We made our first juice this morning from what I had on hand

5 Carrots, 2 Crispy Green Apples, bunch of Kale, 1/2 Lime - peeled, 1/2 head of romaine.

It was good :) It's a little getting used to it since the shoot is so small, but I managed. Next time I will cut it up smaller and see if that speeds things up.

My son was watching the whole thing and was amazed with the pulp shooting out, and after all the juicing was done, he wouldn't touch the juice it since it was GREEN... but he really wanted the pulp :)

So I let him try it and he liked it and wanted me to give him more for breakfast! LOL It was so funny that he refused the actual juice but it's great that he told me what he wanted.

I did give him a little juice so it's not too dry and some more in his soup for lunch so he got his share or healthy nutrients today!

Note to self - Next time when I make juice for him to actually drink, I will remember to make it another color.

Mandatory Vaccinations for US citizens - What are they thinking?

Mandatory Vaccination Bill passes senate in MA

Even though I don't live in MA, I am concerned about this new bill

Quote:

The bill gives the public health commissioner the discretion to respond to an outbreak like the kind going on in Mexico - to close or evacuate buildings, enter private property, isolate or quarantine people, and to get and distribute meds and vaccines.

If you refuse the vaccination or refuse to be quarantined (FEMA camps?) the penalty is $1000 per day or 30 days in prison.

Sounds like they are using volunteers (community organizers?) to help enforce it.

I for one don't want to have the government enforce any kind of mandatory vaccine or any procedure for that matter.

I don't want to worry about my kids getting sick afterwards

A warning that the new swine flu jab is linked to a deadly nerve disease

If you want to learn more about what's in the vaccine go here

... This is not the first time....

"On February 15, 1976, an army recruit at Fort Dix said he felt tired and weak. He died the next day and four of his fellow soldiers were later hospitalized. Two weeks after his death, health officials announced that swine flu was the cause of death and that this strain of flu appeared to be closely related to the strain involved in the 1918 flu pandemic. Alarmed public-health officials decided that action must be taken to head off another major pandemic, and they urged President Gerald Ford that every person in the U.S. be vaccinated for the disease. The vaccination program was plagued by delays and public relations problems, but about 24% of the population had been vaccinated by the time the program was canceled. Only one person, the Fort Dix army recruit, died from the flu"

"There were reports of Guillain-Barré syndrome, a paralyzing neuromuscular disorder, affecting some people who had received swine flu immunizations."
