California Walnut Orchard Visit 2011
Here's our group picture during our 2011 California Walnut Harvest Event.
Below you'll also find videos of the Orchard Owners describing the Walnut Harvest and Walnut Shaker Vehicle, along with more photos from the event.
After this Tour I appreciate even more both the Walnuts and the hard work the Orchard Farmers do. Also note the heart-shaped Walnut. (It's an interesting coincidence that Walnuts are also heart-healthy).
During this Visit, I asked Dr. Roizen why there are more folks allergic to Peanuts vs Walnuts, and he mentioned that when people are exposed to hydrogenated oils such as in many peanut butters, more people seem to have allergies to peanuts.
Basically eat closer to the whole food - Good Lesson.

Dr. Roizen, Institute Chair, Chief Wellness Officer
Wellness Institute Cleveland Clinic
founder of eleven companies, co-inventer of a drug recently approved by the FDA, and author of a series of highly popular #1 New York Times bestsellers, recently visited Napa, California to celebrate the California Walnut Harvest Festival and spoke on a variety of topics including US Health, Disease Reversal, Genes, and how the increase in chronic US Disease is affecting US Economic Competitiveness/ Jobs.
I videotaped Dr Roizen's complete presentation, and a portion of it is below for reference. Please note that since the presentation took place in the evening at a winery, the video is dark, but you can hear Dr. Roizen's important insights. 
I've covered Dr Oz and Dr Roizen's great work before with
Rocco the Cowboy Story and VideoDr. Roizen was the 'Enforcer' and ensured Rocco ate healthfully and exercised regularly, and as a result, Rocco's heart disease was reversed by going Vegan.
Dr Roizen also states in the video that you affect genes and cancer by your food choices and the importance of meditation.
He also mentions the importance of Lifestyle Treatment for Breast and Prostate Cancer, and Studies show that Food Changes, Walking, Tobacco Avoidance, and Mediation reduced tumor size.
I also spoke with Dr Roizen and shared Gratitude Gourmet's mission, and he responded by saying that at the Cleveland Clinic it's impossible to find a piece of red meat.
Stay tuned for more videos and news from this event.
