Hi Everyone, I would like to share the link to this new film
http://www.hungryforchange.tv/online-premiere You can watch the premiere FREE FOR THE NEXT 10 DAYS, after that it is available to buy on dvd.
I've been waiting excitedly for the premiere for the last two weeks, and it's fabulously informative!
My favourite point made is how the tabaco companies added extra nicotine to get people quickly addicted to cigarettes so that you'd be a customer for life and that's exactly what major food companies and supermarkets are doing now to ensure they make as much money as possible on a regular basis from all people who are eating their processed and chemically produced foods by adding highly addictive substances like MSG, refined sugars, and aspartame to their products. Just like cigarettes, drugs and alcahol you feel great for a very short time as you're eating it and then feel bad afterwards and soon want more! These ingredients can be hidden under many many different names.
Are you.....fed up, lathargic, depressed?
feeling like you'd love to keep off extra weight?
Wanting to feel vibrant and healthy?
Addicted to foods - sugar, bread, fizzy drinks, diet drinks, junk, coffee, tea, cakes, alcohol, smoking?
Ill regularly with colds, headaches, bugs, or seriously ill?
Or do you have friends or family who would benefit from the film's information and help?
Please do give them the opportunity to watch it too X

And thank you so much for the opportunity to watch this for free xXxXx
Reflecting on our own journey and the changes we've made so far with many still to put into action.
Me and Luke have been conciously making changes in what we put into our bodies over the last 8 years, and bit by bit chipped away at old patterns and addictions to make big changes and felt huge rewards in return.
Along our journey we've sometimes stepped back and then forward again but kept our wish to create health and happienss strong and clear and every day is closer to our dream of living as respectfully and alongside nature as we can.
The difference in the way we feel now to the way we felt before making changes is
so huge, instead of feeling a rush of short lived excitement for junk foods,
alcohol and consumerism, it's been replaced by a steady consistant feeling of
fulfilment and satisfaction of simple things in life. Xx
Over the last 8 years we've left behind alcohol and tobacco and take away foods which were all things we indulged in on a weekly basis.
We introduced juicing, and enjoyed a fabulous month long juice feast cleanse, zeolites to bind and take toxins out of the body and enemas to help greatly in the cleansing process.
Introducing more raw foods as an alternative to cooking everything, upping the amount of raw and lessening the cooked stuff so that we could get as much of the vitamins, minerals and enzymes that our fruits and vegetables had to offer without destroying these through cooking.
Introduced home made smoothies and nut milks with superfoods such as chlorella, spirulina, barley grass, wheat grass, vitamineral green, vitamineral earth, hemp seed and oil, hemp protein, flax, cacao, lecithin, mesquite, lucuma, chia, and lots more fun foods to experement with. Some tasted strange to begin with but our pallets soon adjusted and creativity in the kitchen found new ways to combine things into delicious and fast to prepare recipes.
Bit by bit have been leaving behind processed foods in exchange for fresh produce and dried goods without sulphites, preservatives, additives and chemical nasties. Reading labels to see what's in products, making our own sauces and whatever we can for the store cupboard from fresh produce, and generally using common sense to stay away from anything which looks far from how it's meant to naturally.
Stopping eating sweets, cakes and sugar is the one I've found the hardest, and the one that I've stepped forward and back on the most. My addiction for sugar was so bad that one time when I made a clean sweep and got rid of all sugar products in the house, I wanted some so bad that I ate my homeopathic tablets (which were homeopathic drops on sugar pills) so I could get the sugar hit!
And bit by bit swapping to organic produce wherever possible.
Changing to collecting spring water instead of tap water which contains an insane amount of chemicals! Mother Earth is springing up mineral rich beautiful fresh water all over the place! Thanks to the help of Daniel Vitalis's informative videos and the free resource of
http://www.findaspring.com/ kindly set up and maintained by Daniel and LeighLon Anderson we can share our findings of springs and wells to collect water from all over the world. Do ask around or do your own research of springs and wells to make sure the water is fresh and safe and not contaminated. TDS meters are available to buy for water testing
http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=tds+meter&tag=googhydr-21&index=aps&hvadid=7211179693&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=482752781633838381&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&ref=pd_sl_92xmea50hf_bMoney - Changing to better foods some things seemed to be expensive at first look, but a little goes a long way! And with comparison to the price of junk 'food' and ready prepared convienience 'food', the money saved from not smoking, drinking alcohol and other consumer and un-nessecary expenses, plus how little your body actually needs to run on when you feed it quality not quantity, a healthy pantry of food shouldn't need to cost any more!
Time - A lot of experementation has gone on to find the best way to feed ourselves great things without spending loads of time preparing meals every day. We've settled into finding our best way for us to eat and get what we need to feel good by starting the day with juice or a smoothie and porridge, having a salad of some kind at lunch time, and a superfood milk on an evening, with occasional vegetarian fresh cooked dishes like potatoe, bean or rice dishes.
Fun, creativity and resourcefulness - There are so many ways to introduce changes to create a chemical free, healthy home for very little money, here are some of my favourite findings and ideas, please post any favourites you would like to share in the comments below...
*Sprouted seeds and grains are very nutricious and delicious and grow in abundance in just a jam jar, a piece of muslin cloth and an elastic band does a great job of covering the jar, here's a link to some easy instructions...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoaIpZZfcFc*Grow your own veg organically, if you don't have a garden you could grow in pots, window boxes or see what free land is available near you to grow on on Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall's free landshare website...
http://www.landshare.net/This is my favourite vegetable seed company
http://www.realseeds.co.uk/ Their seeds are true seeds which can be collected and dried for the next year's growing so you never have to buy seeds again, unlike most seed companies these days which sell seeds for vegetables which cannot produce seeds then you have to keep buying more every year, I know which sound more natural and I 'd rather eat!
Very cheap organic fruit! In late summer and autumn keep your eyes peeled for fruit trees in peoples gardens, more often than not you'll see the fruit rotting on the ground at the end of the season, either because the house owners can't eat all that their tree is producing and don't store it or because they don't bother eating any of what their tree is producing. I bet if you knocked the door to ask if they have any excess fruit for sale or if you caan pick it and give them a donation they'd probably say yes.
Food for free! Wild food is great because it's more natural and usually has lots more nutrition than cultivated produce sold in supermarkets. What free foods do you walk past every day? Blackberries? Nettles? Hazel nuts? to name a few. Richard Mabey's book Food For Free
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Food-Free-Richard-Mabey/dp/0002201593 is excellent and there are lots of free wild food walks going on all over the country.
*Learning to store produce throughout the winter months - Something our ancestors had to know for survival, there are so many ways to keep our wild pickings and home grown produce nurishing us all the way through till it starts growing again the next year, drying, dry storing, bottling, clamps, freezing etc.
*Organic Fibres - organic clothing can be expensive to buy in comparison to chemically mass produced clothing which is more widely available to everyone but there are some great bargains to be had on ebay for organic clothing new and pre loved.
*A Chemical Free Home - many recipes are available free online for how to make your own household natural cleaning products from cheap things such as lemons, salt, bicarbinate of soda and vinegar. I've never needed to use anything on our bathroom sink other than - using an old washing up scourer to clean the soap dish and then using the suds on the sponge from this to clean the sink and taps, it always comes up sparkling!
The lemons which are left after squeezing the juice out in a recipe are great for cleaning round the kitchen sink and taps with a bit of salt or bicarb.
*Making nut & seed milks - It's easy, all you need is a blender and a straining bag, here's one of the videos on youtube which shows you how
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiWiAHaBl7UIt's sooooo much cheaper and healthier than the processed soya/rice/nut milks in the supermarkets!
