THC 46: James Colquhoun | Food Matters & Hungry For Change

00:04 In the 1930s, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt addressed a nation through a series of radio broadcast known as the Fireside Chats. His aim was to reassure the common man that our society would recover from its troubled times. But what F-30 and I do are different kind of fire. For a new era of worldly frustration we offer a fresh conversation! I'm Greg Carlowitz on The Hireside Chats It's another Sunday Funday here in San Diego, Hireside Chatters. Welcome and thank you for attending the Church of Carlwood! If you're sick of sacrificing yourself every morning on the altar of abysmal self-image and piss poor health like I am then today is a good day to be tuning into THC we're going to get a serious lesson in modern day nutrition from James Colquhoun, director of

00:53 and the director and producer of the great documentaries food matters and hungry for change but first i'm here to shoot this shit with my good friend occasional co-host kyle pernivale kyle what's happening how are you greg doing great fresh off your second installment of the capitalism retreat very good stuff in there man do you feel like he covered all at this point is it going to be a third I'm not going to do three consecutive. I feel good about the second one particularly, I feel like that one really solidified a lot of my points but i just wanted to open it up you know because there's been a lot of guests and even Jake wrote in his blog posts that he is generally just a fan of capitalism and I mean not that that's fault anybody but to really

01:37 take capitalism as a system compared to other systems, I feel like it's not a very good one. Agreed! It's just sad we don't see more options There is really good interview bit maybe we can put link in this episode or something like that but it's speech by little talk by David Graber who is prominent anarchist one of the guys who started Occupy Wall Street and he said all the arguments about capitalism in past The high tide rises even the small boats and you know if we all start doing good, the economy becomes a trend and now everybody's doing well. Supposedly those are all myths that was all proven false and now the only thing that they argue is there is no other option besides capitalism which I think it's ridiculous as well

02:23 100% agree. When you look at something like a resource-based economy, it's a little scary because the transition is what everybody gets worried about It's easy to see the other side and be like oh yeah the Venus project looks awesome But how do we get there from here? You know what's gonna happen in The day that money stops having value will I be able to eat that day Like before we get this worked out into a new system so that's kind of I think what scares people Yeah, definitely. A lot of people fear that the collapse is going to happen before we have the alternatives in place but capitalism prevents us from even exploring the alternatives so you kind of have to as a sovereign person and as a community member do these little ventures that it's like mutual support everybody gets a piece of it everybody chips in on it money involved as little as possible

03:16 and like there's this little communities have alternative currencies and I think this is very cool idea to be a big thing in the future local communities that can actually provide for the local community rather than everybody in the community gives their money eventually to Target or McDonald's or whatever these CEOs are of these enormous corporations and all the monies, all the money you make working constantly slaving away goes out of the community so everybody in your community just spends themselves poor.

03:54 and disconnected from each other so we got a lot to change. Well it's funny you point that out because lately I've been really annoyed by the damn Girl Scouts outside of the grocery store where i have to go every day before I go into work, I go this grocery store and its just annoying cause im super stoned and Im not putting out a vibe that I want to be talked too, Im not pleasant Parents are standing there and I have to kind of be like no, no thank you because otherwise. I'm a huge asshole cuz they're little kids But it got me thinking about how convenient for the cookie Corporation that you can use child labor that you don't have to pay That are cute little girls And this whole system is perpetuated that oh You can't really say no to these little girls and these cookies are better than all other cookies like obviously that's just marketing but how fortunate for the cookie corporation? I actually looked it up

04:44 A box of Girl Scout cookies is $3.50, of that 90 cents goes to the cookie corporation 65 cents goes to the individual troop The girls standing there making the physical sales get 65 cents of every 350 a dollar 95 goes to the Girl Scouts of America Council It's no different than my job I'm making the physical sales...I don't make enough money to own a home but i run a two million dollar store It's ridiculous. And I've been undermining my entire district by talking to all the store managers and being like, guys we run million dollar stores how many of us can own a home? Most of them are in their 30s and living with roommates like living with buddies. You like this job you like this corporation where is this going? What are you gonna do in five years if this company isn't here no one even understands that their situation is shitty already

05:39 Like that's kind of the one of the biggest illusions is people think they're in a good situation when you when you really look at it It's not good. No, it's not good and a lot of people just aren't honest about that or are they? They want to just treat it as symptoms and they wanted us as with this guy talks about with food You know, you just make an impulse buy you just I want wild cherry Pepsi because fuck my day, you know And that's what it is for a lot of people like I need a muffin because I can't fucking stand my boss or I need just something to snack on while I'm driving 40 minutes to work every day, to and from. It adds up on people and so how do we make better choices? How do we just get ... ? I don't know. With food and nutrition you can start to feel better within which helps your day.

06:31 Go on but like at the same time if you're working forty hours a week for corporation. They are using you as the model, your face, your front man. The corporation doesn't even exist without you actually carrying out their transactions But if you get like older ugly or hurt or something like it's like alright fuck you man we'll just discard you and replace with another face Because there's all these young faces constantly in bloom. It's a resource that keeps producing more and more young people, and we're like sweet let's fleece all the young people they get paid nothing that the old assholes own everything All the people who work the poor jobs rent from the older generation of assholes who own everything

07:19 And we eat our own young. It's a lot like dinosaurs, you know? They just consume the young because we're like, We just have to hold on to what we have! We're white...We're older.. We have fucking property. We're not gonna let these other races of these young people fucking take it from us and they have no vision about the way things should be there. They think its sweet. Jack in the box saves everything Well, I'm glad we are doing an episode on food nutrition. I mean have done this once before Mine is awful and terrible but I do feel like one out of every ten shows or so should be about this

09:43 Alright everybody, we're two months into the new year and if you're like me that means by now your goals and aspirations for health and wellness in 2013 have been derailed like a Amtrak train. We truth seekers are not ignorant to the food manipulation by our greediest corporations but we keep letting them bang us every day! And it's easy to distract ourselves with false flag attacks and chemtrails and vaccines but what difference does any of it make if were still eating and drinking their poison slop? Today we have nutritionist James Colquhoun, director and producer of both Food Matters and Hungry for Change here to try to help us break the cycle. Give us some of the education that we were denied in school and teach how to take care ourselves a little bit better. James thanks for being here with Kyle and I welcome to show

