"Pure food is good medicine"

Hi, my name is Sohei. Today, I am joining to this blog to introduce you to some of our people, food and events at Shojin restaurant.

I have been supporting Shojin even before opening the restaurant. When I met Mr. Morishima, owner of Shojin, I was so excited with what Shojin was going to do for this community.

Everyday, Everyyear, people in U.S. are getting more deseases over years according to "The hundred-year lie" by Randall Fitzgerald

• Our cancer mortality rate has gone from 3% of all deaths to 20% of all deaths in past 100 years.
• Our incidence of diabetes went from 0.1% of the population to almost 20% in past 100 years.
• Heart disease went from being almost nonexistent to killing more than seven hundred thousand people a year.
  
• The incidence of death from brain diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and motor neuron disorders, was found to have tripled in nine Western countries during the period of 1974 to 1997.
• The incidence of death from brain diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and motor neuron disorders, was found to have tripled in nine Western countries during the period of 1974 to 1997.
• Studies show that 12% of American couples are unable to conceive
• Over the past decade we have been seeing younger and younger people with brain cancers and leukemia. There is no question that exposure to synthetic chemicals is the core reason for this increase in catastrophic illnesses.

We are pulluting our physical bodies with all chemicals in everyday products like chemical food additives to taste and look better, meat hormones and pesticide to grow animals and crops more efficiently.

At Shojin, we believe pure food is good medicine.

A 2001 issue of the Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients: “Whole food, grown on organic, nutrient-rich and chemical-free soil in a clean environment, provides the body with a synergistic array of thousands of know and unknown antioxidants, nutrients, and powerful nutraceutical compounds”

Yes, we want to offer the best and healtiest meals by using best ingredients we can find with no artificial food addtives. We make every effort, every day, for a smile that comes with achievement of a healthy and happy life.

At Shojin blog, I want to learn and discuss what Shojin is and share your comments.
