By eating the foods nature provided, our distant ancestors succeeded in building health for future generations. When we observe and honor Earth's ways and take our place in Earth's food chain, we benefit not only ourselves but all the interconnected family of life.

In our day, knowing how to produce, prepare and eat foods that will build health has become more difficult. Simplistic advice abounds, usually directing us to colorful packages on store shelves.

Food Is The Key aims to learn and restore a more practical food wisdom, one that will carry us safely into a future very different from the recent past. Whatever happens, people who cultivate a measure of food independence will be better prepared. Most fortunate of all will be those who help to create self-sufficient communities for their human and non-human neighbors.
