Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 FOR THE RECORD This rawfood group is to support the raw vegan living foods lifestyle and anything you have read lately that recommends eating meat or raw fish should be disregarded.

WESTON PRICE IS SUSPECT Anytime someone mentions the name Weston Price it is a red flag to me. Meat eaters just love the info/recipe book called Nourishing Traditions supposedly based upon the work of Weston Price. The book Nourishing Traditions, has perpetuated the myth of the superiority of animal protein as well as the value of cultured vegetables. Cultured vegetables are so heavily salted they cannot be viewed as healthful or " a transition food. " I can't imagine soaking and saturating vegetables in salt and then letting them ferment. Yuk! I can't imagine an animal in the wild eating such salty " food " either. As soon as someone starts quoting Dr. Weston Price their information is suspect to me and here's why...(quote--author unknown) Background on the Author of Nourishing Traditions; Sally Fallon " The Weston A. Price Foundation was founded by Sally Fallon. Sally Fallon has a Bachelors Degree in English from Sanford University and a Masters Degree in English from UCLA. In addition to founding the Weston A. Price Foundation, Sally Fallon also serves as the editor of the foundation's quarterly magazine. She became interested in nutrition in the 1970s when she read a book by Weston A. Price called Nutrition & Physical Degeneration. She bases her claims specifically on this resource alone! Price’s book asserts that humans need a rich source of animal fat to be healthy. Sally Fallon teamed up with Mary Enig to produce a cookbook called Nourishing Traditions, pub 1996, that promotes the use of animal fats. Sally Fallon’s foundation also encourages a reexamination of what the two women consider to be “myths” about saturated fats and cholesterol.

In ten months I have LOST 66 excess pounds and I have GAINED radiant health!)

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Hi Jenny, I took a class on the Hallejuah Diet, and although I am not 85% raw at this time I continue to work on it. Good for you! Tonya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
