AS WE EAT THIS FOOD, ALL T NUTRIENTS IN THE FOOD, ANTIOXIDANTS AND PHYTOCHEM AND MINERALS AND VITAMINS FIBERS THAT GO INTO US, TH PLAY OUR BODY LIKE A SYMPH IT GOES INSIDE AND NUTRIEN ARE WORKING WITH OUR CHEMI TO ENHANCE AND OPTIMIZE TH FUNCTION OF HER BODY.

-- OUR BODY.

>> WE SPENT THE DAY AT THE RODALE INSTITUTE IN PENNSYLVANIA 70 MILES NORT OF PHILADELPHIA TO HEAR AB THE SIDE-BY-SIDE ORGANIC A CONVENTIONAL AGRICULTURAL STUDIES.

WHEN SOIL IS DEPL IT HAS FEWER NUTRIENTS, WH MEANS THE FRUITS AND VEGET PRODUCED FROM ITS LACK THE VITAL MINERALS AND NUTRIEN RODALE SCIENTISTS SAY SOIL THE BASIS OF LIFE BECAUSE OF OUR FOOD COMES FROM THE.

>> LET ME TELL YOU A LITTL ABOUT THE RODALE INSTITUTE HOW IT ALL GOT STARTED.

IT STARTED BACK IN 1942 WH GENTLEMAN PUT SOME WORDS O BLACKBOARD.

HE SAID HEALTHY SOIL EQUAL HEALTHY FOOD EQUALS HEALTH PEOPLE.

WHAT HE WAS REALLY DOING W PUTTING US ON A PATH TO CH THE WAY WE THINK ABOUT THE THAT WE EAT.

RODALE TOOK IT UPON HIMSEL DEVELOP THE SIGNS THAT WAS NECESSARY FOR THE UNITED S GOVERNMENT TO ADOPT THE WO ORGANIC THAT ENABLES ALL O AS CONSUMERS TO TRUST THAT SO WE KNOW WE PURCHASE AN ORGANIC PRODUCT IT TRULY I ORGANIC.

>> IT'S A CRAZY JUMPED YOU THINK IF I HAD HEALTHY SOI WILL HAVE IMPROVED CROPS.

PEOPLE IN THE MEDICAL PROFESSION, DOCTORS, NUTRITIONISTS, NURSES, THE CERTAINLY WOULD SAY IF YOU A BETTER DIET OR IF YOU HA HEALTHIER FOOD, YOU ARE GO TO BE HEALTHIER.

BUT IF YOU ASK PEOPLE TO M THIS LINK BETWEEN SOIL HEA AND HOW WE TAKE CARE OF THL AS FARMERS AND HUMAN HEALT THAT'S LINK SEEMS TO BE SO AWAY FROM EACH OTHER.

WE ARE TRYING TO BRING THO THINGS TOGETHER AND TO MAK LINK.

BECAUSE WE THINK HOW YOU T THE SOIL IS ACTUALLY HOW W TREAT OURSELVES AND HOW WE TREAT OTHER PEOPLE.

>> JOINING US TO SHARE THE AS MEDICINE STORY IS THE G- GRANDDAUGHTER OF THE FOUND AND A MAN THAT WAS DENIED INSURANCE WITH DIABETES, ELEVATED CHOLESTEROL, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, AND SLEEP APNEA.

ANTHONY WANTS TO START WIT YOU, TELL ME ABOUT YOUR JO INTO A PLANT-BASED DIET.

WHY DID IT START?

>> ABOUT 13 YEARS AGO, WHE WIFE WAS PREGNANT WITH OUR SECOND SON, I WAS DENIED A YEAR TERM LIFE INSURANCE POLICY.

I TOOK IT REALLY HARD.

IT WAS A HUGE WAKE UP CALL ME.

IT REALLY FORCED ME TO TAK DEEP LOOK AT MY LIFE AND R WHAT I WAS DOING.

I WAS 33 YEARS OLD, I WEIG 360 POUNDS, I HAD A 54 INC WAIST, I WAS ON MEDICATION HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, I HAD SLEEP APNEA THAT I WAS NOT DOING WHAT MY DOCTOR WAS S TO DO ABOUT IT.

SO I HAD ALL THESE RED FLA AND HEARING THAT'S AND TAK THAT AS A DEATH SENTENCE A AM BRINGING CHILDREN INTO WORLD AND THINKING WILL I AROUND FOR THESE KIDS TO GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL?

AM I GOING TO GET TO SEE T GROW?

EVEN THE TIME THAT I AM WI THEM, WHAT KIND OF FATHER GOING TO BE?

IT REALLY FORCED ME TO TAK CLOSE LOOK AT MY LIFE.

I WAS NOT HAPPY WITH WHAT SAW.

I WAS NOT TRYING TO TRIM D TO LOOK BETTER OR THINGS L THAT.

I WANTED TO BE HEALTHY.

I WANT TO BE AROUND FOR MY CHILDREN.

I'M STARTING A FAMILY, THI NEW BEGINNINGS.

ALREADY I FELT LIKE I WAS SHOWN THAT THE END IS COMI IN 20 MONTHS, I LOST 160 POUNDS.

I GOT OFF ALL OF MY MEDICATIONS, SKIN ISSUES I BEEN DEALING WITH SINCE I IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL JUST DISAPPEARED.

I SLEEP WELL AT NIGHT, MY IS BETTER NOW THAN IT HAS BEEN.

AND IT IS ALL DUE TO EATIN VERY HEALTHY PLANT-BASED W FOODS DIET.

>> YOU MENTIONED SKIN ISSU THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS YOU SAID HELPED WHEN YOU M THE SHIFT.

YOU SAID YOU ARE AN ACTRES ELABORATE ON THAT.

I YOUR SKIN CHANGE.

AND YOUR HAIR.

>> SO, I WAS STRUGGLING WI SKIN ISSUES AND SEEING A DERMATOLOGIST.

AND HE PUT ME ON ANTIBIOTI FOR SIX MONTHS TO A YEAR A PREDNISONE AS WELL.

AND MY HAIR WAS FALLING OU I WAS NOT BALDING BUT IT W FITTING AND COMING OUT IN CLUMPS IN THE SHOWER.

-- SITTING AND COMING OUT CLUMPS A SHARP.

SHEDDING I UNDERSTAND WITH HAIR BUT THIS WAS AN ISSUE AND MY SKIN, IT WAS PROBAB MAKING IT WORSE, BECAUSE T DESCRIBE THE GOOD GOT BACT WE NEED TO THRIVE.

I WAS REALLY HUNGRY FOR TH TRUTH.

AND FOR KNOWLEDGE ON HOW T HEAL MY BODY BECAUSE PRESCRIPTION DRUGS WERE NO DOING IT.

AND I ADOPTED A WHOLE FOOD PLANT-BASED DIETS, MOSTLY I DO NOT EAT ANY REFINED S OR REFINED OIL.

WITHIN MONTHS I SAW MY SKI CLEAR UP THAT IT CHANGE MY.

>> LET'S GET INTO THE KITC AND SEE HOW YOU CAN DO THI HOME WITH CHEF ERIC, THE COFOUNDER OF TENDER GREENS WHOSE 30 RESTAURANTS IN CALIFORNIA, NEW YORK CITY, BOSTON SERVES UP LOCALLY SOURCED QUALITY INGREDIENT WITH THE FARM-TO-FORK PHILY .

