I mean I think it's important to recognize that one of the aspects of traditional diets is that people were not

individualistic. They were not just worried about themselves.

One of the things that really distinguishes the culture were not just worried about themselves.

One of the things that really distinguishes the cultures that Weston Price studied

from our society is that pretty much everybody in the culture ate the same way and ate the

same food in community.

And so you weren't a weirdo for eating these foods,

And so one of the pieces in the founding of Three Stone hearth was to create a community that supported

this kind of eating.

food's important recognizes that food is important and puts the attention into preparing the food that will be nourishing. Welcome to the Wise Traditions Podcast, sponsored by the Westinay Price Foundation for
