Remember how thrilled we were in the 70’s when it was discovered that chicken soup actually had medicinal properties and eased the symptoms of colds and the flu? That our grandmothers were RIGHT?? We felt so validated.

The new health elixir is bone broth. Here’s a great article from 2015 from a reporter who drank the stuff for a week to see what the fuss was all about. The fad for bone broth is still going strong. Try making some at home now that we’re entering cold and flu season: it’s good for you, and cheaper than buying a mug. But be forewarned, the stuff smells BAD. Family members have made references to crematoria when I’ve whipped up a batch at home.