TELL US PLEASE, WELCOME OF ALL, TELL US WHAT YOU W BE DISHING UP.

>> WE WILL DO WHAT I CALL HARVEST SALAD.

WHATEVER GREENS YOU CAN FI THE MARKETS.

WHATEVER FRUIT IS IN SEASO NOT THAT YOU LOVE AND IN O CASE WE WILL USE AVOCADOS INSTEAD OF CHEESE WITH A N CIDER VINAIGRETTE.

>> IS THAT SOMETHING THAT PREPARED IN THE RESTAURANT >> WE DO IT WITH ALL THE T GREENS, IT FALLS IN SEASON WHATEVER CITY WE ARE IN, WHATEVER IS HAPPENING IN T FIELDS, WE BRING THAT TO T SALAD.

>> FRESH SEASONAL FRUITS A VEGETABLES.

SPECS ABOUT THINGS IN A SA A GOOD >> THERE ARE THINGS YOU NE A SALAD, A GOOD BED OF GRE NICE PURPLE LETTUCES CAN B MIXED IN WITH YOUR GREENS.

>> YOU ARE ALWAYS TALKING THE POWER OF PURPLE, WE WI GET TO THAT IN A MINUTE, N GREENS.

>> A BED OF BEAUTIFUL GREE I LOVE TO ADD ANY SEASONAL VEGETABLE.

IF IT IS CARROTS,, LIKE NO HAVE BEAUTIFUL PEPPERS COM UP, EGGPLANT, WE WILL PUT SQUASH.

I LOVE TO AT SPROUTS AS WE WE HAVE BEAUTIFUL SPROUTS.

>> THE TEXTURE IS IMPORTAN ME.

>> YES.

AND ITS TEXTURE AND CRUNCH THERE IS A LOT OF NUTRIENT VALUE IN SPROUTS THEY FIND SPROUTS ARE SOMETIMES MORE NUTRITIOUS THAN THE MATURE PLANT ITSELF.

FOR EXAMPLE, BROCCOLI SPRO HAVE MORE NUTRITION OUNCE OUNCE THAN A PIECE OF BROC IT IS A GREAT WAY TO ADD NUTRITION AND ADD FLAVOR A ADD CRUNCH TO YOUR SALAD.

>> AWESOME.

>> A WAY TO MAKE IT SIMPLE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE WE JUST CUT UP A BUNCH OF VEGETABLES, PUT THEM IN ST CONTAINERS IN THE REFRIGER AND YOU CAN PULL FROM THOS DURING THE WEEK AND MAKE A BEAUTIFUL QUICK SALAD ANYT THE FOOD WE CHOOSE TO PUT THE PLATE ARE VERY POWERFU WHAT WE'RE LEARNING TODAY OUR MODERN ERA OF SCIENCE THAT THE FOODS WE CHOOSE H PROFOUND EFFECTS ON THE BIOCHEMISTRY OF OUR BODY.

WHEN WE ARE CHOOSING TO EA BEAUTIFUL GREEN SALAD WE M HAVE KALE AND COLLARD AND CHOY IN THERE, WE THE FOOD IT GOES IN HER BODY AND WI JUST A FEW HOURS, IT HAS PERMEATED TO OURSELVES AND THE WAY DOWN TO HER DNA.

THIS FOOD WE ARE EATING IS REDUCING INFLAMMATION AND TURNING GENES ON AND OFF, ENHANCING OUR HEALTH WHEN ARE EATING HEALTHY FOODS.

>> WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO SOMEONE WHO LOOKS AS LETTU AND SAYS THAT IS JUST LETT BECAUSE THERE ARE PEOPLE T THINK I WOULD RATHER HAVE MEETS OR SOME CARBS.

I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE DO LIKE VEGETABLES.

YOU SAID IT IS ALL ABOUT TEXTURE AND TASTE AND PEOP EAT WITH THEIR EYES FIRST, ELABORATE ON THE.

>> I THINK WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO EAT THE RAI -- ELABORATE ON THAT'S.

>> I THINK WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO EAT THE RAI SO MANY OF US HAVE A BAD HISTORY WITH VEGETABLES BE THEY WERE COOKED OR PROCES OR WHATEVER.

WHEN WE BUY FRESH GREAT VEGETABLES IN SEASON FROM SOMEONE WE KNOW AND PREPAR THEM WITH CARE, IT CAN BE INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE IN T OF FOOD AND OUR RELATIONSH WITH FOOD.

IT IS NOT ONLY ABOUT HEALT DIETS, BUT THE ROMANCE WE WITH FOOD AND THE SEASONS THAT'S BRING US ALL OF THE DIFFERENT VARIETIES.

>> I AM LOOKING AT THIS VEGETABLE, IS IT CABBAGE?

>> THIS IS RADICCHIO, SLIG BITTER, REALLY CRUNCHY.

AND PAIRED WITH FRUIT IN T CASE.

WE ARE JUST GETTING INTO AUTUMN.

ALL OF THE DIFFERENT VARIE OF APPLES THAT ARE ON THE RIGHT NOW, AND SOME OF OUR OTHER FARMERS, PEARS, INST OF ADDING CHEESE, WE ARE G TO DO AVOCADO, A LITTLE BI CIDER VINEGAR AND AVOCADO AND A LITTLE PEPPER CRESTS SOME FREEZING, AND BUTTER LETTUCE.

-- SOME PEPPER CRESS, SOME FRISEE, AND BUTTER LETTUCE >> I HAVE SEEN THAT IN THE MARKET.

>> HERE IT IS IN THE SALAD TODAY.

RADICCHIO IS SLIGHTLY BETT BUT GOES WITH THE FRUIT.

THAN THE PEPPER CRESS WHIC GROWN KIND OF HYDROPONICAL IT IS SPICY.

THAT WE HAVE BUTTER LETTUC BURIED UNDER YOUR.

IT IS LIKE A BOSTON LETTUC THIS IS A REALLY SOFT AND DELICATE LETTUCE ON ITS OW A BIT ONE-DIMENSIONAL.

WHEN PAIRED WITH SEASONAL LETTUCE, YOU GET A REAL COMPLEXITY IN TEXTURE AND AND FLAVOR AND MARRIED WIT FRUIT AND THE RICHNESS OF AVOCADO, IT IS NOT JUST A SALAD.

IT HAS AN AMAZING COMPLEXI FLAVORS, TEXTURES, SUBTLE NATURAL SWEETNESS.

>> TEXTURE IS IMPORTANT.

AND COLOR TOO.

I THINK IF IT LOOKS GOOD, APPEALING BEFORE YOU EVEN TASTED.

IT JUST MAKES YOU WANT TO IN.

>> WHAT IS GREAT ABOUT THI SALAD IS YOU ARE NOT RESTR TO THESE LETTUCES EITHER.

IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THE BITTERNESS OF THE FRISEE O RADICCHIO YOU CAN USE A BA MIX THAT WORKS JUST AS MEL JUST AS WELL.

WHATEVER IS TRULY IN SEASO LOCALLY OR WHAT IS AVAILAB LOCALLY IS WHAT YOU CAN US THE SALAD THROUGHOUT THE Y IT CAN BE YOUR GO TO SALAD WITH VARIATION THROUGH THE SEASONS.

