First you must find a place to eat.

Then try Star Fish fried in Shark Oil.

On to Baby Sharks, Deep Fried Star Fish and Sea Urchins.

The appetizers continue with Turkey Vulture Schnitzels, Sea Snakes and Silk Worms.

Ohhh whats the smell? Could it be Grilled Snake? Yes, yes it could!

Theres more to this feast when we enjoy Dog Liver and veggies.

Ahhhh the feast de la resistance - Goat Lungs and Red Peppers.

With your choice of Cow Stew or Horse Stew!

Or perhaps a bowl or Dog Brain Soup for the canine lovers out there.

For dessert we’re enjoying Lizard Legs & Scorpion Brochettes.

Be sure to ask the Sous Chef to pack up a doggy bag of Black Scorpions, Silk Worms, Dung Beetles and Cicadas

Oh! I almost forgot how much grandma loves Grilled Snake. Two please.

broccoli is good for you - diabetics

clipped from www.redorbit.com

New research suggests that eating broccoli could reverse the damage caused by diabetes to heart blood vessels.

key is a compound found in the vegetable, called sulforaphane.
encourages production of enzymes which protect the blood vessels, and a reduction in high levels of molecules which cause significant cell damage.

Cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and strokes are up to five times more likely to develop in people with diabetes; both are linked to damaged blood vessels.

Sulforaphane activated a protein in the body called nrf2, which protects cells and tissues from damage by activating protective antioxidant and detoxifying enzymes, researchers found.
