They also wrote that Craig was going to Voss to find his ancestral farm, which belonged to the Dugstad family. I wrote back that they were very welcome and that I was in love with Olav Dugstad! 😃 Talk about coincidences! So they looked for Dugstad, found me first and found Dugstad through me, fantastic! 🥹
Craig has lived a brave and tough life, where he has always dared and challenged, and then he has made choices based on what he knew and what knowledge showed was right for him. When he was dying of dysentery and hepatitis C on the streets of India in the 1960s, and thought he would end up floating down the Ganges with other dead, he miraculously made it to Afghanistan where he received health care with herbs and plants 🌿💚 He also came into contact with the macrobiotic diet, which made him completely healthy.
That made him change his life course, and he started the first macrobiotic restaurant in England, with his mother and brother, and even John Lennon hung out there. 👉 He has talked incessantly for many decades that the world must wake up, that pesticides must be stopped, that agriculture must change, that people must shop and eat organically, that we must learn from ancient customs such as biochar used by Native Americans to improve the soil, and that we must stop exploiting the soil and people in search of profit. It pays more to take care of people, soil, plants and the planet. He has spoken against headwinds and against opposing forces everywhere, for over 60 years now. And only in recent years has biochar become something that many people have heard about, now more people realize that chocolate production that is not organic is extremely harmful and actually affects us all the way here in the north, also with pesticides in the air that come wafting from plantations in Central America and other places. Craig's involvement even led to him creating this song "Eat Organic" which is available on Spotify.