>> YOU MENTIONED A MIXED B THINK ABOUT BAGS OF LETTUC I HAVE A FRIEND WHO WILL BUYBACKS LETTUCE AND SHE G TO THE GROCERY STORE AND S WAS FORGOT TO GET A BAG OF LETTUCE SO I CAN THROW IT WEEK LATER.

>> A LOT OF PEOPLE DO THAT >> IT IS AMAZING, SO MANY OUR VEGETABLE CRISPERS ACR AMERICA ARE REALLY COMPOST >> PEOPLE ARE NOT USING IT PROPERLY.

>> THEY ARE BUYING STUFF A FORGETTING ABOUT IT AND IT IN VARIOUS STAGES OF DECOMPOSITION.

THESE ARE ALSO GREAT WAYS TO YOUR OWN REFRIGERATOR A SAY WHAT DO I HAVE?

I HAVE APPLES, I FORGOT AB THEM.

>> I THINK WE JUST DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE POWER OF TH FOODS.

AND WHAT IS WOVEN INTO THE AND HOW IT WORKS INSIDE OF BODY.

AND WHEN WE CAN BEGIN TO U THE POWER OF THE FOOD AND NUTRIENTS AND UNDERSTAND W IT ACTUALLY IS DOING WHEN ARE EATING IT IN NOT ONLY IT IS DOING BUT HOW IT MAK FEEL, THEN IT ENHANCES THE CHOICES THAT WE MAKE WHAT ARE DECIDING WHAT TO EAT.

WHEN WE EAT THESE FOODS, N ONLY ARE WE PREVENTING DIS LIKE HEART DISEASE DIABETE CANCER, BUT EVERY SINGLE D WILL FEEL BETTER.

WE WILL BE SICK LESS OFTEN WILL HAVE LESS INFLAMMATIO OUR BRAIN, GREATER CLARITY THINKING, OUR MOODS WILL B MORE STABLE, RELATIONSHIPS PEOPLE ARE BETTER, EVERYTH IS ENHANCED BY THE DECISIO THAT WE MAKE ON WHAT TO PU OUR PLATE EVERY DAY.

>> HEART DISEASE IS SO PREVALENT.

IT IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH IN THE UNITED STATES ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL PREVENTION.

THE CDC IS ALSO REPORTING DIABETES IS AT EPIDEMIC LE AND THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE HEALTH STATISTIC ESTIMATES AT 7 MILLION -- 1.7 MILLIO CASES OF CANCER WILL BE DIAGNOSED BY 2019.

>> VERY IMPORTANT, THE NUM ONE KILLER IN AMERICA TODA NOT ONLY IN AMERICA, WE HA EPIDEMIC LEVELS OF HEART DISEASE ALL OVER THE WORLD TODAY BECAUSE OF THE CHOIC FOOD THAT PEOPLE ARE EATIN A DAILY BASIS.

>> EXPIRED WHAT HEART DISE JUST IN CASE PEOPLE ARE NO AWARE.

>> WE HAVE THIS BEAUTIFUL MUSCLE THAT PUMPS BLOOD THROUGHOUT OUR ENTIRE BODY AND YOUR HEART PUMPS 42 MI TIMES IN A YEAR AND 3 MILL TIMES IN A LIFETIME.

SO ALL OF THOSE LITTLE MUS CELLS THAT ARE ACTIVELY CONTRACTING MINUTE BY MINU NEED A REGULAR SUPPLY OF O AND NUTRIENTS.

ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE HEAR MUSCLE, WE HAVE SMALL ARTE THAT CARRY THE BLOOD SUPPL THE HEART MUSCLE.

NOW, WHEN WE MAKE UNHEALTH CHOICES, WE GET AN INJURY INSIDE OF THOSE BLOOD VESS THE ENDOTHELIAL CELLS.

WHEN THEY BECOME INJURED T BECOME INFLAMED AND OUR BO SENDS CHOLESTEROL TO THE A TO REPAIR THE DAMAGED CELL THE CHOLESTEROL ACTUALLY BECOMES OXIDIZED AND BECOM STICKY AND WE START TO ACU PLAQUE INSIDE OF THE ARTER LITTLE BY LITTLE THE PLAQU BECOMES MORE AND MORE AND NARROW OVER TIME.

JUST LIKE A PLUMBING PIPE GETS CLOGGED UP OVER TIME.

THEN WHAT HAPPENS IS YOU H LITTLE BIT OF A BLOOD CLOT SEALS OFF THE ARTERY.

AND NO BLOOD FLOWS TO THE HEART.

AND THE HEART BEGINS TO ST IT IS STARVING FOR OXYGEN THAT IS WHY THE MUSCLE HUR THAT IS THE CHEST PAIN OF HEART ATTACK.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED, THE HEA ATTACK IS JUST THE CULMINA OF BITE BY BITE, THE UNHEA WESTERN DIETS, THE GOOD NE BY SWITCHING OUR DIETS, TH RESEARCH HAS SHOWN WHEN WE NOT IN A CRITICAL PLACE WI HEART ATTACK, WE CAN ACTUA REVERSE THE COMMISSION OF PLAQUES AND AVOID THE CONSEQUENCES OF THOSE PAST DECISIONS.

>> TELL ME SOME OF THE THI THAT WILL REVERSE AND PREV HEART DISEASE.

>> THE RESEARCH HAS SHOWN PEOPLE TRANSITION TO A WHO FOOD PLANT-BASED DIET, THA MEANS EATING YOU KNOW, THI LIKE PURPLE POTATOES AND T BEAUTIFUL GREENS AND EATIN DIET CONSISTING OF ALL PLA FOODS, THEY CAN REVERSE HE DISEASE.

DOCTORS HAVE PROVEN THAT A WELL DONE SCIENTIFIC STUDI GREELEY THE VEGETABLES ARE FILLED WITH PHYTOCHEMICALS ACTUALLY REDUCE INFLAMMATI AND THEY MAKE THE INSIDE O THOSE LITTLE ARTERIES SLIP SO THINGS CANNOT STICK TO INSIDE.

SO IT HAS A PROTECTIVE EFF IT IS THE GREATEST MESSAGE HOPE THAT WHEN WE SIMPLY C OUR DIETS, ADDING THINGS L TURMERIC AND BEAUTIFUL SAL LIKE ERIC IS CREATING AND FRESH BERRIES THAT ARE ANT- INFLAMMATORY.

WE ARE NOT SACRIFICING TASR DIET.

WE ARE GAINING AN ABUNDANC TASTE AND ENJOY OUR FOOD M FOR RICK HE STARTED EATING THESE DELICIOUS FOODS, ADD BERRIES AND BEAUTIFUL SALA AND MAKING DELICIOUS COOKI WHILE HE ATE DELICIOUS FOO HIS BODY GOT HEALTHY AND H PAIN WENT AWAY.

IN MY 20s AND AS I GOT OLD AND THE WORLD CHANGED AND WORLD CAUGHT UP, I WOULD H PEOPLE TELL ME WHAT ORGANI FARMING WAS AND TELL ME HO NEEDED TO EAT THIS OR NOT OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFEC AT FIRST I WAS LIKE I KNOW IT'S JUST SO WONDERFUL THA THIS ISN'T TOTALLY STRANGE ANYMORE.

