Health and Coffee

Healthy food choices have changed over the years. What type of food consumed in the old days and how they are preserved. Healthy food choices are not as nutritous now with all these bad decisions.
While walking through the grocery store, I see the rows of canned foods, ready to cook, put in the microwave or place in oven. Or, you could walk to the grocery store and pick up my food, ready to devour. Now in my early days, things were different.
Our family lived on a farm. We talked, and grew most of our food. A typical meal consists of the main roast chicken, potatoes and gravy, corn, fruit salad, bread, butter, jam, apple pie, milk, or Postojna coffee.We planted a garden in spring, and ate the vegetables, because they were mature. Our gardens consist of potatoes, peas, beans, radishes, lettuce, onoins, cucumbers, tomatoes, corn, pumpkin, kohlrabi e. Canning and freezing was to keep the vegetables to eat in winter. Calculator 500 tins of canned foods on the shelves at the same time our basement. This is only a few canned goods, we also had a supply frozen.
They evoke a big bowl of bright red strawberries served with sugar and cream. With what I ate the bread and butter. Raspberries also served with sugar and cream. Our mother had a strawberry field near the gravel road. It has huge bowls of fruit to neighbors who travel by road. We had apple trees, so it did and apple pies. We have planted watermelons, Cantelope, and pumpkins in the garden. Watermelon and cantaloupe are popular in summer. A huge row of rhubarb grown in the garden because, to his place every year. It is eaten as a sauce, also canned or frozen for future use. Pumpkin pie is used for desserts. In season, it was wild grapes of the vine treesand made grape jelly. Elderberry has made progress in some areas, more so the pie filling.
Chickens, ducks and geese had been placed in a separate building on the farm. The eggs were used many of our dishes and baked goods. Duck and goose eggs were "setting hens", and hatched from the eggs. Once grown, harvested ducks and geese in the freezer and put our food supply. The chickens were collected and frozen.
Our dairy farming has provided us with the milk and cream. The pigs were raised for beef cattle, and these were collected and cut into lengths to make a freezer of meat
Flour and necessary equipment was purchased. We sold the eggs anyway, so this money is used for baking supplies and staples for the home. We bread, rolls, coffee cakes, rolls, biscuits, cakes, bars, or whatever you want. It was a job, but the pure joy of eating holidays are raised in is different. One particularly attractive was the nuts. These were purchased in bulk crust. So, we broke the cover of many of the pleasures of eating.
Before the water was taken to the house, he was transported by bucket system central well. This was our drinking water. A water tank for washing was generally close to home.
"From scratch" means putting together the ingredients for a meal. I thought then, this was the way things everywhere. Another big difference, then this is what we ate was on the table and put before us. There was no appeal, "I do not like this:" Now, when everything seems to be the speed "fast", we must be grateful to be able to choose food for our table.
