Stop Feeling Spent and Feel Great Again (Get the book.) "When buying meats, look for grass-fed meats and free-range poultry. Organic meats and poultry without hormones and antibiotics would be next best; if you can't find them, for meats get lean cuts, and for poultry remove the skin because toxins are stored in the fat. 11. Limit fish with a high mercury content (see page 171), and remember that ocean-caught fish are generally better than farm-raised fish, which are usually laden with PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls). PCBs have been linked to reproductive problems, cancer, and immune and endocrine system disorders, among other issues. 12." - Frank Lipman, Mollie Doyle, Spent: Revive: Stop Feeling Spent and Feel Great Again (Get the book.)

"Whenever possible, use grass-fed beef, free-range chicken, and wild-caught fish and shellfish. Don't be fooled by organic labels.

"The decline of the free-range child Until recently, children did not have to rely on organised games and activities for their physical, emotional and social development. As they reached school age there was another way they grew in physical strength and learned about themselves and how to relate to others. It was called 'going out to play'. Nowadays, our generalised adult anxiety has created a culture in which children's freedom to roam, whether to the park for an informal kick-about or just for a general mooch around with friends, has been greatly curtailed." - Sue Palmer, Toxic Childhood: How the Modern World is Damaging Our Children and What We Can Do About it (Get the book.)
