Foods that help protect us against environmental toxins and pathogenic
organisms will be the topic of the monthly presentation of the Global
Environmental Policy Program at the School of International Service
(SIS GEPP) at American University on February 7. Sally Fallon, President
of the Weston A. Price Foundation, will introduce the research of nutrition
pioneer Dr. Weston A. Price and explain the relevance of his findings
to today's health concerns -- "Mad Cow" disease, avian flu,
virulent e. coli and environmental pollution with dioxins and related
substances.
"Concerned consumers are shunning animal foods as a way of protecting
themselves against these modern health threats," says Fallon. "However,
science shows us that certain nutrient-dense animal foods revered as
sacred by traditional societies are actually our best protection against
both pollution and infectious agents." Fallon will also present
evidence for the protective effects of lacto-fermented foods, which
were consumed by all pre-industrialized populations.
Ms. Fallon is the author of the best-selling nutritional cookbook,
Nourishing Traditions, and serves as founding president of
the Weston A. Price Foundation, a non-profit nutrition education organization.
The Foundation is dedicated to restoring nutrient-dense foods to American
tables and boasts over 350 chapters worldwide that help consumers find
local foods raised using non-toxic methods. The Foundation supports
accurate nutrition education, organic and biodynamic farming, pasture
feeding of livestock, community-supported farms, honest and informative
labeling, prepared parenting and nurturing therapies.
As well as being the founding president of the Weston A. Price
Foundation (http://www.westonaprice.org/index.html)
and editor of the Foundation's quarterly magazine, Ms. Fallon is also
the founder of "A Campaign for Real Milk" (http://www.realmilk.com/).
"This is a rare opportunity to interact with an authority such
as Sally Fallon," says event organizer and DC-area CSA farmer,
Allan Balliett. "By demonstrating that human food should have a
much higher nutrient content than corporate food industries are able
to provide, Sally has awakened families all over the country to the
fact that if they want to live full and happy lives, the must seek out
the kind of quality of food that only small, owner-operated farms and
cottage industries can provide." Balliett added, "The Weston
A. Price chapters have saved more family farms in the last 10 years
than any other organization. Sally has valuable information that will
be eye-opening, especially for families
that wish to become healthier."
A discussion will follow Ms. Fallon's presentation.
