Sherry details the important parts of the book and encourages readers to find out how impossibilities are made possible in Johnson’s book, as well as how to plant your dreams and watch them grow. She brings up Johnson’s discussion of eating local in opposition to global, and how Johnson also talks about faults in our food system and profit of whole food-growing movement to readers.  She walks us through Johnson’s experiences in gardens on rooftops, balconies and growing gardens in schools.

Here is just a taste of the exciting events at the 3rd Annual Canadian Holistic Nutrition Conference. Just as she did last year, Meghan Telpner provided nationwide coverage for our event. Last year it was Elson Haas.
This year she featured Jeffrey Smith before the conference (more on Jeffrey later) and Michael Murray after. Check it out! And just like last year, Michael, Jeffrey and the exhibitors all commented on how impressed they were with the atttendees at our event. Holistic nutritionsts are making a strong impression.

Thank you, Meghan!

It is a great time to be in the holistic nutrition business or any nutrition business. It is listed # 8 in this articles identifying the best business opportunites this year. It seems teaching people about healthy food is popular. However, the public is still swayed by trends and false information so it is even more important that we get our standards in place so we can establish our credibility. This will translate into permanent recognition of what we do even after nutrition is no longer trendy.
