meals. However, the effects of clogging up our systems just
makes us tired, feel heavy, generally depressed and less able to
co-exist happily with all others. Modern products often lack a kind

Once upon a time, less than 100 years ago in fact, our planet and
its inhabitants were relatively happy and healthy. Whilst there was
little nutritional knowledge, there was plenty of hemp.
Communicable media was word of mouth and little more. Third
world countries were happy, with most causes of degenerative

increase in fried foods, biscuits and refined foods has re-balanced

Imagine a world without petrochemical products, fried foods,
refined flours, sugars, overcooked foods and toxins: a world with
chemical-free fruit and vegetables grown locally in abundance.
Imagine a world of exercise and leisure, sustainable and cost-free
power. With the advent of incredible communication technologies
the knowledge needed to make this possible is available to most
of us now, and soon to all the corners of the world. There are
internet cafes opening up in many developing countries, and
ADSL modems will make it easier and cheaper to expand access.
Today, with our modern advances, we have fewer excuses to live
lazy, comfortable lifestyles that cause irreparable damage to
