Y2K & Your Food Announcement

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Sonoma County : One Thread

Dear Associate Believer,

As active Y2K Beacons who are also involved in helping people prepare for upcoming adversities, I'm sure you'll want to be updated about the work I'm doing both online and offline through The Food Circle. As a food-associated consultant and an organic activist, I've been advocating a healthier, whole food diet and a basic, community-based foodsystem for many years. Conceptually, because I'm a nutritionist and a chef, it makes perfect sense to align these purposes with Y2K preparedness and advocate a whole and organic diet as the most intelligent approach to an uncertain future. And you can help me in this, by communicating these values and letting people know about all this work--as I, like many of you, are working hard, at considerable cost and sacrifice, because this needs to be done NOW. Here is the Overview and a bit about each component: Y2K FAST FOOD FACTS, terse, timely "Just-In-Case/ In-a-Pinch/What to Do" tips, hints and info, are available FREE as a bi-weekly email news subscription from www.foodcircle.com.
