Importance of Local Organic Food
I find it strange that while living in Canada, it's more common to find produce from California, Mexico and New Zealand, than it is stuff grown right here, locally! I understand that some fruits and veggies are not available here all year round, but I also understand the importance of eating seasonally AND locally. By consuming locally produced organic food, not only that you're supporting local agriculture, eliminating pollution that is created by transportation, attuning yourself spiritually to your surroundings, but you also may be paying much less! Eliminating the middle man is totally possible by getting involved in a local CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), a local co-op, or better yet, growing the food yourself!

Iron & Omega 3 Myths
Most people are convinced that consuming fish is essential for healthy Omega 3 levels. WRONG! The gist of it is that our bodies have the ability to convert alpha linolenic Omega 3 fatty acid found in plants (especially green leafy veggies), into the longer chain EPA and DHA fatty acids, based on our needs. Watch the video below and you'll find out more about that, as well as my take on heme and non heme iron. Enjoy!

The Logic Of Raw Foods
Ever since I got into veganism and raw foods, I've been thinking more logically and asking myself basic and rudimentary questions about our habits as domesticated animals. Some of the answers I came across just made too much sense! I simply found myself relating more and more to natural law and ways of being attuned with this planet we all love.
I was recently a guest speaker in the Food and Nutrition class at Thornhill Secondary School, where I covered an array of interesting points relating to healthy living and thriving in this life. We all need to shoot much higher than just surviving in order to reach our full potential as individuals and fulfill our unique missions while we're still here. Enjoy this quick snippet from my talk!

David Wolfe in Orangeville
The lecture I attended tonight left such an impact on me that I had to write about it right away, regardless of having to wake up in about 3 hours for work. I guess I'll just have to load up on some serious chocolate!
The event took place at Monora Park, in Mono, Ontario, just outside of Orangeville. There was surely over 80 people at this lecture. The word gets around! We had pleasure of enjoying some delicious chocolate elixirs and decadent desserts, as well as being warmly welcomed by David Wolfe, who was incredibly inviting and down to earth. Truly grounded.
The lecture was so high packed with insightful and profound, leading edge information that 4 1/2 hours elapsed in a flash. David covered grounds of Superfoods, spring water, conscious living, ormus extracting technologies, the power of medicinal mushrooms and wild grasses, and the list goes on. Truly an inspirational evening.
