Animal fats, properly prepared whole grains, enzyme-enriched foods and nourishing bone broths kept our ancestors healthy.

Beginning with a presentation of Dr. Weston Price’s unforgettable photographs of healthy traditional peoples, Ms. Fallon explains the underlying factors in a variety of traditional diets that conferred beauty, strength and complete freedom from disease on so-called primitive populations. Then she presents a step-by-step plan to put nourishing traditional foods–foods that your family will actually eat–back into your diet, including easy breakfast cereals, soups, sauces, snack foods, high enzyme condiments and soft drinks that are actually good for you.Learn about: Butter, the number one health food Vital role of high-cholesterol foods Why lowfat and vegan diets don’t work The magical powers of raw whole milk from pasture-fed cows Dangers of modern soy foods and soy infant formula The conspiracy to promote vegetable oils and hydrogenated fats Foods that help babies grow up smart and strong Old-fashioned foods that give limitless energy and vibrant health The unfortunate consequences of modern farming methods This pre-conference seminar is highly recommended for both laymen and health professionals newly introduced to the work of the Weston A.
