Well it’s that time of year again, where the sunshine is showing itself more each morning as it rises from the east.  The specialists say you should stay out of the sun, or cover up your skin when going out in it for any length of time.  In saying that I believe they are totally wrong.  In doing so you deprive yourself of what is needed from the sun which is Vitamin D.  Half hour a day is all one needs to stay healthy.  Yep just a half hour, soon as your  skin detects the sun it starts making vitamin D and spreads it through out your body.  If everyone got a half hour a day I really believe half or more of all our diseases today would be gone forever.  Oh I know, I hear so many saying well I sure can’t go out in the sun, I got sensitive skin, I burn fast, all kinds of excuses.  Well in my mind that is all they are, excuses.  If you start now early in the spring going out a bit each day, come summer your skin will be toughened up enough take the hot days which lay ahead.  Simple as that. But lets say just for the sake of argument if you do happen to get a touch to much sun and turn a bit red.  What to do is simply as soon as you come in take a bit of vinegar on a rag and wipe down the red part. Vinegar will turn that red to a nice tan and take out any burning feeling you might think you have.  Old remedies for a new era.  So, all I can tell ya, is, if it is a nice sunny day, get out there, your body is in need bad.  My opinion only.

Alright, I was asked and I will write what I feel to be correct.  What I was asked was how come some folks today feel that they will become more healthy if they switch from a meat diet to a veggie diet.  First off I don’t really believe in my mind, through years of experience, that a veggie diet is any better than, say a beef or chicken diet.   What I believe to be true is, that the beef and chickens isn’t the problem, it is what is going into these critters through the food they are fed.  That being said, is the problem.  Years ago cancer and things were unheard of in men or women pretty much and if you take a look at their diets it was pretty well 75% meat.  Beef cattle were brought from the west to the cities by the millions and every night that was the main course to say the least.  How come the meat didn’t hurt us?  As I just said, years ago the beef cattle, were free range fed.  They ate nothing and mean nothing but good healthy free of chemical grass and things.  As the old saying goes, you are what you eat and that statement you can take to the bank.  Today our foods are so full of poisons, hormones, antibiotics, well to many to even comprehend, that it is no wonder why so many folks are fallin’ ill these days.  The hard thing to come to grips with is, it is almost impossible to get away from it and eat right.  The only way would be to find a farmer, that you know and can trust that doesn’t feed his beef with chemically treated feed or spray his crops.  If you can do that and have a butcher you can trust you are in business.  Then you go out and plant your own garden and you are all set.  Ones health will then come to them in abundance.  Also if your a hunter you have one step up on some folks, as there is no better food than directly from nature to your plate.  I know some say, hey, I can’t go out and eat something that was once running around free in the bush.  I say well it’s a matter of survival and we as one species high in the food chain has to do what he has to do, to stay fit.   Myself I prefer venison over beef and grouse or pheasant or quail over chicken or turkey.  It’s all in how you cook them.  Again cruel some say to the critters out there.  Well in some ways you are right, but remember this too.  That if you were to look at how our beef cattle, chickens or what ever in some places are being treated you would soon realize that my theory is not so bad.  Actually it is more humane if the truth be known.   So there you go my feelings on the subject.   My Opinion Only.