10:25 It's great to be here, Greg. Thanks guys! Absolutely yeah I loved your movies me and Kyle both watched them this week what got you started in the whole nutrition field? What made this your life's work well it was really an illness in my own family my father was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome he was bedridden for five years and the worst part was that he abjugated responsibility of his health to the medical profession because he, like many of us we turn to the medical profession when looking for help with a chronic illness. And as a result that was prescribed many different types of medications and they would continually change his medications in order to try find this perfect cocktail that would alleviate all of his symptomatology and make him miraculously well which was never offered is any form of hope but they would continue trying

11:20 What we found, and this was concurrently as I was studying nutrition. Was that these medications were having horrific side effects on him the medical profession knew about this they knew these drugs wouldn't help him but he was the perfect client In the eyes of the pharmaceutical industry, the perfect customer is someone that will take your drugs from the day they're diagnosed with a particular condition until they die. We saw this and we saw through it and were trying to get to my dad and that was part of the whole story of his transformation. It was horrible situation and I don't wish it upon anybody but unfortunately happening to a lot people right now.

12:00 That is a super sad story, but I guess your movies are doing a lot of good work and they're saving some lives. We were looking for a way to help convince my father about the dangers of the pharmaceutical industry, the dangers of food and agricultural industry. Understanding more of the back story behind economics in those industries so that we could convince him to change his viewpoint on drugs are the answer to food is better medicine than drugs. These interviews and what became Food Matters, our first film really shocked him into losing faith in the pharmaceutical industry.

12:44 He caused a massive turnaround in his health. He went on to lose 50 pounds, started having sprouts for breakfast and green juices and all sorts of raw foods and went off all six of these medications and has never touched them since. That was like five years ago so there's just so much hope out there when people can really lift the veil on this industry and see through it and see what it really is. Absolutely. And I wanted to kind of start by saying, I have several co-hosts that cycle through the show and I purposely scheduled this show with Kyle because we've been friends for 20 years and I'd say the biggest difference between our lifestyles is that Kyle really has converted to being a vegetarian and actively seeks out healthy foods

13:26 And I eat fast food five to seven days a week, have never eaten a salad in my life. Never ever drink water almost always just soda and energy drinks. Sometimes I do drink a little orange juice with my alcohol but I'm stuck in these habits and I don't want this to be about me and I don't want to be stuck in this but I think a lot of people are sick of eating like shit and if they're honest with themselves It's going to take some work and you got to help us get back on track, James. Tell me ... Let's talk a little bit about how deeply diet like the one I just described really does damage us? Well, I think one of the really important things to consider Greg as we get into that question is that

14:11 You're consuming these foods and you're having fun doing it. I mean, you're treating your mouth like an amusement park. Ryan Yerrickson In more ways than one! Tyrone Rommers You go from day to day. And Kyle on the other hand has made this change so what's the difference here? Let's have a look behind this. What's really interesting when you start to understand is that in fact food industry Wants you to eat more of their foods So what do they do? They chemically manipulate the foods in order to make you addicted to them so that you keep buying them over and over again and You're going for that food to get that That high that momentary high that momentary feeling of elation if you get from having the fast-food from having me The sweetened sodas or from having, you know, the you know the deep fried foods and You know whats

15:02 also happens when you consume these foods is that your body starts to break down. This is just proof of the fact that we have never experienced higher rates of diet and lifestyle-related disease in the whole history all humanity We have diabetes spinning out of control. Kids are getting it and it's very much diet loss over that. I speak to the best doctors and clinical researchers in the world, and they say treating type 2 diabetes is as easy as slipping off a wet log. You literally change someone's diet, you control their blood sugar, and they're off their meds but let's not tell Diabetes Association this right?

15:41 So then, these foods are clearly having an impact on us along with the toxicity and chemtrails all these crazy things that exist out there that didn't exists again a hundred years ago. We've got agricultural chemicals which horrifically toxic and just really entering their way into the food system. Then we got genetically modified foods, which we know are causing cancers in long-term studies—consumption studies on animals. So if you take this information it's a little wonder that we're experiencing such high rates of disease." What's great to realize is that this can be turned around. I think for yourself, Greg, you might have not yet fallen over from a heart attack. You might not yet have diabetes. You might not yet have the big C word and I don't wish any of that upon you but you have to realize that this way of living and interacting with your food could very likely lead to something like that in

16:38 Statistically, it's fact. I don't want to alarm you with this but Kyle and I are going to gang up on you until you commit to this on the show right now. A lot of people take action when they have a critical event happen in their life, whether their dad got sick like in my instance or whether they get sick. Everybody has different motivation on whether they want to get that girl and lose their stomach or whether the girl wants to get the guy and lose her stomach. We all turn into cleaning up our lifestyle and our diets motivated by different factors

17:19 For you, it might be the fact that you really understand these companies are willingly and knowingly manipulating the food. Manipulating chemical additives to go into foods make you addicted to them. You don't want to be a slave of those companies anymore than I do so let's break free from that. That is what I say." Hey, hear here. But you know, you mentioned the GMOs that are known to cause cancer I have a friend who is in the biology field and he's kind of a conventional thinker and he looks at people who are afraid of GMOs as just being irrational He's like there's plenty of studies that show blah blah blah but Hungry for Change it touches on the corruption between junk food manufacturers And the FDA and I think what a lot of people would probably be surprised to hear how that works Can you walk us through that a little bit?

18:07 Well, one of the big problems we have with our regulatory bodies here in the US and for that matter in every Western developed country in the world is a revolving door syndrome. So we have people going from industry into FDA and then people going from FDA back to industry. And worse yet it's the industries responsibility to test and prove their products safe and then present those studies to market, to the FDA for approval What is ludicrous, taking drug studies for instance. Is that the drug companies need to prove that their drug is more effective than a placebo in two studies

18:45 That doesn't mean they can do 98 studies that fail and have two studies that succeed and present those two to the FDA. Get approval for their medication, similar things in the food side of it as well. What's interesting is they only test many other studies that have been submitted to the FDA for genetically modified foods. They're only tested in a short period of time like say up to 90 days But then most of the effects happen after 90 days. So you've got many European countries that have done long-term studies and they're like, this is crazy! There's no way we're allowing genetically modified foods into our food chain. We are banning this and lots of European and EU countries have done that

19:24 And that in America and in Australia, which we're letting more into Australia now. In America we have these less than 90 day short term studies submitted to the regulatory agency for approval they get approved and then were all told it's completely safe So like so many things these days We need to become our own case agents and we really need to be so cautious and aware of everything we're consuming if you grab a snack down at the corner store If it's got canola oil or soy oil in it and it's not certified organic, or GMO free then that's GMO. It's got corn products on maize products or corn starch or high fructose corn syrup is coming from GMO corn. Long term studies are no good so we need to try steer clear of that."

