"Love your food again" - now where have I heard that Karen? Pretty simple huh. Have you ever had home-made chips cooked in organic duck fat? OMG! Especially with home-made Ketchup - I am talking the real, fermented stuff. It's so strange that humans have created nutritional myths that keep us (sometimes even by law) from enjoying the tastiest and most divine foods, not to mention nourishing? That never ceases to amaze me. The amount of people I see drink raw milk for the first time and they go "oh wow", they become really present with what they are tasting. Glad you love the venue - I had a small hand in it too :-) As for my blog - I think it will be worth the wait. I have a special suprise instore :-) Smilies all round!

Dig it. So glad you posted your "shock and dismay" of eating "unpaturerised cream and staturated fats by the bucket load." I can just see your brain short-circuiting like mine. However, your intuition was dead-on right whereas mine had been shelved. Well, no matter, we're here now. And, obviously, I relate! I'm waiting [im] patiently for your blog, Wes. :-) I couldn't believe how easy it was ...5 minutes, maybe? I honestly can't get enough of this kind of reading..so write!! In the meantime I'm going to keep reading Paul Campos's book "The Diet Myth" and another one I picked up called "The Fat Fallacy" by Will Clower. For now though, I'm going back to reading Joanne's blog about how she *switched* and now chooses "nourishing" ways, whether that is body, mind or spirit. How commonsensical is that? :-) Just love this venue! Thank you Joanne! Best.... We all have rather interesting stories, eh? Dig it.

At the time I was still mostly vego (previously 5yrs a vegan) and I almost fell over when this guy was telling me in a car-park that he drinks raw milk that he ferments with bacteria and has left standing for 2 days. My mind was freaking out to hear of the horror of eating raw unpasteurised cream and saturated fats by the bucket load. The guy was Abby Eagle ( www.rejoiceinlife.com ) and I must say I owe him a debt of gratitude. I can recall that at the time , no matter how much my mind was vehemently opposing what he was saying, my intuition was just saying YES YES YES. I am loving reading your blog Karen. Keep it up! Mine is coming soon ;-) I can remember when I first was first told about the Weston A Price Foundations recommendations on diet and nutrition.

And, delighted to hear how your grandfather instilled healthy eating...how blessed your mother was as a child growing up. I think your 'intuition' summary is right on. I find it fascinating how I rather "ditched" my own intuition in favor of what I call "allopathic science." Your post reminded me how difficult it was to cancel the last "advanced class" on the vegan approach after the Nourishing Traditions seminar. I did and it took me another 2 months to request a refund instead of applying it 'later.' I had help. An acquaintance that I turn to for scientific translations upon occasion, Eddie, was most helpful in saying "just cancel it...". He also had reviewed an article or two for me and said "Not good data." So, I did. He's an engineer and has a site with some good resource information at http://www.health-heart.org/ And, I haven't looked back: my mental health is better than it has ever been and it is so exciting. Thanks for writing. It's refreshing to see a whole new generation embracing a healthy approach to life that includes eating joyfully. Eating disorders are a solvable problem and I want to see that happen in my lifetime. Hugs... Good to hear from you, Fiona.

I always describe Ms Fallon's approach to food as simply - intuitive. The extreme obsession with turning food into an enemy to be tamed and controlled in our society is so harmful - hence as you say, the eating disorders and myriad of other maladies. Growing up, it seemed every girl I knew denied themselves the nourishing goodness of vital foods in a foolish battle of wills with all things 'fat'. I wonder now what lasting damage they have done to ther bodies. I am glad my grandfather insisted on butter, and taught my mother to eat 'god's food'. Im glad I managed to escape the low-fat quagmire that others are still stuck in. Im glad I worked out, after a brief flirtation, that convenience foods are decidedly inconvenient! As a young mum, Im proud to be nourishing my daughter with real food. I look forward to hearing more of your journey as my little family continues on theirs! Mmm, I can really relate to this!
