China's claim to 'climate leadership' is a geopolitical manoeuvre to counter Trump's narrative, not a pledge of emissions cuts, says Dr Tilak Doshi. Expecting China to join the West's economic self-sabotage is delusional.

"Planeat" screening in Greystones!

category wicklow | environment | event notice author Saturday June 04, 2011 21:24author by Kruk - Anarchist Federationauthor email thevegangang at riseup dot net Report this post to the editors

We will be screening Planeat movie on 24th of June at The Happy Pear in Greystones. Planeat is the story of three men's life-long search for a diet, which is good for our health, animals, good for the environment and good for the future of the planet.

With an additional cast of pioneering chefs and some of the best cooking you have ever seen, the scientists and doctors in the film present a convincing case for the West to re-examine its love affair with meat and dairy. The film features the ground-breaking work of Dr. T Colin Campbell in China exploring the link between diet and disease, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn's use of diet to treat heart disease patients, and Professor Gidon Eshel's investigations into how our food choices contribute to global warming, land use and oceanic deadzones.

24th June 2011 (Friday)
8pm
The Happy Pear
Church Road
Greystones

It's a free screening!

T. Colin Campbell's 'study' was nothing of the sort-it was the ramblings of a former dairy farmer turned vegan. No study was involved, merely questionnaires and verbal feedback. One of the drawbacks of the China Study was that nutrient intakes were determined from food composition tables, rather than measured directly from foods. This disallowed any consideration of differences in nutrient composition of foods in different areas due to soil quality, which was a primary theme of Dr Weston Price's research. Nutrient tables are totally invalid and haven't been such for donkey's years.
Much better reading would be the work of the Weston Price Foundation, carrying on the good work of Dr Price who lived with and studied indigenous peoples who ate all-natural diets both plant and animal based, eating natural foods as nature intended, how to treat animals right before eating them. His book, 'Nutrition and Physical Degeneration' (the title says it all) shows the benefits of eating wholly natural diets BE THEY 100% animal based like Masai and Eskimaux, or 100% plant based like the Hunza. The body, and human health starts to go pear-shaped when ANY of the above foods are refined or processed, or when grains and/or grain seed oils are added to the diet.

The Weston A Price Foundation was set up to further the research of Dr Weston Andrew Price. I don't see how it can be that ambiguous.

'The WAPF.....contradicting the U.S. Center for Disease Control, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, and the American Academy of Pediatrics.'

Personally I don't see any issue with this. The CDC, FDA and all the others work on a 'revolving door' policy. Most of the hot shots at these 'regulatory' agencies previously worked at Chemical, Food and Drug companies, and most still hold shares in the companies they are supposed to regulate. If you're putting any sort of faith or trust in the above agencies then you'll be sorely disappointed. (I'm sure a troll through Care2's generally good site will inform you of all the goings on at Monsanto, Syngenta, Bayer etc).

'...respected medical authorites like the Mayo Clinic..'

Oh dear. The Mayo Clinic has long been known as a bastion of medical corruption.
Keep drinking your soya milk, the high toxic load, the fact that most if not all of the worlds soy crop is GM, excess manganese and all the other pesticides sprayed on it have obviously affected your logic.

Vegsource.com> hardly reliable.

See my posted article for shady dealings and corruption at the CDC and the FDA.
