Rabbit Proof Fence

Watched this very moving sad film yesterday..

Something called Rabbit Proof Fence..

It's a true story from some 60 odd years ago of 3 young aboriginal children that were forcibly separated from their mothers by the state, in a barbaric attempt (that only ended in 1970!) to somehow eradicate the aborignal race, through interbreeding them with white people..

The girls are taken over 1500 kms from their homeland, where they are then imprisoned with a whole bunch of other kids suffering the same fate..

Through bush survival skills, these 3 girls escape the home they are forced to live in, and miraculously (2 of them) find their way back to their mother..

It's an incredibly sad movie that had me crying through the most of it, and even now, just thinking of it, the tears are welling up again..

I find human behaviour often extremely incomprehensible..

Movie Review - 3 - The Earthlings Movie

This video is quite distressing.. But still, I believe it could benefit the planet if the vast majority of the human race could open their hearts and minds and watch it honestly and openly..



I particularly would like people to understand some of the truth behind the whole pet industry.. (see here for: my view on companion animals).

Peace,

Fruitarian Book - 5 - The Fruit Hunters

Well.. Not exactly a fruitarian book, it's more of a fruit lovers book, and recounts the story of the author's adventures in search of some of the worlds rarest exotic fruits..

The front cover describes the book as a story of nature, adventure, commerce and obsession.. It's written by a guy named Adam Leith Gollner, and is an account of the world of fruit, and of those that appreciate it..

He describes in great detail many of the most delightful fruits he's encountered, as well as some of the fellow fruit loving enthusiasts he's met on his travels, - creators of new fruit varieties, fruit smugglers and even a few fruitarians!!

There's info about the history of fruit, and of the dodgy practices of the international fruit trade, with info on biochemical growth inhibitors, hormone-based retardants, dyes, waxes and corrupt USDA inspectors.

Enjoy..
Peace to all,
Mango.

Fruitarian Book - 3 - The Health Revolution

Ross Horne had been on a fruitarian diet for 3 years at the time of writing this book.

I first read it around the mid 1990s and must admit I was pretty impressed with most of what he says.

Some of it is pretty scientific, but still easy enough for the average bod to get to grips with, and most of it is really all about common sense, which is right up my street as that's the approach that I prefer, so this book really hit home with me.

It looks like the price is a little steep on Amazon at the moment, but if anyone is interested in a copy and willing to pay for it via paypal, then leave a comment, or drop me an email, and I will keep my eye open for a 2nd hand copy of it here in Sydney.. I seem to recall seeing a copy of one in a 2nd hand shop we go to sometimes..

Meanwhile, this is a poem printed in the back of the book, that I think is really quite profound:

The Ambulance at The Bottom of The Valley.

Hugs,
Mango.

Movie review - 1 - Hair - The Musical

Now, admittedly, I'm not the worlds greatest musical fan, but about 10 years ago, a friend invited me to watch Hair.. I was very dubious about the prosect, and I guess I had already judged the movie to be not one that I would particularly enjoy..

So you may imagine my delight as I slowly got drawn into the story, and mesmorised by the music..

Hair is, with but one small exception, the movie that I have seen more times than any other.. Each time I hear a little music from it, it brings a small tear of sadness and joy to my eye. I'm not quite sure why..

It's set in the 60s, and not perhaps at all what you might expect..

Let the sun shine in, and be pleasantly surprised!

Read another review about it here:

PS If you are interested in what the one small exception is (mentioned above), then it is a russian childrens animated puppet show called Kiwaczek.. I think I watched it with my little niece almost every day for several months.. Very sweet story..

Book Review - 1 - The Mystery of 2012

A non Fruitarian book review.

This is a book about the predictions, prophecies and Possibilities for the year 2012..

As you may know already, according to some pretty ancient civilizations, the year 2012 is the predicted end of the world as we know it.

That's not to say the world blows up, just that things will change.. Whether the change be a shift in global conscience or something far less subtle is uncertain.

2012 is deeply ingrained in the Mayan calender prophecy and culture..

These are some words taken from the book The Mystery of 2012:

It seems that we could be in for a ramp up in human evolution and/or for catastrophes affecting the solar system... The Maya apparently pointed to an event where on the solstice of 21st December 2012, our sun lines up with the equator of the milky way - a once in a 26,000 years event..

Well.. we won't have to wait too much longer to find out whether or not anything vastly different will happen then.. Just  over 4 & half years away now, and we all know time flies.. 

Here's hoping that we are all safe, growing fruit trees, and away from the cities by then, because if something should happen, the cities are definitely not the place to be..

hugs,
Mango.

Fruitarian Book - 2 - Blatant Raw Foodist Propaganda

Not entirely a 100% fruit biased book, it most definitely did encourage me in that direction when I first read it some 15 years or more ago.. Actually, I would be quite surprised if the author himself has not become 100% fruitarian since writing the book.

I really love the author's, (Joe Alexander) bold no nonsense common sense style. He just gets straight to the point and says what he thinks.

This is a great, inspirational piece of work, and something any budding fruitarian would benefit from reading...

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I can't emphasize enough the importance of being inspired while transitting to a fruitarian diet as there is absolutely no doubt in my mind how diabolically addictive cooked food really is, so every word of encouragement should be welcomed heartily...

Hope you read and enjoy it!

Hugs as always,
Mango.

Having not yet had the oportunity to read the book, I am unable to vouch for the contents or state clearly whether I am in total agreement with it or not. However, it is likely that there are parts of it that I may disagree with, but I am sure that overall the book will be very inspirational to anyone who reads it.
