Don’t Panic, Eat Organic

As OCA, and a growing number of nutritionists, medical practitioners, and healers never tire of pointing out, a major defense against chronic disease, the flu, cancer, heart disease, is to cultivate a strong immune system, optimum Vitamin D levels, adequate Omega 6 intake, and a healthy  microbiome.

And of course, the best way to achieve this desired state is to grow, cook, and consume an organic and regenerative diet of fresh whole foods, and grass-fed or pastured meat and animal products (if you are an omnivore). In turn, this organic diet needs to be complimented by regular exercise, fresh air, sunshine, adequate sleep, positive thoughts, and natural herbs and dietary supplements.

In addition to highlighting positive solutions, it is important to keep in mind that people’s situations and perspectives are different. We all have different passions or priorities. One size or one approach does not fit all.

Therefore, we need to integrate our green justice and Regeneration messages with the specific issues and concerns that are most important to grassroots constituencies.

Only by starting from where people are at, and then connecting the dots, can we capture the attention and imagination of the global grassroots and get them to start thinking about how they can participate in the organic-regenerative movement and new economy.
