wow. this is crazy. i'm glad the EPA is actually trying to enforce laws they are supposed to enforce, but they should not be doing this.

they should have the freedom to be wrong -- their criticism of cap and trade and acid rain program, that redux were achieved by fuel switching, misses the point. C&T works because it doesn't say how to achieve reductions, only that reductions must be achieved. close the loopholes, like get rid of the turd-polishing CCS 'clean coal' -- don't subsidize dirty energy to the disadvantage of clean energy.

Raw , unpasteurized - it's still from a different species of animal, not even a primate, and humans outgrow their need for milk when weaned from their mothers. A great percentage of adults are lactose intolerant, too. Countires with the least amount of dairy in their diets have lower rates of osteoporosis, lower rates of breast cancer, and so on. Cow's milk is for calves.

Not that I'm interested, but if a fella, say, wanted to score a little raw cream without drawing attention, how would he go about it?

Tom, I thought you might find this interesting. American Farm Bureau Federation $1.5 million grant from USDA.

Reaction to Vilsack's nomination from agricultural groups was largely positive and included "endorsements" from the Corn Refiners Association, the National Grain and Feed Association, the National Farmers Union, the American Farm Bureau Federation, and the Environmental Defense Fund. ... Read More

Opposition to the nomination came from the Organic Consumers Association.

I keep my friends close and my enemies closer. I am a 'fan' of most of the opposition groups to pesticide reform. I watch the American Farm Bureau Federation and others very closely. I've been able to weed out the rats much easier this way. :)

Notice everything listed in this!!

He must be teaching people about the problems of meat. Right?
I mean, I love what Gore's done, how many he's reached, I give props, totally! I just can't get over how long it's taken to point out what our consumption of meat does. (I also wish he'd at least *mention how fast our population has quadrupled and the effect it has on other animals.)

He does acknowledge the impact of industrial meat on greenhouse gas emissions. Ecorazzi has more on it here: http://www.ecorazzi.com/2009/11/04/al-gore-agrees-that-going-vegetarian-helps-the-environment/

I'm so relieved! Thanks for explaining.
