For years I've thought these advertisements were absurd, now there is review from U of North Carolina that helps to confirm what we all probably suspected about dairy and weight loss. Too bad that the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine was part of the research (they have a very specific anti-dairy, vegetarian agenda. Anyway, read more about it below:
"There have been recent claims that dairy products can help people lose weight, and the dairy industry has hyped the assertion by investing millions of dollars in commercial advertising. However, a new review of the evidence published in the journal Nutrition Reviews reveals that neither dairy nor calcium intake promotes weight loss. |

I am currently shopping around for a new car. Of course, I am taking into consideration the many realities of our economy, and looking for a vehicle that consumes as little gas as possible. I set my sights on a Scion TC and was enthused to find an advertisement for a 2007 model with only four thousand miles on it… better still… it was within my price range. Could it be - an almost new car for just about $10,000? |

 We have a guest blogger today, Shannon Hayes, a sustainable farmer in Upstate New York, who I wrote about a couple weeks back in my post entitled "Grass-Fed Meat." Shannon has a wealth of information on today's food issues and I thought you all might enjoy what she has to say about global warming, eating meat and the importance of the local farm movement. I hope you find it has informative and timely as I did.

 Corn: it makes us fat, makes our cows sick, degrades our land and now it is causing a food crisis. How can one crop cause both obesity and starvation? Can a plant be evil?
Well, as we all know, and I as I wrote about in my " King Corn" post, corn is the basic building block of most of our food. But with mountains of corn, all that processed food and high fructose corn syrup, how can there be global a food crisis? Think about this, there are people RIOTING in the streets because there is not enough food to eat!
