Slow food movement

Want to read something that really dives into the heart of agriculture? This relates directly to Raw food, as w/out agriculture, we are all toast...Tierra Madre, is an organization, consisting of farmers, traders and activists partaking in a global gathering to diagnose and offer remedies to change the major negative issues involving our current food crisis. The book I have been reading, is edited by an amazing person-Vandana Shiva. Here's a quote from the Taitreya Upanishad-"From food, all creatures are produced...Beings are born from food, when born they live by food, on being deceased, they enter into food." There is so much information contained in this small little book, much of which is not common knowledge. However, my thought is that, if this information is more common knowledge, all of the people with ideas and concerns, can come together to make a system that will provide, and sustain-peacfully and lovingly-the whole planet.

Peace friends, Rawjen
P.S. I plan on starting my day with some Garden of Life Raw Greens powder, then waiting for hunger, and eating some fruit. This is the perfect time of year for mono-foods like fruit, after this amazing moon, and with the onset of fall, a bountiful harvest should be upon us...sounds delicious to me!
