As it says in the Herald "Apparently these farmers just let their animals stand around in a paddock and help themselves". Revolutionary !! :rolleyes: In the year 2000 there were just 50 US farmers raising cattle on pasture. Now there are more than 1,000. Well haven't you heard just about everything. There's nothing stranger than folks ! Misty :lol:	Misty (368)

363529	2005-06-13 11:46:00	If anyone here has read "My Year of Meat" - a great book btw - , you'll know exactly why. This morning on National Radio, a 'Dr. Campbell' was interviewed at length. Quite impressive - the man and his work, which was an international effort involving Oxford and Cornell Universities and a similar institute in China. Many references are on the web. Here is one (www.vegparadise.com) , sample below. The China Study: the Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted and the Startling Implications For Diet, Weight Loss and Long-Term Health By T. Colin Campbell with Thomas M. Campbell II If T. Colin Campbell were living 500 years ago, he might have been burned at the stake. He would have been denounced as a heretic who dared challenge the prevailing information. Although this is the 21st Century, there are still individuals and groups who relish the thought of burning him at the stake for his views on proper human nutrition. In the book The China Study Campbell, Professor Emeritus of Nutritional Biochemistry at Cornell University, and his son Thomas M. Campbell II present information that is a definite challenge to the dairy and beef industries by revealing how dangerous their products are to human health.	Strommer (42)

363531	2005-06-13 21:50:00	If anyone here has read "My Year of Meat" - a great book btw - , you'll know exactly why. Here (www.eclectica.org) is a book review for My Year of Meat. I dunno Somebody, it sure seems a weird book to me! Sample from the Review: Jane Tagaki-Little and her creator obviously have more in common than a bi-cultural heritage. Both are documentarians, like Sei Shonagon whose ancient (c. 100AD) Pillow Book musings delightfully preface each chapter. But documentaries, as Jane notes, need a story to make them palatable and to penetrate the psychic numbing which constant media presentation of bad news engenders in us all. Both find a suitably gripping story to tell their tale.	Strommer (42)

West Coast "farmers" have long known that cows like both. "It all seems like a waste of good potentual forestry land" says the forums token vegan. Smelly cows.	personthingy (1670)
363533	2005-06-13 23:29:00	Mmmmm....Meat.....I would buy meat flavoured popsicles if they were available. Meat flavoured vege's.....mmm, That idea will make me millions. Chicken and gravy flavoured lollies, Lamb Fizzy, Coffee with a hint of Wild Pork....Hell, I'd flavour the town water supply with venison.....	Metla (12)
363534	2005-06-14 07:58:00	If anyone here has read "My Year of Meat" - a great book btw - , you'll know exactly why. I have it in front of me now. My daughter, who is a vegetarian (almost, she does eat fish !) bought it. Written by Ruth L Ozeki and published by Pan Books in 1998. I have read but forget some of it. The US Farmers get a real hiding in it too - as I remember. ;) cheers Misty	Misty (368)
