What Is Wrong With Our Food

"You are what you eat" is a truism but it is not merely what you eat but HOW the food is produced- and that has radically changed in the last few decades.  To discuss this we have Julian Rose.

Julian Rose is one of the pioneers of UK organic farming, commencing the conversion of his farm in 1975. He joined the Soil Association board in 1984 and campaigned vigorously for the widespread introduction of organic farming methods at a time when this system was not known. Julian achieved notoriety when he brought a cow up to London (Hyde Park Festival of Food and Farming) and demonstrated vociferously against a government attempt to ban unpasteurized milk. He founded "The Association of Unpasteurized Milk Producers and Consumers" - and was successful in defeating government attempts to ban unpasteurized milk sales.

Julian went on to develop his farm as a mixed organic enterprise selling all its main produce locally, while refusing to sell to supermarkets. He developed a theory of local production and consumption which he named “The Proximity Principle”.
