Dr. Oz Recognizes Quinoa: Taste and Perception Using our Intuition
I think that it is a positive sign that Dr. Oz discussed the nature of Intuition and then recognized the quinoa as the secret ingredient. He does know how to pronounce the name of this nutritious grain and perhaps he will go over to the set of TheDoctorsTV and help Dr. Lisa learn how to say, “QUINOA”.
Once upon a time when I worked in a health food store in the early 1970’s, a woman came in asking for what sounded like ‘shamomolee’. I thought for a moment and realized that she had only read the word, ‘chamomile’ and had never heard it pronounced out loud. I took her over to the shelves that held all of the herbal teas and pulled out the Chamomile Tea. She smiled and took it from my hand and thanked me while heading toward the cash register to pay for her tea. You can tell how familiar people are with herbs and nutrients by the way they speak about them…
Dr. Oz is doing a better job with sharing food ideas with his audience, just as the doctors are on their show. Bananas and almonds for snacks, whole grains and pasta, whole foods and healthy snacks…my goodness…it’s a trend that’s timely and oh, so necessary!
In fact, tonight on TV, the Food Revolution begins as the latest new reality show with chef Jamie Oliver who is stepping up to speak out and dig in to change the way our kids are eating at school in the cafeteria and vending machines. Finally!
Once the teachers, administrators, kids, parents, and cooks in the cafeteria get their heads wrapped around the absolute necessity of changing the types of foods our kids are eating while at school, then the governmental funding and regulatory agencies will get the bigger picture, too. If Michelle Obama can get national media attention with a garden for the White House and the issue of obesity among children, then we’ll see the tide turn on this significant issue for this and future generations.
Tune in tonight and watch the Food Fight of the decade get started and pitch in a few throws of your own. Junk Food is fun to throw at the wall or at someone who is teasing another person about eating rabbit food like that ignorant over-weight drooping eyed radio personality on the preview. That guy wouldn’t recognize quinoa if he were offered a new lease on life… LOL
I would love to have some face time with the cafeteria cooks and show them the difference with my EAV equipment between processed and pre-packaged foods compared to whole foods made from real ingredients. They would be shocked and never look at food they were preparing for the children the same ever again!
What’s to gain? My intuition tells me that the minds of the children in school will be more focused, with better memory, greater creativity, longer attention span, and improvement in the ability to learn and master their educational material when they eat healthy whole foods.
Then once the kids learn to love healthy food, they will go into the garden and get their hands in the soil and grow their own food. Then their education will be complete and we’ll have a generation of kids who are more self-sufficient and competent with their real Life Skills.
The discussion about intuition was good, but more information needs to be given in future segments about ‘knowingness’ and ‘awareness’ when it comes to health and life issues. When your body and brain is well-nourished, then your mind will function with greater intuition and awareness….which we like to refer to as ‘knowingness’.
