      The Weston A. Price Foundation is a nonprofit, tax-exempt charity founded in 1999 to disseminate the research of nutrition pioneer Dr. Weston Price, whose studies of isolated nonindustrialized peoples established the parameters of human health and determined the optimum characteristics of human diets. Dr. Price's research demonstrated that humans achieve perfect physical form and perfect health generation after generation only when they consume nutrient-dense whole foods and the vital fat-soluble activators found exclusively in animal fats.
      The Foundation is dedicated to restoring nutrient-dense foods to the human diet through education, research and activism.

      • Many Tracks Homestead - Eating Out of Your Garden
        by Sue Robishaw
        It’s a lot like "Mairzy doats and dozy doats and little lambsy dyvie". A phrase you can recite with no thought, but it doesn’t connect with anything. Eating out of the garden. You have a garden so of course you eetotta dagardn. Food for the table? Oh, that comes from the store.
        Why? Habit. Ease. Familiarity. Assurance. You KNOW what to do with that food from the store--it tells you right on the box. It is the kind of food you and the family are used to. Most likely it is what you grew up with. What people will recognize at potlucks. That’s how you eat.

      • Whole Grain Food:  Mulling Over Milling Your Own Grain
        by Dena Harris.
        Imagine you’re invited to help yourself to some fresh fruit. You look over plump grapes, ripe bananas, cherries bursting at the seams, but decide on a red, delicious apple. Taste buds salivating, you take a large bite only to discover—ptooey!—the fruit is wax. All the glistening goodness was only a mirage.
        Commercially milled products—the breads, cereals, pancake batters, etc. that stock the supermarket shelves—are the wax fruit in the bowl. All of the look with none of the taste. But there’s an alternative. Many people are beginning to take advantage of milling their own grains.

      • Finding Health Close to Home:  A Call for Localism
        All across America, the small towns of yesteryear are disappearing. Those near urban areas are turning into bedroom communities served by national chain stores and malls that have replaced local businesses and Main Street, USA, while more remote communities are drying up altogether as the young people move away and the farming economy continues its nosedive.
        As small local businesses are replaced by national brands, communities become colonies where people hardly know each other and where neighbors are united not by social and economic ties, but by proximity only. Television and car culture contribute to the breakdown of community: no longer do we sit on the front stoop and watch people walking to the corner store, or chat at the baseball diamond and the post office. Instead we live our lives indoors, in private, except when we drive out of the neighborhood to shop, work, or socialize with carefully selected friends. Alarmed by these trends, social activists have taken up the cause of localism and the rebuilding of community. What many of us do not realize, however, is that localism is not just a worthy social cause, but an important health issue as well.

      • A Campaign for Real [Raw] Milk
        A project by the Weston A. Price Foundation.
        Back in the 20s, Americans could buy fresh raw whole milk, real clabber and buttermilk, luscious naturally yellow butter, fresh farm cheeses and cream in various colors and thicknesses. Today's milk is accused of causing everything from allergies to heart disease to cancer, but when Americans could buy Real Milk, these diseases were rare. In fact, a supply of high quality dairy products was considered vital to American security and the economic well being of the nation.
        What's needed today is a return to humane, non-toxic, pasture-based dairying and small-scale traditional processing, in short a campaign for real milk.

Though the fig tree does not blossom and there is no fruit on the vines, [though] the product of the olive fails and the fields yield no food, though the flock is cut off from the fold and there are no cattle in the stalls, Yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will exult in the [victorious] God of my salvation! [Rom 8:37.]  The Lord God is my Strength, my personal bravery, and my invincible army; He makes my feet like hinds' feet and will make me to walk [not to stand still in terror, but to walk] and make [spiritual] progress upon my high places [of trouble, suffering, or responsibility]!  Habakkuk 3:17-19 AMP
