The future of raw milk is in jeopardy in California. It seems legislation was quietly put into effect that will make raw milk illegal as of January 1, 2008.

We cannot let this happen. If we do, then what’s next? In September legislation was put into effect that made it mandatory to pasteurize raw almonds; now this.

We need to take action today or we will lose more and more of our rights.
Read below for more info from Mark McAfee, owner of Organic Pastures, on how you can help.

We need your help to save raw milk in California. The entire raw milk
movement is being attacked when raw milk is attacked in California or
any place. You the consumer is being attacked and being denied your right
to chose living whole foods.

It is time to fight for your health and your lives, because that is
exactly what is on the line. Sterilized and preserved food brings on
immune depression, allergies and illness. Antibiotics then make it all that
much worse. 80 percent of the human immune system is made up of
bacteria in our gut. When they die we die!! We need good bacteria badly. The
crisis in MRSA and VRE infections are directly associated with weak
immune systems and antibiotic abuse. Most all chronic diseases and immune
depression are healed by whole bio-diverse and enzyme rich foods….raw
milk. Raw milk is at least 800 times more biologically diverse than
even good yogurt.

Please go to www.organicpastures.com for specific directions on what to
do and who to call. Addresses, contact information and legislative
representative names are available here:

High on our priority is our Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, the
Secretary of Agriculture A.G Kawamura, and all the state legislators. 

This a raw milk health revolution….do not let it be our generation
that lost this fight. We owe it too ourselves and our children to win
this and place these GOT DEAD MILK protectors on notice that this is a
democracy and due process and representation still matters.  Sneak Attacks
will not be tolerated by the raw milk consumers or producers of
California or our nation.

You are requested to attend a rally and press conference at 1130 at the
Fresno Farmers Market at Shaw and Blackstone avenues on Saturday
October 27th. I will be speaking to the press and they need to hear your
voices loud and clear. We expect a huge turn out and we need everybody
that can come. Raw milk will be on sale for all that come. Movie stars are
invited…Arnold needs to hear from you.

Try your best to attend the rally wear a shirt that supports raw milk
and your right to eat whole living foods!

Stand now and be counted!!!  See you in Fresno at the Farmers Market on
Saturday.

Only living milk brings life!!

Those of you that are familiar with me know that I am a huge proponent of eating whole foods. And, I believe that the most important of all of the whole foods available are vegetables and fruits. However, I have found that most people find it extremely difficult to incorporate vegetables and fruits into their every day life.

The following is an excerpt from my forthcoming new book, Better Living With Whole Foods, that may help you:

Vegetables & Fruits
If you currently eat lots of vegetables and fruits, Great! If you don’t presently eat many vegetables and fruits you need to start. Yes, your mother was right; you need to eat your fruits and veggies. As with every other aspect of your health and fitness, add them in slowly. Think of how you ate last week and try to eat a little better this week. 

Look, I know first hand how hard it can be to incorporate vegetables and fruits into your daily routine. In fact, when I first started buying produce (notice that I said buying produce and not eating produce), I would have to throw most of it away because it would spoil before I ate it. A six ounce bag of spinach would spoil in my refrigerator before I was half way done with it.

If you are in a similar situation… keep on buying produce. You will eventually eat more and more of the green stuff as time goes by. I always get the same reaction from people when they hear me say this: “But I don’t want to waste food or money.”

Let me tell you something, if you don’t have produce available for you and your family to eat in your home, you will never develop the habit of eating it. You have to make small sacrifices in the beginning in order to receive big rewards down the line.

Today, a six ounce bag of spinach will be gone in one day. I now eat about 4 pounds of spinach per week, plus a variety of other fruits and vegetables that are in season. And I have never felt better in my entire life!

The point I’m trying to make is this: I would never have gotten to this point in my life if I hadn’t taken the steps to make sure that I always had produce available in my home.

In order to get in the habit of eating produce, you have to first get in the habit of buying produce.

I hope that this helps you on your quest towards a happier, healthier life. Have a wonderful day.

What the heck is flexitarianism?

Well, it is a cross between a vegetarian and a meat eater.

According to Maria Condo of Cooking Light:
“Like vegetarians, “flexitarians” eat a primarily plant-based diet composed of grains, vegetables, and fruits, but they occasionally obtain protein from lean meat, fish, poultry, or dairy. A quarter of Americans fit the description, consuming meatless meals at least four days a week, according to the American Dietetic Association.”

This is exactly the way that most people should eat. Studies show that people who follow this approach to eating generally weigh less and have lower rates of hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, and prostate and colon cancer.

Meats, including beef, chicken, fish, and pork, are a major cause of the above mentioned diseases. Not to mention all of the processed foods that are available.

If you concentrate on eating a majority of food from vegetables, fruits and raw nuts, and keep consumption of meat to a minimum, you are going to be much healhtier. There is no doubt about it.

I am a vegetarian and I love the way that I look and feel eating the way that I do. However, I am a healthy vegetarian. I eat healthy whole foods every day and stay away from the processed and denatured foods that most Amrericans eat. It is unfortunate that many vegetarians do not eat healthy. They substitute meat with packaged foods that contain a large amount of highly processed grains, flours, and sugars.

As mentioned above, I think flexitarianism is a great choice for most Americans that refuse to give up meat altogether. The premise is simple.

1. Eat like a vegetarian most days of the week.
2. Keep meat eating to a minimum.
3. Eat primarily healthy whole foods, including a variety of vegetables and fruits.
4. Stay away from processed and refined foods.

The principles are simple and easy to implement if you are well informed. However, I have found that most people are confused when it comes to exactly what foods to select when they are shopping at the grocery store or ordering a meal in a restaurant.

This is why I have created a new program, Better Living With Whole Foods. It clears the confusion and gives you the ammunition to make the most healthful and delicious choices in any situation. I will talk more about this fantastic new program as it comes closer to its release date.

Have a wonderful day
