I started the show today with the sounds of Mullum\u00a0meandering in the rural regalness of the Friday farmers markets.\u00a0\u00a0I strolled around asking the question – If you only had $10 to spend on food all day, what would you buy?<\/p>\n
I asked this partly because\u00a0i’m currently\u00a0trying to stick to spending no more than\u00a0$10 a day on food having listened to stories\u00a0like\u00a0 “SUPERMARKET SHELVES ARE BARE”\u00a0following the devastating floods in Queensland recently, I asked myself the question… How much do you really NEED to survive? The answer is actually not that much if you’re not addicted to anything.<\/p>\n
It really makes you\u00a0STOP and think about what\u00a0you’re going to eat for the day.\u00a0Start by asking…\u00a0Am i really hungry?\u00a0To wait until you are\u00a0actually hungry and to know that this is your one good meal of the day makes it taste soooo much better. Plus, your mouth waters for a reason… it is the FIRST STAGE of DIGESTION as your body starts preparing to accept food.\u00a0A meal is\u00a0truly satisfying if you choose the things your body naturally craves. To know what these things are means to listen to it, not overrule it.<\/p>\n
I’d love to discover a way of posting recorded interviews such as this one which is just so refreshing to hear. Mullum market has such a beautiful feel to it as the majority of folk wander, half smiling\u00a0in the knowledge that we are living a truly blessed life up here in Paradise Shire. Such an abundance of fresh foods served to you by the very hands that\u00a0prepare, grow, produce and sell the goodies.\u00a0\u00a0The idea wasn’t to find out exactly what foods people chose, but to make\u00a0people stop and think about\u00a0how much they are spending or over spending.<\/p>\n
Thanks to everyone at the market that participated. It was lovely to meet new people and spread the LOVE across the Shire.<\/p>\n
You also missed out on the next interview which was set at the opening of a Raw Food outlet in town almost a year ago now. We were spoiled raw rotten with all the equisite delights and i mingled with an interesting crowd and came across Sharon who i first approached earlier in the night because she had something lovely about. I had asked if she would be interested in telling me her story. She insisted that it was all about her son and that he was the more knowledgeable one and suggested i ask him. He is a beautiful boy glowing with health and gentle in nature but not too keen on speaking his inner feelings into a microphone. It’s confronting to alot of people and i understand that but later in the evening Sharon came back to me and happily informed me that she was now ready to have a chat. We found a bench outside and with passionate spanish guitar acoustics reverberating around us, Sharon\u00a0shared her story\u00a0about starting out\u00a0on a Raw Food diet.<\/p>\n
The most endearing thing about this interview is that\u00a0after 50 odd years of living\u00a0one way, Sharon is now\u00a0experimenting in a world that is providing her with so much more energy and balance in her life.\u00a0It’s great to hear her so excited about the changes she is making and bringing into others lives. Sharon\u00a0was sure to point out that she is not 100% raw, at which point\u00a0we agreed that changing one thing at a time and taking it slow is a far easier and more sustainable way of doing things.<\/p>\n
I finished this show with some information on Root Canal Treatment and how it affects your health. I shall return at a later date with that information but if you get tired of waiting then check out the book (my bible) HEALING WITH WHOLE FOODS By Paul Pitchford. Asian Traditions and Modern Nutrition.<\/p>\n
