====================================== Bill Sickert on Beyond Organic Farming ====================================== Garden of Life President Bill Sickert will speak at LiveFeast.com after our monthly Live Feast Saturday, February 1st, 2003: http://www.livefeast.com/feast Bill has graciously agreed to take time out from his tremendously busy schedule to talk with the LiveFeast.com community about "Beyond Organic Farming Practices" and promises to be one our most interesting speakers to date. This talk is important because Garden of Life's farming practices are the new "Gold Standard" for cutting edge, 21st Century Food. Garden of Life products are the pinnacle of Extreme Raw Food and are described as "Beyond Organic" because: 1) Garden of Life controls their entire supply chain. 2) They choose pristine fields. 3) Inoculate their fields with Soil Based Organisms to maximize nutrient exchange with the soil, sun and air. 4) They harvest crops at the peak of their nutrient value. 5) Once harvested, they juice the crops immediately and low temperature dry the juice at 88 degrees or less. 6) Some materials are then lacto-fermented. Lacto fermentation is a form of pre-digestion which serves to increase nutrient value, enhance ease of digestion and create synergy between components. Synergy means fermented components take on entirely new characteristics which dramatically enhance immune system function and may even reorganize mutated DNA back to its original structure and then "turn on" new parts of DNA which have yet to be accessed. No one really knows what this might mean, however visions of X-Men and X-Women come to mind. :-) 7) Then the resulting materials are packaged into final product, in the field. No shipping long distances so oxidation destroys nutrient value. 8) So field to bottle is a quick trip for these products. This means we have a 100% Extreme Raw Food product, which is portable and makes old technologies like isolate supplements look like stone age Neanderthals around a weak fire. This is a rare occasion, so join in and bring a friend. Pass this along to other Raw Fooders and people intrigued by "Beyond Organic Farming". Enjoy your best "Beyond Organic" day! - David -- LiveFeast.com subscribe@livefeast.com Simple ways to look and feel your best ever!
