The Weston A Price foundation
Weston A Price was a dentist who started practicing dentistry in 1897. In the early 1900s he became very concerned to see his patient's children with more decay, and smaller jaws with crowded teeth, than their parents. He had heard stories about traditional cultures that were brimming with health, so he travelled to the far corners of the globe in the 1930s to try to discover what it was that kept them healthy.
He visited 14 of these untouched populations including the Maori of the North Island of New Zealand, many of whom still lived their traditional lifestyles. They had almost no tooth decay and almost no disease and they were known in America and Europe as the most outstanding physically perfect race of people in the world!
Weston Price took many photographs and recorded the foods of all 14 cultures he visited. He wrote a book to document his findings, called 'Nutrition and Physical Degeneration'. It is available to borrow from the Invercargill library and many others. It was used as a text in Harvard University Anthropology department for many years, but was slowly forgotten in our modern rush for 'progress' in the medical and nutrition realms.
The Weston A Price foundation was formed in 1999 as a charitable non-profit organisation whose aim is to teach people what becoming healthy by eating healthy food really means. They promote universal access to clean, organic nutrient rich food; sustainable, non-toxic farming; elimination of highly refined flours, oils and sugars from our diets and restoring healthy, vitamin rich traditional fats like butter back to the diet.
They have two specific goals
· To restore access access to fresh milk straight from the farm in its natural state
· To ban the use of soy infant formula

Sally Fallon-Morrel's May visit to Invercargill
NEWSFLASH 6th May 2007
This message is an extremely important one for the health of a nation. Our nutritionists are wrong.
Here is a summary of an amazing 'Traditional Food for Good Health' seminar held in Invercargill on Saturday May 5 by Sally Fallon-Morell, Washington DC based nutrition researcher, chef, journalist and homemaker. Attended by 240 people.
The information has come from sound scientific research and can be confirmed by going to www.westonaprice.org.
Let Them Eat Fat
by Sherry Elton
If we want to save our children and have healthy grandchildren, we must feed them animal fats. That was the take-home message that was meted out at a seminar given by Sally Fallon-Morell in Invercargill on Saturday.
There was an amazing turnout of 240 people to listen to her message. Everyone present was astounded by the depth of Sally's knowledge about traditional nutrition and also by the amount of misinformation they have been 'fed' by so-called nutritional experts.
The majority of our nutritionists and doctor's advice is absolutely wrong.
Sally is the founding president of the non-profit, charitable Weston A Price Foundation. The foundation was formed in 1999 to spread the truth discovered by 'The Charles Darwin of Nutrition', Dr Weston Price.
Dr Price, a dentist by profession, travelled the world in the 1930s studying populations of people who had total freedom from tooth decay, tuberculosis and other killer diseases of that time.
He found 14 of these populations that were still living the traditional lifestyle of their ancestors, including the Maori of our own North Island.
Dr Price found that all people had 32 strong, healthy, straight teeth that fitted perfectly into their jaws, wide strong bone structure, happy, healthy children and painless childbirth.
During yesterday's 4-hour seminar Sally talked about the 11 essential rules of good nutrition that have been formulated as a result of Dr Price's research that enable people to breed healthy, happy, intelligent children generation after generation.
Animal studies have shown that if we continue on the path we are now following in our 'newfangled' western food culture, our grandchildren will become infertile and the human race will self destruct.
The animal sudies first produced offspring with narrow faces, crowded and crooked teeth and weak bone structure and also became irritable and depressed. After 3 generations they failed to breed or died before they reached breeding age.
Mankind is are into the third and fourth generations of poor nutrition now and already 25% of American couples are infertile. How many couples do you know who are having trouble conceiving?
The most important message taught by Sally is that to save our children, we have to feed ourselves with nutrient dense foods. This is especially important for couples who want to become pregnant, and for pregnant and lactating mothers and their children - they all need animal fats desperately.
These are the very foods that have been demonised by our 'diet dictocrats'. If we do not nourish ourselves this way our babies will never reach their full potential and will have compromised brain, hormonal and skeletal development, amongst many other problems. These unborn children especially need large amounts of fat-soluble vitamins A, D and a newly researched vitamin K2.
Breast milk is over 50% fat and very rich in cholesterol because it is so important to the growing child. And it's not there by mistake! Sally also reminded us that in 1943 our own Plunket book advised mothers to give their babies cod-liver oil from 3 weeks of age. Cod-liver oil is extremely rich in those fat-soluble vitamins A and D. So it seems that our ancestors taught their daughters and they taught their daughters and they taught their daughters, ad infinitum.
When did we lose this treasured traditional secret?
Now the 'establishment' tells us to feed our precious infants and children skim milk - homogenised, pasteurised, destroyed and dead calci-trim milk or even worse, soy milk! And so we further destroy their potential to fully develop neural connections and hormones.
Many older farmers remember that skim milk was fed to pigs to make them fat! The cream was kept to eat because of the richness and importance of the activators (vitamins) it contained - we cannot absorb calcium without them.
Charles Darwin's Law of Natural Selection always has been and always will be true. Those populations whose young do not reach maturity or who are infertile, will not survive.
Finally, once more, survival of the fittest will dictate the future of a species.
