A Grass Roots Movement for Raw and Living Food: Things We Can Do
10 things we can all do
(Start out by selecting two options from the list below to help make yourself healthier and the world a better place)

- Look up the pH level of the 10 most common foods you eat and eliminate anything with a pH level less than 6
- Drink only bottled water from artesian wells (like Fiji)
- Eliminate dairy or only use raw dairy products
- Meditate 20 minutes a week
- Pick one super supplement to add to your daily regimen: bee pollen, blue-green algae, chlorella or spirulina as one of your daily supplements
11 things schools can do
- Provide organic lunches
- Serve lunches made with produce grown locally

- Train teachers on the relationship between nutrition and health
- Raise awareness about the relationship between nutrition and health
- Join up with socially conscious private industry

- Use healthy sweeteners like stevia and agave instead of sugar and artificial sweeteners in cafeteria food.
- Teach an elective course on meditation (Harlem public schools teach mediation to their students)
- Teach yoga during gym class — for boys and girls
10 things private industry can do
- Require all employees to participate in a company-sponsored nutritional training program.
- Feed employees fresh, natural, organic, and/or raw food in the cafeteria
- Serve blueberries and almonds at company meetings instead of coffee and donuts
- Provide incentives to employees to eat well (e.g. contests or recognition programs)

10 things the government can do
- Add pH content to food labels
- Require teaching nutrition (and its role in health) to grade school and high school students (state governments)
- Pass legislation to certify Naturopathic Doctors to practice in the 36 states that do not currently allow NDs to practice
- Post health warnings on refined sugar and refined sugar products
- Pass green legislation since more oxygen means less acidity
- Highly regulate and eventually phase out the non-organic farming industry
- Require schools to serve organic options for lunch
- Provide more resources and training on the food pyramid (mypyramid.com)
- Update the food pyramid annually with input from all segments of the population, not just industry. This would include input from private nutritionists, physicians, alternative medicine practitioners.
- Pilot all of these suggestions at one (or more) schools in each school district. After a year measure improvements in health, grades, and physical fitness.
