Eat Raw Cheese, Scale High Peaks

This young man is eating local cheese made from raw milk at about 7,500 feet above sea level in the Swiss Alps.

It is foods like this, whole, fresh, and local, that give him the strength to scale these mountains. It's too bad that so many people are being fed a diet deficient in so many vital nutrients by the modern food industry.

The result is a creeping epidemic of sickness, not to mention flabbiness, that precludes so many young people from even imagining climbing this mountain and enjoying a sun-splashed picnic.

It should be noted that the photographer, more than twice the age of his subject, has a similar diet, and thus was able to match him step for step on this climb.

It should also be noted that the yogis tell us that middle age - the summertime of life - only begins at 55. Eating the right foods turns such possibility into reality.
