Grains grains grains everywhere and none fit to eat!!

Well, we have successfully moved and settled in.  we love the new house!.  very cozy and inviting, so all our friends have said.  So lets settle down and have some fun cooking, learning and applying.  Have you ever thought about all the things grains go through BEFORE you eat them?  Way back when, when people actually harvested the grain, they kept the good stuff and the chaff was "blown into the wind".  Well today they take all the good stuff out and then put synthetic (chemicals) in.  and then they bleach it.  so we are eating bleach as well.  After that, they put it all in graineries or silos or holding tanks and it sits...and sits... and sits... grows mold, fungus... and one cannot say, that it is rodent or bug free!  Not to mention that is it GMO grown and tons of poisions from the roundup gene that has been engineered into it.( and that is another subject). Then it gets put on trains, ect., to the milling or processing factories. It eventually goes to the stores, or maybe warehouses, and sits. and sits and sits... till it is sent to a store, where you buy it and consume it. 
With all that in mind, the CDC's statistics on the rise of allergies and asthma and digestive issues, not to mention the rise of sales for digestive products  is alarming!!!.  That is why there is a HUGE  move to ditching grains and enjoying the nutrient, satisfying, scrumptious delights of almond and coconut flour based foods.  Dr. Mercola is a wonderful, trusting site to find out more info about gmo's, grains, and health issues.  http://www.mercola.com/   You can also sign up for his free news letter.
