Take Safety Into Your Own Hands.

--------------------

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has concluded that the Food and Drug Administration as currently structured is inadequate. Surprised? Of course not. The GAO has labeled the FDA's oversight of food safety and medical products, as well as the EPA's control over toxic chemicals, as areas of high risk.

While the Obama Administration haggles over how best to fix these departments, we have a few suggestions as to how you can, to the best of your ability, control what goes into your mouth and onto your body.

104 Year-Old Credits Cod Liver for Longevity.

--------------------

Richard Catton, The Press London, England

An ex-pub landlady who attributes her longevity to cod liver oil has celebrated her 104th birthday. Alice Leaf is a former landlady of the Phoenix Pub, in George Street, York. She was born in Heworth on January 21, 1905. She started working on her 14th birthday in 1919 and remembers her father returning from serving in the trenches during the First World War.

Mrs Leaf married her policeman husband, Stanley, in 1928 and the couple went to live in Wakefield for his work. Her son, Raymond, said: "You would not think she was her age. She is laughing and joking and when she was 100 the mayor came to visit and went to the wrong person as my mother didn't look old enough."

Alice Leaf Turns 104.

Old Fashioned Meatballs and Sauerkraut
This was Bonnie's maternal grandmother's favorite meal and she lived to be 103. She felt that sauerkraut was the key to her good health and longevity. Who knew that authentic sauerkraut does not only possess the health benefits of cabbage, but that it also contains healthy flora? She likes this recipe because it is a complete one pot dinner and great for a cold winter night.

-1 lb. lean ground round (beef) or dark meat turkey
-1 organic omega 3 egg or 2 egg whites, well-beaten
-1 c.cooked Jasmine or basmati rice (the frozen 3 minute microvariety is the quickest)
-1-2 T. dried minced onion or shallots
-pinch of salt, optional
-pinch of white pepper
-1/4 tsp. allspice
-28.5 jar old fashioned sauerkraut (only ingredients should be cabbage, salt and water) - my favorite brands are Gundelshein from World Market or 365 brand from Whole Foods.
-8 oz. organic chicken broth (Pacific Foods)
-1/2 c. filtered water

In a large pot, heat sauerkraut, water, and chicken broth on medium heat until bubbly. Combine all other ingredients and make into 4-6 meatballs. Drop, one at a time, into sauerkraut. Cover each meatball with hot sauerkraut. When all the meatballs have been added to the sauerkraut, turn the heat down to simmer and cover the pot. Cook for 30-45 minutes until there is no pink left in the meat. SERVES: 4
