Comment on {Green Living} Recycled Shopping Bags by Morgen

Morgen — Wed, 16 May 2012 15:51:44 +0000

I have made an interesting observation at markets over the years. I used to take recycled bags for customers when they purchased something from me. A few years ago I stopped and at first some people were amazed that I did’nt supply bags and then gradually each year after that I observed more and more people bring their own bags and backpacks to the market. No one ever asks for a bag anymore.
I also wanted to point out that my Kootsac bags are designed especially for buying bulk food items form bulk bins – they are made of the lightest weight ripstop nylon, silk or cotton. I started making them a few years ago when as a textile artist I saw the need for an alternative to throwaway plastic bags for bulk food. I figured that this was something I could do to address that need.

Hi Natasha,
I see what you mean. I only write these posts in the hopes I reach someone dealing with something like I am, and if I’m able to help others with the advice I’ve been given by my osteopath and nutritionist team. I have a gluten sensitivity already, which is the main cause of the “holes in the intestines and stomach lining” line. A food allergy or sensitivity happens when your body is either naturally coded to not accept those food particles, or when your stomach lining is penetrated and the food particle gets into the bloodstream and then your body’s cells attacks it as foreign matter. I guess I should have been clear about that if it isn’t already in the post.

That is such a great thought. I have a huge bag of shopping/recycled bags in the trunk of my car and use them all the time. But really? I don’t need 34 of them. I will start giving them away…such a fabulous idea!

I wanted to share a little reusable bag story. I have a few extra reusable bags, so I decided to bring them grocery shopping to give away. Last week I offered one to a woman and she could hardly believe me when I offered. Her excitment was wonderful and afterwards she waved at me in the parking lot with a huge grin and again as she passed me on the road. The gesture filled us both with joy!

As a coeliac disease sufferer, corn does not act on the body in the same way as the gluten-containing grains. Perhaps it has a similar effect on people with other types of sensitivities, but how exactly does it “bore holes in the intestines and stomach lining”? This does not sound very scientific and is, frankly, alarmist. I am all for considering changes to my diet but I do this based on scientific evidence. I’m sure you mean well but you lost me with that statement.

I don’t think it’s too tart, especially cooked in brown sugar.

Oh, it’s not sweet! It’s very, very tart! But with a good taste.

So, rhubarb tastes sweet? Why did I always think it was not sweet? This recipe sounds great and I love the picture of your daughter happily snacking away.