20:10 I think what they fail to like, think about with genetically modifying crops is that what a company like Monsanto will do is change only one gene and the idea that changing only one gene will result in you know they do it for resistance to their then their own pesticides and other things as well but when a seed naturally goes through a life cycle and becomes produces another seed for the next generation, it has taken on thousands of chemical processes that we do not understand at all. Nature is much much more complex and evolved than Monsanto's chemical processes they really only change one gene and they don't know the consequence of what that does but

20:59 They hold that as intellectual property and then it creates a whole problem all around the world. Absolutely, I think that the concept of intellectual property over something that exists in nature is really interesting debate for them to be able to manipulate the gene in particular like for instance injecting genes of soul fish or flounder into tomatoes so its resistant to frost they can create that as intellectual property But, that is just not right. I don't feel on some level there's just no something right with that and the worst thing is the terminator seeds so they create these seeds that the farmers have to buy and then plant and then instead of that plant going to fruit and them harvesting the fruit or the nut or the seed and collecting seed for next year planting

21:51 Those seeds are actually sterile, so that they have to go and repurchase seeds off Monsanto. It makes good economic business sense for Monsanto to do that but it doesn't make natural biological sense in the environment and so we've got Terminator seeds and these are just I feel on some grounds it just doesn't feel right. We've collected seeds for years, we started domestication of grass and barley and wheat about 11500-11800 years ago At the same time, we're starting domestication of some animals. Since that time we've collected seeds and planted them and kept this relationship with the environment. Now, the seeds are dead after crop and then you need to go buy more from this company. Who came up with that? It's like George Orwellianism! Yes it is very jacked-up but something me and Kyle were just talking about before we brought you in was

22:49 Will problems like these ever be solved within the framework of capitalism, the way we treat our environment? The way it becomes a rationale to use Terminator seeds because you can look at it from a business sense and Joe Schmo will be like oh well You know makes sense. Makes sense when you factor in capitalism but is capitalism more important than worldwide health because we seem to have an attitude right now that it is That's a great and amazing question. I think that the capitalist system is probably one of the better or worst systems that exist in the modern world, and we can use it for good but people are very easily corrupted by greed and wealth

23:39 When a company's main ethos is to be responsible to adding more value to shareholders investment Then that's going to lead to all sorts of ills committed against humanity Where I think we're coming into an era now, and I'm more of a optimist than a pessimist right but I feel that we're coming into an era where companies can sort of dance this line between being a for-profit company and doing a great amount of good to the world. Before it used to be you have non-profits that did good, and then you have for profits that commit evil right? To make money! And now I feel its coming together we're seeing more consciousness in business and its really tricky place to have consciousness because money comes into it and money has energy but I feel that exists and I see that more companies are opening up to this as they do that they're getting more

24:35 I guess good vibes happening with that. Like Tom's Shoes is one example, you buy a pair of shoes and they give a pair of shoes to a child in Africa. You know, don't always believe giving shoes to kids in Africa it's a good thing because actually barefoots better than wearing shoes so we should be all barefoot and not wearing shoes but its an example of the company trying to do some good and really commit something to the world just like where trying disseminate this information about helping people break free from the pharmaceutical industry People buy our film, they're investing in us as a company and then from that we can make another film and reach more people. So I feel that we're trying to interact in that environment as well. Trying to convert the Monsantos and the GlaxoSmithKlines and the Bayers of this world to conscious loving organizations that are here for the good of humanity and benefiting patron outcomes is going to be one helluva difficult task but

25:31 I think it's a noble goal and it should be something that we strive for because its not going to be a system thats completely eradicated overnight. But the challenge goes far deeper with that when you realize that the Federal Reserve is a private shareholding organization that prints money so then Really messes everything up and you lose all hope but I think we should still try hold on to this group of it And everyone should try to consume and buy things that are good like if you buy organics You're voting with your shopping trolley your shopping cart. If you buy local food, you're supporting a local farmer if you buy films that are about uncovering the stuff if you listen to this radio station support it you're Supporting the evolution of this good that's gonna get out there so I believe in capitalism There we go Oh man

26:19 I just personally have to disagree. It is a bit of an illusion that with our proper consumer choices, we can somehow fix the condition of the world and I do agree that companies like Tom's Shoes are building a corporation on top of ethics which previously didn't exist at all And so that is a movement in the right direction but i really feel like, the one two punch comes not only from corporations like man santo which the real answer and my opinion as an activist should be they shouldn't be allowed to exist yet they are allowed to exist because of people except that what they're doing is not toxic and criminal and insane.

26:57 But we allow them to exist and here they are. The second punch comes from government which puts all their subsidies in the farmers that treat the soil like it is an enemy They're attacking the soil and they're fighting, they do these giant monocultured crops and they are pouring chemicals on it because they are just like I need death in order to grow my corn. I need liquid death just to kill larva all pests and everything you get into this in your films so I think its interesting that government that we elect pay farmers to do this rather than

27:34 Getting together little collectives where we can do locally produced organic produce which is proven to work and I think that's the stuff in the right direction. I don't think a corporation We can't Monsanto our way out of all these food problems Yeah, no you're like I do agree with you as well equally on both of those points and the problem with the subsidies is we have Lobby and advisory boards lobbying our governments in the US Australia United Kingdom all throughout Western Europe saying hey GMO is safe or pharmaceutical drugs are good for the people and That's because they're put there by industry, and they pay them a lot of money to be there so this is such a corrupt system, and it's not an easy one to break down but I

28:16 I mean, there's a lot of people doing work from the top down and you know, like that. I was sitting in on a meeting the other day here on this commission on human rights who wants to basically get awareness out there about psychotropic drugging and they're working on congressmen and members state trying to get all this and I'm just like good for you but I've just – There is no way I am going to fight that battle because it's just unwinnable. I think it has to come from the people. If the people boycott genetically modified foods, then those government subsidies are going to go to waste! But it's a tough thing, you're right. There are some countries where that is happening, right? Some produce-producing countries are actually kicking Monsanto out. I think I've read some headlines like that...

