Had similar thoughts, Jim. A vegetarian agenda seems antithetical to WAPF's overall message. Good point about vegetarian awareness day used to focus on local, sustainable farming.
I, too, was vegan for 7 years for health reasons when what I really needed was to get off milk protein and gluten. Took years after giving up gluten to understand milk protein was the animal product with which my body had the most trouble. No gluten made veganism much harder, yet, I persisted, full of belief, for my "health." Turns out, not that healthy for me.
WAPF's Sally Fallon spoke to our Northern VA CFS support group, convinced me to try a hamburger again. I hear the vegan, vegetarian arguments, often sound/seem reasonable, but everything in life has an up side and a down side. Mary Tyler Moore is doing ok after 5 decades of veganism. Impressive, just not for me.
Grateful to Sally Fallon for opening my thinking about food and cooking, for restoring trust for what kept our ancestors thriving, pre-hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated vegetable oils.

Dear Friends in Anne Arundel County,
This is an email reminding you to sign my petition called "Nourishing
Our Children Campaign". I will be meeting soon with our County Council
Representative, Josh Cohen and need as many signatures as I can get..
Please take a moment to read about this important issue, and join me
in signing the petition. It takes just 30 seconds, but can truly make
a difference. We are trying to reach 1000 signatures - please sign here:
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/nourishing-our-children-campaign
Once you have signed, you can help even more by asking your friends
and family to sign as well. They do not need to be a parent only an
Anne Arundel county citizen, as their tax dollars are helping to feed
the children in this community.
Thank you so much!

Nourishing Our Children Presentation -Saturday, February 9, 2:30PM
You are invited to a dynamic presentation that explains why many
traditional foods now considered unhealthy are, in fact, vital to the
growth and intellectual development of our children. The presentation
is given free of charge. Please bring a friend, this meeting will be
open to the public as well. The presentation will be held at the West
street library on Saturday, Feb. 9th from 2:30 to 4:30.
Nourishing Our Children is not just about identifying the dangers of
Oreos, cola, candy and other obvious junk foods. The campaign also
presents research illustrating how foods widely assumed to be
nutritional - including packaged foods commonly described as
"organic","natural" or "fortified" - are themselves heavily processed
and stripped of nutritional value. Although these labels provide a
convenient way for parents to determine which foods to buy, the items
associated with those labels often betray the standard of optimal
nutrition.

Hi All,
Thank You, Thank You to those of you who are volunteering at this Kids Being Healthy Expo, tomorrow (Thurs May 10) to Sat May 12 at the Baltimore Convention Center www.kidsbeinghealthyexpo.com I VERY Much appreciate your willingness, generosity and support !!!!
For those of you who haven't volunteered yet, I wanted to copy you
in on this email to encourage you to participate if you can, and to show you where we need help if you are available. If you volunteer, you can also attend the conference and any of the presentations for free, including the premier of the 2 Angry Moms new movie about Food in Schools (Fri nite), Richard Simmons, Antonia Demas and many others !!
I have typed up our Schedule of Volunteers (so far) for our Weston A. Price Exhibit Booth. I did not enter my name under all of the time slots that I can volunteer yet and Hillary Little is not scheduled yet but she will be there for at least 1 - 2 days too !!
My Goal is to have 2 people at the booth most of the time ... although I may need to leave for short periods of time to go to work (about 6 blocks away at the University of Maryland School of Nursing). We will want to have 2 people there during the 12 noon - 1:30
timeslots each day since that's when attendees will have lunch and tour the Exhibit Hall.
They are expecting ~ 2000 - 2500 people to attend over the 3 days ... and Saturday may be the busiest day, since it's on the weekend.
You should be able to get your badge (which will say "Staff V.I.P.") at the Expo Registration area, at the Registation Table for Exhibitors. Tell them that you are with the Weston A. Price Foundation Exhibit Booth. We are allowed to have up to 5 volunteers at one time, so there will definitely be a badge available for you.
Our Exhibit Booth is: # 646
Parking is available in nearby parking garages, some are more expensive than others. I will email you with more information about this after I do some research on it.
Thanks Again for your Help !! See the
Schedule of Volunteers below, and the list of Volunteers phone numbers below that (included if we need it ... Please add any cell phone numbers to this list as well ... thanks!)

I'm so sorry this got dumped. Who or what is "FB"?
How can the government possibly monitor if people use

Exemption from Regulation – Del. Love
HEALTH AND GOVERNMENTAL OPERATIONS, 240 Taylor House Office Building at 1:00pm
This bill would allow milk producers to sell unpastuerized milk and
milk products directly to consumers without regard to health regulations in Maryland. Maryland Farm
Bureau is concerned that this would put at risk the entire dairy
industry. MARYLAND FARM BUREAU OPPOSES H.B. 1010.
Not sure where the lawsuit stands, but
MDHMH is vehemently opposed to raw milk sales, so much so, that in August 2006
they took away our right to drink raw milk from our own cattle and goats.

