I had another great opportunity to speak about Natures Principle when I was invited to the Sustainable Living Festival (16-17 Feb). The festival promotes the concepts about the importance of using the resources of our planet wisely and in a fashion that is lasting (sustainable). As with Sustainable Living, the central idea of Natures Principle is harmony, however, not just on a global scale with respect to resources, but rather the harmony that we can achieve by eating food in the context of it’s bio-availability (For more info about my concept of Natures Principle apart from public speaking engagements, the tentative publishing date for the book is in September).

Last weekend I gave a talk and a cooking demonstration at the “A taste of Slow Food” festival, which is held every year. The event brings together people from all over the world who prefer their foods being farmed organically and sold to them directly by the farmer who produced it. It is all about giving the control of produce back to the local producer, whereby the end consumer has the chance to develop a personal relationship with the farmer again. Under the motto: “Good, clean and fair, with pleasure of taste” the festival attracts more and more people every year, many of them eager to become members of this great initiative.
So…what’s coming up?
I am heading off to the United States (Monterrey) this week where the prestigious TED conference is being held. Every year TED invites extraordinary people, who made a difference to our lives, to speak about their experiences and passion. In the past people, such as Al Gore, Bono and Richard Branson, passed on their wisdom. The event is in such demand that not only speakers are invited, but also the audience is hand-picked. Needless to say that I felt quite fortunate to be in the company of personalities like Meg Ryan and Robin Williams, who were also invited to come and listen to the talks this year. For inspiration please check out the TED website for more information. www.TED.com
Sherry,
I just found this site and think what you are doing is amazing! Can you tell me 2 things?
1) How was the TED Conference?
2) When are they going to have you as a speaker?
Take care and never stop on your mission….it’s that important!

This piece was a lifaeckjet that saved me from drowning.
Wow Beatrice, I’d love to know how so?
I picked up Dr Vandana Shiva from the Calgary Airport. She was in YYC to speak at a U of Calgary event. I asked her about her food justice advocacy, her involvement with Slow Food International and how that conflicted with the North America
n Slow Food movement which is essentially an elite dining club approach to food. She said it was indeed a concern but surprisingly, for this incredibly intelligent and well spoken woman, Dr Shiva was without a solution to the elitist food dilemma. Food Justice & Food Elitism are two completely different approaches to food. Food Elitism is about access to good food, in fact the best food possible, prepared by the best chefs, but only if you can afford it. Food Justice is good food for all, regardless of your financial capacity. Food Justice speaks to all of the ethical issues involved with food production & consumption.