29:01 I think there's been a lot of uprising in India over the last few years because Monsanto has made a big effort to get into India as part of their green revolution. These poor farmers, when they don't make a return on their crops that is significant enough for them to cover the lease of their land. They're committing suicide by drinking the pesticides from the same company and there was over 1000 deaths last year committed in this fashion but we were all organic before the 1930s

29:37 It was nothing was pesticides before then and then after World War two they converted all those death killing drugs from the genocide of World War two into Killing bugs and pesticides, and it's just it's not You know, it got momentary increase in yields but it's not going to help we need to look after the soil the soils where the bugs and The D this life-form exists on levels. We can hardly comprehend and chemicals kill that life form and Humus mulch and organic matter you know really build it up And we need to acknowledge that that's how the world has existed for so many more years before we thought we were smarter than it

30:17 Hey, I totally agree. Let's talk a little bit about diet. You know? I actually made the mistake of watching your movies this week with my girlfriend and now she is sort of forcing me to take action and it seems like way too much for someone like me but if we're starting small and you were coaching someone with a horrible diet what would say is the first thing that you've got to eliminate? Is it the french fries or soda Well, first thing is I would not and this is going to sound controversial but I love it. Is not to eliminate anything So, because when you start to eliminate things from your diet you go into what's called the diet mentality and it puts you in a diet trap. And when we talk about elimination people run like you got to cut out milk from your diet or you've got to cut out soda. If I started telling this you're going to be like great that guy was so nice on that radio show but no way I'm doing it! And if you look at the history of diets which we talked about more now most recent film Hungry for Change

31:13 All these fad diets have not really worked long term. They come and go, people lose weight and they put it back on. Really great statistics is that in the US there's $60 billion a year spent on diet and weight loss related products UCLA and Berkeley have shown that up to two-thirds of people who go on a diet, thatís $40 billion worth of product fail and regain more weight than when they started. So diets donít work in this whole illusion of letís eliminate this and manipulate the ratio calories to fat to carbohydrates is momentarily going to affect your metabolism and might cause you to lose weight.

31:54 But then you put it back on eventually. The best strategy we've got, and here's the solution is to add in the good stuff that's all you gotta do. So don't change anything keep your fries keep your fast food however much I hate this hate to say that. It's like weaning someone off of heroin you gotta do it one step at a time. Step at a time so I think one of the most powerful things to add if you had to choose would be green vegetable juices, freshly squeezed at home. And if you don't want to buy a juicer I've got another solution for you and it's a green powder like a barley grass or wheatgrass powder or barley-wheatgrass-spirulina grass powder mixed in with water now that's going to taste less good than the green vegetable juice so probably motivate you a little bit more get a juicier but you can get a juicer now for 100 bucks or less

32:43 If you just did this once each morning for 30 days and you didn't change anything else in your diet, you would experience a massive revolution in your health. You would naturally want to move towards eating more of these foods because of how good do you feel? So juice up celery, cucumber, kale, lemon—those sorts of things. Maybe a little bit of apples to sweeten it if you feel that you need that but you don't have to have that in there and that is going to cleanse and alkalize and support your organs, your body like you can't even imagine.

33:20 This is the quickest. Even if you've got a beaten up digestive system, you've got poor probiotic gut bacteria and you're not digesting and assimilating your nutrients very well because you'd be eating a lot of fast food or a lot of gluten... If you get that juice in it just goes straight through the cell walls of your guts straight into your bloodstream and you get that instantaneous like flood of nutrients and cleansing minerals to your body. So my suggestion would be just to have that only, and add that in as you go, you can start doing more additions like add a salad with your lunch I know that sounds crazy when you don't eat salads. I know! My girlfriend cannot believe that i've never eaten a salad And the truth is that I really only eat hot food Hot meat and hot french fries and things coming out from the fryer

34:09 If it's not hot, it tastes kind of gross to me. So a room temperature salad? It is what it is! Obviously I can't really like this forever... Why don't you make a hot salad? Take a salad right? Take a bed of greens Throw in the microwave? No do not put things in the microwave! Throw your microwave out that's what you got to do with that thing You don't want like a napalm microwave death machine in your kitchen So, radiation machine. What you do is you take a salad and you bake up ... How do you say bake in the US? Broil? Bake? Bake and broil? Yeah there's a broil setting on my oven I don't use it much. Cut up some sweet potatoes are great ones or yams cut up some sweet potato yams

34:54 Put that in the oven and some potatoes. Roast them until they're nice, you can put a little bit of garlic in there if you want. Once they're roasted put that on top of your salad and you can have, if you like, a little bit of yogurt or a little bit of dressing with olive oil lemon juice or hemp seed oil lemon juice something like this. You've got the hot roasted veggies cauliflower that sort of thing there with the greens. That's a warm salad dish. That's actually, I like that solution. That's not bad but ... Maxwell 1 That sort of tricking you into eating a salad. Dylan Cole Right yeah that's ... I'm going to have to use those kind of tricks because my body and mind are not going to be getting along for the next couple weeks I don't think. But what about the idea that heat causes nutrients to come out of food? I think that's a big part of Food Matters. Maxwell It is and what's really interesting is with Food Matters we were looking at

35:46 If you've got people that have chronic illness, cancer heart disease diabetes depression mental illness these sorts of ones that we know are the main ones of dying lifestyle and then we look at okay what has been happening in the underground health world for like a hundred years. What's been happening in that world or longer? that has been causing people to recover from those illnesses. When you look at what makes people recover from those illnesses, like actually get rid of them—I'm not allowed to say the cure word but get rid of them—then if you look at what the similarities are between then there's a lot of raw food in there like uncooked unadulterated fruits, vegetables, nuts seeds etc

36:33 herbs and sea vegetables, that sort of stuff. That's really interesting and then you start to look at some of the research on raw foods and you find out that when you cook a food or you raise it above the temperature which is about 112-114 degrees Fahrenheit for a period of time or even a short period of time, you kill off a lot of enzymes in that food. Additionally, you kill off a lot of heat sensitive vitamins and some of the mineral content So, by cooking food you're actually reducing the nutrient content of that food and you're reducing the enzymatic content of that food which helps you break it down and assimilate and use a lot of nutrients from your food. A high raw food diet is super powerful for people who have these chronic illnesses but want to get off them now if you believe in the fact

37:24 If you believe in the fact that the cure is the same as prevention, then if you wanted to prevent a lot of those diseases then you need to eat high raw food diet. Now what I'm also wary about is we don't need to eat 100% raw and a lot people who have extremist personalities come into raw food and they're like this is perfect! I can eat 100% raw or vegan or this. And I am really cautious taking out that dogmatic association with I am this or I am 80% raw, 90% raw. We should just understand the fact that if you grew a garden in your backyard and planted tomatoes, vegetables, cucumbers, celery... If you watch that grow and all that energy goes into it, you want to eat it straight from the garden! That's the fun part! You don't want to take that tomato that you've nurtured up and chop it to bits and throw it into stew and let go of nothing.

