Hello Fellow Campers,
We made it to March…and like they say, in
like a Lion out like a lamb. We hope….It’s
been a rough winter but that is behind us
now. Time to look forward to campfires, Hotdogs,
pie iron sandwiches and fresh brewed coffee
on a early morning walk…
Well we have something new to our site...
Facebook. I am not one that is a daily Facebook
user but to the people I have talked to this
is something they enjoy. Sarah, our internet
sales coordinator is putting together Facebook
stuff. Specials…monthly and weekly, and closeout
items. So get signed up as a friend and don’t
miss out on our Specials.
This time of the year we always get health minded and wanting to loss those extra pounds over the holidays. Well here is something I picked up for the health side of it.
Pass The Butter... Please.
This is interesting...
Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys. When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back.
It was a white substance with no food appeal
so they added the yellow colouring and sold
it to people to use in place of butter. How
do you like it? They have come out with some
clever new flavourings....
DO YOU KNOW.. The difference between margarine
and butter?
Read on to the end...gets very interesting!
Both have the same amount of calories.
Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats
at 8 grams; compared to 5 grams for margarine.
Eating margarine can increase heart disease
in women by 53% over eating the same amount
of butter, according to a recent Harvard
Medical Study.
Eating butter increases the absorption of
many other nutrients in other foods.
Butter has many nutritional benefits where
margarine has a few and only because they
are added!
And now, for Margarine...
- Very High in Trans fatty acids.
- Triples risk of coronary heart disease ...
- Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol) and lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol)
- Increases the risk of cancers up to five times..
- Lowers quality of breast milk.
- Decreases immune response.
- Decreases insulin response.
And here's the most disturbing fact.... HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING!
Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC... and shares 27 ingredients withPAINT
These facts alone were enough to have me avoiding margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of the substance).
You can try this yourself:
Purchase a tub of margarine and leave it open in your garage or shaded area. Within a couple of days you will notice a couple of things:
* no flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it (that should tell you something)
* it does not rot or smell differently because it has nonutritional value ; nothing will grow on it. Even those teeny weeny microorganisms will not a find a home to grow. Why? Because it is nearly plastic . Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast?
Share This With Your Friends.....(If you want to butter them up')!
And on the Funny side of life
Two sisters, one blonde and one brunette, inherit the family ranch. Unfortunately, after just a few years, they are in financial trouble. In order to keep the bank from repossessing the ranch, they need to purchase a bull from the stockyard in the next town, so that they can stop paying breeding fees and breed their own stock. But they only have $600 to work with. So, the brunette tells her sister, 'When I get there, if I decide to buy the bull, I'll contact you to drive out and haul it home.' The brunette arrives at the stockyard, inspects the bull, and decides she wants to buy it. The man tells her that he will sell it for $599.00 no less. She agrees and pays him, then drives to the nearest telegraph office to tell her sister the good news. She walks into the telegraph office, and says, 'I want to send a telegram to my sister telling her that I've bought a bull for our ranch. I need her to hitch the trailer to our pickup truck, and drive here so we can haul it home.' The telegraph operator explains that he'll be glad to help her, then adds, 'It's just 99 cents a word.' Well, after paying for the bull, the brunette only has $1 left. She realizes that she'll only be able to send her sister one word. After a few minutes of thinking, she nods and says, 'I want you to send her the word 'comfortable'.' The operator looks at her and shakes his head.. 'How is she ever goin' to know that you want her to hitch the trailer to your pickup truck, and drive out here to haul that bull back to your ranch, if you only send her just the one word, 'comfortable'?' So the brunette explains, 'My sister is a blonde That word is big. She'll read it very slowly........ com-for-da-bull'.
