Living Resiliently in Turbulent Times
A Presentation/Workshop with
Carolyn Baker

Sun April 29th, 3-5 pm with a Potluck to follow

We are living in uncertain, turbulent times. Many of us are anxious about how we will navigate through increasingly unstable economic and social structures, or how we’ll prepare for an era unlike anything we have ever experienced. Through a combination of mythical storytelling, discussion, mindfulness practices in nature, and practical tools for cultivating resilience, you’ll learn strategies to empower yourself to feel resourceful and grounded in an uncertain future, create a sense of inner peace, forge a contemplative relationship with nature, and connect with other like-minded people who share your concerns and passions. Carolyn’s visits to Turkey Hill Farm are always popular, and space is limited. The cost of attendance is $10. We suggest you get in touch as soon as possible to reserve your space.

Wild Foods: Gathering and Preparing an In-Season, Wild-Crafted Lunch
Sat May 12th, 10:00 am – 3:00 pm

This popular class focuses on what is in season in the forest, on the farm, and in the garden. We introduce how to safely identify and respectfully harvest wild foods, talk about the health benefits of these plants as ingredients, and prepare a delicious and creative lunch from the bounty that the edible landscape has to offer. Get back to your culinary roots (literally)! This class is held rain or shine, so please dress for the elements. Tuition is $65 per person. If, however, you’d like to register with your mom as a Mother’s Day outing, we’ll be happy to reduce the registration cost to $55 for each of you. Please register early, as class size is smaller than usual for this active and engaging class.

In Other News

Unfortunately, our May 6th gathering of the Weston A. Price Foundation needs to be canceled. Instead, join Margaret that day for a fantastic workshop at City Market in Burlington – she’ll be creating an appetizer, main course, and dessert made with wild-crafted ingredients. Visit City Market for all the details. We’ll keep you updated on future Weston A. Price Foundation meetings as they are scheduled.

DOUBLE FANTASY – Evolutionary Theory and Cholesterol Theory

Posted by Kevin Brown on June 22, 2010

Why are Saturated Fat and God Hated So Furiously?


There seems to be a correlation between all the elements discussed in this post, I hope you will take your time, watch the videos and see if you can perceive a connection also.

Get Them While They’re Young!

When I was a young boy growing up in Philadelphia, I entered the public school system in the mid 1960′s just after school prayer had been removed. (God expelled) I went to church like any good Catholic did in those days (Easter and Christmas), but mostly didn’t think about God very much.

New God in the fourth grade

Mr. Humay was my 4th grade teacher, he was a very smart man and I respected him a great deal. It was Humay that first taught me about the “origins of life.”

First I learned about dinosaurs and fossils and all manner of prehistoric eras, I memorized them all, and was very in tune with Brontosaurus, Triceratops, and Tyrannosaurus-Rex.

I imagined how amazing it must have been to live in the “Pre-Historic” age!

I soon learned that the earth was millions and millions of years old, and that the universe came into existence out of nothing as a result of the “Big Bang”!

Incredible, how everything evolved out of nothing!

Soon after I learned that in the old days men used to foolishly believe in God and creation, but that we now know better, and religion was for backward, superstitious people!  WOW – How smart I felt!

I was obviously of superior intellect as I totally bought into this ridiculous theory that was presented to me as factual!

My Scientific God didn’t have answers

As I approached my early 20’s, I was troubled and confused with my relationships with people and life in general, I knew I was missing something, but wasn’t sure what it was. The world seemed to be a little crazy, and I sometimes acted crazy, and wasn’t sure why I could behave normally most of the time, but have these lapses of character.

I looked for answers in the world, but after all, what can we expect, we were just evolved animals!

The foundations of my learned belief system (Darwinism) were failing me. It was then I received a gift given to my by my brother Joey – a Gideon’s Bible.

