		<description><![CDATA[Are you familar with Earthsave&#039;s Healthy Planet initiative in Sacramento California.  Earthsave and other social service agencies are trying to teach people to eat in a healthy manner.

I remember taking a trip from LA to SF, up Interstate 5 in California and see hordes of cattle in the hot sun in an area that looked like the moon.  I didn&#039;t see a blade of grass or shade.  That is the way animals are raised to feed consumers in the States.

That is what we have come to, and that is the reason for our obesity and ill health.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When are you guys going to face the fact that North American farmers and ranchers don&#039;t want to loose their lifestyle, their homes or their small scale?!?!?!

When are you going to add them too your list of partnerships?!?!?!?!?

They want the same freedom you guys have - freedom to be small - to not be forced into commercial growning.  They want only 500 - 1,000 head of cattle. They want 1 - 5 - 80 acres to grow on. And they want healthier ways to grow long term.  But they are being forced out of their present path into the cities or the commercial - Just like Indian farmers in India.

Our local farmers and ranchers want to grow foods for the local public schools, but they can&#039;t because the rules are SO geared towards commercial corporations they small guys can&#039;t get in edgewise.  The rules say that the food has to be processed in commercial plants, the cattle in commercial USDA slaughter houses.  

Our small cities/villages want local food, because they see their kids getting sick, fat and hungry on the disgusting food provided.  Food without flavor because they&#039;ve been grown in hothouses.  Food grown without nutritional value because they are hibridized.  Food grown without the love and support of local communities.  

Our small schools have only 400 kids in them, yet the food comes from 100&#039;s of miles away, sometimes 1,000&#039;s of miles away.  Kids fall asleep in class because there&#039;s too much starch, they have alergic reactions to the food coloring/nitrates and just end up miserable after lunch with indegestion and constipation.  The food is rarely processed/cooked with a local cook.  They are made in big cities like Reno, NV and then wrapped in plastic and brought here and reheated.

We could use your help...
We could use your guidance...
You want to sell around the world, we just want our kids to be happy because they are healthy...

Thanks for listening...]]></description>
