Wise Tradition Beginner Video Series

Posted on by

Healthy meals start with fresh ingredients from a source you can trust. Use whole foods and get curious about how your food is produced. Learn how to make bone broth for fabulous soups and stews. If possible, grow some of your own food.

Yeah, yeah, I know I am on holiday. But I just couldn’t help but post these links to a new series of videos for newcomers to the Weston A Price Foundation done by Sarah Pope. If you are having trouble deciding which video to watch first, I would recommend Tips for Limited Time and Limited Budget. I did a very similar posting to this video a while back. One note about the video. We are fortunate that grassfed beef can be really inexpensive here in Kamloops. Just ask the rancher for an animal that has always been on pasture. You will have to buy the whole animal from the rancher and send the animal to a local butcher such as, Kam Lake View Meats. If cost is an issue, split the meat with your friends and family.

Here is the letter from Sally Fallon Morell giving this early Christmas present to newcomers to nourishing traditional foods:

We are pleased to announce that the Wise Traditions Beginner Video Series is now complete and available for viewing by clicking the “Videos” tab in the header of the Weston A Price Foundation website!

Send someone a link to all or just one particular video. Thanks for sharing this information with anyone you can.

Weston A Price Foundation Urgent Raw Milk Action Alert

Posted on by

I received this Urgent Action Alert from the Weston A Price Foundation. They are requesting all Weston A Price Foundation members and people interested in food freedom to commence a letter writing campaign to mobilize against government interference with property ownership rights and food freedom. A sample letter can be found in the comment section of this posting:

Raw Milk Rally at the Legislature in Victoria, BC on November 23, 2011. Photo from Gordon Watson.

BACKGROUND
On Wednesday, September 28, 2010, the Ontario government won its appeal against biodynamic farmer, Michael Schmidt. The appeal reversed the former ruling, which confirmed cow share members? right to obtain raw milk products. Justice Peter Tetley rejected Schmidt?s argument that providing raw milk to cow share owners who are aware of any health risks was his legal right.

Schmidt has been fighting for the right to provide raw milk at his Grey County farm ever since it was raided by government officials in 1994. The recent ruling convicts Michael on 15 of 19 charges and reverses last year?s lower court decision to acquit him of all charges. This latest judicial ruling basically endorses governmental interference in property ownership rights and violates basic human rights to food freedom.

Since this ruling, Michael has embarked on a hunger strike and faces imminent danger of another raid to his farm, as do other farms that participate in Cow Share Canada. He feels that our movement is in great danger and we must act in unison now!

Michael?s urgent message: “We must mobilize our forces throughout Canada and the US with an enormous public outcry. We need to put relentless pressure on legislators in both countries?national, state and local?and also on health authorities through a massive letter-writing and call-in campaign. ?We also need to organize face-to-face meetings whenever possible. Canada desperately needs US support in these matters, so we encourage all US members to send messages to key Canadian contacts as well.”

ACTION TO TAKE
It is imperative that we organize to a much higher level. We need everyone in our movement to participate. We need:

  1. At the very least, all members (US and Canada) should write to Dalton McGuinty, Premier of Ontario. Submit an email or send a fax to 416.325.3745.
  2. US citizens to write letters and call local, state, and federal legislators in the U.S. and to write letters to Canadian members of the Provincial Parliament in Ontario and British Columbia listed in this alert.
  3. Canadian citizens to write letters to Canadian members of the Provincial Parliament in Ontario and British Columbia listed in this alert.
  4. All need to write letters and call your local health officials.

Michael is depending on us to back up his brave efforts for food freedom!

Cancer Is Serious Business: Free Video Viewing

Posted on by

This video link was posted on the Weston A Price Foundation leader’s board by Celeste Skousen, North Fulton County, GA. The video is about Dr. Burzynski, who has developed a very successful cancer treatment. Unfortunately, he has not received rewards or praise for his efforts. In fact, he has been persecuted and prosecuted by the state for healing people.

Due to overwhelming interest, the free access to the movie has been extended. The video is 1:48 minutes long. If you have cancer or know someone with cancer you will want to watch this video. Here is the official website to watch the movie. There is also an audio interview of Dr. Burzynski and Eric Merola(Director) with Dr. Oz. Please forward this link to other interested people.

School Food Fight

How do we get to the point where homemade treats can't be sold? Do you think governments should be involved in these types of decisions? Photo by Brittanya Beddington.

It is far better for a man to go wrong in freedom than to go right in chains.
Thomas Huxley

Angela Davis is the Brooklyn, NY Chapter Leader for the Weston A Price Foundation. She posted this disturbing information on the WAPF Leader’s Board. There is now a ban on homemade desserts at her local school. The reason behind this ban is there is no nutritional labeling on the homemade desserts telling how many grams of macro-nutrients it contains. Of course, processed foods from the Industrial Food System are allowed because the package states this type of data. Please read and weep at the US government’s wrong-headed approach to solving our society’s childhood obesity problem. Here is what The New York Times has to say about the issue.

Of course, this couldn’t happen in a school near you. Could it? After reading this posting I updated my own Funny Troubles with the local school system over nourishing traditional food and the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD).

Updated March 3, 2012: A preschooler in North Carolina, US had her homemade lunch–turkey and cheese sandwich, banana, potato chips, and apple juice–taken away because it wasn’t nutritious enough. It didn’t meet the new USDA guidelines. She was given chicken nuggets and the parents were given a bill for the meal. Read more about this story at Preschooler?s Homemade Lunch Replaced with Cafeteria ?Nuggets?. The USDA seems to have a bias toward processed foods with nutrition labeling!