Fell Down Like the Berlin Wall

I had never read the Bible before and was amazed when I read the first verse which reads:

Gen 1:1 “ In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth”

I knew immediately that this was true, and sensed that God had showed me this through His kindness, it was like the Berlin wall was knocked down in my mind, and I knew at last I had a taste of absolute truth. This encounter with the Word of God helped me to understand Sin and why I and others acted the way we do, and also about the true time-line of the Earth, and how humans are Sacred, and not just mammals evolved from bugs!

The exquisite design of the universe and the incredible array of creatures on Earth of course couldn’t have been a result of random events evolving from nothing! Just as a tornado hitting a junkyard couldn’t possibly cause the creation of a brand new car, so some explosion no one saw could not have created this infinitely complex universe and this amazing Earth and it’s crown jewel – Man.

Science Promotes Fables

Of the many new and wonderful truths I learned from God’s word is that all men are liars, and God alone is true. This became apparent as I began to understand that evolutionary theory is just that – a theory! Just a very glorious lie. And a pretty bad one at that, but it’s promoted as if it is absolute truth – by the authority of science.

But where did science gain this authority? Clearly to me at least this has nothing to do with science, but it is the religion of replacing God with science, and science creates its own gospel or religion which is presented as absolute truth! This precedent of false science as “God” has begun to dominate the world since Charles Darwin wrote his “theory” back in 1860.

Many godless philosophers began to read the writings of Darwin and incorporated them into their own thinking such as Karl Marx and Adolph Hitler, (who also just happened to be a strict VEGETARIAN!)

If indeed Darwinism was true than the Survival of the Fittest is the real principle of life. So the logical extension of this theory is that certain people are more fit to live than others. The Aryan Master race concept used by the Nazi party in Germany is founded in this false doctrine.

Eugenics was a natural outgrowth of the new Darwinist religion, since man is no longer created in the image of God, and are just like other animals, then of course it makes sense to breed them like horses or dogs and get rid of the “less fit” or defective babies!

the following is a definition of Eugenics-

Eugenics is the study and practice of selective breeding applied to humans

Eugenics was widely popular in the early decades of the 20th century, but has largely fallen into disrepute after having become associated with Nazi Germany. Since the postwar period, both the public and the scientific communities have associated eugenics with Nazi abuses, such as enforced racial hygiene, human experimentation, and the extermination of “undesired” population groups. However, developments in genetic, genomic, and reproductive technologies at the end of the 20th century have raised many new questions and concerns about the meaning of eugenics and its ethical and moral status in the modern era.

Dr. Price Defeats the Nazi Eugenics

Although this great truth is not widely known today, Dr. Weston Price, the father of clinical nutrition, proved that in order to improve the human gene pool, proper nutrition was necessary , not racial profiling!

Dr Weston Price was influenced by Darwinism and genetics. And early on he, like many of his class and educational background, was an advocate of eugenics, although he had abandoned it by the early 1930s. He came to believe that God through nature had established laws that each species has to follow to avoid degeneration. In a speech to fellow congregants at his Cleveland church in 1929, Price states:

“I believe that science has done more to help us believe in God in the last few
years than religion has done within the last fifty years.”


The problem is that the true science that Dr. Price promoted is in conflict with the fantasy science that many in the modern world promote. And facts and science don’t matter when you have a religious belief that must be protected at all cost.

Eugenics Evoles into Planned Parenthhood and the Abortion Movement

Evolutionary Theory and Cholesterol Theory

Starting in the beginning of the 20th century, fake food manufacturers’ started to put forth the idea that saturated fats were unhealthy. This concept was a natural outgrowth of companies wanting to sell cheap vegetable oils instead of healthy fats like butter and lard. This fantasy science was furthered with the work of Ancel Keys and the highly controversial Seven Countries Study. This was a very manipulated study and yet is still the basis of the pseudo-health principle, that saturated fats cause disease!

With this first of many “fake scientific studies” almost always paid for by parties who had a stake in promoting cholesterol as evil, the so-called “scientific community” was up and running with this new Low-Fat God! Although there is no scientific proof of any kind to show a health benefit to cutting back on cholesterol, Butter has now become the Great SATAN! And Lard is a four-letter word you don’t say too loud in public!

