HEALTH CARE SYSTEM GONE AWRY

Corporate excess. Grotesque executive compensation. Lawmakers making laws for lobbyists. "...the average American has no idea how bad this health-care system really is..."

In this link, my friend Dr. Sean Colsen gives a candid view from a surgeon's persepective on the failing state of managed health-care. Sean appears on the New York satellite radio show STAND UP! with Pete Dominick (Sirius 110 / XM 130) which boasts 18.5 million listeners.

Is patient care and wellness being sacrificed for insurance company profits...?

Absolutely.

FUNKY KOHLRABI

This is kohlrabi:

The German literal translation is "cabbage-turnip."

It is high in vitamin C, calcium & phosphorus.

While it may be baked, fried or grilled, it is best RAW...

Here's a couple quick recipes:

WEEK 6

"This week's share sees the sunshine's effects draw to fruition,
The leaves of spring, fore-telling in their way, meet the summer's transition..."
--Seamus MacRagnall

Week Six moves us along toward the development of more hearty stock (and roots!)

Included here are Curly Kale, Mizuna, Sugar Beets, Kholrabi, Peppery Cress, Summer Squash, Zucchini, and some mixed cutflowers (again, there may be a slight variation between the first of the week and the end).

WEEK 4...and Duxbury Farmers Market

Week Four finds us with a possible break in the rain, the 4th of July, the opening of the Duxbury Farmer's Market and the following basket mix: Pak Choi, Swiss Chard, "Elegance" greens mix, Baby Kale, Broccoli Rapa, free-range eggs, hand-craft soap and Garlic Scapes (slight variation may occur between monday CSAs & friday CSAs).
