SHAKE THE HIVE: GMOs

What are you eating? Is your diet an invitation to cancer?

Add to your diet the many things you put on your body. Your skin absorbs everything that it comes in contact with- so yes, the toxic stuff in your suntan lotion, your hair products,... your laundry soap left on your sheets, your toothpaste, face wash, makeup. Now the stuff you breath- all manner of free floating toxins, emissions, fumes. The flourides and other chemicals in the water. Add it all up, and most Americans are blinking neon signs for cancer. Add to this mix the proliferation of GMOs, the food dye in most foods, the incredibly non-food like food product ingredients in most processed foods (anti-freeze, for example)- no wonder our chronic disease rate in the US is so high. Why would they ever want to offer up free health care when its such a booming business? Americans are gluttonous. We have taken consumption to a whole new level. I am not suggesting anyone feel shame, but some contrition in the form of self discipline is called for. THIS IS THE REAL REVOLUTION. The real revolution is when real, normal people wake up enough to stop doing behaviors that hurt themselves and the world, one by one, little by little. Awakened people understand they are responsible for the outcome. And if you are a parent- this should really strike home. Zombies are a great metaphor for the consuming masses, driven by pure want and appetite, consuming without regard for the consequences. There is only one way to not be one. Wake up. Realize your consumer choices have an impact on the world, your family, your body. Do something different. Start now.

Consume what you must, then boogie? Only if you're a zombie.

Occupy yourself!!

Shake the Hive

This is my new favorite food. I seriously have eaten only this for the past four days, and its amazing.

Normally I don't start with the after picture, but I just need to go TA-DA! with this dish. Its so very easy, so full of nutrients, and so delicious that I just gotta give myself a high five.

(And for all those who offered help with the name, I have given you credit at the end of the recipe, and thank you!)

Molotov Quinoa Bowl. Pyewacket the cat is bird dogging my dinner

Here is what you'll need-

Organic black beans- 1 can
organic quinoa- 1 cup
organic avocado-
organic tomato-
organic garlic- 2 cloves
purple onion- 1
goat cheese
Pink Himalayan sea salt

The organic, whole food fixin's of a Molotov Quinoa Bowl o' goodness

I have a rice cooker, which I couldn't live without. If you don't, then follow the directions on the quinoa. While the quinoa is cooking, I put the black beans on a skillet on low/ medium, and then cut up the garlic and onion (I used a quarter of the onion) and put that in with the beans to simmer.

While that is all simmering and cooking, I cut up the tomato (about half of it) into diced chunks and the same with the avocado and set it on the side.

Eat it! The revolution is all about bomb ass cooking with organic and locally grown whole foods.

When the quinoa is ready, dump that and the tomatoes into the beans and mix it all up, and let it simmer for a few minutes. Then take out the amount that is to be eaten right away (so you can save the rest without putting the very perishable and not good to re-heat avocado and goat cheese in all of it) and add the goat cheese, avocado, and pink Himalayan sea salt.

This is enough for two people, if you use all of it. I usually save half and re-heat the next day, adding more avocado and goat cheese after I've re-heated it- and not by microwave, ever. At least thats my preference, and I have a blog about that, too.

Now amaze yourself and eat it! Being a revolutionary is fun. If you choose this, no meat, no GMOs, non processed whole food, organic and hopefully locally grown- then you have just contributed to the cause in a very significant way. And if can try something new and make it part of your lifestyle, eventually you will replace all the crap you once ate with the goodness that is found in the New Anarchist's Cookbook (until its in print, it can only be found here at Shake the Hive on blogspot), or any number of other places- the point is, when we stop paying our hard earned money for their sickness inducing factory farmed genetically modified, rain forest raping foods and invest in the good stuff, the good guys- we tip the scales a little bit. And we stay healthy and therefore out of the reach of Big Pharma. There is a lot to stay healthy for, and protesting the evils of the world is one of them. Occupy yourself!!!

Yes! Very true! Occupy yourself and re-appraise your eating habits from a revolutionary standpoint.

By the way, I enlisted the help of Facebook friends to help come up with a revolutionary name for this dish, and here are all the clever names they came up with....
