The book The World Peace Diet outlines and describes in detail:
- The interconnection between food and man's inhumanity to man
- How the herding culture and the domination of animals permeates our society at multiple levels
- Why ending war and entering a true era of peace will be possible only when we recognize and honor the innate intelligence of our fellow creatures
|
 |
As we take control of our diet to heal humanity, it becomes even more essential that we take charge of connecting to our food at its source...in the garden.
Farm Community member and conference host Douglas Stevenson will demonstrate how to take control of your diet and prepare for the future now by growing your own food, including protein and grain as well as a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. |
