As a Chapter Leader I frequently receive emails from people and organizations that want me to pass some information on to you, our members. Below is one I received in response to the DVD we showed in June: “Dental Obstacles to Mental and Emotional Health” “How Malocclusions, Failed Root Canals and Other “Dominant Foci” Chronically Undermine Our Mental and Emotional Well-Being” by Louisa Williams, ND
Louisa Williams DVD presentation
Hi Lisa and Victoria,
I am on the yahoo group mail and noticed your newsletter for June. I was at the WAPF conference and have studied with Louisa for a few years now. Her presentation was amazing. I wanted to let you know that if people feel that they might have focal infection – dental or tonsil – or scar interference field issues going on – that I could test them to find out what and where and help them with dealing with those issues – feel free to give them my number or email.

Save The Dates For The One Field Meal–August 30, Deck Family Farm
August 30th
6:30-8:30 pm
At the Deck Family Farm, 25362 High Pass Road , Junction City
This year’s One Field Meal will be at the Deck Family Farm outside of Junction City. It is shaping up to be extraordinary. Brendan Mahaney of Belly Restaurant will be preparing barbacoa. For those unfamiliar with this traditional Mexican repast, get ready for a taste treat. Barbacoa features lamb, goat, and cow’s head cooked underground all day long. Cheeks and jowls of the cow are specialty flavors.
According to Wikipedia, barbeque owes its roots to barbacoa. The cuisine entered southwestern United States by way of Texas, which had formerly been a part of northern Mexico. This is your chance to experience true American tastes prepared by one of Eugene’s foremost chefs. Slow Food Eugene’s One Field Meal will be Restoring America’s Food Traditions.
Live Music by Etouffee!
Proceeds to the School Garden Project of Lane County.
Adults $25
Kids $5
Tickets available at Longs Meat Market and Newman’s Fish Market. |

It’s Time For Lunch-Campaign To Promote Real Food In Schools. Slow Food USA is leading a Time for Lunch campaign to promote real food in the schools.
What is real food?
Real food is good at every link in the chain. It tastes good, it’s good for us, it’s good for the people who grow it, it’s good for our country and it’s good for the planet. Please add your signature to the petition that says:
“I believe that change can’t wait: It’s time to provide America’s children with REAL FOOD at school.”
Read the platform statement, which explains the actions Congress must take to provide America’s children with real food at school. The petition and other materials will be used in a public display of support during this year’s reauthorization of the Child Nutrition Act. By adding your name, you’re also agreeing to receive regular updates from Slow Food USA. |