Global Warming??

Whenever we see or hear about what’s really going on in the food supply, somehow it never quite makes it into the mainstream media. This is the same mechanism that squashes information about the Eugenics agenda and of course Creation concepts. Lately we have seen this bad science policy also applied to Global Warming, another very questionable concept that has used science as religion to push an agenda that is more concerned with the planet than the people on the planet. This is also a Darwinist doctrine, as the highest value on the planet are not the plants or animals but the humans, created in the likeness and image of God!

Just as many scientists today have uncovered evidence about the fraudulent nature of the Global Warming Theory, so Dr. Weston Price had uncovered incredible scientific proof that the cholesterol theory is not true, and that the nutrients found only in cholesterol are the most important to human health. His research puts to rest the cholesterol theory, the eugenics theory, and of course if you still think that lightning hit a mud puddle and created the universe, you may want to watch this Ben Stein Video

I can relate to Ben Stein and the scientists he discovered were being ostracized for trying to examine the evidence, just as we here at Liberation Wellness are trying to examine the evidence for real food.

Witch Doctor Medicine has Replaced the Church

  • “Physicians have taken the place of priests;
  • vaccination plays the same initiatory role as baptism, and is accompanied by the same threats and fears;
  • the search for health has replaced the quest for salvation;
  • the fight against disease has replaced the fight against sin;
  • eradication of viruses has taken the place of exorcising demons;
  • the hope of physical immortality (cloning, genetic engineering) has been substituted for the hope of eternal life;
  • pills have replaced the sacrament of bread and wine;
  • donations to cancer research take precedence over donations to the church;
  • a hypothetical universal vaccine could save humanity from all its illnesses, as the Savior has saved the elect from all its sins;
  • the medical power has become the government’s ally, as was the Catholic Church in the past;
  • “charlatans” are persecuted today as “heretics” were yesterday;
  • dogmatism rules out promising alternative medical theories;
  • the same absence of individual responsibility is now found in medicine, as previously in the Christian religion;
  • patients are alienated from their bodies, as sinners used to be from their souls.”—Olivier Clerc

Origin of the Liberation Diet aka Kevin’s Program

When I first began to realize that the nutrition protocols I was taught were wrong, I was already a person who did not trust science falsely so called. I had already been fooled and mislead for many years by bad science masquerading as truth, so it didn’t take long for me to conclude ”something’s not right about this low-fat, high-carb, eat many small meals a day, drink a lot of water, plenty of fiber, soy is wonderful, health program.”

I didn’t put my faith in it. I realized the pharmaceutical industry doesn’t love me – or have a wonderful plan for my life.

This is how I was able to get a jump-start into true health with the Liberation Diet!

Looking back on it, again God in His kindness showed me these truths to help me and others in their life. We always like to take credit, but any wisdom I seem to have is given by my designer, God.

How Long?

With the USDA again releasing a food pyramid that recommends even lower fat and higher carbohydrate ratios in the diet, when farmers are constantly being harassed and threatened for selling fresh real milk to people who are just trying keep themselves and their families healthy, when an well-respected Medical Doctor questions the necessity of so many vaccines, and has his medical license removed, and these are just the current bad events!

you might ask the question, how much longer is God going to put up with this?

It’s the Sign of the Times

Posted by Kevin Brown on March 13, 2010

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 tdoctorruth 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 wRawNoSundayhen 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!

Study fails to link saturated fat, heart disease

Study fails to link saturated fat, heart disease

Amy Norton
Thu Feb 4, 2010 11:19am EST

// // //

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – The saturated fat found mainly in meat and dairy products has a bad reputation, but a new analysis of published studies finds no clear link between people’s intake of saturated fat and their risk of developing heart disease.

Health

Research has shown that saturated fat can raise blood levels of “bad” LDL cholesterol, and elevated LDL is a risk factor for heart disease and stroke. Because of this, experts generally advise people to limit their intake of fatty meat, butter and full-fat dairy.

