Video: Charles Darwin and “The Science”
Dear brothers and sisters,
We begin by seeing how Darwin’s conception of evolution by random variation and natural selection is more a reflection of the marketplace in the Victorian era than a proven conclusion. We also introduce Alfred Russel Wallace the co-originator of the theory; his outlook was far broader and more encompassing.
Next, Ben with GrowVeg tells us what to plant in October.
We are delighted to offer the new crop of medjool dates. They are grown by California family farmers. Our Alive Honeycomb is back in stock after a long absence, as well.
May we remind you that our October sale featuring Walnut Butter, Black Sesame Tahini and Tibetan Black Barley is about to come to an end.
Jeffrey Smith follows with anecdotes from his 26 years of activism to preserve the genetic foundations of existence.
We conclude with as Alan Goldhamer DC gives a brilliant and perceptive talk on the benefits of fasting.
Please accept our best wishes for good health, prosperity and success to you and your family,
Jesse Schwartz PhD
President

Living Tree Community Foods Organic Walnut Butter is created in Berkeley, California from raw organic walnuts grown by American family farmers. We make it by slicing raw walnuts into a luxurious spread then seasoning it with a little Royal Himalayan Pink Crystal Salt. Try it on apple slices or carrot sticks, with some raisins and honey drizzled on top.
Living Tree Community Foods Organic Black Sesame Tahini is created in Berkeley, California from alive, raw organic black sesame seeds grown by family farmers. We make it by slicing raw black sesame seeds into a luxurious spread then adding organic black sesame oil. An excellent source of calcium.
Living Tree Community Foods Raw Organic Tibetan Black Barley is provided by Oregon Grain & Bean, with this crop grown on an organic farm in Idaho. Tibetan Black Barley, with its bran intact, retains its firm, plump texture during cooking, making it perfect in soups, stuffings and stews. It’s also great when mixed with other grains due to its somewhat chewy, contrasting texture.
