About Real Food

a Cosmic Enterprises production

  • We Have to Eat, So We Might as Well Make the Best of It.

    Get informed about the state of our food culture, learn about what others are doing to not participate in the industrial food system, find and contribute whole food recipes. The intention is to develop a picture of where we are in the American food culture, what some of the pressing issues might be, and how we might better serve ourselves, our families, and communities by increasing our awareness of the forces and conditions affecting our food supply. You will also find recipes at this site which represent meals cooked with whole foods, that is, without processed and industrial ingredients. It is also my intention to present alternatives to the present industrial food system that are rooted in sustainability, organic methods, and permaculture.

Fueled by the belief that “another world is possible,” Fierce Light is a compelling, global journey into the world of spirit in action, an exploration of what Martin Luther King called “Love in Action,” and Gandhi called “Soul Force”; what Ripper is calling “Fierce Light.”  More…
