The Ecological Farming Association nurtures healthy and just farms, food systems, communities and environment by bringing people together for education, alliance building and advocacy.
Food is any substance, usually composed of carbohydrates, fats, proteins and water, that can be eaten or drunk by an animal, including humans, for nutrition or pleasure. Items considered food may be sourced from plants, animals or other categories such as fungus or fermented products like alcohol. Although many human cultures sought food items through hunting and gathering, today most cultures use farming, ranching, and fishing, with hunting, foraging and other methods of a local nature included but playing a minor role.
As talked about in "Understanding Consciousness" part 1, a large part of our consciousness comes from our thoughts and thought patterns. But a large part of our consciousness also comes from what we put inside our bodies. The foods we eat literally affect our consciousness and probably more than most realize.
Raw Spirit International 2010 is a full three-day event featuring two stages (Lake and Meadow Stages) with mixed musical performers and dynamic health-eco-peace research presenters amidst stunningly-beautiful natural backdrops.

The Raw Vegan Demos and Tastings are once again in the Hilltop Pagoda with sweeping vistas of panoramic mountains.

I see you picked a photo and got it on here. It looks good! I had some photos taken by Helga, who is on here too. I put one on my page and other in my personal album. She's a professional and has a special where you get 4 photos out of many options. Only $10.
Hey, are you going artwalking tonight?
The Armory event is a public meal put on by some church, a great big open room of diverse people, many elderly, some youth and in between, definitely not the same community feel as Grange. The food's all free, definitely not organic, and for me the atmosphere is a little stiff and awkward. The Grange will be way better.
Know any ways to cook (or uncook) pumpkin to make something for thursday? I might bake the little pie pumpkins and add coconut milk, spices, maple syrup, and just make pudding.
