I am sure some of you know this guy, but its new to me. I did and do smoothies just from following my intuition. But this guy really made super foods(outer Alchemy his life). I would watch his show on the food network. It also inspired me to study the chinese food system based on the five elements. Any suggestion on good books to read on the subject.

‘only’ US$800.
A side note: those ingredients are very energy intensive – by that I mean that the calories invested in getting those ingredients to him far outweigh the caloric value of the food. An argument might be able to be made that the energetic value of the food is more than its caloric content. I would guess that there might be an order of magnitude difference between the energy invested in getting the food to the energy received from it. If the differential is that high, the moral arguments against those ingredients would outweigh any energetic benefits.
Less flashy but arguably no less alchemical:
Maitake mushrooms grown very locally
Chicken pastured on a farm about an hour away
Onions and celery root cultivated on the same farmCook all ingredients for several hours. Energy invested from electric stove – ~.75 horsepower/hour, 600 watts/hour, 30 cents at the current electricity rates.
The chickens eat grass and bugs with some added starches. They excrete a great compost for the creation of more grasses, bugs and grains.
The soup is fantastic if you’re not feeling well, and is delicious, nutritious, and magical regardless. If these exact ingredients are not available locally to you, there are likely perfect energetic substitutes.

PS note the ‘tell’ David gives about raw foodies drinking coffee. The secrets are where the truth usually abides.When you purchase some of these wild crafted superfoods,however, you are protecting endangered habitat like the Amazon and fostering economy in a fair trade situation.
“Less flashy but arguably no less alchemical:

My shake recipe has more anti oxidants than a person eating a standard “healthy” diet gets in several days and more than a person eating a S.A.D gets in a year.Good books to check are Dr Jubbs Cell Rejuvination and Lifefood recipe book.

When I was looking into this diet awhile back I had the same things come up. I do not do diets I just use my intuition. I just take little tid bits here and there. You are right if this energy thing does not get figured out the fruitarians living in citys may have to move to the south.:) That would be funny, you might pick your home by your diet. I wonder if there are low carbon foot print people living up north eating fruit year round.:)
