Video: A Green Drink for the American Spirit

Dear brothers and sisters,

We begin by celebrating vivacity with a green drink. It consists of living greens blended in springwater. We know of no food more healing than a green drink, a living legacy of the raw food movement.

We then watch Ben with Growveg as he guides us in producing a mass of strawberries. As always he is welcoming and vivacious.

Our garden tour contest is extended to Labor Day. We invite you to bring us along on a walking tour of your victory garden and win a gift certificate.

We follow with a breakfast delight – a warm almond breakfast sundae.

Shireen Kassam guides us in a lifestyle approach to preventing and surviving cancer.

Then Sean Johnson, a professor of astronomy, gives a talk on the history of the universe.

So there you have it -from strawberries to galaxies!

Maybe we wish you and family vibrantly alive good health, prosperity and success.

You’ll think of many other creative uses!

Roasted in Berkeley, CA

Living Tree Community Foods Organic Refined Avocado Oil is low in saturated fats and high in monounsaturated fats making it both healthy and multi-functional.

A Historian's Guide to the Galaxy with Sean Johnson

Remote image

We have studied many events in human history, we have delved a little bit into humanity before history, but today, we decided to learn more about time and space itself. Sean Johnson, a professor of Astronomy from the University of Michigan joins us to talk to us about the history of the universe. We answer questions like “How did our solar system form?” and “What is a galaxy?” and how big is the universe? It is the episode that answers questions about Life, Universe and Everything and we end with pet irritants on science fiction movies.
