Monsanto is completely evil and will soon dominate the world with their evil - they own a good part of us already - the EU has been much better about withstanding them than the US where we have bowed to them time and time again - it's disgraceful and horrifying. Here is a very long youtube video about them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VEZYQF9WlE.<br />SherSherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11221828661770609207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689146737711190616.post-85483237822323849022014-01-17T13:55:39.860-08:002014-01-17T13:55:39.860-08:00That looks so healthy and nutritious.

I always have mine with a drizzle of good quality honey, a sprinkle of cinnamon and chopped banana.Oh and definitely made with milk! It's so nice to have on these cold winter mornings. <br />I just watched a documentary on Netflix called Food Inc, it's all about Monsanto and the fast food industry and how they are using high fructose corn syrup in a lot of their foods. It's poisonous to the body, and yet the U.S Govt aren't doing a thing about it. It also goes in depth on how the cattle and poultry there are treated. Not very pleasant to witness - I tell you NO more McD's for us!<br />We have thrown away a lot of things from the fridge and cupboards as a result.<br />Another very interesting must-see is a documentary on Youtube called 'Sugar: the bitter truth.' You should really watch this Sher especially if you are trying to cut down on your sugar intake. Many of us are becoming sick because of our addiction to sugar - now it's a global problem. Obviously the food corporations don't want us to know about it, and 'hide' sugar even in what we think are healthy foods. It certainly does pay to read the labels!Amjaylouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06057211502913167249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689146737711190616.post-18000993791420294642014-01-17T11:50:53.638-08:002014-01-17T11:50:53.638-08:00Becci - how interesting, it never occurred to me t...Becci - how interesting, it never occurred to me to cook the oats with milk, however I ALWAYS cook grits with milk.<br />Sherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11221828661770609207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689146737711190616.post-85604874880435400352014-01-17T03:08:29.458-08:002014-01-17T03:08:29.458-08:00I prefer to cook my porridge with milk rather than...I prefer to cook my porridge with milk rather than water. I cook it til it's really thick and then I can add a little more milk to cool it down without making it runny.<br />I usually add chopped dried dates to the oats and cook them out, enough sweetness in them, often don't need extra sweetener. If I do it's usually local raw honey.<br />We add LSA, coconut oil and chia seeds once it's cooked too.<br />My 5yo loves his porridge in winter (the 4yo doesn't) and this fills him up ready for school as well as giving him lots of omega 3's to get his brain working.<br />It's far too hot here (in Australia) for porrdige atm though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689146737711190616.post-13251188197240284032014-01-16T13:38:49.141-08:002014-01-16T13:38:49.141-08:00My husband likes pecans or walnuts and maple syrup...My husband likes pecans or walnuts and maple syrup on his porridge!
