Dear ,
 
Have you ever wondered about the Basic Four Food Groups and the Food Guide Pyramid that the government pushes?  Claudine Benson, who teaches food classes in Nebo School District in Utah, taught and tried to eat according to the guidelines, but was always sick!  Find out what she decided to do in order to take control of her health.
 
Claudine also submitted the recipe for the week, Watermelon Tomato Gazpacho, that Fawn Christopher recommends highly!
 
Be happy & healthy-

ARTICLE: Healthy Eating by Claudine Benson
 
I am a homemaking teacher teaching food classes.  I always taught the Basic Four and now the Food Pyramid.  I tried to eat the way I taught, but I was always ill.
 
I read the report on food that the former surgeon general distributed to everyone.  I found he was giving information that was much different from the information I had been given. Therefore, I read his sources.  I have been continuing to read in the natural food area since that time.
 
I am trying to eat fresh fruits, fresh veggies, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds.  I am trying to eat raw as much as I can.  I find my body craves the raw food.
 
Since eating this way, I haven't been to the doctor for health reasons for quite a few years.  I am seventy-two, and I feel I am doing great.  It also helps to know how to take care of myself because of taking the herb courses from Fawn and David.  I have really appreciated this life-saving information.
 

 
RECIPE: Watermelon Tomato Gazpacho
 
Note: This recipe comes HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by Fawn Christopher
 
Contributed by Claudine Benson
Adapted from Raw Food / Real World
Serves 4
 
Ingredients:
 
· 3 cups seeded watermelon plus 1 cup seeded watermelon, diced small (keep separate)
· 1 cup seeded tomato, diced small (about 2 tomatoes)
· 1 cup cucumber, peeled, seeded & diced
· 1/2 cup red/green bell pepper, diced
· 1 green onion (white plus 1" green), minced
· 1 t Fresh ginger, sliced & minced
· 1/2 T fresh lime juice
· 1 t sea salt (or Real Salt)
· Freshly ground black pepper
 
Directions
 
1. Puree 3 cups of seeded watermelon
2. Combine all ingredients
3. Stir to combine.  Chill. 
4. Ladle into chilled soup bowls & serve.
 
Note:  While seedless watermelons are much easier to handle, they are highly hybridized (the same goes for seedless grapes and citrus), which changes both texture & flavor.  Hybrid plants are generally inferior to original wild plants, with less minerals and a lower life force.  So for raw food purposes, they are an inferior product.
