I've written about this awesome campaign before. The hilarious 2nd installmentof The Meatrix has now been release. If you want to see them in order though, here's the links.. The Meatrix and The Meatrix 2: Revolting
Many indigenous people of the world eat insects as their best source of fat soluble vitamins, minerals and to a lesser degree, protein. While we may be a little too squeamish for this, we can always eat the insects of the sea, prawns. Prawns contain more Vitamin D than liver, protecting us against skeletal ailments such as osteoporosis and other disease states associated with Vitamin D deficiency like MS or Colon Cancer. MORE...
Mostly we have to read minor publications or visit specific sites to get this kind of information. Is this article a step toward more mainstream media taking up the issue of wide scale health damage caused by immunisation? MORE...
One of the attractions of exploring the Weston A. Price nutritional principles is the happy frenzy of touting butter’s benefits to friends and family. There is a real joy in sharing kefir cultures, sauerkraut tricks and new soup recipes. Introducing loved ones to the idea that they (and their trusted doctors) have been duped by industry is a decidedly less agreeable aspect of our expanding awareness. MORE...
Byronchild magazine presents an Australian screening of The Future of Food, a brilliant must-see documentary which examines the complex web of market and political forces that are changing what we eat, on March 29th in Byron Bay, NSW. The film, produced by Deborah Koons Garcia, is a chilling investigation into ... MORE...
March 7, the "Union of Concerned Scientists released the first comprehensive study that confirms that beef and milk from animals raised entirely on pasture have higher levels than conventionally raised beef and dairy cattle of beneficial fats that may prevent heart disease and strengthen the immune system." Weston Price was warning the department of US Agriculture about factory farming long ago. In the 1940s he wrote prolifically about the value of eating fat from grass fed animals. His works disappeared from public view quickly because the greed of certain agribusiness conglomerates called for other recommendations be made to the American public. Non foods such as vegetable shortening and margarine began to be included in their diets in the guise of prudent nutrition, to avoid heart disease: the fastest growing disease at the time. Did it work? No, heart disease is still one of the biggest killers in the Western World. MORE...
I'm lovin' it The week brought great news for fans of real food: falling sales have forced the closure of 25 UK McDonald's branches. Could this be a tipping point?

You don't need Kefired milk for this recipe if you drink raw milk. When your raw milk starts to get a little on the sour side, don't throw it out, leave it out on the bench. It will turn into cheese and whey. Strain it with cheese cloth or a clean tea towel and strainer and use the cheese for this recipe or Sally Fallon's all raw cheese cake and the whey to ferment vegetables or just to drink for its beneficial bacteria.

The star at last week's Philadelphia Auto Show wasn't a sports car or an economy car. It was a sports-economy car - one that combines performance and practicality under one hood. But as CBS News correspondent Steve Hartman reports in this week's Assignment America, the car that buyers have been waiting decades comes from an unexpected source and runs on soybean bio-diesel fuel to boot. A car that can go from zero to 60 in four seconds and get more than 50 miles to the gallon would be enough to pique any driver's interest. So who do we have to thank for it. Ford? GM? Toyota? No - just Victor, David, Cheeseborough, Bruce, and Kosi, five kids from the auto shop program at West Philadelphia High School. MORE...