38:17 But it's really interacting with that live fruits and vegetables, and juicing them as well. So when you start to do that you bring this life force energy into your body which is going to heal your body give you more energy make you feel more alive. It's a powerful thing to do! And that's part of the raw food story Yeah, I absolutely love gardening. Our last year was our very first year gardening and just working hands-on with the plants watching it grow eating fresh tomatoes that are warmed by the sun off the vine. It's indescribable what they sell at the store and call a tomato is a joke compared to what it actually tastes like

39:02 That's the example everybody knows, but all fruit and all vegetables that you grow yourself have this certain kind of connection where you just feel like man this is so good. You just feel good about producing it. Absolutely! Is Greg laughing right now? He's like there's no way I'm not going to eat a salad. There's no way he'll get me gardening. But, Greg we did this for so long. We gardened and got our hands dirty and interacted with our soil and most importantly, a lot of people don't know this but I want to talk about it, our manure and sewage became our soil

39:40 So, our bacteria was feeding the bacteria in the soil and creating an environment for these foods to thrive in a bacteria-rich soil environment. That's really important—to have that compost and breaking down all of our old plant matter and our plant material back into the soil. That creates such an incredible environment in the soil for these foods to grow. When they grow in that environment it's completely different than something growing an environment devoid of minerals where they're just dumping petrochemical extracted minerals onto the soil in the form of NPK or nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. That's it. They're sticking this fertilizer onto the soil

40:21 spraying it to keep the bugs away because the plants are deficient in minerals so they become weak and immune systems which means they're more open being attacked by pests, same as a human body or disease. Then we spray them and then we've got deficient devoid nutrient depleted food is going into our food system for all of us to eat and no wonder were getting sick! So that's it's really interesting connection I'm really glad Kyle you're gardening thats awesome Yeah, I had said another question too and this is a little bit off topic but it's in relation to gardening. It's relation to sunlight and that uh... i have a bit of an esoteric like interest and um part what i'm interested in is how people relate to themselves as animals and i guess mostly because they're mobile when we see animals moving around but we don't see plants moving so we don't really ourselves the plants but i was wondering uh... how much

41:17 Do you feel the lack of sunlight and vitamin D deficiency is kind of like a plague or problem for people right now? I think it's huge problem. It has been identified as one of the most common nutrients that we're lacking, vitamin B and many people have vitamin D deficiency. What I think is really interesting from history perspective, and you might agree or disagree with me on this. As we moved from more subtropical environments to more temperate and cooler climates particularly in Europe a lot of the European cultures would consume raw dairy products and or cultured dairy products

41:58 Also, a lot of the traditional cultures that did eat animal products would often only eat the organ meats first. If you think about this and look at studies on vitamin D those parts of animal body if you don't live in area that has a lot of sunlight then milk and also the organ meats are concentrated sunlight So, it's such an important thing that I'm not saying we should eat them. What I am saying is that historically is really interesting how we try to adapt to this concept of having vitamin D deficiency

42:37 It's rife in the United Kingdom and especially in many parts of the world where they call it sunlight affection deficiency or something. It's sad basically, that's one of the places where the acronym came from. Vitamin D is such an important thing and the best way we can get at this sunlight If you live in an area where there's zero sunlight for six months of the year, you may need to consider supplementing it or having it on other forms. But sunlight is such important thing because how it enters the skin and converts the cholesterol that naturally exists in our body into vitamin D which is almost a hormone nanovitamin that circulates within our body. We need to get sunlight just like plants needs sunlight as well.

43:27 I definitely feel like i've been suffering from that myself. Just the 9-5 job keeps you inside during sunlight hours and then on my days off, recording a podcast editing a podcast it's not until the sun goes down that I'm really free to enjoy myself so yeah that's probably another problem and I live in San Diego paying this high premium rent never go outside I feel like I should do that. I think the solution is, some basic things we need to do because we're in such a disconnected world now is A walk barefoot on the ground at least once a day. We're so affected by electromagnetic frequencies and radiation that we need to walk barefoot to de-charge ourselves and re-earth and reconnect with earth

44:12 It seems pretty new-agey, but I have heard that from several sources. That there's just something about it that actually is beneficial in some way Well its new agey but its not like theres you can hook up voltmeters and all these Stuff to your fingers and actually sense and if I'm holding an iPhone or a laptop Or I'm near a wife like I can see there's current running through my body And then if I put my foot barefoot on the ground even while I'm near them it earths straight off me, and it no longer accumulates in my body so all this electromagnetic frequencies and radiations are affecting us in crazy ways and you know There's also another documentary on this

44:50 I saw recently and they banned cell phone towers within 5 kilometers, which is about 2 and a bit miles from all schools throughout Scandinavia because of how the electromagnetic frequency affects children and younger babies. It actually disrupts the signaling in their DNA and can cause cancer in them. You see cancer clusters in towns that live close to these cell phone towers, so walking barefoot can help eliminate a lot of that and get it off your body especially barefoot on sand. So you're paying for the premium in San Diego. Get on the sand Greg! I feel like I'm going to have to institute so many changes. One of the big problems with diet to me is

45:30 It just takes so much foresight and planning. And I guess, you know a lot of people who do it every day say well it doesn't have to but I mean it really does because on a 30-minute lunch break where can someone go if someone didn't pre prepare and you got a 30 minute lunch break Can you do anything good for yourself or is it just all going to be damage? You can, of course you can. It's just a matter of like pull out your phone and get your maps and see if you can find something that's organic at least so if you're not able to get something that has got some salad or some roll with it find something that's clean food that hasn't had these pesticides or these toxins put into it because at least that's going to continue to reduce the toxic load on your body In San Diego there's even like this organic burger

