I just saw this packaged Avocado in the supermarket, with added Thickener (401) and Vegetable Gum (415). I must be missing something, is it really that hard to peel and slice an avocado yourself? Why Fresh Avocados Are Worth the Effort If you’ve ever walked through a supermarket and seen pre-packaged avocado with added thickeners […]
Apparently Sally Fallon Morell and Geoffrey Morell will be coming to New Zealand next year on a speaking tour with the Weston A Price foundation (WAPF). Details are still to be announced and it will be between the 24th March and 6th April 2012. The Weston A Price Foundation approach is not the same as […]
I was really pleased to receive a few new Paleo books last week – I've got quite a lot of reading to do! I thought I'd start with Everyday Paleo, which, as a longtime reader of Sarah Fragoso's blog, I've been looking forward to. I hadn't realised how inclusive this book was going to be […]

Yesterday I went to Nourishing Australia’s “Food & Health as Evolution Intended” seminar. The seminar was held at the University of New South Wales in Sydney and featured five lectures by Nora Gedgaudas, and lectures by Bruce Ward on naturally grazing animals and Costa Georgiadis on the importance of where food comes from.
