The theme of this year’s Farm to Table Conference is the mantra of many Western Pennsylvania farmers, retailers, health and wellness professionals and restaurateurs: Eat local food.
Organizers hope to illustrate the theme through exhibits, cooking demonstrations by local chefs and presentations by guest speakers, and cap off the festivities with a local food-tasting event on Friday night. Erin Hart, of American HealthCare Group of Green Tree, sponsor of the fourth annual event, says interest in and attendance at the conference has grown.
There were 300 participants the first year, 600 in 2008. “This year, we are on track for 1,200 attendees,” she says. Among those who typically turn out are chefs looking for local products and consumers looking for health information and local products. “We look for diversity of topics and address current trends,” says Hart, director of the conference. “We use new speakers and demos every year to expose attendees to community resources and health-and-wellness information.”
This year’s lineup of speakers will focus on related topics ranging from “Your Health, Your Environment and Whole Foods” by Darrell Misak, Pittsburgh Alternative Health, and “A Sustainable Food Supply in Harmony with Nature — Rethinking Agriculture” by Patricia DeMarco, Rachel Carson Homestead, to “The Practice and Health Benefits of Natural Food Fermentation” by Scott Grzybek, Zukay Live Foods, and “Liberation Diet: Healthy Long-Term Weight Loss with Real Food” by Kevin Brown, president, Visionary Trainers.
Deborah Stockton began NICFA in 2007 as a means to the truth about local food and small farms at the national level, to educate and empower individuals and state groups to do the same, and put a face and voice on family farming in Congress.
In the political realm, we do this by making local food and small farms real to federal legislators with human relationships between farmers and consumers and their federal legislators.
Generally, until NICFA began working with federal legislators about local food and small farm issues, agriculture meant only industrial agriculture to Congress. We have begun to change that way of thinking.

At this late point in history, we have a nation of people who face a tsunami of heart disease, diabetes, cancers of various kinds, and an obesity epidemic that is by all accounts making us the fattest nation in the history of the world!
How to correct this deficiency of health is to a large part the problem itself, as there is two distinct schools of thought about what is the definition of health, and how to attain it.
First of all we need to use terms that communicate the problem correctly, and unfortunately, terms are controlled by then Mainstream Media, who in turn is controlled by Big Food, Big Pharma, and Big Government.
We actually have a Health Crisis in America, not a Health-Care crisis, as we are not lacking health-care so-called (medical insurance), but actually we’re lacking health!
We don’t have a lack of Gymnasiums in America, we have a lack of fitness. We don’t have too much junk food in America, we have too little truly healthy real food!
On one side of the fence is the medical system, that has a vested interest in having a continuous flow of sick people to make their business model work.
Also, the Pharmaceutical industry, which also has as ongoing need for people to never actually get well, but to become and remain sick and on medications.
This is simply how the medication business model works. Furthermore the BigPharma industry creates and develops new diseases and new drug products to cater to this new customer base, and has such good profit margins to work from, it can control public opinion through the Media as well as influence the Medical authorities and the Government. This is not new news to many in our nation, but many people refuse to believe this is happening.
Here is just a sample of how our so-called health care system is losing touch with reality…
Liberation Wellness President and author of the Liberation Diet Kevin Brown will be one of the main speakers at the Pittsburgh farm to table conference, this event is huge so come on out if you are able!
Throughout the history of planet earth, mankind has looked for signs to help them understand God, the universe, and their environment. Man is naturally religious and superstitious, and in ancient times they would try to connect a misfortune with something they had done or a god that they had angered. This creating of a false god to interpret the universe, events and circumstances around them is not changed in modern man, they have simply created different false idols with new, sophisticated modern sounding names. We still try to appease the gods, just don’t call them “gods”, call them scientists!
Up until the late 19th century, modern civilizations understood what food was, how to prepare it, and what was indeed truly healthy based on two types of information, observations learned over time and handed down from generation to generation, and the words of the only true God, found in the Bible. These observations, which could also be called common sense, may have taken hundreds of years to develop, but were remarkably accurate as people had no reason to doubt their parents when they instructed them about food, or the very obvious self-evident effect of eating the food itself and observing the results!
Not too surprisingly, the Bible also has a lot to say about food, and much of the information is in complete harmony with the traditional diets of the vast majority of mankind throughout history. So whether you leaned on the Bible to help you understand how to eat healthy or used “common sense” you were not too far from truth.
How to create a false religion
In order for the industrial food giants, the pharmaceutical industry and the government to become the modern supreme beings (or Food Deity) over the God-given right to eat like a human being to be effective, they had to displace the two center pillars of truth about food, common sense and the Bible.
This started with the creation of fake food in the late 1800’s, as marketing began to attack real food, and indirectly common sense and the Bible. The Bible, which in those days was still considered true and trustworthy was beginning to become undermined by the “theory of evolution” an absolute fantasy which ultimately displaces the true god with man as the creator. As this fake religion is promoted, it promotes the scientist as the ultimate authority of truth. As more and more scientific discoveries were being made in the early 20th century, more and more trust in all things scientific began to take hold in society. If the Bible is not true in one part, then it is not to be trusted at all, so all the information related to food in the Bible, as well as ancient common sense, is just the foolishness of man before the enlightenment of science “falsely so called”.
Today, when their is a conversation about food the authority is always “well this study shows that…”, in other words, science is now the new authority, and anything else is not trustworthy.
Years ago when I was early in my personal trainer career I knew I was not getting results with the nutrition protocols I was taught in school, I had a strong suspicion that these protocols were WRONG ON PURPOSE!
Using common sense and observation, I was able to implement the OPPOSITE of the protocols taught to me in school, and my clients soon became consistently thin and healthy! My number one challenge to help my clients become thin and healthy was to convince them my program was safe and effective to try, in spite of the enormous psychological pressure from every other source of information they heard from (Food Deity’s) , media, medical, government, friends and family.
The “false god of science” that reigns in our modern world is powerful, and loved and worshiped to such a high degree, that people will keep on living in pain and suffering, drain their life savings, and faithfully make trip after trip to the doctors office in order to keep their god on the throne! This god is never appeased, as he needs his subjects to be sick, fat, and confused! This is very parallel to the sacrifices to the gods made in ancient days, bizarre rituals that are still going on today! According to modern medicine, healthy humans are just in between sickness events (blood sacrifices) and need to have constant medical testing to hurry up and find something wrong!
The God of the Bible has given all mankind directions on what foods are good and how to eat them, instructions in total alignment with old-fashioned common sense.
Whether you trust the Bible or common sense for truth about food, when you begin to eat like a human being, you begin to feel like a human being. The person who awakes from his or her fake-food zombie state and says “I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired”, soon finds true long lasting relief in the absence of science worship. It is the new Sign of the Times!
Give thanks when you eat, eat raw butter, raw milk and red meat. All clear instructions from the Bible, from common sense, and from ancient traditions! You will be on your way to an epiphany of health, and freedom of mind. It is indeed Liberating!