THAT IF YOU DO COME ACROSSS , THE WORLD HAS CHANGED AN CAN FIND PEOPLE WHO WILL S IN THIS JOURNEY WITH YOU.

AND THAT YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET HEALTHY ORGANIC PRODUCE.

NOT EVERY DOES BUT IT IS SO MUCH MOR PREVALENT THAN EVER BEFORE >> IT IS INDEED.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>>> ALL OF THE VITAMINS AN MINERALS WE GET FROM THE F COME FROM THE SOIL.

PLANS DO NOT MAKE MINERALS THEY TAKE IT OUT OF THE SO PUT IT IN A FORM WE CAN CO AND IT MAKES US HEALTHY.

LIKEWISE, IF THERE IS CONTAMINATION OF THE FOOD, ALSO COMES INTO HER BODY.

ONE THING TO REMEMBER OR UNDERSTAND IS THE SOIL IS .

IF YOU TOOK ONE TEASPOON OL , THERE IS ACTUALLY MORE L ORGANISMS AND THAT TEASPOO HEALTHY SOIL THEN PEOPLE O PLANET.

WE NEED TO FEED THE LIFE I SOIL, TO EXERCISE IT, REST GIVE IT WATER, ALL OF THE THINGS THE HUMAN BODY NEED HEALTH, SO DO ALL OF THE LIFEFORMS IN THE SOIL.

BY THINKING ABOUT THE WAY PRODUCE FOOD, WE CAN ACTUA MAKE PEOPLE HEALTHIER.

THAT IS THE RODALE STORY A ALL STARTS WITH THE SOIL.

>> THE YIELD BETWEEN ORGAN AND CONVENTIONAL HAVE BEEN STATISTICAL TIE, THERE HAV BEEN NO STUDIES TO SEE A DIFFERENCE IN THE YIELD OF BETWEEN ORGANIC AND CONVENTIONAL.

WHAT HAS ACTUALLY HAPPENED WHEN THERE IS DROUGHT STRE WATER STRESS THE ORGANIC SYSTEMS HAVE PRODUCED UP T MORE YIELD THAN THE CONVENTIONAL SYSTEMS.

WITH THAT IN MIND THERE'S REASON WHY ORGANIC CANNOT AROUND.

WE ARE GETTING THE SAME AM OF USE DURING NORMAL YEARS THE ORGANIC IS ESSENTIALLY PRODUCING MORE IN THE YEAR WHEN PRECIPITATION IS LOWE >> ANTIOXIDANTS, THINGS AR JUST STARTING TO UNDERSTAN BENEFITS OF OUR HIGHER IN ORGANICALLY PRODUCED CROPS CONVENTIONALLY PRODUCED CR A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY ORGANI TOO EXPENSIVE AND I CANNOT AFFORD.

AND THEY DRIVE UP IN THE C PULL UP YOUR CELL PHONES, HAVE A LOT OF ACCESSORIES WERE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OBVIOUSLY INVESTED IN AND THOUGHT THAT WAS IMPORTANT BUT THEY DO NOT THINK IT W IMPORTANT TO INVEST IN THE HEALTH.

PEOPLE THAT DO CHOOSE ORGA VEGETABLES FOR -- OR ANY ORGANIC FOOD IN GENERAL DO BECAUSE THEY EXPECT IMPROV NUTRITIONAL QUALITY.

IT IS HEALTHIER TO THEM.

MAYBE IT IS BECAUSE SOME P DO NOT EQUATE WITH THEIR E AND PUTTING INTO THEIR BOD IS REALLY CHANGING THEIR HEALTH.

BUT THE NUMBER ONE REASON CONSUMERS CHOOSE ORGANIC PRODUCTS IS BECAUSE OF THE HEALTH IMPACT ON THEMSELVE >> THIS IS A SOIL FROM A FARMING SYSTEM TRIAL.

I WILL SHOW YOU A SIMULATI WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO YOUR IN THE CASE OF A HEAVY RAI EVENT.

WE WILL START WITH THE TAI CONVENTIONAL SYSTEM.

-- TILL YOU CAN SEE IT IS LACKING COLOR, THAT IS AN INDICATION OF A LACK OF OR MATTER.

WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

YOU CAN SEE MOST IMMEDIATE STARTS TO CRUMBLE AND AS I PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT OF MOVEMENT THAT SIMULATE WHA WOULD HAPPEN IF RAIN WAS G THROUGH THE SOIL.

YOU CAN SEE HERE WE ARE CRUMBLING AND CRACKING AND WATER IS STARTING TO GET C. THE WATER IS NOT GOING TO ABLE TO GET THROUGH TO THE LAYER OF THE CROPS, IT WIL WASH OFF THE SURFACE AND T THE SOIL.

IF YOU DRIVE BY A PHARMACY POOLING IN THE FIELDS, THA A GOOD INDICATION THEY'RE SOME OF THESE PRACTICES.

NEXT IS WHAT WE CALL THE M GROUND, THIS IS THE ROTATI KNOW TILL IN A CONVENTIONA SYSTEM, NOT CERTIFIED ORGA YOU CAN SEE A BIT OF A LA COLOR, ABOUT THE SAME SIZE THE LAST ONE, SO YOU WILL WHAT HAPPENS HERE.

THERE WAS A BIT OF INITIAL CRUMBLING.

SO YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A REDUCTION IN RUNOFF AND SO EROSION.

SO THIS IS THE ORGANIC SYS NO CHEMICAL APPLICATION, CERTIFIED ORGANIC SEED, IT USES THE LAGOON SYSTEM -- LEAGUE ROOMS -- LEGUME SYS WHICH HOLDS THE SOIL TOGET NATURALLY.

SO LET'S TRY IT.

SEE YOU CAN SEE THE WATER BUBBLING, SEE YOU KNOW IT GET DOWN TO THE ROOT ZONE OF THE CROPS.

AND ALLOW THEM TO HOLD ONT WATER FOR THE WATER TO BE AVAILABLE IN TIMES OF DRYN OR DROUGHT.

THIS IS JUST A SIMPLE DEMONSTRATION THAT SHOW YO DIFFERENCES, LIKE NIGHT AN.

>> ALL OF US INVOLVED IN AGRICULTURE NO DECISIONS A MADE IN THE POLICY ARENA B ON SCIENCE.

SO THE RODALE INSTITUTE IS RESEARCH ORGANIZATION AND EDUCATIONAL ORGANIZATION T USES THE POWER OF SCIENCE MAKE CHANGE.

NOT ONLY CHANGE IN HOW WE PRODUCE FOOD THE CHANGES I POLICY OF SUPPORTING PRODU ON A NATIONAL AND GLOBAL L THE USDA NOW OWNS THE WORD ORGANIC AS IT PERTAINS TO AND FIBER PRODUCTION.

THAT BECAUSE OF THE SCIENCE THA RODALE INSTITUTE PERFORMED >> THE DECISIONS WE MAKE I THE FARMERS AND THE FARM FAMILIES.

AND THE CARE OF THE SOIL I SOIL WE ARE STEWARDING FOR INTO FUTURE GENERATIONS AN CHOICES WE MAKE ON OUR PLA ARE IMPACTING THE ENVIRONM THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE PL WE ARE ALSO GIVING TO THE CHILDREN AND GRANDSON.

