 2015 Northwest Permaculture Convergence in Eugene!

The 2015 Northwest Permaculture Convergence will take place August 28, 
29 and 30 at the River Road Recreation Center, 3 miles northwest of 
downtown Eugene, Oregon. The theme this year is 'Greening our 
Neighborhoods with Permaculture'

This year's Convergence will be in a suburban neighborhood and will 
feature site tours to see many nearby examples of home-scale 
permaculture. There will be plenary sessions, panels, presentations and 
hands-on projects in the neighborhood. There will be an outdoor Expo 
that will include a Kids' Zone, a self-reliant skillshare area, 
educational exhibits and green businesses.

Out-of-town visitors will have access to home-stays and camping in the 
neighborhood. Participants are encouraged to minimize the use of cars. 
Like most of our events, food and childcare are included; to do so we 
ask that everyone volunteer for 2 hours during the event and bring bulk 
food items to share.

Keynote speakers (and other plenaries) are an example to the breadth of 
discussion we'll have on the neighborhoods theme:
Ravi Logan & Jason Schreiner- Multi Layer Overview of Greening River 
Road Neighborhood
Tom Allen- How Sustainable North East Seattle Developed
Jacqueline Cramer- Creating a Community Food Forest
David Zhang- The Culture in Permaculture
Chief Coker- Understanding Diversity not Defining it: The 
socio-political perspectives needed to fully utilize permaculture as a 
tool for successful cultivation of our new paradigm.
Abel Kloster-Watershed Scale Permaculture: Economy and Community in the 
Rural Landscape
Sarabel Eisenfeld- Cycles that Nourish Ourselves and Our Land: 
Reflections from Fostervillage Eco*Ville Community, Portland
Jan Spencer-Allies and Assets

Nourishing Traditions: The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct
Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats Paperback – April 8, 2003
by Sally Fallon (Author), Mary Enig (Author)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0967089735?ref_=cm_wl_huc_continue

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 Fallon dispels the myths of the current low-fat fad in this
practical, entertaining guide to a can-do diet that is both nutritious and
delicious.

Nourishing Traditions will tell you:

Why your body needs old fashioned animal fats

Why butter is a health food

How high-cholesterol diets promote good health

How saturated fats protect the heart

How rich sauces help you digest and assimilate your food

Why grains and legumes need special preparation to provide optimum benefits

About enzyme-enhanced food and beverages that can provide increased
energy and vitality

Why high-fiber, lowfat diets can cause vitamin and mineral deficiencies

Topics include the health benefits of traditional fats and oils (including
butter and coconut oil); dangers of vegetarianism; problems with modern soy
foods; health benefits of sauces and gravies; proper preparation of whole
grain products; pros and cons of milk consumption; easy-to-prepare enzyme
enriched condiments and beverages; and appropriate diets for babies and
children.

A Review:

The 'most helpful' review for this book here at Amazon questions the
reliance by this book on Dr. Weston Price's work, simply because he was a
dentist. Fair enough, but the smart thing would be to see what he said for
yourself. Instead of relying on Sally Fallon's word for why Dr. Price's
work was so important, I went and read his book, Nutrition and Physical
Degeneration, myself. I actually checked out one printed in the 1940's from
a university library, to avoid any reprint changes he may or may not have
approved.

His work is fascinating. He first sought to understand why isolated people
on traditional, unprocessed diets had such remarkable teeth, dental arches,
and resistance to disease, particularly tuberculosis. Instead of focusing
on the traditional methods used in medicine that seek to cure medical
problems after the fact, he was out to find out a way to prevent the
problems in the first place. What a novel idea. What he discovered was that
traditional diets of isolated peoples maintained the teeth and health of
these people in a dramatic fashion. He also found that within a generation
of being exposed to processed food diets, these people began to experience
the same health problems we have now. Why rely on his work, which dates
some 70 years old? Because this same research can't be done today, there
just aren't enough people that are still untouched by civilizaton and
processed diets.

Back to this book. I believe much of what Sally Fallon has to say is right
on the money. She was wise to heavily rely on what Dr. Price found and then
has provided much additional information and some good recipies to go along
with it. I agree with some of the other reviews here that state that
implementing much of what she suggests into your diet will be a challenge.
Our society and the giant food manufacturers have made it so, because
that's how they earn a profit. Any way you slice it, eating healthy is a
lot more work for you individually because you have to rely on yourself to
prepare fresh unprocessed foods. But it's worth doing, and if you take bits
and pieces and start to implement them gradually you and your family (and
your future offspring) will be much better off because of it.
