People who meet here are dedicated to living a quality life - with what they deem important for health and happiness.
You'll see that we're passionate about ways to enrich our lives, share our wisdom and cultivate a community of like-minded folks.
Most of us follow a flexitarian lifestyle... we are those who:
... want more micronutrients per calorie in their diet.
... understand that food has powerful disease-protecting and therapeutic effects.
... seeks to consume a broad array of micronutrients via their food choices.
The info above is from Dr. Joel Fuhrman, spokesman for Whole Foods Market. He's coined the term "Nutritarian."
We also are wanting to eat foods that are:
.... for the most part unprocessed.
.... low glycemic, meaning low carb, slow carb.
.... clean: free of anti-biotics, no added hormones.
.... local, sustainable, organic, biodynamic.
.... for some of us: pre-cultivation (ex: no grains) and pre-domestication (ex: no dairy).
The info above are the gold-standards for a paleolithic diet.
Fusion is for me, so I've realized that I need to call myself a "flexitarian" and hope that I can help others - like yourself - find what works for you.... by introducing/sharing these eating concepts and lifestyles:
raw, nutritirian, paleotarian diets.
In order to do that my goal is to focus on:
- whole food eating and cooking
- nutrition
- well being
- inner and outer exercise
- community
- sustainability
- consciousness and awareness
We'll have ....
- themed potlucks ( please read our FOOD GUIDELINES under the PAGES menu )
- outings
- field trips
- classes
- lectures
- evenings with authors
- dinners with featured guests
- movies
- concerts
- and more
We'll post our own events, and others, for-profit events, nonprofits. Here are examples of what I want to support and promote:
- Creating events of our own is best, please contact me, let's create our own trends, let's make history)
- Events originating from other Meet Up groups is ok
- Events sponsored by Community groups/orgs/colleagues
- Our own classes, lectures, workshops, catering gigs
Would you like to be a featured guest, host an event ... or .... ?
....if so, please contact me.
Most of the MeetUps will be in or near Cupertino/the South Bay and in the Walnut Creek area (where I used to live).