The American Heart Association (AHA) suggests that adults get no more than 7 percent of their daily calories from the fat; for someone who eats 2,000 calories a day, that translates into fewer than 16 grams of saturated fat per day.

But in the new analysis, which combined the results of 21 previous studies, researchers found no clear evidence that higher saturated fat intakes led to higher risks of heart disease or stroke.

The findings, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, may sound like good news for steak lovers, but a past AHA president cautioned against “over interpreting” the results.

“No one is saying that some saturated fat is going to harm you…people should enjoy their food,” said Dr. Robert H. Eckel, a professor of medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Denver.

But, he pointed out, many studies have shown that dietary saturated fat can raise people’s cholesterol, and the new analysis is not going to change recommendations to keep saturated fat intake in check.

Perhaps more importantly, though, Eckel said that the thinking on diet and heart health is moving away from a focus on single nutrients and toward “dietary patterns.”

A number of studies have linked the so-called Western diet to greater heart disease risks; that diet pattern is defined as one high in red and processed meats and saturated fats — but also high in sweets and other refined carbohydrates like white bread.

On the other hand, diets described as Mediterranean or “prudent” — generally high in fruits and vegetables, whole grains, fish, unsaturated fats from vegetable oil — may help lower the risk of heart disease and stroke.

It’s that type of eating pattern that people should strive for, Eckel said.

For the current study, researchers led by Dr. Ronald M. Krauss, of the Children’s Hospital Oakland Research Center in California, pooled data from 21 studies that included a total of nearly 348,000 adults.

Participants, who were generally healthy to start, were surveyed about their diet habits and then followed for anywhere from five to 23 years. Over that time, 11,000 developed heart disease or suffered a stroke.

Overall, Krauss and his colleagues found, there was no difference in the risks of heart disease and stroke between people with the lowest and highest intakes of saturated fat.

The analysis included what are known as epidemiological studies — where the researchers looked for associations between people’s reported diet habits and their risk of heart disease and stroke. These types of studies have inherent limitations, like depending on people’s recollection of their eating habits.

In addition, the study could not address whether saturated fat intake has different effects on heart disease and stroke risk for different age groups. Nor could it look at the effects of replacing saturated fat in the diet with polyunsaturated fats — like those found in vegetable oils and fish — or with carbohydrates.

Some other studies, the researchers write, have shown that consuming polyunsaturated fats in place of saturated ones may lower heart disease risk.

SOURCE: American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, online January 13, 2010.

Comment – Almost the whole truth here, no implication that saturated fat makes you healthy, and of couse the ADA has to dispute the findings, however we are at least getting a half truth.

AUTISM – Ethan’s Story

Public vs. Private

Posted by Paul Ericson on January 31, 2010

The recent court decision in Ontario, Canada that acquitted Michael Schmidt has profound implications both in Canada and the United States. The judge ruled that the government cannot interfere with private citizens and private contracts without a compelling state interest to do so. And of course in Michael’s case, there is no compelling state interest since a cow share is a private contract between two private citizens.

Food protection laws have their origins in the early 20th century when the government determined that to protect the public health and safety, it needed to control the various kinds of “persons” it created. In the case of these new laws, the “persons” include corporations and other artificial or fictitious entities that handled food. Because the government created these “persons,” they have both the duty and the right to do whatever is necessary to regulate, control or oversee them.

However, the government did not create “the people”. We are neither corporations nor any other artificial or fictitious entities. We are natural people and private citizens. Both the United States’ and most state Constitutions protect our rights. When we are involved with private, not public sales, the state has no compelling state interest. This distinction is critical to preservation of our basic rights as free citizens. For if there is no difference between private and public, as those in government would like us to believe, then the government can determine, as it sees fit, that anything is public. With this interpretation, nothing is really private and the Constitution become irrelevant as the state can thus set rules without any consideration for our individual rights or liberties. And considering the extent that corporate interests have infiltrated regulatory agencies and influence legislators, this is indeed a terrifying notion.

