Online Class with Sally Fallon Morell

Animal fats, properly prepared whole grains, enzyme-enriched foods and nourishing bone broths kept our ancestors healthy.  Sally Fallon Morell, author of Nourishing Traditions, explains why you need these foods too.  Beginning with a presentation of Dr. Weston Price’s unforgettable photographs of healthy traditional peoples, Sally 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, snack foods, high enzyme condiments and soft drinks that are actually good for you!
