Last year, in the leadup to the elections, there was a lot of pessimism and a lot of survivalist articles all over the net. Many people could see the end of the world as we know it. I put together a survival stash, just in case, and took some emergency training so I could help out my neighbors in a disaster.

In my research I found that there were many examples of famines all over the world, in this generation and long ago, where people ate grass to survive and it killed them. There was a recent article in National Geographic about the famine in North Korea that spoke of this.

Grass is not a natural food for humans because it is so heavy on cellulose, which we cannot digest. I know that in the Irish Potato famine, long ago, many people died from trying to eat grass. But, if the grass is juiced, leaving behind the cellulose, Ann Wigmore said that you could live on it if necessary.

I have been using an electric juicer for a couple of years now but I decided to get some handcrank Lexan juicers for my emergency stash for my neighbors and myself. There obviously wouldn’t be electricity available during an emergency situation. There is always green stuff growing here in California, even in the winter, that can be juiced for emergency food.

But after I put my emergency stash together and Obama got elected, I decided that all this worry and fear was bad for my vibration. So I unplugged from the news and got on with my life.

I actually haven’t done mainstream news for thirty years because I think it is bad for your health. It is fear-based to make money and most pundits are raving idiots or mediocre minds at best. But, during the never-ending election cycle, I did get hooked on web news and blogs. But I gave that up as well and went back to take caring of my own life.

Now I get RSS feeds of the great news in the alternative energy field and sustainable living and other things I am interested in. There are so many new inventions coming out every day in those areas. It is very exciting!   With the computer we can get the exact news we are interested in, instead of trash news aimed at controlling us or instilling fear in us, I really appreciate that!

Have a green day,
Pam
