Notes from Dr. Borkosky

You have worked with young people with Youth For Environmental Sanity all over the world. Caryn Hartglass: I do want to get to the Food Revolution Network but you mention your children and I do know that a lot of people with autistic children really have challenges with food and how the kids really don’t want to eat healthfully. This is due to the fact that his father – Robbins’ grandfather – founded the American ice cream chain Baskin-Robbins.

And I think that as we do so, we become more happy or we actually become more healthy and we certainly become more connected and feel less lonesome. So one of the things … You talked about feeling like you were rich when you were young where you really didn’t have any financial assets or means. There are a number of people that are inflicted with some of that or a piece of that and I guess it’s all a part of growing up. With all of the wonderful things that you’ve done and even if you didn’t do any more wonderful things, you’re a wonderful person. His father, John, grew up with an ice cream cone-shaped swimming pool and 31 flavors of dairy ice cream in the freezer. We call our summit the Food Revolution Summit because I actually think it’s kind of revolutionary in a context where the norm is making us so sick and is so destructive to our environment and to our ethics as human beings. And the other thing I was struck by at our last summit is that this is an opportunity that’s available to everybody. He wanted to contribute to building a more ethical, compassionate, healthy, beautiful world and so that is the model that I follow more than any particular philosophy. Ocean Robbins: And I always thought that was really sweet and I also didn’t have to put his theory to the test because I wasn’t autistic. Join Facebook to connect with Phoenix Robbins and others you may know. What’s really funny, Caryn, I feel like, from my early childhood I had people telling me I was going to save the world someday and that creates its own kind of challenge because I have this sense of pressure inwardly that I should accomplish huge things and be huge things, and there’s a kind of perfectionism that can come with that. We’re seeing that the impact of industrialized agro-business is sending out ripples all over the planet: it’s impacting farmers in India; it’s impacting the tropical rainforests; it’s impacting our carbon output and our climate, and of course, it’s impacting our health. Eating a lot of factory farm animal products and basing our diets around that is clearly bad for us.

Caryn Hartglass: Sounds pretty good. But the core purpose to contribute in some meaningful way to making a more beautiful and vibrant world has guided his life almost from the beginning. So quite a collection of folks; that’s only the tip of the iceberg, to be honest.

But really, we are very much a product of our conditioning and our habits. If happiness is a product of some combination of what happens to us and the choices we make then I always say most of us spend more of our time bitching and complaining and groaning and grumbling about all of the things that happen to us, and that actually robs us of our capacity to do the best we can before we actually have power, which is in the choices we make and how we respond to life.

And there are so many things, of course, that are connected to our food, our food choices, health, environment, and animals.
