The Humboldt County Peak Oil Action Group invites the community to a special program, “The health of Traditional Diets vs. the Ravages of Modern Foods,” on Tuesday, May 6, from 8 to 9 p.m., in the Senior Room at the Arcata Community Center, 321 Community Park Way, Arcata.
Stephanie Alexandre, co-owner of the Alexandre Family Eco-Dairy and chapter leader in the local Weston A. Price Foundation will present a program about traditional foods with 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.
The Weston A. Price Foundation is a nonprofit organization that disseminates the research of nutrition pioneer, Dr. Weston Price, whose studies of isolated non-industrialized peoples established the parameters of human health and determined the optimum characteristics of human diets. Dr. Price’s research demonstrated that humans achieve perfect physical form and perfect health generation after generation only when they consume nutrient-dense whole foods and the vital fat-soluble activators found exclusively in animal fats.
The Foundation is dedicated to restoring nutrient-dense foods to the human diet through education, research, and activism. It supports a number of movements that contribute to this objective including accurate nutrition instruction, organic and biodynamic farming, pasture-feeding of livestock, CSA farms, honest and informative labeling, prepared parenting and nurturing therapies.
