The Weston A. Price Foundation-Charleston Chapter


YOUR RESOURCE FOR WISE TRADITIONS IN FOOD, FARMING, AND THE HEALING ARTS

The Weston A. Price Foundation is a nonprofit, tax-exempt charity founded in 1999 to disseminate the research of nutrition pioneer Dr. Weston Price, whose studies of isolated nonindustrialized peoples established the parameters of human health and determined the optimum characteristics of human diets. Dr. Price's research demonstrated that humans achieve perfect physical form and perfect health generation after generation only when they consume nutrient-dense whole foods and the vital fat-soluble activators found exclusively in animal fats.

The Foundation is dedicated to restoring nutrient-dense foods to the human diet through education, research and activism. It supports a number of movements that contribute to this objective including accurate nutrition instruction, organic and biodynamic farming, pasture-feeding of livestock, community-supported farms, honest and informative labeling, prepared parenting and nurturing therapies. Specific goals include establishment of universal access to clean, certified raw milk and a ban on the use of soy formula for infants.

LOCAL CHAPTERS
Local chapters help you find locally-grown organic and biodynamic vegetables, fruits and grains; and milk products, butter, eggs, chicken and meat from pasture-fed animals. They also represent the Weston A Price Foundation at local fairs and conferences and may host cooking classes, potluck dinners and other activities to help you learn to integrate properly prepared whole foods into your lifestyle. Local chapters may be able to put you in touch with health practitioners who share our philosophy and goals.

NEXT Educational Event:                       

Our next educational event will be held on Saturday, March 6, 2010 from noon to 2PM at Total Life Care in West Ashley.   At the request of many of you, we have decided to make our next class a fermentation food class.  We will learn how to make saurkraut and komboucha in this hands-on and informative class. 

For those of you who would like to participate, we would like to give you 2 options for this event 

1) would you like the class to be more of a demo where the items are prepared, recipes are given out and you get to taste test   

OR 

2) would you like a more hands on class where you are provided materials (that you will then be able to take home with you) and you prepare your own food along with the lecturer and even have your own food to take home and ferment for later eating? 

Please vote and email us which of these options you would like for the event!  westonapricesc@hotmail.com
