KEFIR

Ned has become a devotee of kefir, that luscious yoghurt-like drink loaded with probiotics, protein, and nutrition. He favors goat's milk kefir, plain of course. Ned admonishes his readers to avoid the sugary, flavored kefirs with the same disdain he hopes they apply to flavored yoghurts. Added sugars, with no added value. If one prefers a little sweetness in one's kefir, why not add a bit of blackstrap molasses, or pomegranite juice. Remember, we seek those foods which like us, and should be less concerned about foods that we like since flavor preferences are created and maintained by industrial food producers. And be sure to get organic if possible, but certainly kefir made with no BGH.
Now, Ned admits these drinks seem pricey. In fact, Ned today paid $5.99 for a 1 quart container of plain goat's milk kefir. However, Ned knows many friends who think nothing of paying $6-7 and more for a glass of wine in a bar, and then wouldn't think of leaving less than a dollar or even two as a "tip" to the person who labored to pour the wine from the bottle into their glass and bring it to them.
So let's try to keep things in proportion, shall we?
