She says a lot of schools are playing it (and it's getting a theatrical release) and if your school can't afford the screener price to explain their situation and they will try and make it happen.Steve Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17639176315514772554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-40427690271710731812010-03-10T06:04:51.562-07:002010-03-10T06:04:51.562-07:00Like I predicted, Sadly they refused.

Also they said their main topic (relating to exercise, nutrition, harmful drugs) does not relate to fresh food. Even though they did give me an explanation in person, I am kind of thinking they dont like the idea of showing this in school. <br />Oh well, maybe next year.TheThinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04340632719888180917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-79078464244840807122010-03-05T19:14:26.809-07:002010-03-05T19:14:26.809-07:00As far as I know our health course books come with...As far as I know our health course books come with yearly updated DVDS and Movies for students to watch (about specific topics). Since this does not relate to our course, they will probably decline.

The farm graciously takes care of "my" cow and gives me the products.<br /><br />The cows are free range, organic, blah, blah, blah. Just plain cows, like all cows before they were very recently industrialized. They test every week and have never had a case of disease.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01128736835237266915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-88792065134368617212010-03-05T14:02:32.831-07:002010-03-05T14:02:32.831-07:00Thanks so much for this Steve I think you are righ...Thanks so much for this Steve I think you are right - natural is probably a lot easier than we fear and industry has led us to believe.<br /><br />We have a local farm that already produces milk with no hormone cows, that feed on grass etc. It keeps much much longer than store bought milk and the taste is so different. Not sure if they would provide raw milk or not as it is illegal in many towns here in Mass to do so. It's actually a town by town thing in our state.

We had to sign a "will not sue" contract to get it. This is because you can't consume raw anything from mass produced cows because theyare so diseased.Steve Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17639176315514772554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-88732315429862053272010-03-05T13:15:30.546-07:002010-03-05T13:15:30.546-07:00I joined a local farm last month.
