NOURISHING
TRADITIONAL DIETS: The Key to Vibrant Health—Room G/H
Animal fats, properly prepared whole grains, enzyme-enriched
foods and nourishing bone broths kept our ancestors healthy. Sally Fallon
Morell, author of Nourishing Traditions,
explains why you need these foods too. Beginning with a presentation of Dr.
Weston Price’s unforgettable photographs of healthy traditional peoples,
Sally explains the underlying factors in a variety of traditional diets that
conferred beauty, strength and complete freedom from disease on so-called
primitive populations.
