Me too I drink raw milk, and so does my 2 year old. She's never had any of the other stuff. There are so many initiatives now, find out about your area, it's so totally worth it!

Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome? Thanks Cargill. This is why I choose to know the source of my meats. Cheap food isn't cheap and buying and eating it puts us at risk (either chronically or acutely) and continues to support a problematic system. It comes down to our choice. Good start by the Times but I'd like to see the...m go further and question why so much E. coli O157:H7 is entering our processing facilities. The grinder isn't the problem. The feedlot is the problem. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/04/health/04meat.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1&sq=ecoli&st=cse&scp=1Read More

Stephanie Smith, 22, was left paralyzed in 2007 after eating a burger tainted by E. coli. Tracing her burger shows why eating ground beef is still a gamble.

I buy all my meat from a local farmer, but I am NOT going to eat hamburger again. I have known that the meat is all the scraps that have been on the floor and everything else but I still eat it. Have your top sirloin steak you bought from the farmer ground up by a butcher!

We Are What We Eat My cowboy hat is off to the USDA and Susan Duckett of Clemson University for this very encouraging study that shows Grass-Finished Beef is much healthier than the dominant Grain Finished alternative. Can't wait til they do the study that shows the same thing for milk and how much better it is for the land when done well. Go get your grass-fed beef and dairy on!

What is your research on cow's milk John?

Robin Kenyon Ricca
Robin Kenyon Ricca
John, I don't need to use myself as anecdotal evidence. Now, I suggest you do YOUR research. Sheep, goats, and cows are all ruminants. What is that, you may ask? They have more than one stomach so that they may digest the grasses and whatnot that they consume. These animals have been under our protection for at least eight THOUSAND years (most ... Read Morelikely alot longer than that). Our digestive systems have been happily acommodating the milk from their udders for just as long. Need proof? Read a good history book that talks about the intricate connection between lacto-fermented foods and societies that utilizes sheep, goats, and cows as their sources of milk.

So, I suggest, as the owner of this group has suggested, you back up your accusations with some facts, rather than obtuse rantings. Thanks!

We Are What We Eat The last year of playing in the food wholesale/distribution madness has at times made me shiver more than the agricultural side of the problem. Watch this great clip from Al Jazeera and Link about how much of the food in grocery stores ends up not in food banks, not in compost piles but in the trash.

The U.S. is a land of plenty. It is one of the world's major producers of food. But every year tons of food are wasted, thrown away before it ever reaches the dinner table.

They had an article not too long ago in the OC Register about people who go dumpster diving for food. A lot of them stated a good amount of the food was still good. I think the SF Chronicle had an article about a dumpster diving club about a year or so ago.
