Grocery insurance

I lost count of the the number of times I seen the quote, often in nicely framed poster at the alternative medicine offices or hippie grocery stores, making a case that we should let food be our medicine. What I haven't lost is the memory of how reputable people in high position have continued to push this message with a particular angle that could be or should I say has been detremental to our health. This narrative has the ability to blur lines that should be distinctly different and clear as the contrast between day and night.

When I was growing up in the 70s and 80s, it would have been practically impossible for someone to convince me, and pretty much the whole village, that there was a romantic relationship of sort between food and medicine. Food was life and fun. Medicine was pain, pricey at best and likely to lead to postmortem at worst. But for those who are heavily endowed with the timeless wisdom that makes us thinking and philosophical beings, food and medicine have to be the ultimate magic. In fact, our history is replete with stories of food, medicine and magic. Just as often and probably more significant, food and magic are also connected to our downfall and sin.

I was already familiar with the biblical narative about how eating of the three sins. First, the story of Eve and the eating of an Apple is a rather weird coincidence. The same apple that lead to the man is now the symbol of health that is recommended daily as a solution to regular doctor's visits. Talk about irony. The doctors must have had little to do with religion. That is assuming that they came up with the story.

The second sin in the story of Eve was that of collective punishment. Though Adam loved Eve so much and probably just wanted to make her happy, eating bad for for love, fear or ignorance is nor forgiven. Adam was equally punished for Slaying of Eve.

The third sin was the connection between food and geography. When Adam asked where he was, he replied by replying that he was naked. So eating the wrong can result to geographical malfunction.

But is my secular interpretation of a popular story.

Why do people still eat bad food even in the post-Eve erra.

Chef Kabui

The Hex Kitchen is a collaboration between Chef Kabui and the Hex community in a bid to promote food literacy, mindful eating and wealth creation. There is a natural connection between those who are fighting against fiat currency and those engaged in the struggle against fiat food. The two social ills of fiat currency and fiat food are at the heart of the tyrannic global world system we are now living in. That tyranny is directly connected to the climate crisis we face and there is no way we can solve one part of the problem without being mindful of the whole system, For a start, the Hex Kitchen is keen on addressing the issues of real money and real food as a basis on regaining our sovereign power. It is no accident that the struggle for food justice would find allies in cryptography and more specifically cryptocurrency. It is not a usual collaboration but yet it is one that makes sense on many levels. Chef Kabui has been studying and applying the power of food literacy, mindful eating and food justice in the struggle against oppression in general and specifically to people of African descent.

Chef Kabui has studied the disciplines of politics, anthropology and culinary arts and has designed a cuisine or rather an approach to food that is informed by the above experience and the indigenous knowledge that he gained from his Kenyan family’s history as sustainable farmers for generations. The combined experience and education resulted in the creation of a cuisine called Afro Futuristic Conscious Cuisine. It is a combination of the most sustainable practices in the growing, preparation of food with the goal of causing the least damage to the environment and maximizing the health benefits of the food. Those two conditions are necessary for a mindful community that ensures that justice thrives.

Chef Kabui has been pushing organic food and healthy eating based on his research and his own experience. The idea of healthy food and justice is not something that chef Kabui got into but was born in it. His family operated a farm and his father ran a restaurant in the capital city of Nairobi. Kabui grew up in the village with his mother where they grew almost all the food they consumed. It was at his family farm that he Kabui developed a love for fresh food and the art of consuming food following the natural cycles of seasons.

The collaboration aims to share the skills for healthy food to the Hex community and beyond. No community can survive without food and the Hex community is no different. The Hex Kitchen is another assembly point for the community to be nourished both physically and socially. While wealth is private, food is social and having a kitchen for the community to assemble is a great option for a community that is causing ripples across the world.

What to Expect
