October 26, 2012–Washington, D.C. –Bullying, road rage, shooting incidents are on the rise. So are behavior problems and learning difficulties in children. What if our Standard American Diet of industrial oils and sweeteners is the root cause of these problems?
The Weston A. Price Foundation (WAPF), a nutrition education non-profit, is one organization looking for common sense solutions to what ails our society.The Foundation, which promotes traditional foodways, old-fashioned fats like butter and holistic health, brings its popular Wise Traditions conference to Santa Clara, California in November.