46:13 Now is that okay? I assumed that was off the table. Is there a way to use meat well? That's better than having non-organic. There are all these different steps in this evolution and I've been doing this for a long time, raw food, vegan, vegetarian, introduced some animal products at some times and the more I've learned I try to disassociate myself with labeling anything as right or wrong because that's taking us back into the dark ages of Christianity is good and Muslims are bad. You know what I mean? They're not, and neither is meat-eating or vegetarianism both have benefits, both have things that are potential detractions from those ways in either way you need to be tuned in. One of the most important things is to eat clean organic

47:04 food products that somehow support and interconnect us with our local food systems and environments based on that season, based on what's available. If you tell me what's better than organic burger with like yam fries or a conventional fast-food burger from one of the big chains with non-organic fries, then I'm going to tell you the organic for sure. So I just want every day to be making some sort of hey, I did a healthy thing today. I ate that organic or had a green juice and it's just about adding in and having fun with that not ever thinking shit this is going to monumental how am I ever going do this? At least have one good – even if you have your juice in the morning

47:53 God forbid, or Mohammed or Allah forbid whatever the term is that you go eat horribly for the rest of the day. That's still one step that's better than the day before and I really believe in that philosophy and I don't believe we should all try to convert everyone into 100% raw food vegan barefoot wearing a poncho overnight, you know and So I just I'm really I really want to just respect that process in people and and in yourself as well Greg for sure How would you coach someone who prefers meat? I mean how would you do that the right way like I mean outside of Making sure it's from a healthy source What particular meats are there ones that are better than others wants to avoid like if you can't cut out meet entirely or even I'm still probably gonna be 60% meat

48:45 So, within that framework how would you better someone? Are you laughing Kyle? I'm laughing a little bit. He doesn't like that! Well it's not necessarily the social context of what happens to the animals raised for meat...I mean that is part of it but also I am interested in casein and protein of meat and how it lingers in you and takes awhile to digest and kind of poisons you from inside. I'm also factoring that as well. And I totally agree with you that as well Kyle there are health and ethical concepts within the vegetarian or vegan based, or plant-based diet. Taking you Greg here now okay so do you want to eat 60% meat diet? That's it that's it. That's 40 percent better than what I'm doing right now. Okay let's take that for me the biggest thing i wanna communicate with you about this is that animal products or any products have a high fat content nuts and seeds included

49:47 Toxins are lipophilic, which means they're fat loving. So toxins accumulate in fats whether that's in the fat of a nut and seed or in the fat of animal products or in butter fat or milk fat or bacon fat So, toxins accumulate in fat. I think toxicity is one of the biggest things so we want to reduce toxic load as one of our huge primary goals of doing this because that's going to clear everything up and help you have more energy, more vitality, more strength. You can do double amount of podcasts in 1 day. If you can like reduce your toxic load

50:27 and increase your nutrients, that's a win. Basically we're high toxic low nutrients as most of us are so we want to reduce our toxins and increase our nutrients pretty simple if you want to go on the extreme end just have tons and tons of grain fruits vegetables go for it get on that but if you wanna start making that adjustment and 60% meat 40% fruits and vegetables which is a forty percent improvement thats awesome but on animal product side It needs to be clean and it needs to be organic. Really importantly as well, it needs to be grass-fed or pastured. A lot of the ways these animals are kept these days is indoors and they're fed a diet that was never designed to eat. I see one of the massive problems we've got is increased meat and dairy consumption in this country – yes!

51:12 But then as we've increased our meat and dairy consumption, we have increased disease. That's true you look at that chart and it makes sense one of the things that is not always considered with that chart is the fact that as we started introducing more meat and animal products which We changed what we fed those animals and we were feeding them GM corn, GM soy. These animals actually have within their bodies corn and soy which has a very different fatty acid ratio than the grass-fed naturally reared outdoor free ranging counterparts And what that means in simple terms is that the bad products with the corn and the soy are high in omega-9 and low in omega 3, which causes inflammation. Inflammation causes heart disease, diabetes all sorts of stuff depending on your genetic tendency as well

52:01 in a very small part. But the grass-fed counterparts are high in omega 3, or the little chickens that get to cruise around outside and eat like little bugs and little bits of herbs and stuff they have much higher omega 3 in their eggs and in their flesh than their indoor grain fed counterparts. And there also much lower in toxins so you get more nutrients better fatty acid ratios which is better for inflammation better for your health health, plus low toxins. You have to go organic on your animal products and it's going to cost you more so you're going to get even higher on your vegetables. That's a good thing as well. What do you think of that Greg? Does that make sense? Greg Fossum 100%. In San Diego I see that a lot. I definitely try to do that where I can. There are couple burger places ... their whole thing is they

52:54 Grass-fed and you know they taste the same to me, but I mean obviously there's it. They're better But to take this kind of angle slightly deeper there are some people who say that There's something too just the energy transfer between an animal that lived a healthy life or happy healthy life And one that lived a miserable prisoned Life in the dark. Do you think there's anything to that at all? I think there is and I think that Aetherically, there is from an energetics perspective. I mean when you see an animal that's been Slaughtered under an environment where it's not in a happy place There's a lot of fear and a lot of anxiety

53:37 It's not a nice thing to see. Depression and what happens is that if we were experiencing those sorts of emotions, we release the whole range of toxic chemicals and hormones into our bodies such as cortisol for instance which is also and adrenaline, and that changes the biochemical makeup of our body. So if you can imagine if we were on a deserted island and one of us had to kill each other and eat the other person to survive? We don't want this situation but imagine it right? Yeah, you might be worse off if you ate me!

54:12 Anyway, let's not go there. But say if as you were killing me like I was trying to get away and freaked out and so scared that I'm putting all these hormones and all this adrenaline, cortisol into my body then you kill me and eat Those hormones exist in the body. You do that to an animal, same thing. Now there's not really an ethical way that you can kill a human or an animal for that matter let's just understand that but there is an ethical ways if you can raise them and let them be outside into sun where they're designed to be like us humans barefoot on the ground so we can get some earthing from all our shooting EMF technology plus also eat grass have good time and I have a good biochemical makeup in their body and then killed in the most

54:59 ethical way possible. That's a completely different animal than the one that is killed under factory farm environment and there are hormonal tests and things that you can see the difference biochemically within those meats as well. I think that's definitely the case, and I hope that's just another reason for you to make that decision. Dylan Thompson Of course! One other thing I was curious about is salt because I hear salt is so ... like I've been getting my McDonald's fries unsalted lately trying to make small steps but I hear from some people salt is bad than other people like my girlfriend and we were at some Desert festival, and we stopped by this little booth where they had this read like someone who reads your energy And the girls like oh you need more salt in your diet You don't have enough. You know something about alkaline and whatever to me It's just kind of I feel like they're just

55:54 They're just rattling off something random. But they said, you don't have enough salt and I mean is salt bad? Is there a good way... Good salt and bad salt? I think Greg and Kyle probably agree on this as he's been journeying on this nutrition foray with me as well is that there's so much conflicting information in the nutrition space. One of the first things you have to ask yourself if you're asking if something is good or bad, did we used to eat it 100 years ago? Did we used to eat 500 years ago? And I think that with salt and pepper and spices, in that matter we have interacted with those products.

