Pinkrose, unable? What message do you get?

Wow... how welcoming is that? A great printout with the addition to your link. A excellent gift:) Would make a nice brochure. I see you spiraling through out the galaxy, to touch the speck antiquity of each stardust that sits in our classrooms. Hopefully our education system will be open to be change.

Aloha, patty

Patty, lovely comments, yet to whom are they directed? Printout?

Thanks,
Lanii

Oh I thought I would print it out to share within my circle of friends. It could be just a great lead in or a reminder of the principles of being starch centered, or however they choose to call their lifestyle. My first thought... intention:) would be it would be great to put the thought out... and maybe someone like Whole Foods would pick it up. I feel your strength of the Simple/ the five food groups, captures the core, the basics to a broad audience. Have you thought about approaching Whole Foods? In their vegetable department.. they presented the Andi Scores, not sure if they still do. I remember people looking, reading and discussing the signs. They will be opening another store on the other side of the island.

Aloha, patty only good thoughts for you!

Great article, Lani. My only suggestion for improvement would be to add the quantity suggestions per meal in addition to the "half the plate" idea. It really helped me when I saw a suggestion to do 2 C of starch per meal. Can't find that thread now, but I was confused about the amounts to eat until I saw that. Pictures of typical meals would be nice, too.

This corporate world, which, along with science and technology, is often blamed for current crises, is suddenly in crisis itself because of a dramatic new development on the human scene: the Internet. From my perspective as an evolution biologist, this WorldWideWeb of information exchange is a kind of fractal biology repeat pattern of the first version, built by bacteria billions of years ago, as we see in Chapter 4. And just like its ancient counterpart—still in existence among bacteria worldwide today—it is a self-organizing living system. This Internet is also an increasingly massive exercise in inventing democracy anew, and quite possibly the most significant influence in changing human society at the dawn of this new millennium.

Chapter 20 describes the inherent organizational design and operating principles of this new Web as those of living systems, and thus shows why it has the power to force corporations with organizational designs and operating principles based on command and control mechanics to change their ways—to become more like living systems themselves. As corporations, which play such a powerful determining role in our species’ behavior as a whole, are transformed into abiding by the sustainable survival.

A Note from the Author principles of living systems, their goals will necessarily come into harmony with our personal and community goals. We can then mature like other species from competition to cooperation and build a human society in which the goals of individual and community, of local and global economy, of economy and ecology are met. This will shift us out of crises and into the happier, healthier world of which we all dream. Let it be so! Elisabet Sahtouris, September, 2000
