Wonderfull episode! My daugther is 9 months old and I’m actually converting
my backyard to a garden for her to experience real food. Thanks to John for
this, I’m really using his methods of organic and sustainable growing
methods. I live in Canada so weather is a bit different, but I’m doing
research (geeking in the subject as my wife would say), but my goal is
clear now : I want the better eating education for my kid, and at this age,
I think, as parents, we are the primary source of it. So thanks again to
John and this episode of Garden of Eatin !

I think every grade in every school should teach how to grow your own
food!

WOW!! What PASSION! I can FEEL the LOVE you have for helping others!! I
sent you a comment and a message about mentoring me in starting a
revolutionary move like this in my area. I have such a passion, that also
brings me to tears at times, for helping others get well and passing it on
to younger generation. You ARE AMAZING JOHN!!!! God BLESS what you do for
others!!!!

The body must have salt and must have fat. Must. Must. Must. If you live on
a fat free diet you are starving the brain and that will end up giving you
severe memory loss. Alzheimers. Dementia. You must have butter. Must.
Margarine ie flora, outline, sunflower margarine, etc is one molecule
different from plastic. Do not eat margarine. Eat butter, Drink full fat
milk not skimmed milk. You must feed the brain. And salt. What utter lies
the media have told people about salt. You must have salt. Must. Must.
Must. Eat sea salt or himalayan salt. Not table salt, that is a processed
rubbish. See the talks on youtube by Dr JOEL WALLACH. See his talk
called – dead doctors tell no lies-. Youtube: BEN FUCHS, DR PETER GLIDDEN.
see Dr Mercola’s talk – The 13 Amazing Health Benefits of Himalayan Crystal
Salt, the Purest Salt on Earth”.

Awesome video John, love the show of passion…
This is the perfect age we need to get the children understanding all of
this stuff…There should be one of these places in every town across
America…
Great job David, its one thing to think of all this stuff, but its another
thing to put it all in action and see it blossom…
Please EVERYONE listen to what David says at 11:45, this is very important,
and a very big problem with our children today…

Thank goodness for Garden of Eatin’, and blessings to both of you for the
wonderful work you do! When my niece and nephew come to the Bay Area I’ll
be sure to take them there (and show them my balcony garden too!). Oh, and
I John I wanted to let you know that having a balcony garden has inspired
my mom to start too!

Such passion John, I think I understand what it means to you- it’s helping
people avoid the suffering you went through, it’s eliminating disease. It’s
important work you do. It must’ve felt good to be with someone so like
minded.

its awesome to teach our young about gardening so early in life. I wish I
learnt about raised bed gardening earlier in life. it would of been alot
easier for my husband and I when we first started living together. We were
so poor that we didnt eat vegetables for years and only ate crap. Not only
does gardening prevent childhood obesity it might eventually stop adult
obesity.

John, this is sooo awesome! I am so inspired and moved by your and David’s
passion and dedication. As it happens, I have a close friend who is
starting a garden at her child’s Montessori school right now. I am sending
this to her immediately, and I know she will be super inspired and excited.
Thank you so much!

It’s been several years since John came to my garden and interviewed me —
I just finished watching John and myself — its as good now as it was
then. I want to thank John where ever he is – Thank him for his passion and
dedication to growing good food, Three Cheers for you John
