REDUCTIONISM AND ABSOLUTISM
 KOSHER COCA-COLA

Why is this Coke different from all other Cokes?

It's kosher for Passover.

And even non-Jews are thirsty for the limited batch of Coca-Cola because of a very special ingredient
- it's made with pure sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup.

THE SEVEN STAGES OF DISEASE
(UPPER RIGHT)
The Seven Stages of Disease formulated by Dr. John Tilden more than 100
years ago gives us another perspective in how to understand the
degenerative process of disease and how to reverse the process. “Health is
what you consistently do,” and the same can be said of ill health. Disease is
an acquired state that is earned over the years with identifiable stages that
lead to the manifestation of symptoms, and even death, if we are not prudent
enough to reverse the disease process and go backward through the Seven
Stages.

1. Enervation (Stagnation)
2. Toxemia (Endogenous and Exogenous Toxins)
3. Irritation (From toxins building up)
4. Inflammation (Pain from too much irritation)
5. Ulceration (Such as diabetic foot ulcers)
6. Induration (Advanced thickening of tissue)
7. Fungation (Cancer)

 THE BASIC MORAL INTUITION: DEPTH AND SPAN
“To protect and promote the greatest depth for the greatest span.”

Depth refers to level of development - a baboon is deeper than a ladybug, which is

deeper than an amoeba.

Span refers to the number of beings affected, regardless of their level of

development - as in the utilitarian principle of “the greatest good for the greatest
number. This is egalitarian, but does not consider the crucial dimension of depth.

Integral Ethics combines egalitarianism with due regard for development.

Thus, an Integral approach to eating is a way of eating that contributes to the

healthiest, deepest food for the greatest span, which includes all species, not just
human beings.
HEALTHY GLOBAL NUTRITIONAL DEVELOPMENT
If the earth’s population were a
village of 100 people:

57 Asians
21 Europeans
14 North & South Americans
8 Africans

30 White
70 Non-White

6 people would possess 59% of

the world’s wealth - all 6 from
U.S.

80 would live in substandard

housing
70 would be unable to read
50 would suffer from malnutrition
1 would have a college education
1 would own a computer
