NOURISHMENT OF THE BODILY TEMPLE OF HUMAN BEINGS. IF WE WANT OUR TEMPLE TO BE CLEAN AND PEACEFUL, WE MUST NOURISH IT WITH CLEAN FOODS THAT SUPPORTS IT AND HELPS IT REGENERATE ITSELF. THE BODY IS PERHAPS ONE OF THE MOST INTELLIGENT DESIGNS IN THE COSMOS AND IT IS OUR JOB TO MAINTAIN IT. WE BELIEVE IN NATURAL FOODS THAT SUPPORTS BODY AND MIND, IS OF NO HARM TO NATURE, AND IS ETHICAL TOWARDS THE PEOPLE WHO GROW IT.
WE HUMANS HAVE LOST OUR CONNECTION WITH FOOD. WE PICK IT UP FROM THE SHELVES UNAWARE OF IT’S JOURNEY, HOW IT WAS GROWN OR BRED AND WHAT HAPPENED TO IT BEFORE IT ENDED UP IN OUR HANDS. YOU CAN GO PICK UP A BANANA THAT WAS GROWN QUARTERWAY AROUND THE PLANET ANY TIME OF THE YEAR AT ANY TIME. EVERYTHING IS AVAILABLE AT ALL TIMES. IS THIS NATURAL? NO! SO WHY DO WE DO IT? BECAUSE WE LIVE INSIDE A GREAT MACHINE THAT MAKES IT POSIBLE AND EASY FOR US. WE’VE GOTTEN USED TO THE CONVENIENCE OF ALWAYS HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO AND BUY A BANANA. IT’S NORMAL, RIGHT? ONCE WE GET USED TO SOMETHING, IT BECOMES NORMAL BUT NORMAL DOESN’T MEAN NATURAL. NORMAL DOESN’T MEAN SUSTAINABLE.
WE WANT OUR FOOD TO BE AS TRANSPERANT AS POSSIBLE AND WE WANT TO BE PART OF ITS JOURNEY FROM THE SEED TO YOUR STOMACHE. WE WANT THAT BECAUSE WE WANT TO FEEL LIKE HUMANS AND NOT LIKE ROBOTS LIVING WITHIN A MANMADE MACHINE. WE WANT TO BE CONNECTED TO NATURE.
SURE WE MIGHT NEED HELP FROM OTHER PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD SINCE SOME THINGS CANNOT BE MADE HEREABOUTS, BUT WE WANT THOSE PRODUCTS TO BE NATURAL AND NOT FORCED INTO EXISTANCE. WE WANT TO WORK WITH PEOPLE WHO GIVES A SOCK ABOUT THEIR LAND. GRAPES THAT ARE GROWN WITH LOVE AND RESPECT AND FREE OF CHEMICALS. NUTS THAT ARE PICKED BY PEOPLE WHO ARE PAID LIVEABLE WAGES AND COFFEE GROWN AND PROCESSED BY PRODUCERS THAT ARE ABLE TO INVEST IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THEIR FARMS. IN OTHER WORDS; WE WANT TO PAY THE PEOPLE WHO GROW AND MAKE THE FOOD AND NOT SOME GIANT COORPORATION EXPLOITING THE EMPIRIAL SYSTEMS FOR PROFIT.
AT THE CURRENT MOMENT, SHOPPING COMPLETELY LOCALLY IS NOT GOING TO SOLVE THE BROKEN SYSTEMS WE HAVE CREATED. POOR PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD DEPENDS ON EXPORTING FOOD TO THE WEST – GENERALLY BOUGHT AT VERY LOW PRICES, THUS KEEPING THEM IN POVERTY. WHAT WE NEED IS TO ESTABLISH DIRECT RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN PRODUCERS AND CONSUMERS AND MAKE SURE THERE AREN’T ANY MIDDLEMEN CASHING IN ON BROKEN SYSTEMS.
WE WANT OUR FOOD TO BE CLEAN AND HONEST. WE WANT THE PRODUCE TO SPEAK IT’S OWN LANGUAGE, NOT TRYING TO TEACH IT HOW TO SPEAK FRENCH (NO PUN INTENDED). FOOD. NO ADDITIVES. FROM GARDENS OF LOVE.
TRUE, WE ARE HUMAN AND WE MIGHT FEEL LIKE EATING AN ICE CREAM ONE DAY. WHO ARE WE TO STOP ANYBODY FROM DOING THAT? WHAT WE WANT IS THE ICE CREAM TO BE FREE FROM ALL THESE WEIRD NUMBERS AND WORDS THAT NOBODY KNOWS WHAT ARE AND WHERE COME FROM.
