>industrialized farms are able to provide, Sally

>Fallon has awakened families all over North

>America to the fact that if they want to live

>full and happy lives, they won't find the

>nutrition they need in packages at the grocery

>store and are going to have to put some effort

>into acquiring the quality of food that only

>small, owner-operated farms can provide. With

>the large network of " Weston A. Price groups "

>she has established in the U.S. and in Canada,

>she has undoubtedly saved more family farms in

>the last 10 years than any other person or

>Sally's lifelong interest in the subject of

>nutrition began in the early 1970s when she read

>Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by Weston A.

>Price. Called the " Darwin of

>Nutrition, " Price traveled the world over

>studying healthy primitive populations and their

>diets. The unforgettable photographs contained

>in his book document the beautiful facial

>structure and superb physiques of isolated

>groups consuming only whole, natural foods.

>

>Price noted that all of these diets contained a

>source of good quality animal fat, which

>provided numerous factors necessary for the full

>expression of our genetic potential and optimum

>health. Mrs. Fallon applied the principles of

>the Price research to the feeding of her own

>children, and proved for herself that a diet

>rich in animal fats, and containing the

>protective factors in old fashioned foodstuffs

>like cod liver oil, liver and eggs, make for

>sturdy cheerful children with a high immunity to

>illness

>

>Now is its second edition, Nourishing Traditions

>has stimulated the public health and medical

>communities to take a new look at the importance

>of traditional foods and preparation techniques,

>and to reexamine the many myths about saturated

>fats and cholesterol. The book places special

>emphasis on the feeding of babies and children

>to ensure optimal development during their

>crucial growing years.
