Saturday, February 27, 6:15 pm Topic: Planet’s Most Successful DietWhen you eat is just as important as what you eat. It can determine your total health and wellness. Paul will share information no one else is talking about: · Ideal times to eat for best digestion · Best times to be awake and go to sleep · How to overcome late-night binging · How to balance weight & gain energy · How to build immunity to fight disease · How to grow your own food · Composting to make great soil Speaker: Paul Nison, Author and Raw Food ChefPaul has eaten a raw food diet since being diagnosed with Inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.) With no other choice but drugs or surgery offered by the medical profession, Paul decided to ‘Go Raw.’ Today he is 100% cured of this so-called "incurable disease." He has been featured on The Food Network and in magazines and newspapers. Paul’s non-profit ministry Torah Life Ministries teaches about health according to the Bible. Paul has authored six books.

DIRECTIONS: * If you're not sure what to bring to an EarthSave potluck, may we suggest a simple green salad, a fresh fruit salad, lightly steamed vegetable, quinoa or brown rice? And remember, you don't have to be vegetarian to attend! We hold vegan potlucks so that everyone can enjoy tasting a wide range of dishes.

Hakin Hill, owner of Vegetarian Restaurant by Hakin, does not just practice tolerance for all peoples, he embraces and welcomes everyone as part of his family. His intention to change the world to be more compassionate and physically healthier requires seven days of service in and through the confines of this vegan restaurant, which more closely resembles a meeting place or home for people of all ages and all colors. Saturday evenings are reserved for events or films to raise consciousness in the community and to share friendships and healthy vegan food. And yet it seems that the 70 or so hours of "work" that he puts in each week is actually the source of his peace and tranquility. He’s the first to say "it’s not really work … I mean, yes, sometimes it’s tiring, but I am so blessed, truly blessed." Personally, Hakin is a role model for me. Whenever I stop in for the Entrée special or a soup and spinach patty, I enjoy witnessing his attentiveness to detail and his uncanny ability to take his time, speaking sincerely with the patrons, making sure that the meals are enjoyed by all. In this time of economic crisis, Hakin goes out of his way to serve those most in need, either by feeding them, by educating them, or by putting them to work in the restaurant. Born in the Bronx and later raised by his progressive grandparents in Antigua, Hakin attributes a great deal of his nature to a good start in life. His grandfather, Joseph Tittle, born in 1925, has been very influential, surrounding Hakin with a healthy lifestyle, religious values, and a great deal of love for each other and for service to humanity. On one of my visits I met Johnny, close friends with Hakin since childhood. He spoke candidly about Hakin’s positive influence on his life and the life of mutual friends even as a young child. A very special soul on a mission, Hakin humbly refers to himself, his friends, his workers as equal members of a family united in bringing kindness, compassion, love and awareness to everyone they serve. Tasty, economical, healthy and accommodating, the strictly vegan menu offers something for everyone, including: breakfast and lunch entrees, vegan desserts, soups, veggie patties, fruit, salads, natural beverages, smoothies and veggie burgers.

Organic Empowerment 2010: Ten Strategic Local Campaigns
Religious
leaders of Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Buddhist, and other faiths have formed a
growing movement to transform society from their pulpits by emphasizing the connection
between ecology and religion. Their
sermons inspire, educate and mobilize people with topics including climate
change, renewable energy technologies and public policy to cut greenhouse gases.
This doesn't mean environmentalism is turning into a religion, Browning
explains, but that religion harnesses the power of love and faith, both of which
bind us to nature, other humans and the health of our planet and inspire us to
take action when these are in danger > takeaction@edf.org
If
your body temperature or blood sugar changed by 10 percent you'd be in big
trouble. This condition of equilibrium and resistance
to change is called homeostasis. It characterizes all self-regulating
systems and applies to psychological states and behavior as well as to physical
functioning. Homeostasis doesn't distinguish between change for the better or change
for the worse. It resists all change. So... how do you deal with
homeostasis? www.chiDiet.com Canines Rocky and Sugar really want this string bean because they

Scientist Wendy Brown has found that dogs
can thrive on a meat-free diet. As
part of the team of scientists who monitored the health and performance of
Siberian huskies over a 10-week sled-racing season they concluded that
hard-working dogs can perform just as well on a meat-free diet as they do on a
meat-rich diet. However, preparing
an adequate vegetarian diet for a dog is more difficult and time-consuming...
As dogs belong to the order Carnivora, it's often assumed that they are
exclusively carnivorous, but in fact they are omnivores, belonging to the same
superfamily within the Carnivora as the bamboo-eating giant panda and the

C T I V I S T C O R N E R: Brainwashing
doesn't have to be complicated. http://www.brasschecktv.com/page/770.html A
powerful exposition by Mary O’Brien on
so-called "Risk Assessment" ...what is "acceptable" is a
political judgment. What is deemed
"acceptable" is a matter of raw political power. Thus risk assessment
is not a "scientific" exercise -- it is a highly political mixture of
prejudices, biases, guesses, estimates, some scientific facts, and many ethical
judgments -- all masquerading as "objective" science. Risk assessment
always asks the wrong question: it asks how much damage is safe instead of
asking how little damage is possible. Furthermore,
risk assessment conveniently never asks, "Is the proposed activity
needed?" It never asks, "Is the proposed activity ethical?"
"All potentially environmentally degrading activities, public or
private, should be subject to public scrutiny of alternatives. The public
deserves to know that those who pollute, extract, consume, emit, incinerate, or
abandon are aware of their technological options for minimizing disturbance of
the environment." > riskassessment
