This BLOG started as a “thank you” to Capers Community Market for 23 years of keeping us fed, keeping us wise, and keeping us together: our ORGANIC food community. Now that Capers is gone: Where else ORGANIC? Where else can we find ORGANIC FOOD and other organic products? Not just LOCAL organic, but WORLDWIDE? Watch this space for CLUES!

Who knew what we eat could be so colorful! The photographs above are Kirlian images of how organic kiwi fruit looks on the “energetic level.” If only “Kirlian eye glasses” were a real possibility! Think how much easier shopping for the freshest, most nutrient-rich, energetically “alive” food would be. This energy clairvoyants can see with the naked eye, so maybe we can all learn to “see” the best food even without a Kirlian camera! Practice, lots of practice.Meanwhile, look for “organic” or “certified organic” labels!
How about this “organically grown” flash mob, right here in our own city! This is Robson Street the day the 2010 Olympics opened. For an even closer, right in the thick of the dancing crowd view, check out this imagine1day video. Three thousand people, with barely the room to move, dancing in the streets. Vancouver rocks! What an Olympics we had!
This YouTube parody “tells it like it is” in the food industry. More than one million hits and counting. All in good fun!These comments from Her Bunk Productions provide a “teaser”:
“Uncle Sam points out the problems we have when we buy cheap products from China. “Buy, Buy American Pie” was written and performed by the Capitol Steps. This is a parody and involves exageration. Tastykakes are made in the United States and not in China and definitely contain no harmful ingredients. Little Debbie is also located in the United States and not in China and their products contain no harmful ingredients.”

If you ever had any doubt about the benefits of organic versus commercial food, then the Kirlian photos of ORGANIC and commercial food BELOW should clear that.
The first PHOTO is of organic orange juice, and the second, commercial orange juice.Which looks “livier” to you?

Could there be another reason for giving your sweetheart chocolates on Valentine’s Day, besides the romantic?Yes, absolutely! The reason is chocolate “cures” stress. This is scientific fact, apparently.
In a recent clinical trial the ACS’ Journal of Proteome Research found that eating “an ounce and a half of dark chocolate a day for two weeks reduced levels of stress hormones in the bodies of people feeling highly stressed.” Chocolate partially corrects biochemical imbalances. How cool is that! This comes from a Health Freedom Alliance newsletter article called the “Chocolate Cure.”
So, eat your chocolate! And we know just the place for your romantic, “stress reducing” get-away! It’s the Organic Chocolate Café on Bowen Island, Cocoa West. You can even stay in a room called the “Chocolate Suite.” Forget the Bed and Breakfast, try a Bed and Chocolate!
