- Comment on 1996 McDonalds Hamburger by Joe Moxie July 27, 2010We showed your post to my son when he was in grade 2 (2 years ago) and the teacher told us on interview day that my son had become a NO McDONALDS advocate! Apparently he went and told all the kids about this disgusting hamburger and why you shouldn't eat McDonalds. He will not eat it unless we HAVE to (on the way home, starving and nowhere else to go).

My name is Karen Hanrahan. Many of my friends call me Mother Earth...you can too if you like.
On this blog you will find a vast array of mother earthly commentary:
I have been described as earthy, grounded, deeply rooted, granola crunching, tree hugging, and a health nut. I don't fight it. I wear clogs. I prefer cotton.I actually enjoy vegetables. I have beautiful silver threads in my hair. I laugh with every part of me.
I am a proud single mom of two.
I passionately believe in prevention, natural approaches to health and well being. I clean green, advocate the alternative food market, cooking from scratch, networking and mentoring others to health success.
I have been told I write in a way that is humorous, from the heart, enrolling and informative.
This blog is an expression of all of the things I strongly believe in and much more.
Welcome to my world... The Best of Mother Earth.

- Try Chewable Calcium Instead Of TumsI will never forget the first time I heard a client tell me they were sourcing their daily calcium from Tums. Hello!? Tums is an antacid for heartburn!!

- Colitis and Nutritional Supplements TestimonyTestimony I hesitate to tell this story for two reasons: I feel sometimes testimonies can be a little hokey.

Yet this was a major health issue that was helped by nutritional supplementation, the recovery of […]

- Candida Symptoms And How Probiotics HelpI was personally diagnosed with Candida in 1996.
