Now the Haida Salmon Restoration Corp offices have been raided by the Canadian government. The raid happened just two days before the Canadian Broadcasting Corp aired a TV documentary about this ocean dumping, and the disappearing 2.5 million dollars from the Haida Nation. Radio Ecoshock was consulted during production. Nick Saul is author of "The Stop: How The Fight for Good Food Transformed a Community and Inspired a Movement". He developed a template of food justice for the millions in the West being mal-fed by food banks instead of empowered to grow. Includes Nick's notes on how Brazil does better than North Americans feeding the poor. UC Berkeley Professor Martha Campbell says UN population theory, and the economists, have it all wrong. We can't wait for "development" to rein in population growth. That never happens when the average family size is five kids or greater. How environmentalists and women's groups went off the rails. Now Ethiopia is headed for 150 million, and Nigeria will have more than the current U.S. population. What could go wrong? LISTEN TO THIS RADIO ECOSHOCK SHOW RIGHT NOW! SUPPORT NEW RADIO ECOSHOCK OUTREACH Please consider supporting Radio Ecoshock. I need to raise funds for two specific projects: 1. I'm booked to attend the Mother Earth News fair on June 1st and 2nd in Puyallup Washington. I hope to do a ton of interviews for you - but I could use some help for the gas money. 2. In a longer-term plot, I hope to reach still more people by doing regular You tube videos, including video postings of the Radio Ecoshock Show. That means an equipment upgrade for my studio, including a camera, some lighting, and video editing software. It seems important to carry the message of climate demise, and social transition to a broader audience. Your donations can help make this happen. Just go to this page, and choose either "Donate" (any amount) or "Subscribe" (with a monthly automatic donation.) I promise all money raised this year will be spent ONLY on upgrading Radio Ecoshock, to reach more people, and get you even better multimedia interviews! NICK SAUL: MOVING FROM CHARITY TO SELF REALIZATION Nick Saul, CEO of Community Food Centres (Canada) Finding good food has become a kind of second job for all of us now, as the agri-business and fast-food empire serve up deadly fare. The left-overs from that giant system go to our poorest people through the food-banks. At least that's the old model. How did food banks move from a stop-gap measure to an acceptable solution? Can they evolve into a real self-sustaining food movement? Our guest Nick Saul has gone a long way down that road with an innovative food community in Toronto, Canada. With his wife Andrea Curtis, Nick has just published the new book "The Stop: How the Fight for Good Food Transformed a Community and Inspired a Movement". In a nutshell, Nick describes the sad state of the food bank system. The food is not very healthy, and the "clients" are too often kept in degrading lines, with no input into the system.
