But my “green roots” run deep…you see, when I was a young boy, my parents came up with a unique way to keep their four competitive and territorial offspring from fighting (mostly anyway): by color-coding us. That’s right, from blanket to pacifier, toothbrush to drinking glass, I was—you guessed it—green.

Well, it was no great surprise when I began a life-long fascination with all things green. But nothing in my previous state of living green prepared me for what I discovered about green FOOD, which is that green plants or “green foods” have the ability to initiate health and healing in both the earth’s ecology and in the human body, and may be the closest thing to a panacea for the diseases that afflict the human race. This is not due to a single miracle nutrient that wipes out disease, but due to green plants’ ability to balance and purify the body. This allows natural and innate healing to occur. The purpose of The Green Foods Bible is to illustrate how science has finally begun to validate and prove beyond question what my mentor, Ann Wigmore, the mother of wheatgrass, taught me years ago: that green is the color of life and healing.
