The first section of this DVD presentation would be a good introduction to someone who was new to the Weston A. Price Foundation principles. It is also a great refresher for people who want to be able to communicate the WAPF teachings with others. The later portion covers some fascinating in-depth information regarding recent vitamin testing of traditional foods.

“Introduction to the work of Dr. Price and discussion of the underlying characteristics of healthy traditional diets. Animal fats, properly prepared whole grains, enzyme-enriched foods and nourishing bone broths kept our ancestors healthy. Sally Fallon Morell, author of Nourishing Traditions, explains why these are vital factors for maintaining good health today. The first half hour begins with a presentation of Dr. Weston Price’s unforgettable photographs of healthy traditional peoples, Ms. Fallon explains the underlying principles in a variety of traditional diets, which conferred beauty, strength and complete freedom from disease on so-called primitive populations.“Honoring the Sacred Foods: Traditional peoples valued certain nutrient-dense foods for fertility, prevention of birth defects and optimal growth. Western palates find many of these foods difficult to accept. This lecture will explore the basic sacred foods, their usage and nutrient levels, with an emphasis on preparation techniques that make them acceptable to westerners–even children! The lecture will highlight fish roe, bone marrow, organ meats, insects, animal fats and fish liver oils.”

Sally Fallon Morell, MA, is founding president of The Weston A. Price Foundation and founder of A Campaign for Real Milk, Ms. Fallon lectures extensively around the world on issues of health and nutrition. She is a prolific writer of numerous articles and books and serves as editor of Wise Traditions, the quarterly journal of the Weston A. Price Foundation. In 1996, Ms. Fallon published the best-selling Nourishing Traditions (with Mary G. Enig, PhD), the cookbook that launched her career in alternative health.

We have had such interesting conversations before and after the last couple of DVDs that I have decided to offer more time for discussion. We will have the room available from 6:00 to 9:00. You are welcome to buy food downstairs in Market of Choice or (shh, don’t tell them I told you this) bring something from home to eat in the room.
