  • Whole Grains – Life Insurance you Eat

    Original Date: April 5, 2014
    Presenter: Bob Moore, Founder of Bob's Red Mill

    Throughout his life Bob Moore has felt a profound concern for the health of his family and the health of his community. As a young husband and father Bob was exposed to a number of books written by J. I. Rodale and Adelle Davis, among others, who wrote from the 1940s – 1960s about the problems with America’s food supply. Bob learned two things: first, that most of what should have been whole grain food was not whole grain, and secondly, there were precious little whole grain foods to be found in the marketplace.

    Bob will share the things he’s discovered about wholesome, healthy foods from those early days up to this present time – that food should be medicine to our bodies to keep us healthy and that highly processed food fails to accomplish that important need.

    Bob Moore’s business – Bob’s Red Mill Natural Foods – is successful in his mind in that over the past 42 years he has been able to greatly expand the availability of minimally processed whole grain foods throughout the communities of our country, Canada and 80 other countries around the world.

  • Death by Food Pyramid

    Original Date: April 5, 2014
    Presenter: Denise Minger

    The Food Guide Pyramid remains our most memorable icon of federal dietary advice — with its grain-based, fat-reduced message still steering the nation’s beliefs about what to eat. Yet the pyramid’s construction was driven by more than just human health, and its recommendations were ultimately as political as they were nutritional. This presentation discusses the pyramid’s little-known origins, exploring the limitations and potential harm of its advice — with special focus on how individual variation subverts the possibility of a single, optimal diet working equally well for all people.
