What we ate in April, and how much it cost.

I do this every month.. - Provide a chart of what Kveta and I ate the previous month,just o give a rough idea of what we might get through on average, so this is more or less what we ate in April 2008....

---

Fruit	Quantity	Cost
Apples	15kg	$11.92
Avocados	100	$80
Bananas	13kg	$13.45
Cherimoya	14kg	$11.28
Cucumbers	5.5 kgs	$16.24
Durian	50 kgs (including shells)	$151.50
Grapefruits	6	$2.5
Grapes	30 kgs	$52.00
Longans	2.5 kg	$13.44
Mandarins	1.5 kg	$3.35
Honeydew Melons	1	$2
Rock Melon	6	$10.49
Nectarines	.5 Kg	$1.75
Oranges	38kg	$34.34
Pawpaw	2	$3.04
Pears	17 kg	$16.36
Pineapple	3	$6
Tomatoes	9 kgs	$16.96
WaterMelon	10kg	$5.55

Totalling $376.22 Which means that we averaged $12.54 for 2 of us each day on food.. That's less than $7 each! (Australian dollars per day).

Proving once more that an all fruit fruitarian diet can be both economical as well healthy, practical, and environmentally agreeable.

Bare in mind that we generally eat an average of 5 or 6 different things each day, and that I fast on Fridays, it should give a very rough idea of what we might eat on a daily basis..

So we don't follow the traditional 3 meals a day plan.. rather we sort of graze throughout the day.
We don't really have a pattern. Just eat when we feel to.. and as a rule of thumb we are generally ready for food at about the same time.

To see more of what we eat on a more or less daily basis, then head over to Kveta's blog, where she tends to give rough summaries of what we both eat daily..

regards and hugs,
Mango.

Useful Website - 11 - Make Cheap International Phone Calls from the UK.

Are you after an inexpensive way to make international phone calls from the UK?

Of course, you can always go and buy a cheap phone card, or use a VoIP thing, like Skype, but one easy quick fix solution is to use the following website :

http://telediscount.co.uk/

They provide a list of lots and lots of different numbers you can ring before dialing your international number, thus in many cases, reducing the cost down to just 1 pence a minute.. (The list is also frequently updated with the cheapest numbers available at the time!)

Crazy World News - 2 - Aliens in NSW?

Alien Presence in NSW?

There's been some spookey goings on in the Hunter Valley in NSW here in Australia..

Several Olive growers have gone out in the morning only to find that all their trees have been somehow miraculously entirely stripped of their fruit..

"There have been theories about bats and birds but we've ruled that out because there's no damage or no faeces … it's quite eerie.

"Whoever or whatever it was … depending on this year's yield, they could have gotten away with up to $40,000 worth."

One guy had 400 trees completely de-olived in the course of one night.. a job which would have normally taken them 3 hard days work to complete..

The weirdest thing is, it seems that all the olives were taken, every single one of them removed from all the trees, and the ground, with not a single one left hanging or lying around..

Wierd huh? Aliens?

Happy Birthday Kveta!!

It's Kvetas birthday today, and I'd just like to say a global public hi to her!!

She's 51 today.

Thanks Kveta, for being there, and for inviting me to these shores and into your life!

regards, love,
Mango.
PS .. Sorry, no recent photos to share, so I'll just be showing another of these painted hands..

I won't give you any clues..

And finally:

What do you think?

Topsy-Turvy World - 9 - Do suncreams really prevent skin cancer?

I blogged recently about my thoughts on soaps and other cleaning detergents. Today I would like to focus on sun creams, and raise the question of whether or not sun creams really prevent skin cancer..

My personal view point is one of extreme skeptisisim.. Actually, perversely enough, I really believe that the reverse may even be true..

Think about this.. sun creams contain a whole host of chemicals that are far from natural.. In fact, some of the ingredients in sun creams have been demonstrated to be carcinogenic (actually promoting the development of cancer cells!!).

Actually, just reading the labels makes me feel queasy.. Isotridecyl salicylate, Octyl salicylate, Butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane.. Need I go on?

Sun on the other hand, is totally natural, and without it all creatures on this planet would die... It gives us a steady supply of Vitamin D, which is said to be crucial for the absorption of Calcium in the body, and well, providing we don't over do it, it just feels plain good!!

Think about this.. The skin is a major organ of elimination.. Meaning, that much of what we detox, comes out through the skin.. I believe the sun will help cleanse the skin of surface toxins, but by applying these oil and chemical based sun creams to our skin, we are in affect preventing the skin from detoxing, and in addition, actually absorbing new chemicals into the skin pores from the sun lotions..

Neither Kveta nor I use sun creams, and neither of us can stand the toxic smells of the beach going masses that spread it thickly onto their poor toxin overloaded bodies..

Supporting these thoughts:

Herbert Sheltons - Benefit of Sunlight

During the heat of the summer, after gradually letting more and more sunshine onto my body, I find I can be outside most of the day, and rarely do I get burnt.. Sometimes I find my nose is a bit of a weak point, and will keep that covered to prevent too much skin flaking off.. And should it happen that we get burnt, we just apply a little aloe vera fresh from it's leaf..

We also enjoy massaging fruit skins into the skin (especially papaya or mango!), and find that really helps the skin to not get burned too..

Sunshine is not your enemy!!



Peace to all,
Mango.