Subject:Maryland Small Farmers
working together-again!!
Hello Friends of the Raw Milk Bill-(HB1010).
This bill comes up for initial committee vote this week. Most people
are not aware that this is even happening here in Maryland. It is urgent that we take
immediate action to reclaim our dietary right to clean, raw milk (and related
products such as butter and cheeses) straight from the family farm.
This email is a request for you to do three simple things to benefit a
lot of people.
1. Gain accurate knowledge about this subject- Consumers should have
the right to choose between valueless, health-less processed foods and natural,
whole life-giving foods. The history of our milk supply is very
enlightening-The opposition does not want you to get too educated about this
history. WHY? Because their best chance to win will be to use Ignorance and
Fear to fight this bill. Did you know that most doctors and dairymen do not
have an accurate knowledge of the history of our milk supply? You can learn a
lot in just a few minutes by checking out these 2 web pages; http://www.breadandmoney.com/docs/paradox.htmlhttp://www.raw-milk-facts.com/milk_history.html
2. Contact your legislative representatives- ask them to support the
Raw Milk Bill-HB1010. There will be a battle over this Bill-in the public arena
and in our legislative process-big business and big dairy will fight this to
the “court house steps” and you will hear that it is for a lot of
good reasons. Mainly you will hear that it is out of concern for the health of
our citizens. You will also hear that it is out of concern for their industry
and related liability issues. This is Hogwash but it could be effective hogwash
unless we VOICE our OPINION about what is really going on here. Remember, the
dairy industry DOES NOT have to sell raw milk to anyone-do they? Why
don’t they want me and other small farms selling milk and milk products?
You should have received an email from me with our state
representatives contact information. I contacted all 22 offices and left my
name, phone number and a message that I was in favor of HB1010-in less than an
hour. It does not take long. I also sent you a copy of the email that I sent to
all committee members, as an example. Feel free to cut and paste the addresses
into your email to them-they especially need to hear from small farm operators
and consumers who want our products.
3. Help spread the word about this situation and help to educate others
or enlist the help of other like minded individuals. Feel free to forward
anything I send to you. We have a big job ahead and not much time. Let’s
use the internet to maximize our potential. We do not have the big-buck
lobbying program that the dairy industry has but we have something more
powerful-individuals who care about changing a broken system.
I have a very small, very clean, very healthy goat herd on my family
farm in FrederickCountyMD.
Many people have asked to buy my goat’s milk. I cannot legally sell them
my clean, healthy goat milk in Maryland.
They can go to Virginia or Pennsylvania and buy their raw milk there.Friends
and family love the homemade chevre cheese that I make from my fresh
goat’s milk. They say I should sell the cheese. I cannot legally sell the
cheese in Maryland.
BUT……we have an opportunity to change all of this and make it right
for hundreds of small farmers and thousands of educated consumers.
I will be sending you additional information on this Bill as it becomes
available to me.
Thank you so very, very much for your help and support. Feel free to
contact me with any questions/comments.

***ACTION ALERT***
Raw Milk bill HB1010 to be voted on by the
Health and Government Operations Committee
Del. Mary Ann Love’s bill, HB1010, legalizing producer to consumer sales
of raw milk, will be voted on in committee this week, probably Thursday or Friday
but perhaps earlier. Your calls matter more than you would believe!!
Please contact the committee members immediately and ask them to vote in
favor of HB1010 without amendments. The Farm Bureau has come out against
this bill. We can be sure that they are pulling out all the stops and
meeting behind closed doors with the delegates. We have done great so
far, and made miracles happen, but we need to keep the pressure up for this to
go through.
ACTIONS
Call, email
and/or fax the members of the House Health and Government Operations
Committee and ask them to vote in favor of raw milk bill HB1010 without
amendments (contact info below). When you call and write, consider telling
them why it is important to you (leaving messages is fine). Some of
the members of the HGO also co-sponsored the bill. Please THANK them
for co-sponsoring.
If at all
possible, go to Annapolis
and meet with any delegates on the HGO committee.
You can copy/paste the wording below into your email (please add/change
into your own words, this is for your convenience).
I support HB1010, introduced by Del.
Mary Ann Love. Please vote FOR HB1010 without amendments. I support
legalizing direct producer to consumer sales of raw milk in Maryland. Maryland has never had a disease outbreak
associated with raw milk. The passage of this legislation will create
opportunity for small family farms. It will also give Maryland citizens the possibility of locally
purchasing one of the healthiest foods that humanity has long relied upon.
Raw milk is a nutrient dense food full of healthy probiotic components
that actually enhance health and the immune system. Citizens of Maryland have the right
to purchase raw milk from farmers who they trust. This is a healthy
choice we should be able to make as responsible citizens.
Thank you for your support. Link for