56:36 But you have to be careful about the type of salt. I believe that salt can be good in the body for certain instances where you need to detoxify and cleanse and decalcify certain organs in your body, whether you might have a chronic illness or are looking to detoxify then there are protocols such as the gosentherapy that promotes higher potassium lower sodium diet for cleansing but I think most of us on day-to-day basis the introduction of salt Be it in a really nice hand harvested Celtic sea salt, in a bit of water to remineralize and create some alkaline minerals in the bloodstream can be powerful. Using natural salts or Himalayan sea salt on foods to give it flavor I don't think is bad on a day-to-day basis so I think salt is good but its the right salt not this

57:29 10,000 degree Fahrenheit white treated bleached iodized table salt that stuff is nasty We didn't eat that a hundred years ago Right and before we wrap because we're kind of getting close to the end of the hour I wanted to talk a little bit about Mindset. I mean there's another documentary I saw recently called how to live forever and it basically examines the lifestyles of several people They're like over 95 And in the movie, most of them drink and smoke and have bad eating habits. But that's mainly shown for comedic value but the point of the movie is that a happy stress-free positive mindset is more powerful than anything including diet. Of course I'm getting into my escape hatch here... Is there something to be said about that?

58:14 There is a lot to be said about that and it's actually one of the most powerful things. I think what's interesting is that with most things in our life, whether its personal development technologies or this or that, it's like 80% psychology 20% mechanics and you know I honestly deeply believe in that my wife Laurentine her grandmother is 102 years old she still lives at home by herself in Holland And what's super cool is that she actually just had to go temporarily into this housing home for a few months because the cold water pipes freezed up at her house and the taps wouldn't deliver water anymore. So, like this woman is hardcore and amazing! And she's like you Greg, she doesn't drink much water but I'll tell you what she does do – she does meditate

59:07 and pray or give thanks, it has some form of gratefulness or gratitude for our health every day. These rituals are so powerful that you've got cultures that are existing in eating foods that we think about and living really long and some of the examples used in a film like Buster as well, the guy who was drinking beer and smoking cigarettes during marathon is going well. I believe in this 100% as well but I'll tell you what Greg, the hardest thing for people to change is mindset By far, our little brain in there and especially our animal brain, our limbic brain and our subconscious is so heavily conditioned especially the first six years of our life from our environment that it's really powerful to take over that. All of our habits how we treat people how we talk to ourselves how we treat ourselves

59:57 is so conditioned that it takes a lot of work to readjust that. It's a lot less work for you, Greg, to add a green juice in the morning and I tell you that if you start working on your psychology, you'll actually dig up some things that are probably not similar to Busta or probably not similar to my grandmother living in Holland. So, I really believe that mindset plays a massive part in it and I think we should use that in conjunction with. And this is going to sound crazy and I'm so glad it's at the end of the interview because this is good spot for it but In Hungry For Change our most recent film Dr. Christiane Northrup she's an awesome doctor OBGYN amazing what she does She believes one of the most important things we can do for our health is self love

1:00:48 I'm not talking about playing with yourself in the bathtub. I'm talking about looking at yourself in the mirror and saying, I love you! I appreciate you! I show gratefulness that I exist in this body right here right now on this planet and I am here to do good. I have some sort of reverence and appreciation for my temple." The mindset of having that is so powerful and there's so much proving that she was saying. There are so many studies coming out now where that alone can impact health so powerfully, but I think if we had started the conversation with this people would be really turned off because

1:01:30 pretty far on the hippie end of the spectrum, but I am a huge believer in mindset. But I think equally powerfully you can synergistically put the two together have to green juice and say love yourself in front of mirror Greg watch that happen right? And then I'll promote that well if yeah If you eat the healthy foods That will promote the changing the monumental task of changing your psychology if you do have a poor self-image or something similar. Exactly, and I think what's interesting is that we might not...we might think that we don't have a poor self image for this or that but we subconsciously limit ourselves in so much...so many ways every day and

1:02:10 Being aware of that and using that is a really powerful thing for longevity, for health. In Bruce Lipton's Biology of Belief how you think changes the biochemistry of your body which changes the biochemistry around your cells which changes the message to get sent to the center of your cell which turns on or off DNA and genetic markers in predispositions So, we can change my mom had cancer. My mom's mom had cancer and I'm going to get cancer." I can switch off that cancer gene by changing my thoughts. That exists! That is true. That is science. Rick Bristol lived on the biology of belief. He was a genius so our science now proves that mindset affects and can turn on or off genes in receptors in our body. That is amazing that we've come to this discovery now.

1:03:02 Equally so, eating certain types of foods can influence the biology around the cell which if you have a gene that is turned on to predispose you to cancer. You can switch that off by manipulating the environment around the gene through the foods you eat and thatís called epigenetics. So we can take Iím genetically predisposed Iím going to get this to changing that through diet and mindset. Thatís new medicine. If people donít want to get these diseases they can realize theyíre not a product of their environment, they can create their own environments through their food and through their thoughts. So that's incredibly powerful information. Right and I mean people at home you should make this change! I want to try to make this change! I get really down on myself for really letting myself get manipulated by these heartless corporations We should not be giving them our money And i hate the way they do business in fact I said to Kyle few months ago that the next evolution in corporate food would be

