Nutritional Findings
Helping end nutritional suffering through nutrition education, food cultivation, and food donation.
The Purpose
Our goal of helping end nutritional suffering through nutrition education, food cultivation, and food donation has been set. What does this mean and how can we achieve this? There is no doubt many tragedies, physical/psychological disease and starvation/malnutrition mainly, involve nutrition/dietary related causes. To reduce the suffering caused by these tragedies, non-profit systems and projects revolving around education, cultivation, and donation are needed. The education of credible, practical, and truthful nutritional science can majorly change one’s health for the better. Whenever you give someone non-bias,practical nutritional science knowledge, it can help themselves adapt to their own nutritional needs. The knowledge of skills such as cultivation, culinary arts, foraging, fermenting, and similar practices is also key to achieving homeostasis because of the loaded access of sustainable nutrients. Lastly, donation is required to those in need of nutritional support whether is be starvation or less urgent malnutrition. Food drives, monetary donations to communities and organizations, and open source information on recipes, resources, etc. are ways to up lift people who may be malnourished. Health achieved through nutrition should not be held over anyone’s head with unreasonable prices, false narratives, and limited access to knowledge and practice, period.
