Dear fellow concerned individuals,
I am writing this to give you an increasingly realistic picture of myself, my goals and dreams and how I feel the present and on-going Codex push can help us all achieve our goals.
It is my mission to make a cultural shift in our understanding of and focus on health and wellness as a core cultural component, over war, over politics to create a cultural pride in longevity, vitality and the human ability to perform and overcome.
Our collective definition of primary care has to include meal and movement planning with amble application of functional exercises and functional foods (to combat stress and strain and promote health). Our culture has to include access to good, clean, organic foods, spices, herbs and all the bounty mother nature naturally provides.
We need to take back control and ensure that our pervasive lack of education does not lead us to cede more of ourselves, mother nature and our human potential to a selfish greed and fear machine.
We are loosing this war of gradualism, aided by a (potentially) unwitting media. They flock to the next big story and fear-factor event and when a story about a European Court Ruling from 2005 that "Strictly prohibit(s) information about disease being treatable by nutrients and (includes a) call for future supplement dosage restrictions" happens with no major uproar, those in control know they can push the envelope a little further. Bills like C-51, 52 and recently C-6 in Canada are evidence of such potent gradualism.
What is needed is a top-down and bottom-up media message to make this gradual affront to our health and wellness big news again. Climate change and global warming has been sold to us as the focal point for our efforts to change as a global community but I put it to you that our efforts towards securing our healthful food goes beyond any control we might have over the weather. We need to rally our efforts and forces and look at the way our culture is valuing and choosing food, or how it is being valued and chosen for us.
I have a growing number of people interested in supporting our efforts to educate and disseminate information and I am excited to take the next step with you.
In health and happiness,
Scott Tate
