HOW TO LIVE THE 'GOOD LIFE'
|
|
|
|
|
To many of us, the stark architecture of our post-modern lives often makes it easy to forget what is truly important. The vitality and uniqueness of our lives are being slowly stripped away by the ever-growing standardization and commoditization of our day. Mainstream media and anonymous corporate voices dizzy us with advice on what to buy and how to live 'the good life'. Unfortunately, this definition of 'good' no longer springs from within our own hearts, but instead is concocted in corporate boardrooms and the hallways of distant advertising agencies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Nowhere is this stark corporate influence more pervasive than in the foods we eat. For most people in the Western world, giant multi-national companies actually grow, process, and deliver the great majority of our foods, with little regard for the sustained health of our bodies or our communities. These same companies barrage us with marketing and advertising, trying to convince us that only their products, their way of life, can offer true health and satisfaction. But unfortunately, we have been forced to buy into a system that is - in many ways - not sustainable.
|
|
|
All around us we see the consequences of this modern food system. The corporate takeover of our food has led to the exploitation and marginalization of our farmers and agricultural workers, and the poisoning of our groceries, our rivers, and ourselves.

HIGHLIGHTING LOCALLY-SOURCED VEGAN INGREDIENTS & TRADITIONS
|
|
|
|
|
Vital Creations was founded for those who wanted to tread a different path. Our goal is to illuminate new avenues to nutrition by highlighting locally-sourced vegan ingredients & traditions. We seek to offer more healthful alternatives to the corporate traditions that have pervaded our dinner tables, school cafeterias, and supermarkets. Whether through inspired haute cuisine or the simplest of comfort food snacks, our creations seek to satisfy not only the palette, but the mind, the soul, and the neighborhood as well. Through our Seminars & Chef Trainings, we hope to expand the grass-roots celebration that is the vegan and living foods movement.
|
|
|
In this spirit, we have joined a growing network of inspired entrepreneurs and socially-minded companies who are committed to truly sustainable business practices. This fellowship links Vital Creations to the expanding collection of activists, enthusiasts, and professionals throughout the world working together to advance awareness about sustainable agriculture, businesses, and diet.
|
|
|
We believe the power of this movement is found in its disparate voices, each advocating a particular aspect of sustainable living as a whole. As a result, our family of affiliates has grown into a galaxy of motivated individuals, each working to forward the cause. Our family has grown over the years to include a rich tapestry…from collective farmers in the Middle East, to creative luminaries in Hollywood….from builders of environmentally-effective sky-scrapers, to native medicine men in the jungles of South America.

DIVERSITY MAKES LIFE WORTH CELEBRATING
|
|
|
|
|
And though we each view the mountain from a different angle, we know that the summit is the same. Our goals are one: To ensure the sustained celebration of life on Earth. With this purpose in mind, we at Vital Creations seek not to pass judgment on the lifestyles or choices of others. Instead, we believe that diversity creates strength. In short: Diversity makes life worth celebrating.
|
|
|
Wrapped in this warm hope, the Vital Creations/Raw Chef Team gratefully continues to promote the Living Foods tradition.