The Schimdt decision says that the government has no authority to regulate a cow share since it’s a private matter. No advertising is used to attract new “customers”. In fact, there are no customers as the raw milk is not actually sold, more importantly, the ownership of the milk never changes. The owner of the cow is the consumer of its milk–which is legal in Ontarion as in most jurisdictions. Some contend that cow shares present a risk to public health and public safety. This attitude misunderstands the fundamental principles of trust in a commercial context. Farmers running a cow share are extremely concerned about the health and safety of their members and have to develop standards that exceed those of government inspected and regulated programs. Remember that regulated food sickens and kills people every year and those responsible have millions to spend on lawyers and public relations campagins. And virtually no company has been put out of business for sickening or killing it’s customers.

Instead, cow share owners must trust their producer and in return the producer has to keep the food safe or chance losing their livelihood. And it’s not from a law suit, but from a fleeing of customers. But the producer also has to look their cow share owners in the eye every time they hand over food, so there is constant pressure on the producer. When you’re at the grocery store, you can’t look into the eye of the person that produced the food.

No greater incentive for safety, security and accountability exists than having to look every customer in the eye with every sale or to put your family name on every food item. If they fail to provide safe, quality food, at best, we’re out of business. And exactly how does regulation provide more safety, security or accountability? The recent major problems with tomatoes, peppers, ground beef, lead paint, etc., all regulated, controlled and/or inspected by the government, does little to raise one’s comfort level that our health and safety are in good hands with the government.

Anyone who believes that government is the answer needs to ask, what has the government actually done well? What problem has it solved? Poverty? Education? Health care? Energy? Illegal immigration? Pick anything. The issue is bigger than raw milk. It’s bigger than agriculture. The whole system is sick. The government has a lawful role for sure. But it’s a sad commentary when we say we trust politicians, bureaucrats and their associated special interests, more than our neighbors. The real food movement shows that we need to rebuild communities and relationships. Local farmers and their customers responsibly exercising their rights are the nucleus of that process.

PROPOSED HEALTH CARE LEGISLATION THREATENS ALTERNATIVE MED AND PATIENTS RIGHTS

Posted by Kevin Brown on January 20, 2010

This action alert is a summary of a document prepared by Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez, who practices alternative, non-toxic cancer therapies in New York.  His longer essay is posted at www.dr-gonzalez.com/healthcareJan2010.htm.  Please read carefully and contact your elected representatives about the unacceptable measures contained in these bills.

Sincerely,
Sally Fallon Morell
President

The current health care legislation, both the Senate version and the earlier House bill, present enormous threats to medicine as a whole, medical innovation in general, and alternative medicine in particular.  It is absolutely critical that we all keep pressure on our elected Senators and Representatives, expressing our opposition to any of the bills as they currently exist.

They are a real, creeping danger to those who practice and benefit from unconventional medicine, since if the regulations become law, physicians may be forced to abide by stringent federal regulations regarding acceptable medical practice, and in the Senate bill, patients, under threat of financial penalties, will be forced to proceed with treatments mandated by the government.

ACTION TO TAKE
You can contact your Senators and House Representatives simply by Googling “US Senate” or, for the Representatives, “US House of Representatives.”  The sites will guide you simply to your particular elected official, and the various means of contact.  Faxes, direct phone calls, and e-mails all work.  It is important to be proactive at once.

TALKING POINTS
1.  The various health care bills all make provision for a draconian centralized group of medical experts who would decide, for each and every condition – and even for each and every patient – which diagnostic tests and which therapy the doctor can prescribe.  This presents a particular danger to those physicians practicing alternative or nutritional medicine, and the patients who seek such treatment.  In the House bill, A PHYSICIAN WHO IGNORES THE DICTATES OF THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE WOULD BE LIABLE TO CRIMINAL PENALTIES.

