True living poetry... Growing up in multiple cultures, I remember as a young child realizing that wisdom, in what our societies have always referred to as primitive_ the wisdom one can find in primitive cultures has much to teach us all, if we are open to recognizing this truth. Beautiful pigments, beautiful life in nature, beautiful art full identity with one's environment; what good reason is there to grow up?
The cultural roots to which I refer in creating a variety-centered cuisine, come from influences having grown up living world-wide. Even so, my commitment to healthy foods no matter the cultural influence on the cuisine, remains consistent. For me, its organic all the way. This is just common-sense choice-making where choosing foods, and taking care of one's health in a nutritionally-centered approach is concerned. From the time I was very young, remembering rural neighbors and even our very own gardener tend to the gardens where we lived, it has always seemed very obvious. The less one puts into the soil that isn't already naturally there, the more alive one's foods taste! In fact, it was very common to hear one of the local community members identify the town where a baguette had been baked because the tastes of the soil were obvious in the grain used to make that bread!
Now as an adult in this country, when I find a company whose business practices go beyond alternative practices standards to include values close to my own heart, they are going to get my attention and more than likely, my business! That is Veritable Vegetable. Now that I know about them, and if I cannot find a local connection to them and their products then, their model will frame my more informed choices as I seek local businesses that I can access that practice standards of food quality, growing practices and employee care/empowerment, in like-manner!
Folks, the U.S. economy is in breakdown mode and this is actually very cool! It means everyone can let go of illusion once and for all, and return to simple steps that contribute to new breakthroughs. Breakthroughs for which we all on a soul-level, are really ready!
It has been thirty years since I lived there and about half as long since I've visted, but this video has it all in there. (That right: visted!) It's the food, the people, the country-side and the music, NOT the humidity, the bugs OR the politics!
Materialists WILL and are decry/(ing) this movie, like well-trained DOGS!! Yet, if materialists will go here and learn about the cycle of reusing materials in more healthy ways that ARE being developed, then maybe slowly, the average materialist will begin to understand stuff is still possible to attain, just the way your little pavlovic-driven unconscious is addicted!! WooHoo!! Sorry, I couldn't stop myself from the initial criticism of the reactionary...! Get over it and LISTEN until your neuro-transmitters make the connection!! Sorry!
These stories of stewarding national consumerist habituation, are NOT perfect, yet, they ARE beginning the change for the better! Can YOU help? Add to this? Come up with a BETTER way?? Then DO IT! The world needs your contributions too, NOT reactionsm which is so CHEAP anyway!! Listen to your own fundamental human values and learn to recognize them in other people "across the isle" from you. We aren't in a competition to win! What? Life on the planet... you stay... you go...?!! Whose death panels? Whose grandmother gets it in the chest?!! Come on, CHEAP, HABITUAL REACTIONISMIS what is DEAD!
