Long Live the Environment! "Many folks may be generally opposed to labels, or don’t want to be associated with a movement. Some people may think environmentalists have to be activists — perhaps they only regard environmentalists as those who chain themselves to trees or take other controversial actions. The word “environmentalist” no longer simply means someone who cares about the environment. Sadly, the label now comes with assumptions..." Read More...

York Times concerning sugar and a recent appearance
on an ABC News special with Peter Jennings discussing
obesity, Marion's views have been center stage in
the national discussion on food, nutrition and food
safety. With this recent media exposure, we thought
this would be a perfect moment to see what was percolating

Holstein Dairy Cows and the Inefficient Efficiencies
of Modern Farming NEW YORK TIMES
January 5, 2004 -- After poultry and pigs, the dairy

they are milked automatically, in some cases on huge
rotating platforms that look like something out of
science fiction. - Read