A WHOLE FOOD PLANT-BASED D CANNOT ONLY PREVENT THESE IMMUNE DISEASES LIKE ARTHR IT CAN SUSPEND DISEASE AND MANY CASES REVERSE DISEASE PEOPLE CAN LEARN TO LIVE P- FREE LIVES ONCE AGAIN.

>> TELL YOUR PLANS TO SHIF GEARS WITH THE PROGRAM?

HOW WILL IT IMPACT YOUR DI >> WITH THE HEADSTART PROG WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHILDREN EAT HEALTHY.

WHAT WE HAVE DONE, THE FIR STEP WE TOOK IS WE TOOK TH CULINARY PROGRAM WHICH IS OF FOOD AS MEDICINE.

IT WAS CREATED BY DR.

SCOT STOLL .

THE FOOD SERVICE S AND I HAVE THE PROGRAM AND IN ORDER TO TEACH THE STAF IMPORTANCE OF NUTRITION A UPDATE THEM ON NEW CULINAR ARTS STYLES AND COOKING FO AND HOW TO COOK FOOD WITHO FAT AND OIL.

HOW TO LEARN ABOUT TEXTURE THE FOOD SERVICE STAFF BEG SEAFOOD DIFFERENT.

THEN WE INVITED DR.

SCOTT TO TALK TO THE TEACHING ST BECAUSE THE TEACHING STAFF COOKING EXPERIENCES WITH T CHILDREN.

SO NOW WE HAVE FULL CIRCLE FOOD SERVICE STAFF, THE TEACHING STAFF, UNDERSTAND HOW NUTRITION CAN FIGHT DISEASE, HOW IT CAN REVERS DISEASE, SO WE SEE FOOD IN DIFFERENT WAY, WE HAVE CHI EATING BLACK BEAN TACOS, H THEM ENJOYING TOFU LASAGNA AND THEY ALSO ENJOY HUMMUS WHICH MANY OF YOU ARE SURP THEY WOULD DO.

THEY ARE WINNING THE BATTL BITE BY BITE.

>> IN 1890 THE AVERAGE PER 85 POUNDS PER SUGAR PER YE TODAY IT'S MORE THAN 140 POUNDS.

FOUR POUNDS OF OIL, TODAY 74 POUNDS.

ZERO GALLONS OF SOFT DRINK GALLONS OF SOFT DRINK PER PERSON PER YEAR.

WE WENT FROM 131 POUNDS OF HOMEGROWN VEGETABLES TO 11 ADDED 600 CALORIES TO HER WE HAVE REALLY SHIFTED IN WRONG DIRECTION.

THIS HIGHLY PROCESSED REFI FOOD DIET WE ARE EATING IN WESTERN DIET TODAY CREATES INFLAMMATION BECAUSE IT CO WITH LITTLE THINGS CALLED RADICALS.

THESE ARE LIKE LITTLE TORN THAT WREAK HAVOC THROUGH OURSELVES CAUSING DAMAGE A INFLAMMATION WHEN WE EAT T REFINED FOODS.

BY SHIFTING TO A WHOLE FOO PLANT-BASED DIET IT MITIGA AND BASICALLY DECREASES AL THE LITTLE TORNADOES BECAU THESE CAN DONATE ELECTRONS BREAK UP THOSE TORNADOES A REDUCE INFLAMMATION THROUG THE BODY.

>> HOW LONG DID IT TAKE YO FEEL RELIEF WHEN YOU SWITC A PLANT-BASED DIET?

>> IT TOOK ME PROBABLY A C OF MONTHS.

DURING THOSE MONTHS, IT WA VERY INTERESTING BECAUSE W WAS GOING THROUGH THIS TRANSITION, I WAS GETTING R AND I HAD NOT BEEN ON ANY OF RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS MEDICATION FOR THE LAST TW YEARS.

>> WE ARE TALKING ABOUT TO IS NOT A RADICAL SCIENTIFI THEORY, IT IS THE WAY MOST PEOPLE A FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS, ORGANIC WAS THE NOR YOU KNOW?

FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS UNT JUST RECENTLY.

WHOLE FOOD PLANT-BASED DIE WERE THE NORM FOR MOST PEO AND GROUPS.

WE ARE JUST SHIFTING BACK E CULTURAL CONCEPTS THAT HAV CREATED SUSTAINABILITY AND HEALTH FOR POPULATIONS FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.

>> YOU JUST HEARD HOW TO PREVENT AND REVERSE RHEUMA ARTHRITIS AND DIABETES.

BUT THERE IS MORE STRAIGHTAHEAD.

>> WE ARE BACK WITH DOCTOR SCOTT STOWELL -- DR.

SCOTT STOLL .

HE SPECIALIZES IN MEDICINE AND NUTRITION.

HE IS A LONGTIME SUPPORTER PBS.

IN ADDITION TO THE FASCINATING INFORMATION YO PROVIDING IN THIS PROGRAM, OWN STORY IS PRETTY FASCIN TOO.

YOU ARE A FORMER OLYMPIC ATHLETE, TELL US ABOUT THE >> YES.

YOU KNOW, I GREW UP ACTUAL LOVING BOSLEDDING WHEN I W YOUNG BOY AND I PRACTICED SLEDDING AFTER WATCHING TH OLYMPIC.

I WAS ABOUT BEING IN THE OLYMPIC.

I RAN TRACK ALL THE WAY TH COLLEGE.

HAPPENS TO BE WATCHING THE OLYMPICS WITH A FRIEND OF IN MY BASEMENT IN FORT COL COLORADO.

I SAID TO MY FRIEND, I SAI KNOW WHAT?

I ALWAYS WANTED TO BOBSLED MY FRIEND DOUG WAS A CAN D PERSON.

HE PICKED UP THE PHONE ANDD HOW DO YOU TRY OUT FOR THE BOBSLED TEAM?

WE WERE INVITED FOR A SPRI AND JUMPING TRIAL.

SHORTLY THEREAFTER I WAS ID TO THE NATIONAL PUSH CHAMPIONSHIPS AND PUSHED F ENOUGH THAT I QUALIFIED FO SPOT ON THE WORLD CUP TEAM 1993.

OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS, I TRAINED HARD AND WENT THRO ALL THE TRIALS AND ENDED U MAKING THE 1994 OLYMPIC BO TEAM.

IT WAS REALLY AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE TO GO FROM THE BASEMENT IN 1992 TO WALKIN INTO THE OPENING CEREMONIE 1994.

>> FASCINATING.

TELL ME THIS, HOW DID YOUR EXPERIENCE AS AN ATHLETES YOU WANT TO PURSUE FOOD AS MEDICINE?

OR DID IT?

>> YES.

IT IS INTERESTING.

ONE OF THE THINGS ATHLETES FOCUS ON IS IMPROVING THEI PERFORMANCE.

SO OFTEN I REALIZE PEOPLE LOOKING TO SUPPLEMENT AND ENHANCE THEIR PERFORMANCE.

SESAME OF MY TEAMMATES AND OTHER ATHLETES TAKING TONS DIFFERENT SUPPLEMENTS.

SOMETIMES HUNDREDS OF SUPPLEMENTS, SPENDING LOTS MONEY ON THEIR SUPPLEMENTS EVERY MONTH.

BUT NOT REALLY ENHANCING T PERFORMANCE.

