Like many, I often started my day with a hot cup of strong coffee. The heat warmed me up and the caffeine jerked me awake. Good morning world!
Michael Olson Food Chain Radio = Nourishing Tradition: Bone Building Broth
This morning coffee habit began in high school, and continued without interruption until a few years ago, when I was introduced to bone broth by the folks at the Weston A. Price Foundation.
The Foundation caught my attention by boldly standing atop a soapbox in the public square and stating the dietary heresy, “Fat is good!” This statement directly contradicted the dominant dietary truth of the time, as put forth by the American Heart Association, that “Fat is bad!”
The Foundation furthered their dietary heresy by also claiming that modern foods are nutritionally “poor,” while the foods of traditional diets were “rich.” And furthermore, one of the things that made traditional foods rich was that all traditional diets included that which modern diets exclude – bones.
And so today I prefer to start my day with a hot cup of rich bone broth. The heat warms me up and the nutrition awakens my body. Then, after the bone broth has set up my day, I go for that cup of coffee.
What I have found in bone broth, and the other foods of nourishing traditions, leads me to ask:
Leave a comment: Should we look to ancient diets to cure our breaking bones?

#2 The farther we go from the source of our food, the less control we have over what’s in that food.
#3 Cheap food isn’t! READ MORE
