Course Description
Are you aware of the kind of sustenance plants and animals need to bring healthful food from our nation's farms to our dining tables? Would you say that your diet supports you in thriving vs. barely surviving? What foods has the media conditioned you to eat that may not be health-giving? Do you eat consciously or unconsciously? Are you a fan of the USDA Eating Model, a model that has been criticized by some of the nation's top health experts for dispensing misleading information and propaganda? In this course module, you will understand how industrially produced, factory-farmed, pesticide-drenched foods harm the health of plants, animals, insects, ecosystems, and people. What's the alternative, you might be wondering? It's the Eco-Intelligent Eating Model! It's the first eating model to promote the value and necessity of "farming green" and "eating clean." You'll get acquainted with the traditional whole foods that this eating model features, including their history, culinary uses, and disease-fighting health properties. You'll also learn how to create a sacred, eco-conscious kitchen and turn cooking into an effort of your soul, vs. a menial chore, when you find your "why" to cook.
