Delicious Lacinto Kale and Walnut Pâté

Hello Friends and Family,

More and more people are asking me.  How in the world are you eating a diet that consists mostly of raw vegetables and fruit?  First of all, I live by the following saying, from the very wise Jack Lalane: "If God didn't make it, don't eat it!"  Living by this mantra makes the choices pretty easy.  God DID NOT make...
  • meat dipped in ammonia, with estrogen-mimicking chemicals injected into it - all conventional, non-organic U.S. meat is treated this way
  • highly processed bread and grains masquerading as "healthy" and "whole grain," loaded with dough conditioners, sugar, monosodium glutamate (MSG) and genetically modified oils - all conventional, non-organic U.S. bread and pasta is treated this way
  • beef from cows that eat corn and other dead cows and pigs instead of grass - all conventional, non-organic U.S. beef is treated this way
  • chickens that eat chicken droppings and dead chicken, pork, and other animal parts - all conventional, non-organic U.S. beef is treated this way
  • super simple sugars that cause fatty liver like high fructose corn syrup - most conventional, non-organic pre-packaed and processed food and condiments have high fructose corn syrup in them
  • bovine growth hormone (rBGH or rBST) injected into dairy cows in the US to increase milk-production - all conventional, non-organic U.S. dairy is treated this way
  • genetically engineered corn, soy, cottonseed, aspartame, canola, Hawaiian papayas, and sugar beets that have all been genetically engineered to produce their own pesticide and/or withstand the application of huge amounts of deadly pesticides - over 60-70% of the foods in the U.S. are either genetically modified or contain genetically modified ingredients, which have been show to cause obesity, diabetes, organic damage, cancer, infertility and other health problems in animal feeding studies


I also like food to taste good, so I put the same level of effort into marinating and seasoning vegetables that I would put into marinating and seasoning meat.  Here's a great recipe (borrowed from Lynda Carter of aliveandraw.com, tweaked by The Black Libertarianess) for a raw, organic lacinto kale salad and walnut pâté, power packed with Vitamin K, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Calcium and Omega-3 fatty acids.  Thank you for this great recipe Lynda!

Try this recipe once per week and you will be doing your part to prevent and even naturally reverse cancer, diabetes, obesity, heart disease, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, and even inflammatory skin diseases such as eczema!  You can substitute collard greens for the kale if you need or want a calcium boost. 

Lacinto Kale and Walnut Pâté

Lacinato Kale

Ingredients
2 bunches of lacinato kale
2 apples
1 ripe mango
1/2 red pepper
1/2 lime juiced
3 - 4 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon of organic lemon pepper (WITH NO SUGAR OR MSG ADDED)
1/2 teaspoon of Celtic Sea Salt or Himalayan Pink Salt
pinch cayenne pepper


Directions
You will need a large bowl.  Wash and thinly chop kale, remove tough stems. Thinly slice and dice apples, onion, red pepper. Cut mango in half cut into small cubes.

Toss kale and all ingredients in a large bow.  Toss thoroughly.  Allow the greens to marinade for one hour or more.

(Note: use a food processor to dice kale for a finer texture that will resemble cooked kale; substitute collard greens for the kale if you want more calcium in your diet)

Walnut Pâté (for a living food meat substitute)


Ingredients
1/2 lb. Walnuts, soaked in water for 2 hours
1/2 onion
1/2 red pepper
3 stalks of celery
1 clove Garlic
3 tarragon leaves
2 teaspoons of Bragg's Non-Genetically Modified Liquid Aminos
pinch cayenne pepper

Directions
Using a food processor or a wet/dry blender, grind vegetables with Bragg's Liquid Aminos and set aside. Grind walnuts and tarragon leaves. In a bowl mix vegetables mixture and walnut mixture.

(*Note: soaking the walnuts will restore the life force of the dormant nut.)

Plate the kale salad with the walnut pâté on the side.  Mix the salad and the pâté in every bite and enjoy!  Yes, you can be healthy WITHOUT toxic drugs or risky surgery!  Yes, you can!
