“Food preparation is a sacred activity. If you could see the sparks of light going forth from the fingertips when cooking, and the energy that goes into the food you handle, you would realize how much of you imbues into the meals that you prepare for family and friends.”
– Sally Fallon Morell

Capital and Ideology (audio book)


“Every human society must justify its inequalities: unless reasons for them are found, the whole political and social edifice stands in danger of collapse. Every epoch therefore develops a range of contradictory discourses and ideologies for the purpose of legitimizing the inequality that already exists or that people believe should exist. From these discourses emerge certain economic, social, and political rules, which people then use to make sense of the ambient social structure. Out of the clash of contradictory discourses—a clash that is at once economic, social, and political—comes a dominant narrative or narratives, which bolster the existing inequality regime.”
– Thomas Piketty

A LIGHT ON THE PATH TO INNER WISDOM PART 10


Genuine Oatcakes were born of a passion, some three decades of research & development, a strong desire to create something truly magnificent — from the finest locally-sourced ingredients — and a belief that people are naturally able to respond to goodness.

360,000 oatcakes (and six years) later we’ve certainly established a loyal following — for the genuine taste, yes — and also for the authenticity. People sense there’s an honesty here and they perceive real value in a simple food that delights is also life sustaining.

During the current upheaval a lot of attention focuses on health and healing. At least one Tibetan teacher we’ve been following suggests it might be possible to include healing energy in prepared foods. I’ve no idea if this is actually possible, and yet it does seem to be a good idea to hold this ideal as a disciplined intention while making and baking! — Ken, September 2020

In 2020, Genuine Oatcakes have donated surplus packages to Out of the Cold Halifax shelters:
Adsum House; Barry House; Metro Turning Point,
the Parker Street Food Bank, and Ummah Masjid Food Bank.

Ovid (43 BC – 18 AD)
Metamorphoses (audio book)


Highly recommend "Ovid for the COVID."" Civilization is definitely going through substantial changes in 2020, casing aside what's not working very well, and setting a new sustainable course recognising our interdependance with all living things. Metamorphoses (15 Books) from 8 AD, are also called "Books of Transformations." Definitely puts todays news in historical context — as does Eisenstein's The Coronation — a vast comprehensive perspective on the current pandemic and what it means for the future of humankind.

Sadness, Love, Openness: The Buddhist Path of Joy
Audio Book narrated by Richard Gere


"The Buddha spoke of a future dark age when the elements of nature become imbalanced and cause great harm. New diseases will appear, new types of weapons will be invented and so on. The Buddha also described the dark age as a time when all that is natural and authentic looses importance and instead people worship what is artificial and false. This applies to people as well as to things...

(Today) People aren't interested in the real thing. But if we can come up with something that seems like the real deal then it's popular right away. The same goes for the food we eat. People rarely appreciate genuine natural ingredients. We prefer products that are processed, artificial and most important cheap. Everywhere we're surrounded by products that are artificial and cheap while the genuine, uncontaminated and authentic is becoming rare. We live in the twenty-first century and we like to think of ourselves as modern, sophisticated and civilized. But honestly what kind of civilization pays tribute to things that are fake, cheap and contaminated?"

News update:
Today we've passed 350,000 oatcakes baked!
Nova Scotia has declared a state of emergency and we are all in COVID-19 lockdown.
It's a great time to practice meditation and reflect, clean up the pantry and enjoy an oatcake retreat.
We're baking and self-isolating and still taking orders. It's amazing they just keep coming in!
All surfaces in the kitchen are cleaned with food grade hydrogen peroxide, and of course we are taking extra care with everything.

Call 902.444-4218 or email tlc@genuineoatcakes.com for more information.
Thank you!

Responding to a KiloCan order — Can I ask how you heard about us?

“Uniquely as, we saw it on the Lion’s Roar Foundation, thought it was cool that someone offered oat cakes, (Love them, can’t even find Nairn’s anymore….) saw that you’re from Nova Scotia, and our neighbors from Nova Scotia send Massachusetts/Boston a Christmas/Holiday tree every year, which is really cool, love oatcakes, and people from Nova Scotia are cool, and it’s way cool you mention what podcasts you listened to as you make oatcakes…..and people who listen to the dharma are cool, and hey, the planets aligned perfectly!”
