Time: 6:30pm

Confused about what to feed your kids...before birth or after?  Do you know the difference between the S.A.D. diet of GMO, transfats, omega 6, HFCS, hormones, antibiotics, dyes and preservatives or a Nutrient dense one of unaltered foods, healthy fats, omega 3's, natural sugar, pastured eggs, dairy and meats.  

What are the outcomes of kids on each of these diets?  See for yourself!  

Please join us for an eye opening evening as we share Dr. Weston A Price's research on nutrient dense foods that traditional cultures have been eating for centuries.  You will be pleasantly surprised by the delicious foods that nourish our children's growing minds and bodies.  If you want healthy, happy kids, don't feed them SAD(Standard American Diet) food!

The format will be a two hour film slideshow presentation called ‘Nourishing Our Children’ (Read more here) with an intermission, healthy snacks, and a short time for questions and recommended resources.  If this sounds appropriate for your mature teens, please bring them - otherwise we are unable to provide childcare. 

Everyone is welcome!  This event is for parents, caregivers, teachers, grandparents and just about everyone.   It is also a newcomers or introduction meeting and a great way to get to know folks and make new friends.

RSVP here or email us at wapfsantabarbara@gmail.com.  You do not have to RSVP, but it would help us ensure we have enough chairs and such.  

Methyl Iodide Permit Issued in SB County

One of the primary campaign of the Weston A. Price Foundation is 'non-toxic farming.  

Please read the upcoming use and danger of Methyl Iodide in Santa Barbara County and what you can do.

Methyl Iodide Permit Issued in SB County

Trish Damen-Stone/P2P subscriber & food safety advocate  

I got confirmation today that the SB County Ag Commissioner's office issued a permit to a farmer in North County (Guadalupe area) for application of toxic methyl iodide. There is really nothing stopping them from issuing permits elsewhere in the county. It will be another Ventura county and the fog over the city.

You may want to read about our own CA DPR expert scientist team testifying as to the dangers of methyl iodide and then having the DPR bureaucracy issuing the go ahead (see below links). I have contacted Salud Carbajal, 1st District County Supervisor, who is concerned about the pesticide issue in North County where farm workers and their families are being exposed.

Let your farm friends and others know about this and have them contact their assigned senators/reps/supervisors. They need to educate and voice their concern to their elected officials. Good luck from a senator standpoint. Looking at Strickland's website, his focus is bringing back the NFL to LA. Argh. The one link I found that had anything to do with humanistic causes was at the very bottom CA E3 (environment, economy and education). Low and behold, the link went no where. So, I hold very little hope for our representation from a senator standpoint.

Assemblymembers.

South County - Assemblymember Das Williamsat: http://asmdc.org/members/a35/ Although he is our assemblymember, the harm is taking place outside of his area. Proactively though, he should be contacted. I have given him the heads up.
