last Tuesday I saw this documental on Omega 3 on SBS

The show was asking whether by eatin fish we were more intelligent.
This was an UK study.
They did several studies on the fish question and they said that fish was a good source of Omega 3.
And several doctors were saying how good fish was.
But the interesting thing was when they tested vegetarians who didn·t eat fish, and they had a good source in their bodies of Omerga 3. And the vegetarian kids were as intelligent as fish eating kids
This particular doctor who is not a vegetarian found  that people that were vegetarian had a normal amount of Omega 3.
And the answer was that vegetarians have a good amount of greens in their diet.

He said that linseed was not a good way to obtain Omega 3 and that Omega 3 in in green  vegetables
was sufficient for vegetarians.
That is very good because being raw foodist we are having a large amount of greens, vegetables and fruits.

Did anyone else saw this programme?

very cool info.  I also read about a difference in farm-raised vs. wild salmon since people eat salmon for the omega 3's.  This particular book was about inflammation and it said that farm-raised salmon is a no-no for those with inflammatory problems since they are given cereal grains for their feed.  I know that farm-raised salmon are also given red dyes in the water in order to make the flesh redder b/c otherwise it'll come out on the grayer side.  i guess wild salmon won't induce inflammation.  i'll have to let a friend of mine know this since her husband has major joint problems and they try to eat healthy. 

thanks for the post patricia.

I believe what my own body is telling me...thats who i believe...and those who are getting the results that i desire!

Hey Patricia, this is great news! I'm going to keep that information in my head for all the non-believers. Thank you. I don't watch tv but maybe I'll have to start watching some doco's. If linseed is not hurting you at all then go for it. Try a few weeks without it and see how you go.

Hi Paul, I was having a conversation with another mother at school the other day and we were talking about kids behaviour and I said that I rarely give my kids sugar because it sends them off the deep end and turns them into nasty monsters. The other mother (big obese woman) told me I was ridiculous and did I not know that food doesn't affect moods? Believe it or not, there are people out there who are so far not into their health they just don't take any of that stuff in! I changed the subject and talked about something else for awhile. She probably thinks I'm anorexic!!! Never mind.

Hubby can tell when I've been eating cooked. Says I'm cranky when I eat cooked. Brave man. At the moment that means he cops it every three days or so! Oh dear. Personal experience tells me the truth.

i believe that every school already does serve raw vegan..fruit. maybe not the best quality but some is always better than none.


food affects how we think.
how we think, affects what we eat.

we are what we eat. chilled out organic sun loving fruit

or caged,trapped, soul broken, drugged up piece o' flesh

food is a powerful mind altering drug...i get comments all of the time about how calm i am...and i eat high fruit,low fat and some greens...who says you cant be grounded on high fruit!and most days my fat intake is 5-7% of my total cals...

yep raw vegan in canteens,bring on the fruit...gives the kids the best brain food that they can ever hope for..the carbs make the mind so clear and the memory formidable...
