Video: Metaverse Man vs. Jeffersonian American
Dear brothers and sisters,
Facebook’s squandering of billions of dollars, thousands of workers and years of effort to build a high-tech, artificially intelligent virtual reality is an affront to 245 years of American history. Millions of hours of human labor, tragically enough, are being devoted to a system where people exist in immersive, virtual and shared spaces—they call it a “metaverse”. It represents a digital reality where people through an icon or a graphical representation of themselves, called an “avatar” would be able to enter offices, attend meetings, attend concerts with friends or try on clothes in stores, just as they would out in the real world. To access this garden of delights one would have to wear a virtual reality headset while being glued to a computer screen.
In place of this lunarscape there could be community gardens, edible landscapes, edible schoolyards and family farms. Its a matter of reclaiming our American heritage.
Let us close with the words of Thomas Jefferson:
“…cultivators of the earth are the most valuable citizens. they are the most vigorous, the most independent, the most virtuous, & they are tied to their country & wedded to it’s liberty & interests by the most lasting bands.”
With wishes of vibrant good heath to you and family,
Jesse Schwartz PhD

It is produced slowly, in small batches, to give it a wondrous, creamy texture.
Living Tree Community Foods Organic Cashew Butter is created in Berkeley, California from raw, sun dried and organic cashews.

Living Tree Community Foods raw Celtic Sea Salt is totally unprocessed, kosher and hand harvested. It is dried by the sun and the wind, retaining the ocean’s moisture and locking in a vast array of vital trace elements. This sea salt is a coarse, moist salt that gets a light grey hue from the pure clay sole it is harvested from.
Living Tree Community Foods Organic Yellow Cornmeal is grown in Oregon and stone-milled in Burlington, Washington. Established in 1974, the mill is a small family-run business aligned with Hummingbird values - supporting local growers, aiming to supply high quality wholesome foods, focused on organic, and expanding their gluten-free flours.
Living Tree Community Foods organic oat groats are whole oats with only the outer husk removed. Oats have more protein and healthy fats, and less carbohydrates than most other whole grains. This grain is high in beta-glucans, which work to stimulate the immune system. Oats contain more soluble fiber than any other grain.
Living Tree Community Foods Organic Cherry & Honey Filled Chocolate Bars are a true delight. We make chocolate from scratch and fill it with a smooth cherry and honey mixture. Kids and adults alike will love it.