2.  The Senate bill not only includes potential rules and regulations for doctors, it creates unscientific rules and regulations for patients, to be followed under threat of financial penalty.  For example, the SENATE BILL PROVIDES THAT ALL AMERICANS WITH “HIGH CHOLESTEROL” WILL BE REQUIRED TO LOWER THEIR CHOLESTEROL TO “NORMAL” LEVELS OR FACE FINANCIAL PENALTIES in the form of significantly higher premium costs for the health care.  This opens the door to mandated blood pressure and blood sugar levels, and mandated interventions such as mammograms, colonoscopies and vaccinations.

3.  Doctors would not only take their marching orders from the state, but would also work for the state, charged as it would be with doling out payments according to its own system of acceptable medical practice and price controls.  This set-up would further discourage creative thinking, initiative and good old fashioned hard work, since doctors would no longer work for themselves.  And those doctors who work harder would not be paid more than those who work less.

4.  The proposed government-controlled health care system would prove financially untenable. The bureaucracy itself would consume enormous amounts of resources that would NOT go to medical facilities such as hospitals, or to patient care, or to medical research.  The Senate bill, if passed, would establish seventeen new major government programs, each requiring large staffs, facilities and expenditures that take money away from the actual purpose of health care reform, that is, health care.

How Do We Cure Preventable Illnesses?

Posted by Sadiqua Hamdan on December 30, 2009

How Do We Cure Preventable Illnesses?

This sounds like a silly question, but, “How do we cure preventable illnesses?”  As Michael Pollan points out in the NY Times article, Big Food vs. Big Insurance, three-quarters of health care spending now goes to treat “preventable chronic diseases.”  Why aren’t we focused on prevention?

Are we stupid?

Not disciplined enough to follow a healthy diet?

Not working out as much as we like?

Think buying organic is too expensive and not worth the extra money?

Rely on technology to take care of us?

Bad genes?

Stress?

Environment?

Don’t believe that nutrition can really prevent disease?

Drive Thru Nutrition

It can’t possibly be that we’re a society dependent on drive-thru nutrition.  It’s a cliché that symbolizes the “instant health” recipe: just add fluorinated water, prescription meds, vaccines and foods fortified with synthetic vitamins, antibiotics and hormones.  We spend less time and money on food than ever before – we’d rather have meals that are already portioned (to count the calories) and take less than 5 minutes in the microwave or drive-thru lane.  Americans spent 25% of their income on food in 1930′s and today’s figure is closer to 10%.

Healthcare vs. Nutrition

Diseases have skyrocketed in the last 60 years.  We’re paying for it now by spending billions of dollars on diabetes, heart disease, and obesity.  Is healthcare the answer? If every American had health insurance, would it change the fact that we’re simply treating symptoms?  We rely on technology and sophisticated devices to help detect, diagnose and treat these symptoms in their early stages.

Yet, there aren’t enough people who believe that proper nutrition is the answer to our high medical bills.  Few people are willing to take simple yet effective measures in improving their health.  Taking the time to soak grains overnight, eating unpasteurized butter and eliminating packaged foods with preservatives just seems like too much work.  Telling someone you purchased organic meat doesn’t mean much – it’s thought of as a waste of money.  Mentioning that you eat a diet high in good saturated fats throws up a red flag (because it gives them the wrong impression that it will lead to high cholesterol or heart attack). Those who use aspartame think it’s a sweetener similar to stevia.  One can cause serious side effects, while the other has been around for centuries.  Clearly, marketers in America have done a good job at promoting their version of what is healthy.

I’m surprised no one has come up with the idea of sprinkling minerals and antibiotics on top of fat-free double chocolate cake.  Eating a piece a day isn’t going to boost your immune system.

Ultimately, we need to take personal responsibility for what we eat.  But we need accurate and full disclosure of what is being offered to us.  If a cereal box receives honorable mention by its marketing department and CEO for its ability to reduce cholesterol in six weeks, with no mention of type 2 diabetes as a potential side effect, then I have the right to be pissed off.

Today’s blog was inspired by Michael Pollan’s article, “Big Food vs. Big Insurance,” which was published in the NY Times on September 9, 2009.  Michael Pollan is a contributing writer for the Times magazine and a professor of journalism at the University of California Berkeley.  He is the author of “In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto.”
