Sustainable EatingIs there really such a thing?

The 4 Rules

• No GMO (GE) Food or irradiated food• No hydrogenated products• No white food (sugar,flour)• No homogenized food

No GMO (GE) or Irradiated Food

The European Union and the Australian Government require that all genetically engineered food be labeled as such and

irradiated foods, which must also be labeled, are very limited.

Why Not in Canada?

From the “How to Avoid Genetically Modified Food

Guide by Greenpeace• THE RED LIST: An unhappy face indicates that the product is likely to contain

GE or GE-derived ingredients from the most widely grown GE crops,usually corn,soy,canola or cotton.Companies on this list have confirmed that their products may or are likely to contain GMO’s.

Codex AlimentariusTHEY DON’T WANT YOU TO

KNOW

This is a dangerous organization which is determined to control the world’s food. Please research all

you can. Dr. Verkerk is attempting to help the situation. Also look at the Georgia monument’s first mandate.

THE MESSAGE OF THE GEORGIA GUIDESTONES

1. Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature. 2. Guide reproduction wisely - improving fitness and diversity. 3. Unite humanity with a living new language. 4.

Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court. 7. Avoid petty laws and useless officials. 8. Balance personal rights with social duties. 9. Prize truth - beauty - love - seeking harmony with the infinite. 10.Be not a cancer on the earth - Leave room for nature - Leave room for nature.

NO ONE KNOWS

NO HYDROGENATED FOOD

These must be labeled in Canada now, though zero does not mean 0

one or more vegetable,animal or fish fats or oils that have been hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated except coconut oil, palm oil, palm kernel oil, peanut oil or cocoa butter

"hydrogenated vegetable oil" or "hydrogenated vegetable fat" or "hydrogenated" plus the specific name of the oil or fat

No White FoodWhite Sugar

White Flour

White Fat

All of these highly refined (processed) food products require

large amounts of energy and water to create and only supply marginal nutrition. They are also

harmful to many people.

No Homogenized FoodAlthough widely accepted worldwide, the process of homogenization creates a

similar molecule structure to trans fats, and not enough research has been done to justify the process as safe. Use only standard milk in

glass bottles that is not homogenized.

What CAN You Eat?

• Organic food cannot be irradiated, nor contain GMO’s or pesticides.

• The heavy use of pesticides on our food effects the entire chain of food production.

• Pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides are very prevalent in our foods.

Cotton/Potato Pesticides per Acre• Cotton uses 9

pesticides commonly, 5 of which are known cancer causing chemnicals.

• Cotton seed meal is fed to livestock.

• Cotton seed oil is used in processed food.

• Farmer suicide due to a viscious pesticide cycle was prevalent in India

• Organic cotton is safe for the environment and YOU!

• Potatoes, (French fries, potato chips)• 2.65 pounds herbicides• 1.47 pounds insecticides• 2.61 pounds fungicides• 68.13 pounds other chemicals such as sulphuric acid,

metam-sodium and diquat

Packaging Considerations

Recycling is NOT the answer.

Creates waste.

Requires energy and water to recycle.

・ In the past three decades,one-third of the planet’s natural resources base have been consumed. 1 ・ In the United States,we have less than 4% of our original forests left. 2 ・ Forty percent of waterways in the US have become undrinkable. 3 ・ The U.S. has 5% of the world ‘s population, but consumes 30% of the world’s resources and creates 30% of the world’s waste. 5 ・ If everybody consumed at U.S. rates, we would need 3 to 5 planets. ・ There are over 100,000 synthetic chemicals in commerce today. 6 ・ Only a handful of synthetic chemicals have even been tested for human health impacts and NONE have been tested for syner- gistic health impacts. 7 ・ In theU.S.,industry admits to releasing over 4 billion pounds of toxic chemicals a year. 8 ・ The average U.S. person now consumes twice as much as they did 50 years ago.9 ・ We each see more advertisements in one year than a people 50 years ago saw in a lifetime.10 ・ In the U.S.our national happiness peaked sometime in the 1950s.11 ・ In the U.S.,we spend 3-4 times as many hours shopping as our counterparts in Europe do.12 ・ Average U.S.house size has doubled since the1970s.13 ・ Each person in the United States makes 4 1/2 pounds of garbage a day.(4.6 pounds for Canadians)14. That is twice what we each made thirty years ago.15 ・ For every one garbage can of waste you put out on the curb,70 garbage cans of waste were made upstream to make the junk in that one garbage can you put out on the curb. 16. Facts from The Story of Stuff http://storyofstuff.org/pdfs/annie_leonard_facts.pdf

What to Buy*Buying Organic CURRENTLY is safe.*Buying LOCAL ORGANIC is the absolute best.*Buy real, not processed or packaged food.*Buy in bulk.*Buy standard milk and make your own yogurt.*Bake your own bread. It takes 5 minutes a day.*Stop watching TV. Advertising promotes unhealthy living.*Never buy bottled in plastic drinks.*Avoid plastic everything. Buy glass first, then tins second.*Buy non-hydrogenated food.Zero trans fat may still have some trans fat.*Learn to cook and prepare meals from real food from scratch.

One More ThingDid you know that changing a diet

can change a life?Children with Asberger’s Autism

become just the average kid when they eat according to the Crohne’s

diet, but parent’s want a simple solution and would rather give their kids a pill instead of change their

food.

SPECIFIC CARBOHYDRATE DIETSCD works on so many different problems! My toddler had been

suffering for three years with failure to thrive. Many foods just went through his system and came out looking the same as they went in.

This diet straightened out his digestive tract and now he can eat many things that he couldn't before... like seeds and skins (which means he can now eat strawberries and tomatoes, etc.) With this diet, he went from moody and unconsolably crying to happy within

the first four days! It also stopped my lifelong bout of chronic headaches/migraines, my husband's chronic diahrrea and allowed us to see the correlation between cow dairy and leg pain/enuresis for my daughter. This diet changed our lives! We still fall back on it the minute someone gets sick. We have found that colds will last 4 days when we use this diet... as opposed to 7 - 10 or 14 days when

we don't use it.*

WHY? IT ELIMINATES 99% OF THE 4 NO FOODS!*http://www.revolutionhealth.com/drugs-treatments/rating/diet-specific-carbohydrate-diet-scd
