FreeRice: this is a fantastic concept! Everybody wins - don't you love that?!? It's a spelling game that you play on your computer. For each correct answer, ten grains of rice are donated to the United Nations World Food Program - people are fed. The sponsors names are seen at the bottom of the screen - they get advertising. A word is offered with a choice of four definitions - you learn. Win-Win-Win! The purpose of the site is to feed and educate as many as possible throughout the world. FreeRice has been expanded to include six major categories: Art, Chemistry, English, Geography, Language Learning, and Math. Imagine! It even automatically adjusts to your own level. It's incredible - for any age, and you will be fascinated! Check it out here.

Wheatgrass! Thomas A. Edison is credited with saying "Until man duplicates a blade of grass, Nature can laugh at his so-called scientific knowledge."
The first time ever I tried this emerald elixir was at a health show where it was offered to me as a sample. I clearly remember thinking "Who could drink this stuff?!?" It was strong - and very green! and tasted like freshly mowed grass. Doing a little research showed Wheatgrass to be an amazing powerhouse, chock-a-block full of more nutrients than you can shake a stick at. It is rich in protein, and has high levels chlorophyll.
Check out 50 reasons to drink Wheatgrass.
and then carry on with your own research. Stand ready to be amazed!

There seem to be quite a few vegetarians and even a few vegans at WHUC. There may be others that are transitioning. For myself, I am chugging along towards veganism. I have made the most amazing discovery - Hemp Hearts!!! I am just so over-the-top excited! They're shelled hemp seeds, and 5 tablespoons of these tender little morsels pack a wholloping 20 grams of protein! Imagine! That takes the worry right out of my day! Even those unable to tolerate gluten, sugar, milk, nuts, and meat can chow down on Hemp Hearts. They have a place of honour in my refrigerator. They go into shakes, soups, stews, salads - whatever goes into my mouth - they go with it. Rocky Mountain Grain Products, Lethbridge, Alberta is my brand du jour. Check around, do the research, and maybe you'll fall head over heals, as I have. I'm in love with Hemp Hearts! P.S. Have a look for Hemp Powder, and Hemp Milk as well; there are some great brands out there. Fabulous!
