Joel Salatin, Beyond Organic : Local Foods to the Rescue
Join Transition Colorado for an evening with Joel Salatin, the world's most-recognized "beyond organic" and strictly local, clean food farmer, prolific author and inspiring speaker. Salatin, with his family owns Polyface Farm in Virginia, featured prominently in the NYT bestseller "Omnivore's Dilemma" and the Oscar-nominated documentary, "Food Inc.," as well as "Fresh: The Movie."
In this dynamic presentation, Joel will reveal the astonishingly obvious steps we all must take towards a food future that is beyond sustainable. If you are a farmer, understand your potential to renew and inspire your local community through clean food. If you live in town, discover the power you have to patronize your local farms and decouple them from wholly unfair corporate forces. Help your local farmers transform their farms into profitable and wholesome operations producing food you can trust. Become instrumental in the conscientious transformation of the current dysfunctional food production system to the regenerative model that Polyface Farm has proven wildly successful.
Ride the free HOP 2 Chautauqua shuttle to this event.

How many here think it's OK to take someone else's child to a pool? Say your babysitting, you have two kids and you watch two kids; it's hot and you decide to go to the pool at your apartments. Does anyone think this is wrong? Would you allow your child to go to the pool with your baby sitter? One mom told me she would swap three kids with another mom who had three kids.... they would have no reservations with each others children, they would go anywhere with 6 kids in tow.
Play dates around the world are happening every day. Mom's (and/or dads) get together while children get to play. The next time you go to a play date, look around you ... how many conversations are happening with eye to eye contact.
After my horrible tragedy, I learned of a term called surveillance. They teach life guards how to never make eye contact. There was a nanny I spoke to one, who was taught this very thing in nanny school.
The next time you are at a play date, please practice surveillance. Tell other mom's about surveillance.

I have seen this before ... my favorite brands are in here : ( " Here is a chart by Dr Philip Howard on the Organic Processing Industrial Structure, just in case you thought your favourite organic brand was safe from this restructuring. Probably the root of why it is getting difficult to get local food is increasing government regulation." I really like how eatkamloops.orgexplains the farming dilema in her blog of April 18, 2010

Campaign for Healthier Eating in America
The Campaign can end the genetic engineering of the food supply by creating a tipping point of consumer rejection of brands with GMOs. It already educates consumers about the health risks and provide clear non-GMO choices through GMO Health Risks brochures and printed Non-GMO Shopping Guides.

And if he is right and we do see another sizable pandemic –whether the virus is man-made or created by some natural, random reassortment of viral genes – my hope is that everyone will take a deep breath, exercise normal health precautions, increase their Vitamin D, A and E intake, get lots of extra sleep and remember the lessons from history so we do not repeat them.

Do I dare to eat a peach? Not a conventional one, says Tribune study
http://www.ethicurean.com/2009/08/13/tribune-peach-study/
Another day, another facet to the debate over whether organic produce is worth the extra moolah. Unless you’ve been living on a remote mountaintop with no wireless, you’ve probably witnessed the recent frenzy over a UK study [pdf] claiming that organic food has no nutritional benefits over conventional. The study elicited many insightful responses from organic defenders, including The Organic Center, and commentary from Grist and Civil Eats among others. Many cited studies countering the UK finding: Organic food has more antioxidants; organic food has fewer nitrates; organic production is more than just a little good for the environment in which we all live.
Enter yet another study boosting the argument in favor of buying organic — but also boosting the case for buying conventional produce from smaller local farms if you can’t find or can’t afford organic. (Though non-organic local food may not always be less expensive.)
Using preliminary data from USDA pesticide-residue tests conducted on produce last year, the Chicago Tribune found the residues of no fewer than fifty different pesticides gracing the skins of conventionally-grown peaches from domestic and foreign sources. Five of the poisonous compounds were present at levels higher than the EPA allows, ... go to link to read more

Children 'should sleep with parents until they're five'
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article1083020.ece
Margot Sunderland, director of education at the Centre for Child Mental Health in London, says the practice, known as “co-sleeping”, makes children more likely to grow up as calm, healthy adults.
Sunderland, author of 20 books, outlines her advice in The Science of Parenting, to be published later this month.
She is so sure of the findings in the new book, based on 800 scientific studies, that she is calling for health visitors to be issued with fact sheets to educate parents about co-sleeping.
“These studies should be widely disseminated to parents,” said Sunderland. “I am sympathetic to parenting gurus — why should they know the science? Ninety per cent of it is so new they bloody well need to know it now. There is absolutely no study saying it is good to let your child cry.”
She argues that the practice common in Britain of training children to sleep alone from a few weeks old is harmful because any separation from parents increases the flow of stress hormones such as cortisol.
Her findings are based on advances in scientific understanding over the past 20 years of how children’s brains develop ... go to link to read more

Fluoride Deception
I have found a dentist in Lakewood who is anti-fluoride and anti-mercury. ... will have to post the information later.
There is a video on my facebook log that I haven't watched yet, but want to share.... you have to copy and paste the following link ... then poke around if the video doesn't work (it did for me but now it won't)

I am finding facebook a bit confusing. Maybe get to know it this week.
Kids are enjoying their cousin Chief. I forgot my camera, so I'll see if my sister (Regan aka Jade Goldhawk) can post some from her camera.

Spenda Research
New research on effects of Splenda ... decrease of beneficial bacteria and intestinal coating of glycoprotein (so body does not absorb nutrients, supplements, or medications) ...
James Turner, the chairman of the national consumer education group Citizens for Health, has expressed shock and outrage after reading a new report from scientists outlining the dangers of the artificial sweetener Splenda (sucralose).
In animals examined for the study, Splenda reduced the amount of good bacteria in the intestines by 50 percent, increased the pH level in the intestines, contributed to increases in body weight and affected P-glycoprotein (P-gp) levels in such a way that crucial health-related drugs could be rejected.
The P-gp effect could result in medications used in chemotherapy, AIDS treatment and treatments for heart conditions being shunted back into the intestines, rather than being absorbed by the body.
According to Turner, "The report makes it clear that the artificial sweetener Splenda and its key component sucralose pose a threat to the people who consume the product. Hundreds of consumers have complained to us about side effects from using Splenda and this study ... confirms that the chemicals in the little yellow package should carry a big red warning label."
