Freewrite Day 464 Honey
Honey is a demonized food these days. Vegans won’t eat it because bees are people too. People trying to lose weight think it will make them fat. And even the poor bees are dying off for who knows what reason.
Raw honey is a great part of a healthy diet. It has many health benefits and can certainly replace some of the refined gmo beet sugar too many of us eat now.
I was getting raw honey and bee pollen at the Farmers Market in Coronado for not too bad a price. You do not need to use a lot so it lasted in my pantry.
My mom used it on her skin, and on cuts and infections. Yet another proof that lady was an unknown and unrecognized genius of her time. The longer I live the more I value her lessons.
Now here in SE Asia I normally only see the refined honey I do not eat. If I do see the good stuff it is too expensive. But I am always on the lookout and hopeful I will find a good source.
I can find wonderful ginger here and tea with both of them will be my first priority if I ever hit the honey jackpot.
My post is for the #freewrite daily challenge by @mariannewest. Freewrite is a great way to post on steemit when you do not think you have the time, or talent, or anything to say. It’s a great way to start regular posting on steemit. I know you can do this too! Here is Marianne’s freewrite prompt post for today. Give it a try and surprise yourself.

Recent events have not been easy, and you can read about them here:
Situation Critical – My rent and wifi are not paid and now are both overdue
UPDATE: I am so happy and relieved to tell you that:
- my rent and a wifi top up have been paid.
- the money sent to my US paypal account has arrived, through Thailand to Malaysia!
A bigger post describing current events will be posted soon, but I want to let anyone checking on me know that the first part of the situation is solved and that at least I will not be cut off from the world without a roof over my head.
And I can afford to go to Singapore for my required visa trip. Can you go to Singapore for three days and spend a total of $75 USD? Watch me try!
I am so grateful to you all.

It is almost Super Bowl Sunday. Statistics say that only 5% of people with health resolutions for the New Year will still be on track. Is your fitness equipment still out handy, and are you still on a "diet?"
I lost "Half My Size" eight years ago by using natural methods. I started on December 5th and did not give up. You can do it too!

An anti-sugar doctor once told me honey was just sugar with bee spit on it. I don't think he knew all the good stuff that's in honey!
Haha! I guess maple syrup is tree poop! Dang. Remember that doctors only get 1-2 hours of nutrition in med school and then don't listen to their food advice.
I had one doctor that was good with it and he told me had a big awakening about 10 years after med school - thinking - hey maybe my patients need to eat better. Then he looked into and was mad like I was. It's terrible to find out how much this bad food is supported.
When I went all natural with my food and lost "half my size" this doctor looked at my food diary and said I needed to add salt since I was not eating processed food. I had to learn to salt my food!
Then when I got to SE Asia - everyone told me to get more salt and electrolytes against dehydration in the heat. You will not hear that from your average us doctor.
"tree poop" - ha ha ha! I gotta remember that one!
lol - Sweeteners are not the demon. it's all about variety and getting the good stuff. I grew up in Canada where the maples poop in season :)
