If the world were listening … and by world I mean middle income North America, I would say that we live in a time where YOU are the one that will make the difference in your life.

I would say that Walmart food is just not going to cut it, its not going to give you the basic nutritional make up to ensure you can fight off environmental pathogens, allow you to give people hugs and not worry about catching a cold or the flu.

I would say that we no longer live in a world where you can trust that your local butcher has the best product and if you buy there you don’t think have to question the quality.

I would say the days are over where buying things from the store… any store will not guarantee you much –except for a trip to the store next door… the pharmacy, and THAT also wont guarantee you much except for temporary pain relief and liver and kidney failure.

I would say that your doctor is not someone who is going to give you all the secrets to health, he sees thousands of patients because his interest is his bottom line, and he therefore is not watching your body and checking in as necessary.

I would also say that optimal health is not a place you get to, and that continuous awareness of ones body is essential due to the intricacies of health, how emotional state, stress, environment, believe systems, etc can affect our health

I would say that the idea of trusting big business is a bad idea. That they do not necessarily know what’s best for us, they know what’s best for their bottom line, follow the money

I would say what our grandparents knew broccoli and carrots to be is not what broccoli and carrots are today. They have 50% less micro-nutrients than they did just 20 years ago.

I would say that not having to go to the doctor or to the hospital does NOT suggest you are well.

I would also say that popping a whole bunch of “natural” pills or drinking shakes of mono nutrient composition will not be a sustainable solution to health, that we need to look at the land, and the water, and our relationships to those things – our food and where it comes from is the only sustainable solution – we cant ignore it for much longer

I would say that if one really considered what entered ones body…that they wouldn’t inflict that sort of abuse on even a stranger

I would say obesity epidemic is not related to an over consumption of fat, but that sugar is the culprit, I would say that random school shootings are not so random and that we have a society that is stressed out, anxious, running from pain and imbalanced due to the food they are eating…

I would say the time is now, that we start to question what we are eating, that we start to ask the questions, that we start building relationships again, to our food, and to our neighbors and to those that GROW our food, because when there is relationship, one is invested, and one has the freedom to ask the questions necessary and be a participatory part in the production of ones food… the food that will not only give you energy,  but it will heal you, it will allow you to have stable brain function, it will create community (something that is so obviously missing in a world of hyper connectivity and yet so much disconnection on a human level)

That’s what a small town, farmers daughter, who grew up believing the world was on her side, and operated in the world like optimal health was our right…. This is what I would say to the world…. If they were listening

Some highlights – we checked out my dad as he was finishing up milking, just to see the lovely ladies that would be providing their services for our homemade ice cream treat at the end of the night.

It was an authentic farm family dinner experience (well kinda – generally we don’t consume wine at every meal… gosh that would be fun wouldn’t it!!), So everyone pitched in to set the table, count out forks and spoons and plates and bowls and chairs!

There was such a wonderful group of people, combining people of all various backgrounds and geographies together because they all love the food they eat and the farmers they come from (heheh we love them back!)

Honestly I can’t tell you TOOO much or you won’t come to the next one – if nothing else the star of the show was the food (and not because I did a particularly good job… if I do say so myself, but because when you start with good ingredients well naturally excellent food will follow!!)

I do hope you come to the next one, not sure if it’ll be cocktail hour with the farmers daughter, or if it’ll be random cool homemade stuff you never thought you could make at home, or if it’ll be fermenting and how its GREAT for you! I can’t wait till the summer ones… definitely going to have to do a garden party/ campfire party!

Bring your friends, come hang out!

Cheers
