Ecological Nutrition for life
Instructor: Dr. Adiel Tel-Oren
A two-day lecture, this course promises to be a fascinating journey through
our evolution, explaining the impact we have on our health and on our planet
as consumers and producers of food. Both logical and scientific methods will
be used to illustrate the optimal dietary lifestyle for humans, according to
evolutionary and anthropological signposts, including discussions about
proteins, fats, carbohydrates, animal flesh, dairy products, plant foods,
raw foods, living foods, and the effects of out eating habits and choices on
our physical, mental, and emotional health as individuals and as a society.
Many nutritional myths will be dispelled, and the commercial and health food
industries exposed (from canola oil to GMO's) as giant manufacturers of
dietary propoganda designed to produce huge profits at the public's expense.
The lecturewill prove the existence of an intimate correlation between the
health of humans and the health of the ecology; it will demonstrate how any
food choices that negatively impact our environment will inevitably destroy
our own health as well (and vice versa). A scientifically sound course of
action will be delineated to promote long-term health for our earth and
ourselves. This will not be a "fad diet" course or a shortsighted scheme
designed to create a popular best-selling book at the expense of our planet.
The USDA's "food pyramid" and its "building blocks" will be dismantled. You
will learn a simple, responsible, natural, logical, conscientious,
unadulterated human diet that produces drug-free health and longevity
without compromising our children's future. NUT 444P: 2 credits
