The Weston A. Price Foundation (WAPF) is a nonprofit organization founded in 1999 by Sally Fallon Morell and Mary G. Enig. The foundation is named after Weston A. Price, a dentist known for his theories on the relationship between nutrition, dental health, and physical health. The WAPF promotes the consumption of whole foods, raw milk, and traditional diets.
Mission and Goals[edit | edit source]
The mission of the Weston A. Price Foundation is to restore nutrient-dense foods to the human diet through education, research, and activism. The foundation advocates for a return to traditional diets that include animal fats, organ meats, and fermented foods. It also supports the consumption of raw milk and opposes the use of soy products and vegetable oils.
Activities[edit | edit source]
The WAPF engages in various activities to promote its mission, including:
- Publishing a quarterly journal, Wise Traditions in Food, Farming, and the Healing Arts
- Hosting annual conferences and local chapter meetings
- Providing educational materials and resources on nutrition and health
- Supporting research on the benefits of traditional diets
- Advocating for food policy changes that support nutrient-dense foods
Controversies[edit | edit source]
The foundation has been involved in several controversies, particularly regarding its stance on raw milk and vaccination. Critics argue that the WAPF's promotion of raw milk can pose health risks due to potential pathogens. The foundation's position on vaccination has also been criticized by public health officials.
