Important Information from Mark Blackburn: I
hope you all had a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend! I would like to say
Sayonara, it has been my pleasure working with you all. I am leaving the
website responsibilities increasingly in the hands of the capable and talented Laura Ammons.
I have enjoyed working with Raw Sacramento during the past 4 years. I hope
to participate in events when I am in town, and am sure that this unique,
special, and crucial support
group will continue to serve it's members well. I have to move on to other priorities
and needs which beckon to me.
Some recent website revisions made include a place where articles
may be posted & you will find
3 new articles there by our member Veronika Clay.
These are articles she has had published in Health and Fitness Magazine.
See
Veronika's Website.
I also posted an interview of me by the Davis Co-op.
The Davis Food Co-op is becoming more raw-food aware, and hopefully I won't
pre-empt them in any way by including my written interview transcript
here.
Lastly, if any of you are using an internet browser OTHER than Microsoft's
Internet Explorer, would you kindly

Mozilla, Netscape, etc.). --Mark Blackburn
Raw Falafel
Soak nuts for 15 minutes, then drain. Mix all
ingredients with a wooden spoon in a large mixing bowl. Then put all ingredients
through a
Champion Juicer with the blank
plate, or a green power or green star with the tension knob removed. Add up to ½
cup water, if necessary. After processing, mix all ingredients thoroughly with
clean hands. With the Falafel mixture, mixture, make a small ball (ping pong
sized), then flatten the ball to make a patty. Put the patty on a mesh
dehydrator tray. Continue until all the mixture is used up
. Dehydrate for 8-10 hours at 95
degrees Fahrenheit. Makes 35 - 40 patties. Enjoy!
Don't forget to review the events calendar.
I would especially like to highlight the Modern Manna Health & Healing Crusade
on June 24 - 27. This event is sponsored by a Christian Ministry and
is bringing in some of the nations top experts in health including
Dr. T.
Colin Campbell, director of the world's largest and
most authoritative study on diet and health;
Howard Lyman, the 'Mad
Cowboy;' Dr. Lorraine Day, Charlotte Gerson,
Dr. John McDougall and others. The event is free, but of course they ask for donations.
It is a superb conference with nationally recognized experts. (At a few
moments it will feel like a Revival or Campmeeting...but it is an
excellent conference). The Boutenko
Children will be in Sacramento on Wednesday Evening, June 16, with a
food prep class including dinner and recipes for just $25. More details
will be forthcoming. Also see
RawStock II, a Raw-Food Festival in
Sebastopol, CA on Aug 28-30 featuring Dr. Doug Graham and others.

Interested in buying rawfood crackers?
Alana (formerly Adair Schwarz) is gearing up production of raw crackers &
cookies at her home near McKinley Park. Mark has tried them and says they
are delicious! See Photos of these crackers
here.
For more information please contact Alana at 916.448..1402 Can you help Raw
Sacramento? Here are 2 ways
you could help Raw Sacramento: 1. Hosting a
2004 Potluck (In the Fall and Winter) I have updated our
potluck schedule indicating the dates in 2004
for potlucks. What we need now are homes at which we could have these
potlucks. Our participation is trending up—our November potluck had 40
individuals. If you are the host, you do not need to prepare a dish. And,
you don't need to drive. The food comes to you! Here's some
information about hosting a potluck.
2. Writing a Raw Food Testimony
Have you eaten much more raw food than previously for at least 2 months? Did you
experience any health improvements? Would you be willing to write a 'Raw
Food Testimony?" We would like to post more of these. If you
have concrete, documentable health improvements and can write a few paragraphs
about your experience, it may influence and help others. Would you please
send us
your Testimony?

May 19, 2004, 12:47 AM EDT WASHINGTON -- A California
company is recalling 5 million pounds of raw almonds sold
nationwide after the Food and Drug Administration received seven reports of food
poisoning.
Paramount Farms Inc. of Los Angeles said Tuesday the
recalled almonds may contain salmonella, a harmful germ that can cause
food poisoning. The recall covers 2.7 million packages of raw almonds
sold under the brand names Kirkland Signature, Sunkist and Trader
Joe's. The FDA received reports that the seven people in Alaska,
Arizona, Oregon, Washington and Utah were sick with salmonella
enteritidis, a type of food poisoning. In five cases, consumers had bought
the almonds from Costco Wholesale Inc. in Oregon, Paramount said in a
statement. Young children, the elderly and people with weakened immune
systems are especially vulnerable to infection from salmonella. In
some cases, it is fatal. The company noted that the those who became
sick have recovered.
"While no salmonella has been found in Paramount
products, we have taken this step out of an abundance of caution and to assure
our customers and consumers of the quality and safety of our products,"
said David Szeflin, Paramount's vice president of operations. The
recalled almonds sold under the Kirkland Signature brand are
specifically labeled as raw.
They were sold in 3-pound, lay flat plastic bags and
stamped with a "best before" date from 8/21/04 to 2/8/05. Recalled
almonds sold under Trader Joe's and Sunkist brands were marked with "best
before dates" of 8/21/04 to 3/15/05. The almonds sold by Trader Joe's
are in 1-pound packages, labeled as "nonpareil variety almonds. Those
sold by Sunkist are in 10-ounce bags and are marked as "raw natural
whole almonds.
Consumers who have the recalled almonds are asked to
return them to the stores where they bought them. Anyone with questions
about the recall can reach Paramount on Wednesday starting at 3 p.m.
EDT by calling 1-800-496-5168. Paramount said it is cooperating with
federal regulators as their investigation continues.