1:03:59 if you're a pepsi drinker they're gonna put some chemical additive in it that makes you physically ill when you have a coke from the competitor. I mean, that's kind of a joke but not really! No, you're right...I mean they are already using aspartame and that thing is known to cause crazy side effects within the body, formaldehyde buildup within the brain addiction especially when combined with caffeine and these are the so-called healthy versions of soda. The sugar free versions. And the high fructose corn syrup? That's on the sugared version so you're at a loss either way It's a lose-lose. You cannot drink soda, people! But James it has been a great time I've really enjoyed it Your movies are very motivating and I do think that anyone should see them especially if you are struggling with making a life change because its not a diet It is a really serious life change for the long haul but the earlier you start The better your going to feel the effects and the sooner they're gonna work And the longer your life will be happy

1:05:00 Are there any other little nuggets of wisdom or tips or tricks you would advise the audience on? Well, one thing I'd love to make people aware is that we are committed to just helping this information get out there. Every year we run free screening events where people can watch the film for free. We're doing one with our latest film Hungry For Change in March. We give away a lot of extended interview content and recipes so you can sign up for our newsletter at foodmatters.tv or hungryforchange.tv, either of the sites depending on what film you love more and we'll just help hold your hand through this landscape because there's a lot of disinformation out there and we want people to be free from that and really have control over their health. So great speaking with you guys today it was a really fun interview I enjoyed it a lot. Kyle is there anything you wanted to add before we let James go?

1:05:51 I just wanted to add that for me personally, it became a whole quest and it speaks to the idea of putting your mind into it and getting in the right mindset. Eating properly became a whole life quest and you get to chart your journey and make certain mile markers and people see your transformation. And I feel like I reached such a point in my quest and dedication to it that my parents understood This was legitimate and this wasn't a fad, and I wasn't just you know not eating meat to appease my girlfriend or something like that

1:06:27 And to see them now, my parents who I never thought could make this change have begun the big quest and they've gotten away from this what's good for you and what's bad for you. And gotten into the mindset that i'm gonna do this and imma stick to it each day is just one step but it builds towards something And it's really cool, it makes me feel like they're full of more vibrant energy which I felt like when I took my health more seriously as well. You just kind of become more potent with energy

1:07:05 I know that sounds new agey. Powerful! That's great, Kyle. I commend you and when I helped my dad at the start, I never thought he was going to change and now he is eating better than me and went through a four day chanting retreat last week And he was an accountant for like 30 years and ate meat and drank beer every night. Now, he's a vegetarian chanting hippie so watch out parents! It is a slippery slope guys. James it has been awesome you know thanks so much for being here thanks for educating me and the people and thanks for your documentaries great stuff thank you guys absolutely fabulous chatting today stay in touch alright enjoy your day Thanks bye

1:07:54 Damn, how'd you think that went? I mean you're already eating pretty healthy but did you get anything out of that? Yeah! I thought it was awesome. I just thought he's really cool relaxed guest. I thought he spoke some a lot of interesting truth about all kinds of nutrition It was great, i think one out every ten of these should be about food and health because as much as i hate it is-it's a large part of the big conspiracy we're getting attacked on all these fronts and if you think at corporations as like living entities they eat money and we gotta stop feeding them ya know? Yeah, and it's all trickery. When you go into a grocery store you're buying the box You're buying this cartoon drawing It has flashy colors and the lettering is really cool And they got some kind of image on there Or when you are buying this worst, we are talking about how these animals have these terrible existences All their pain and suffering seeps into their own

1:08:50 on body fat, which then they sell as their meat. But when it's packaged in the store it has this little clear plastic and then its got a little picture of a farm and you feel like hey Hillshire that's a farm somewhere you know this is pretty sweet. And uh... You are sold on the picture and your not really thinking about what's inside the box so I was a marketing major and i was drinking soda and eating meat, having terrible diet. And uh... just thought all that shit was sweet and then I decided to change it. Do you think you've had real effects?

1:09:28 I feel like, and here's the big thing and we didn't really get into this in this interview too much but it changed my role in society. You know now I'm a bit of a contrarian, I'm a vegetarian oh I can go to every restaurant its kind of pain in the ass sometimes but with that is a certain like role or responsibility, I feel different. Like not necessarily wiser like oh look at you idiots you're all gonna eat yourself to death but i feel like an elder in a certain way now I can be a proper mentor for others because I've implemented the proper changes in my own life that's good attitude

1:10:08 And so it's not, you know I'm helping a whole tribe here and not just myself. For those reasons i think its legitimate but definitely farming is fun like gardening is actually fun sometimes can be crazy when you plant the actual seed and watch it grow all the way I know farming can be fun, believe me. But people if you are knuckling down on your diet already and i know a lot of you aren't because people are complaining that don't sell 2x and 3x shirts at conspiracies You really should stop complaining to me get that body right And I should be getting two x's soon anyway but that's not the point Don't give money to companies who are laughing while they poison you Don't be weak bitch we can do this together starting today No more soda no more fries

1:10:51 Keep them if you want, but you're gonna get full of salad and not have room for this other stuff. I guess that's the approach James would make. But don't wait until you have diabetes and a clogged up heart. Have water! Just drink water man. You don't have to personally but i'm just saying it to the audience. Water... That's the thing to drink, man. I know it has fluoride in it, I know it has fucking leaked out psychotropic drugs that people flush down the toilet... It has everything terrible possible but like you're also a magician so do a little prayer and say oh I purify this water and then drink it. It's legit not kidding

1:11:27 Alright people, you get it. We shouldn't be preaching anyway although this is the Sabbath but thanks for listening Please rate review like retweet and share the show again It's the currency of the internet and I appreciate that currency it's the only way people find out about us And it's growing every day if you want to be that guy who says hey? I was listening to them when they were still on episode 44 Now's your chance to put that on the record. So I love you guys check out conspirates net for some amazing classy and fashionable conspiracy themed t-shirts Kyle by the way He runs the conspiracy Facebook page which is pretty much just funny and truthful memes and pictures always fun to have it in your news feed amongst the weather updates and the sports boners, but

1:12:10 I guess we'll see you next Sunday if all goes well with Jacques Fresco from the Venus Project. Take some advice from Scar and be prepared for that people! Again, thanks to James Colquhoun for dropping knowledge on us. I'm Greg Carlwood he's Kyle Prenneville and this is not The Greatest Show in the World... This is just a tribute. Debra's messing with your brain Even Scientologists know there is more to all of this Search the ruins for trap doors Wonder what you're put here for Simple as a hint of gas Climbing nostrils as you pass Making Harvard graduates feel childish when they laugh at it Climb the rungs to Kingdom Come Sour patch to Acid Tongue Are you opposed to having fun?
