Hi Frieda,

The purpose of the Party is not to push overeating. Real natural Durian is
so missing on the daily table of most raw food eaters, since we have the
opportunity to import it, we would like to share it without limitation.

Unfortunately, most Durian available in the US is frozen during shipment
because of the smell. It is the airline company's regulations. We seal it
into special boxes so they accept it without freezing.
There is a huge difference in taste between frozen and unfrozen Durian.

When the body really needs greens they can become almost as delicious as
fruits.

Mothers can "pre-chew" the baby's food product like it is the case among
many species

Most of them are in Germany, France and Italy. There has been no
infrastructure in the US for Instinctive Nutrition so far. We are slowly
trying to built one.

Food supply is one of the biggest problem in the US. Food processing is
almost everywhere and is often hidden. Nuts in health food store are always
dried at high temperature or frozen to kill insects eggs, that is why people
get addicted to them.
Buy directly from producers is the best solution.
