It's hard to beleive that we have been filming for 13 weeks! The Telos All Digital Television Network should begin showing our program and airing all programing in the next couple of days. The words to me from the producer were "You have no idea how big this whole thing is!" I probalby don't understand, but can't wait to see what happens next!
The one thing that amazes me the most is how much I have learned while doing the research and studying for this program! WOW! Was I dumb! I had never really cared that much about the nutritional value of my foods--I pretty much didn't care what the label said and cared even less if it was organic or not (still don't care that much about that one!) But I am learning so much, just by filling my circle with people who are knowledgable and interested in in eating healthy.
I am truly becoming a proponent for healthy foods, and probably, over the course of time, I will even begin to eat organic foods--if just to eleminate the additives that are being pumped into our bodies!
While I certainly didn't plan on being a lobbyist for any farm group, I am constantly shaking my head at how much control the government has over our food, and what a poor job they do at monitoring it! Things that should be checked--like the recent egg recall--are slipping through the cracks. And things that should be left up to individuals--like the great raw milk debate--are stuck in a myriad of laws!
I don't intend my show, or my blog, to become a political soapbox, but America! Wake Up! What we are losing here is much more than just the right to select our milk!
If we don't ban together, in a few more years we will all be getting a "raw" deal--and it won't be in the form of milk!
