Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat

[lizannhollow]

While I have had mostly positive reactions from people, can only add this to the topic. A long time ago, within the last 15 years or so I heard this statement. As I am not sure where or by whom but it resonates in mind still today and found it 100% correct. The statement goes something like this; "People will often criticize what they don't understand". At the time I heard it I never really gave it much thought. Then I was at a function and someone was pontificating about something in a critical manor but the more I listened the more I knew he knew nothing about what he was talking about. He was truly uninformed and believed what he knew(which was not much about the subject)and there was no changing him.

I know your post is from a while ago.... lol.... so just in case you wanted to know the quote you used was from Eleanor Roosevelt. Awesome lady.

SO are diabetics less prone to cancer since most forms of diabetes causes them to cut most if not all sugar and starched from their diet?
NO DW is under going cancer treatments and she's a diabetic. In fact on part of the treatment has her on insulin shots temporarily.

Please ladies DO NOT put off those tests. If you have no insurance check to see if there is help to pay for them. DR's offices will not offer the information you have to ask.

Our church started a clinic here to help those in such a position.

DH starts his cancer treatments soon. I'm pretty sure I'll be hearing funny comments while I'm crocheting chicken sweaters while we wait!

That is a tough one since diabetes is metabolic disorder and is related to not using insulin correctly. There is a much higher risk of cardio vascular disease with diabetes.

Most of the diabetics I know still eat sugar though so I do not know.

Here is a snipped of an article about it:

Fructose and glucose found to fuel pancreatic cancer cell growth

Published on August 10, 2010 by Conner Middelmann-Whitney in Nourish

Pancreatic cancer cells use the sugar fructose to help the tumor grow more quickly, researchers have discovered. Published this month in Cancer Research, these findings serve as a powerful reminder that anyone wishing to curb their cancer risk should start by reducing the amount of sugar they eat.

To assess the effect of fructose on cancer cells, UCLA researchers added glucose to one set of human pancreatic cancer cells and fructose to another set of cells. After letting the cells interact with the sugars, both fructose and glucose were found to increase cancer cell growth at similar rates but through different metabolic pathways. This is the first time a link has been shown between fructose and cancer proliferation....
The detailed article is in the link that says Cancer Research above in the quote.

Well now I've not heard any funny comments while I crochet. I used to be shy about it but DW doesn't mind so neither do I. Did you join our granny square swap we have going on? I also take my back issues of "English Gardening" and "Out There" to read and when I go I leave them there for others to read.

I do hope all goes well with your DH. DW is cancer free, but her treatments continue to make sure.

Take care,

I have joined the swap. Can't wait to see what the final product looks like

The only help my Gramma W had came from the 13 boys and 1 daughter she had.......same with my other Gramma, except in her case it was her 5 daughters and 6 sons. And Gramma W got up at 4:30 am to have breakfast for the family on the table by 6:00......usually a couple of dozen eggs, three or 4 packs of her homemade sausage, pancakes, fried potatoes, and hot biscuits.

Animals and nature are excellent remedies for what ails the mind. Try gardening, that sure brings tranquility, that's my favourite mental medicine.

I have never had duck eggs but several people here on BYC stated they taste different and are exceptionally good in baked goods, it makes the baked goods taste better and does not make them taste "funny"

The great thing about the modern age is the ability to find stuff:
