How to Live to Be A Hundred - Globe and Mail, 30-04-06, Page F9.

An article on nutrition becomes a beacon of hope for all parents who believe it is their reponsibility and admirable task to raise children who actually believe in partticipation, caring and duty. This article goes far beyond discussing physical nutrition. It explores a world where children are not only taught to be good to themselves but to also participate in the betterment of their environment and the psychological well-being of their community. The mental and physical health of the people involved in this article is mind-boggling, not because how they live is (in our western terms) impossible to emulate but rather that we, the supposed evolved west, have not implemented such practices, let alone even thought about doing so. If  there is even a remote chance that the west could embark on such a healthy diet of common sense we should definitely go for it. The futures of our children and their children (and the west's existence as a whole) depend on it - if it isn't already too late. . . - 30-04-06
