An Interview with Pat Connolly, PPNF Curator, Part I
Part I is on diet and nutrition: philosophy, suggestions for individual foods, and helpful - and tasty - cooking ideas. "My mother always emphasized raw foods. Of course, my husband, Joe Connolly (a holistic dentist), was also the major influence. Another person with a major influence was Alfreda Rooke. And of course Drs. Weston Price and Melvin Page were - and remain - very strong influences. PPNF was established as a foundation around the time Joe and I were married." Carol: "What were some of the food choices that you've made over the years that have had a powerful, positive influence on your health?" Pat: "I think fresh vegetables, raw leafy greens, salads, green drinks, and rare meats have helped a great deal. Other good food choices include raw butter, raw cream, organ meats, and raw, fertile, brown eggs from free-range chickens. I think that overall, and to the greatest possible extent, one should maximize the intake of raw foods."
