Alice Waters: We Are What We Eat

[@mommam.6101]

I'm 82 and my brother is 80. I take absolutely no medications. Our parents were about 10 years older than our classmates' parents and had a little different lifestyle. On one and a half acres we grew most of our food; vegetables, many different kinds of fruit and berries, chickens for meat and eggs, and occasionally raised a calf or pig. Mom canned or froze our own produce. I would say that we grew up living organically. As a result, neither my brother nor I ever had a childhood disease, even though I was exposed many times through classmates, children, and grandchildren. When I was in my 50s I took up long-distance bicycle riding, and at age 58 rode my bicycle 3,600 miles across the US carrying about 30 lbs. of camping gear. I got lazy a few years ago and have become inactive, and that is killing me.

Alice, you received your wings from Berkeley. Thank goodness for us all!

[@rachelstark2391]

Yes, let us be the change!!!

I used to live in the same old victorian as Alice back in my Berkely days. Wish I had gotten a job with her now and took my life in that direction

Cultivar boas práticas deveria ser uma conduta basilar à qualquer indivíduo e nosso organismo recebe toda uma carga de produtos que acabamos ingerindo, por vezes sem critério responsável, minando a saúde e nossa potencia enquanto seres pulsantes nesse vasto mundo. Tenho minhas ressalvas em relação às mídias, pq não sei se existe aí um viés meramente mercadológico na proposta apresentada mas, entendo que sempre é possível filtrar aquilo que se pretende fluir de uma cadeia justa e acho muito proveitoso quando nos deparamos com boas práticas e descobrimos pessoas engajadas que compartilham o seu conhecimento, é recompensador além de provocador na dose certa. Parabéns!!

Thank you Alice for the work that you do. This will be Gen Z's revolution, I think. First they will be the sickest generation, (pill popping, allergies, ADHD, autism, childhood diabetes) then they will see why.

Why does she always sound like she's about to cry?

[@olliedean1020]

She is older

[@rachelstark2391]

Her name is not Alison.

[@olliedean1020]

What is it????

So we have to eat humans in order to become a human 😁