AND AS AN OLYMPIC ATHLETE ESPECIALLY AS A TEAM PHYSI WORKING WITH ATHLETES AT T UNIVERSITY AND WITH THE OL BOBSLED TEAM, I BEGAN TO RE THAT FOOD WAS THE GREATEST INFLUENCE ON THE PERFORMAN AND IT WAS ESPECIALLY ON T RECOVERY.

SO I STARTED TO WORK WITH ATHLETES ON IMPROVING THEI PERFORMANCE BY CHANGING TH FOOD THAT THEY ATE.

WE SAW AMAZING RESULTS.

DELAYED ONSET MUSCLE SOREN THE SORENESS YOU GET AFTER WORKOUT CUT IN HALF FROM 4 HOURS TO 24 HOURS WHICH AL PEOPLE TO EXERCISE AT HIGH INTENSITY AND IMPROVE STRE AND PERFORMANCE IN A MUCH RAPID RATE, THEY DO NOT GE SICK AND THEIR INJURY RATE DOWN DRAMATICALLY BECAUSE BODY WAS ABLE TO HEAL AFTE THOSE REALLY STRENUOUS EXE BOUTS.

I REALIZE FOOD WAS OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FACT FOR AN ATHLETES TO PERFORM >> HOW CAN AN EVERYDAY PER BENEFIT FROM WHAT YOU JUST SHARED?

>> WHAT WE LEARNED FROM ATHLETES BECAUSE THERE BOD ARE ALREADY AT AN OPTIMAL STATE, BY CHANGING NUTRITI WE CHANGE EVERY PART OF TH BODY FROM THE DNA TO THE B FLOW TO THE REDUCTION OF INFLAMMATION TO THE IMPAIR OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM IN TH BODY'S ABILITY TO HEAL.

ALL OF US ARE THE SAME WAY IN FACT, THERE ARE LOTS OF PEOPLE THAT USE THEIR BODI LIKE ATHLETES EVERY SINGLE FOR THEIR LIVING.

IN MANY WAYS THEY ARE JUST PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES.

BY CHANGING THEIR FOOD, TH TOO CAN CUT DOWN ON THE NU OF DAYS THEY ARE SICK AND SEE THAT WITH A WHOLE FOOD PLANT-BASED DIET, THE NUMB DAYS MISSED FROM WORK GO D DRAMATICALLY.

WE SEE THAT PEOPLE HAVE LO INJURY RATES, WHETHER THEY DOING WEEKEND ACTIVITIES O PART OF THEIR WORK.

WE SEE THEIR MOOD IMPROVES FOOD ACTUALLY REDUCES SWEL AND INFLAMMATION IN THE BR >> THANK YOU SO MUCH DR.

S STOLL .

>>> I HOPE YOU CAN STICK A FOR ONE MORE CONVERSATION AFTER OUR NEXT SEGMENT.

IF YOU HAVE BEEN INSPIRED THIS PROGRAM TO MAKE CHANG YOUR LIFE, NOW IS THE PERF TIME TO MAKE CHANGES IN TH KIND OF TELEVISION PROGRAM AVAILABLE TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

THE NUMBER ON THE WEBSITE YOU CAN MAKE THIS HAPPEN I YOUR SCREEN.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ACT.

IN THE SAME WAY A SIMPLE DECISION TO CHANGE WHAT YO CAN AFFECT YOUR LIFE, A SI PHONE CALL CAN HELP PROVID QUALITY TELEVISION TO YOUR COMMUNITY.

FOR NOW LET'S RETURN TO MO FOOD AS MEDICINE WHERE I BELIEVE IT IS TIME FOR THE SWEET STUFF.

WELCOME BACK.

BEFORE WE TALKED ABOUT THE POWER OF PURPLE, THE BENEF OF BEATS AND FOODS THAT WI SHORT-CIRCUIT CANCER CELLS LET'S CHECK IN AGAIN WITH ERIC.

TELL ME, WHAT IS IN THE DE >> THE DESERT IS BLUEBERRI BANANA, A LITTLE BIT OF MI YOU CAN USE WHOLE MILK, NOK -- NOT -- NUT MILK.

ANOTHER'S HONEY GRANOLA ANS ON TOP.

>> SOUNDS GOOD.

THE POWER OF PURPLE.

>> WE TALK ABOUT PURPLE, W TALK ABOUT THE PIGMENT COL THESE FRUITS AND VEGETABLE WE HAVE SOME PURPLE POTATO THAT WE SAW EARLIER IN THE TEACHING.

EVEN THESE BLACK BEANS AND BEAUTIFUL BLUEBERRIES AND BLACKBERRIES.

>> DELICIOUS, ABSOLUTELY.

>> THE PICKETS ARE CALLED PHYTOCHEMICALS.

THERE IN THESE FOODS AND T CHEMICALS WHEN WE EAT THEM ACTUALLY GO DOWN AND WORK WITHIN A COUPLE OF HOURS T OPEN THE BLOOD VESSELS IN BODIES.

WHAT HAPPENS IS THE PHYTOCHEMICALS WORK ON THE LITTLE CELLS WE TALKED ABO EARLIER IN OUR BLOOD VESSE THOSE ENDOTHELIAL CELLS PR LITTLE CHEMICALS CAUSING B VESSELS TO OPEN UP WHICH INCREASES THE BLOOD SUPPLY THIS CAN BE REALLY IMPORTA FOR PEOPLE THAT HAVE HEART DISEASE AND IMPROVED BLOOD SUPPLY TO THE HEART, IMPRO BLOOD SUPPLY BASICALLY WHE THE BLOOD WOULD FLOW.

WE KNOW TODAY, GENERAL STATISTICS ARE 50% OF MEN 50 AND 70% OVER 70 ARE IMPOTENT.

IT IS A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE MANY COUPLES AROUND AMERIC >> IT'S ABOUT BLOOD FLOW F MEN?

BUCKET IS THE FLOW.

THAT IS WHY THESE FOODS LI PIZZA BLUEBERRIES AND PURP POTATOES AND A WHOLE FOOD - BASED DIET, AMAZINGLY IT IMPROVES BLOOD SUPPLY.

AND IT CAN CHANGE SO MANY THOSE ISSUES THAT ARE IMPA BY POOR BLOOD FLOW.

>> I HEAR PEOPLE RUSHING T STORE TO GET BEATS.

>> YES.

[ LAUGHTER ]NATURES VIAGRA ALSO YOU NEED BLUEBERRIES YOU INCREASE BLOOD SUPPLY.

THE RESEARCH ALSO SHOWS YO PREVENT UP TO 40% OF PARKIS WITH MORE OF THIS.

IT IMPROVES BLOOD SUGAR FO THOSE WITH DIABETES AND RE INFLAMMATION FOR THOSE WIT ARTHRITIS.

WE ARE EATING THESE FOODS IT IS NOT LIKE WE'RE TAKIN PILL FOR ONE THING, WE ARE EATING FOOD AND IT IS HAVI MULTIPLICATION EFFECT IN O BODY AND IT IS EFFECTING A OUR SYSTEMS WHILE WE ENJOY THESE DELICIOUS FOODS AND MEALS.

BUT I SEE YOU HAVE QUINOA.

MOST PEOPLE WHO GROW UP EA A LOT OF GRAINS LIVE LONGE ELABORATE.

