Friends -

With her insistence that human food should have a much higher nutrient content than corporate industrialized farms are able to provide, Sally Fallon has awakened families all over North America to the fact that if they want to live full and happy lives, they won't find the nutrition they need in packages at the grocery store and are going to have to put some effort into acquiring the quality of food that only small, owner-operated farms can provide. With the large network of "Weston A. Price groups" she has established in the U.S. and in Canada, she has undoubtedly saved more family farms in the last 10 years than any other person or organization. The well documented knowledge she shares makes both farms and families more healthy. Speaking from my own experience as a recovering vegetarian, hearing Sally Fallon talk is likely to change your life forever! This is a lecture you will not want to miss!

(In my opinion, this should be a mandatory lecture for anyone with children under 12.)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SALLY FALLON
Traditional Food and Nutrition
Wednesday February 18, 7:00 P.M.
Shepherdstown, WV

Iournalist, chef, nutrition researcher, homemaker and community activist, Sally Fallon will speak at the Shepherdstown, WV at 7:00 P.M. on Wednesday, February 18. The presentation is free to the public, but seating is by reservation only. Contact Allan Balliett at info@freshandlocalcsa.com or (304) 876-3382 for more information and to make your reservations..There is no charge for this event.

Ms Fallon is the author of "Nourishing Traditions: The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats". This well-researched, thought-provoking guide to traditional foods contains a startling message: Animal fats and cholesterol are not villains but vital factors in the diet, necessary for normal growth, proper function of the brain and nervous system, protection from disease and optimum energy levels.

Sally's lifelong interest in the subject of nutrition began in the early 1970s when she read Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by Weston A. Price. Called the "Charles Darwin of Nutrition," Price traveled the world over studying healthy primitive populations and their diets. The unforgettable photographs contained in his book document the beautiful facial structure and superb physiques of isolated groups consuming only whole, natural foods.

Price noted that all of these diets contained a source of good quality animal fat, which provided numerous factors necessary for the full expression of our genetic potential and optimum health. Mrs. Fallon applied the principles of the Price research to the feeding of her own children, and proved for herself that a diet rich in animal fats, and containing the protective factors in old fashioned foodstuffs like cod liver oil, liver and eggs, make for sturdy cheerful children with a high immunity to illness

Now is its second edition, Nourishing Traditions has stimulated the public health and medical communities to take a new look at the importance of traditional foods and preparation techniques, and to reexamine the many myths about saturated fats and cholesterol. The book places special emphasis on the feeding of babies and children to ensure optimal development during their crucial growing years.

Mrs. Fallon and her colleague Dr. Enig are frequent contributors to holistic health publications. Their work is widely respected for providing accurate and understandable explanations of complicated subjects in the field of nutrition and health. Recent articles include "Tripping Lightly Down the Prostaglandin Pathways," "Dem Bones-Do High Protein Diets Cause Osteoporosis?" "Vitamin A Vagary," "Vitamin A Knavery," "Why Butter is Better" and "A Campaign for Real Milk." "Soy Products for Dairy Products?-Not So Fast," an exposé of the dangers of modern soy-based foods, has generated intense controversy in the health food industry. In addition, Mrs. Fallon served as editor for The Cholesterol Myths by Uffe Ravnskov, MD, PhD. (www.newtrendspublishing.com)

Mrs. Fallon is founding president of the Weston A. Price Foundation (www.westonaprice.org) and editor of the Foundation's quarterly magazine. She is also the founder of "A Campaign for Real Milk" (www.realmilk.com).

This presentation has been organized by Allan Balliett and the Fresh and Local Community Supported Agriculture project (CSA) (www.FreshandLocalCSA.com ) and Gardening for the Future. (www.gardeningforthefuture.com) to promote awareness of the high value of locally grown foods.

NEXT MONTH: Grass-based Dairy expert Jerry Brunetti talks about how what he knows about the value of locally grown food has saved his life and how you can use this information to make your life more full and your county more beautiful.
