Local Forage

  • Eating is one of our most primal and sensual acts. And eating what's good for you doesn't mean depriving yourself of gastronomic delight. Local Forage explores why traditional foods—the real, unprocessed, whole-fat foods of our grandparents—delivers the winning combination of maximum health and maximum taste.

    Local Forage provides an exchange of practical information on where to buy these nutrient-dense traditional foods in the bay area, how to prepare them and how to think "beyond organic".

FOOD MATTERS is a hard-hitting, fast-paced look at our current state of health. Despite the billions of dollars of funding and research into new so-called cures, we continue to suffer from a raft of chronic ills and every day maladies. Approaching a toxic and over indulgent population with a continuing onslaught of toxic therapies and nutrient-sparse foods is worsening the situation. FOOD MATTERS seeks to uncover the business of disease and explore the safe, cheap and effective use of nutrition and supplementation for preventing and often curing the underlying causative aspects of our ills.

In a personal and independent quest, film makers James Colquhoun & Laurentine ten Bosch set out to uncover the truth. After traveling around the globe to speak with world authorities in nutrition and natural healing and adding in a dash of investigative journalists for spice, the dish is a perfectly balanced look at how we should be using conventional medicine and nutritional therapy as humanity advances.

The movie starts at 7pm.  We're still planning the evening, but after the film we hope to have either a panel discussion or perhaps a remote video discussion with the film makers.

Carla,

I'm watching this film right now since I can't come to your screening. Thanks so much for alerting the community to this must-see film!!! It is amazing. I'm going to try to get a public venue in Palo Alto to show it, too.

Great work on spreading the word that nutrient-free food and Big Pharma drugs are like poison on top of poison. When will the majority get with the program????

Always love reading your blog, keep it up!!!

Thanks, Alix! Let me know if you want help with the Palo Alto screening. I can also put you directly in touch with the film makers.

Well, it's a step in the right direction, but the website gives us insight into their misguided information such as the villification of animal products and saturated fats (and clumping saturated fats and trans fats together as if they were the same thing!). Boo, hiss!

Gina,
Thanks for mentioning this. I agree. Some of the perspectives reflected in the film aren't *perfectly* in alignment with us LForagers (or the latest lipid researchers). There were a few times when I scrinched my face as I watched/read.

But, as you said, the general direction of the film's message is important and beneficial to our mission.
~Carla