>> IT IS INTERESTING.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE LONGE LIVED PEOPLE IN THE WORLD, WAS A STUDY OF FIVE POPULA AROUND THE WORLD THAT HAVE LONGEST LIVED PEOPLE GROUP THE LOWEST RATES OF DISEAS THEY FOUND SEVERAL THINGS.

THE MOST COMMON THING THOS GROUPS SHARED, THEY ATE BE EVERY DAY.

A CUP OF BEANS.

AN AMAZING SOURCE OF PROTE WITH 18 GRAMS OF PROTEIN P CUP.

ALSO THE FIBER IN THEIR FE THE GOT BACTERIA THAT WE H ABOUT EARLIER THAT IS SO IMPORTANT FOR OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM.

ALSO, WHEN THEY LOOK AT GR AT ALL OF THE STUDIES ON GRAINS, PEOPLE THAT EAT WH GRAINS LIKE THE QUINOA WE ENJOYING TODAY, THOSE WHOL GRAINS HAVE LOTS OF RESEAR HUNDREDS OF STUDIES, THAT THEY HELP TO FIGHT ALL DIS AND IMPROVE LONGEVITY.

>> GRAPHIC ABOUT GROWING U MOTHER COOKED MOST OF THE WE ATE, WE DID NOT GO OUT LOT.

I THINK THAT IS TRUE FOR A OF PEOPLE.

YOU MENTIONED PEOPLE NEED GET BACK TO THAT.

>> WE ARE EATING THE WESTE DIET, WHAT IS SO INTERESTI WHEN WE LOOK AT WHAT WE US EAT 100 YEARS AGO COMPARED WHAT WE TODAY, THIS HIGHLY PROCESSED REFINED FOOD DIE ARE EATING IN THE WESTERN TODAY CREATES INFLAMMATION BECAUSE IT COMES WITH LITT THINGS CALLED FREE RADICAL I THINK YOU AND I TALKED A THIS, LITTLE TORNADOES THA WREAK HAVOC THROUGH OURSEL CAUSING DAMAGE AND INFLAMM AND WHEN WE EAT THESE REFI FOODS AND INSTEAD SHIFTING WHOLE FOOD DIET, IT MITIGA IT.

IT DECREASES ALL OF THE LI TORNADOES BECAUSE THESE DO ELECTRONS TO BREAK UP THE TORNADOES AND REDUCE INFLAMMATION THROUGHOUT TH BODY.

>> I WANT TO CHAT WITH YOU SINCE YOU HAVE NOT MADE TH SHIFT.

A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK IT I DELICIOUS.

YOUR THOUGHTS?

WHAT YOU THINK?

>> I THINK I HAVE MY PLATE CLEARED HERE, IT IS VERY G I LIKE TO SEE HOW YOU CAN OTHER PROTEIN SOURCES BECA GREW UP THINKING YOU NEED HAVE MILK FOR CALCIUM AND AND CHICKEN FOR YOUR PROTE SO THAT IS KIND OF WHERE I MAKING THE SHIFT.

WHAT I LEARNED FROM THE DO IS SO MUCH OF US, WE MAKE THE CENTER OF THE PLATE WH REALLY NEEDS TO BE A SIDE.

AND MORE PERSPECTIVE WITH ON YOUR PLATE, THAT'S WHAT NEEDS TO LOOK LIKE.

>> WE TALKED ABOUT MYTHBUS THAT IS A BIG PET PEEVE OF MINE, PROTEIN, YOU DON'T N TO GET FROM ANIMALS, COWS HUGE AND DO NOT EAT MEAT, GORILLAS AS WELL.

ELABORATE ON THAT.

PEOPLE THINK YOU NEED TO E MEAT.

>> ONE OF THE MISCONCEPTIO WE HAVE TO GET PROTEIN FRO MEAT AND COMPLETE PROTEINS ME.

-- MEET.

-- MEMES -- MEAT.

VEGETARIAN ANIMALS ARE MAS STRONG ANIMALS BECAUSE THE GETTING PROTEIN FROM PLANS JUST LIKE ALL OF THE FOOD IT ALL CONTAINS PROTEIN.

THEY HAVE DONE THE RESEARC LOOKING AT PLANT-BASED DIE THERE IS NO PLANT-BASED DI THAT DOES NOT SUPPLY ENOUG PROTEIN WHAT IT INCLUDES A VARIETY OF WHOLE GRAINS, B LENTILS, AND CHICKPEAS.

>> SO LET'S TALK SPICES, I YOU MENTIONED TURMERIC EAR >> THERE IS A GREAT STUDY BY A FRIEND OF MINE FROM T GENESIS FOUNDATION.

THEY FOUND TUMOR CELLS STIMULATES THE BLOOD VESSE GROW BLOOD VESSELS INTO TH TUMOR CELLS THAT SUPPLY NO ONLY BLOOD TO THE TUMOR BU ALSO NUTRIENTS TO THE TUMO IT CAN GROW AND SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE BODY.

SO THEY LOOKED AT THE FOOD THAT WOULD CUT OFF THOSE B THAT WOULD CUT OFF THOSE B FOUND IT WAS THINGS LIKE TURMERIC, CINNAMON, GINGER DARK LEAFY GREENS, FRESH BERRIES, BEANS, BEETS, KAL COLLARDS, QUINOA, ALL OF T FOODS WITH A PLANT-BASED D THE VERY FOODS THAT CUT OF BLOOD SUPPLY TO CANCER CEL >> YOU SAID PEOPLE SAY IT EASY TO INCORPORATE THIS I THE DIET, QUINOA, I HAVE H PEOPLE SAY IT DIFFERENTLY.

I'M SURE WE ALL HAVE.

IT IS A NEW FOOD FOR MANY.

HOW CAN PEOPLE INCORPORATE OF THESE THINGS INTO THEIR DIET?

>> WALKED THE PERIMETER OF SUPERMARKET.

-- WALK THE PERIMETER OF T SUPERMARKET AND LOOK AT TH FRESHNESS.

INCORPORATE A NEW INGREDIE DUE TO YOUR MENU ONCE A MO EVEN.

WHAT YOU WILL FIND IS DIVE WHAT YOU WILL FIND IS DIVE MARKET.

GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZO AND I THINK EATING THROUGH FULL-SPECTRUM OF FOOD BOTH TERMS OF GREENS, VEGETABLE COLORS, KEEP IT COLORFUL.

THINK KEEP IT LOCAL WHICH YOU ARE KEEPING IT SEASONA EVERYTHING THAT GROWS WITH THE SEASON IS AT THE PEAK ITS FLAVOR.

IS ALSO THE CHEAPEST.

TO GET THE BEST OF THE LOW PRICE.

BUT THAT IS A WIN-WIN.

YOU MENTIONED, I THINK YOU MENTIONED BANANAS AND STRAWBERRIES COMING FROM F AWAY AS THEIR NUTRITIONAL VALUE.

EXPLAINED THAT PLEASE.

>> A LOT OF TIMES BECAUSE IS BEING SHIPPED AROUND TH WORLD, IT IS PICKED GREEN.

KNOW FROM A LOT OF RESEARCT FOOD MAXIMIZES ITS NUTRITI CONTENT WHEN IT IS ALLOWED RIPEN.

BY PICKING IT EARLY, WE LO SOME OF THE NUTRITION AND IT IS TRUCKED ACROSS THE COUNTRY OR FLOAT AROUND TH WORLD, THOSE NUTRIENTS ARE DECLINING ALL THE WAY TO T SUPERMARKET.

