Spaghetti: a simple Italian-American staple. Also, probably the first image that comes to your mind when you hear ?Italian food.? For some, pasta and spicy meatballs may be the extent of their knowledge of cuisine from the Mediterranean nation. Frankly, it?s easy to oversimplify traditional courses when you?re in the melting pot of the world. But what then is authentic Italian food?

For starters, Italians don?t eat pasta all day. No spaghetti in the cereal bowl, thank you. Breakfast is typically a cold meal; most start out with espresso and a pastry, both available from eateries at the local piazza, a square that functions as the social center for the entire town. Espresso, as you will find, is actually a vital part of the Italian way of life. It can be quite bitter, so traditionally a little bit of chocolate is used as a complement.

After this light meal, Italians are ready for something more substantial. Lunch is usually warm and can consist of two or three courses along with wine. It?s a crime to drink water while you are eating Italian food, so you should drink at least a glass of wine. This is an eating culture, so lunch is not hurried as in other places. People take their time, enjoy the food and talk to each other. In America, it?s the opposite: you have a warm breakfast like eggs, sausages and a very fast lunch, usually cold, like a sandwich or salad.

Dinner is the grand finale, with varieties of courses and dishes intermingling to create the perfect meal. There are, however, two key elements that set authentic Italian apart from imitators: its freshness and its simplicity. That?s the difference between a meal that is merely so-so and wonderful. You could have the same pasta dish, but it would be the fresh tomatoes that make the experience wonderful. Fresh means not frozen, canned or jarred in any way; just picked fresh from the market.

This offers a full sensory experience. Even when the ingredients are combined, you can taste each element. You can taste the tomato. You can taste the olive oil. You can taste the basil. When you eat it, it?s all very genuine, not sauce that has been boiled and had many items added to it over the hours to take away the acidity. Canned sauces tend to contain a lot of sugar which make the meal solid and heavy. Instead, you can feel satisfied when you?ve had something fresh and know exactly what you?ve eaten, without feeling overfull. The Italian likes to taste each element, not cover it up. That?s the art in Italian cooking. A good Italian chef can put together five or six ingredients and you really appreciate the fact that you can taste each of them.

You might think that taking a quick swig of water out of a portable drinking station is OK to do, but what you don’t really know about the water may harm you.

Have you heard of the Acai Berry? It’s a nutritional beverage we are taking to market or word of mouth. People with health issues or low energy levels are experiencing tremendous results. They are also paying people substantial amounts of money to share it with others. Does it sound like something you would like to hear about?

Monavie is a juice that blends 19 fruits together. The fruits are – Acai, Apricot, Aronia, Acerola, Purple Grape, Passion Fruit, Camu Camu, Banana, Lychee Fruit, Nashi Pear, Kiwi, Pomegranate, Prune, Wolfberry, Pear, Bilberry, Cranberry, Blueberry and White Grape. Monavie juices are sold through a multi level marketing (MLM) system – also known as network marketing or referral marketing. Customers who use Monavie are encouraged to become Independent Distributors of the Monavie products. Distributors try to bring in more distributors and get a percentage of every sale made by distributors in their line (upline). MLM has been around for a long time and products such as Amway and Herbal Life are well known examples of successful multi-level-marketing plans. Applaud Mona Vie for bringing attention to the health benefits of the Acai berry. We also think that any juice made from a blend of healthy fruits is much better than alcohol, high fructose corn syrup soda and sugar filled juices most of the population is drinking now. One Bottle of Mona Vie or Energy Drink will be shipped to your address at no charge when you enroll. Enrollment is free!

This offer is solely from independent distributor Kevin Winfrey Curtis only and in no way represents or is intended to circumvent any policies from the Corporate Mona Vie offices. We have no problem with a company using MLM to promote their product. If people are out there selling your product because they believe in it – that is great. The problem comes when people are just selling the idea of making money! Again, this gets complicated and we are not lawyers but, for a MLM program to be legitimate the majority of your sales should be to end users. If distributors are just trying to recruit distributors who will just recruit more distributors – this becomes an illegal pyramid in the eyes of the FTC. Media Reports

MonaVie is pleased to announce that we are currently moving forward with plans to launch business opportunities in Poland, Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, during the first half of September. Upon official launch in September, distributors in each country will be able to: * Hold open meetings and conduct other marketing activities according to Policies and Procedures * Sign up preferred customers * Order product through the Virtual Office and Distributor Support * Have product shipped directly to your home

Besides opening three new markets in Europe, MonaVie is pleased to announce that we are currently moving forward with plans to launch business opportunities in Malaysia before the end of year.

While we are extremely excited about the calendar before us and how our international growth can help your business, MonaVie has no set schedule to open any new markets beyond the three in Europe (Poland, Netherlands, and U.K.) and the one in Malaysia. Please know that our strategic plans for other country openings are in different stages of development and are constantly being refined to ensure we open each new market in the right manner and at the right time. For instance, Hong Kong has been removed from our present development plans in order to gather additional information that will lead to a long-term business strategy for the entire Greater China region. As a matter of new policy, MonaVie will not announce future country developments until we are two or three months away from the launch date.

Thank you for helping our company and premier products gain recognition around the globe. As a result, MonaVie is expecting unprecedented international growth in the coming years.

At MonaVie, we would like to remind you that it is against pre-market policy to engage in any business activity, including the enrolling of prospective distributors, in countries that are not yet authorized.

Of the four countries listed above, pre-market activity is authorized in Poland, Netherlands, and in the U.K. immediately. Other than in our opened markets, and as explained here, no other pre-market activity is authorized. Non-compliance to this policy may result in penalties up to and including termination of your distributorship. Approved pre-market activity in these European countries includes the ability to hold meetings and enrolling prospects. Advertising and websites are prohibited.

Additionally, distributors looking to gain an unfair advantage by enrolling under a false address create an illegal distributorship that will not be recognized by MonaVie. Please note that MonaVie will not change addresses on illegal distributor accounts when pre-market enrollments become authorized or when a country officially opens.

For those who enrolled correctly, with a legitimate address and a national identification number, during the authorized pre-enrollment period, MonaVie welcomes you and promises that you will be able to engage in business opportunities once a new country is launched without penalty.

Your dedication and discipline to these guidelines is vital to securing a successful future for MonaVie’s international growth. In addition, compliance to our Policies and Procedures provides evidence to various foreign governments that MonaVie is interested in building a legal, sustainable, and long-term business within their respective borders, while abiding by local laws and regulations. We encourage you to enroll distributors only in our current open markets: U.S., Canada, Japan, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Mexico, and Israel.

In the meantime, MonaVie recognizes and is grateful for the strong connections that you are creating across the globe. We want you to continue to foster enthusiasm about our premier products and future international opportunities through relationship building. We want you to “Drink it, Feel it, and Share it”. May God, bless you, your family, and friends. By: Kevin Winfrey Curtis