SO THAT IS THE POWER OF LO AT WHAT TENDER GREENS AND IS DOING.

THEY ARE PICKED RIGHT WITH MAXIMUM NUTRITION AND GROW FARMERS THAT ARE CARING AN CONCERNED ABOUT THE SOIL.

>> ORGANIC AGRICULTURE IS PUTTING MORE PEOPLE INTO T WORKPLACE.

IT IS ACTUALLY STIMULATING LOCAL ECONOMIES, NOT SHIPP MONEY OFF TO LOCAL COMPANI THAT PRODUCE PRODUCTS IN A DIFFERENT STATE OR EVEN A DIFFERENT COUNTRY.

>> BEING ON AN ORGANIC FAR PENNSYLVANIA AT THE RODALE INSTITUTE, WE GROW SOME OF MOST NUTRIENT DENSE FESTIV IN THE COUNTRY.

-- VEGETABLES IN THE COUNT WE BRING INTO COMMUNITIES DO NOT NECESSARILY HAVE AC TO ORGANIC PRODUCE AT A REASONABLE COST.

WE HAVE ALL OF THE BOXES A SHARES THAT WE WILL BE DELIVERING AND AS AN EXAMP THESE ARE SOME OF THE HEAL VEGETABLES WE PICKED TODAY YESTERDAY.

ONE OF THE THINGS WE DO WI THE PROGRAM IS DELIVER FRE LOCAL ORGANIC VEGETABLES T COMMUNITIES THAT NEED IT M WHAT WE ARE GOING TO BE DO IS DELIVERING A FRESH BOX PRODUCE TO A FAMILY THAT W NOT NECESSARILY HAVE ACCES THAT IN THEIR LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD.

NOT ONLY ARE WE TRYING TO PROVIDE THIS FOOD TO THE P THAT CANNOT AFFORD IT, WE TO PROVIDE THE HELP TO THE PEOPLE THAT ACTUALLY WANT EAT THIS FOOD AS WELL.

RIGHT NOW, ORGANIC IS 5% O MARKETPLACE AND GROWING AT DOUBLE-DIGIT RATES.

ORGANIC VEGETABLES ARE THE FASTEST GROWING SECTOR IN AGRICULTURE.

THE ORGANIC INDUSTRY IS ON THE ONLY GROWING SECTORS O AGRICULTURE.

SO FARMERS AR ADDING EMPLOYEES AND SEEIN TREMENDOUS INCREASE IN CON DEMAND.

>> EVERYONE WATCHING THE SEGMENT TODAY HAS THE POWE MAKE A CHANGE BECAUSE THEY WITH THEIR DOLLARS.

RETIREE PURCHASE A FOOD IT A SUPERMARKET, GROCERY STO OR RESTAURANT, YOU ARE MAK CHOICE, YOU ARE VOTING WIT DOLLARS FOR A PARTICULAR T OF FOOD SYSTEM, YOU ARE TE FARMERS AND AGRICULTURAL SYSTEMS WHAT IT IS YOU WAN WE HAVE TO TAKE THAT POWER SERIOUSLY BECAUSE WE CAN A HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT.

>> THAT IS THE POWER OF TH PLATES.

WHEN I THINK OF THE BIGGER PICTURE OF WHAT WE'RE TALK ABOUT WITH THIS PROGRAM, W WE MAKE DECISIONS TO PUT SOMETHING ON OUR PLATE, TH DECISIONS HAVE A MULTITUDE IMPLICATIONS.

NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE DOING IMPACTS HER HEALTH, BUT OU HEALTH IMPACTS RELATIONSHI THE PEOPLE WE LOVE AND PEO AROUND US.

THE DECISIONS WE MAKE IMPA THE FARMERS AND THE FARM FAMILIES THAT ARE GROWING AND CARING FOR THE SOIL WE STEWARDING FORWARDED TO FU GENERATIONS.

>> TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK?

>> DELICIOUS.

>> EXCELLENT.

>> GOOD.

YOUR FAVORITE PART?

>> THE FLAVOR.

ALL OF IT.

THERE WAS NO OIL IN IT, RI >> I MADE COOKIES, THEY AR FAVORITE, THERE ARE ONLY T BASIC INGREDIENTS OF THE, BANANAS, OATMEAL, AND CINN YOU CAN ADD DATES, NOT BUT BUT THEY'RE DELICIOUS.

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW T I LOVE ICE CREAM.

SO I SAID OH NO I'M GOING FOOD IN PLANT-BASED WHERE GET ICE CREAM, I CHOP UP BANANAS AND FREEZE THEM.

POP THEM IN THE FREEZER OVERNIGHT OR UNTIL THEY AR HARD.

PUT THEM IN A BLENDER.

THAT DO NOT PUT WATER OR A NUT MILKS OR ANYTHING IN T IT MAKES AN ICE CREAM CONSISTENCY LIKE A BANANA SO I PUT THAT ON TOP OF TH COOKIES AND MAKE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES.

>> THAT SOUNDS DELICIOUS.

>> YOU WILL HAVE AN ICE SANDWICH PARTY AFTER THIS HAVE HEARD.

>> I LOVED IT, I LOVE SEEIW SIMPLE AND EASY IT WAS TO PREPARE IT.

SOMETHING I THINK ANYONE C AT HOME AFTER WORK.

WHEN YOU ARE TIRED AND STR BUT ONCE OF THE DELICIOUS.

IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE.

>> YES.

I THINK AGAIN, BY THE BEST POSSIBLE INGREDIENTS AND D LITTLE TO THEM AS POSSIBLE D NATURAL INTEGRITY AND EXPRESSION OF THOSE INGRED COME OUT.

THIS IS SUPER SIMPLE, TAKE MINUTES TO PREPARE THREE COURSES.

>> AND WHAT ABOUT THE BROC BUT THIS IS THE INTERESTIN SCIENCE, WE TAKE GARLIC AN CRUSH IT, WHEN YOU ARE DOI ALLOWING THE CHEMICALS ON INSIDE OF THE CELLS TO MIX THE CHEMICALS ON THE OUTSI THE CELLS AND IT ACTUALLY ACTIVATES SOME OF THE PHYTOCHEMICALS IN GARLIC W HAVE POTENT ANTICANCER EFF BY CRUSHING GARLIC, LET IT 10 MINUTES, THEN COOK WITH YOU ARE ENHANCING THE NUTRITIONAL CONTENT AND TH HEALTH BENEFITS TO YOUR BO SAME WITH THINGS LIKE KALE ROCK AWAY.

BY CHOPPING THOSE THINGS U YOU ARE ALLOWING ALL OF TH CHEMICALS TO MIX AND WHEN MIX THE CHEMICALS, IT ACTI PHYTOCHEMICALS LIKE THOSE ANTICANCER EFFECTS IN THE IT ALSO IMPROVES THE TASTE THINGS BY MIXING.

>> YOU DON'T LIKE TO MIX G AND.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

YOU WOULD SEE ME HAVE A MEN .

>> WE WERE TALKING EARLIERT BLACK PEPPER AND TURMERIC, PUTTING BLACK PEPPER ON TURMERIC TO INCREASE THE ABSORPTION 10,000 PRESENT.
