Recipe: Fabulous Fennel Saladeby Master Live Food Chef Kelly of Raw Gourmet La VieWe urge you to visit her wonderful website.I’m calling this recipe ‘Fabulous Fennel Salade’. I loved the chocolate dressing so much that I decided to present it in a different version. So I dehydrated the dressing and used it in the plate design as well as in the dressing itself. This is irresistibly delicious. I hope all of your subscribers enjoy this one. Chocolate Vinaigrette Dressing Ingredients: Directions: Candied Pecans: Directions: |

The Dangers of Factory Farming
In the early 1970s, when the first large-scale concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) appeared — first for egg-laying hens — it was with the notion that this “modern” way of rearing livestock was more efficient and profitable. By 1980, chickens, pigs, beef and dairy cows raised on CAFOs were commonplace, and today most meat sold in the U.S. comes from these massive, industrialized operations. The cheap meat they produce is not without consequence, however. When you buck the laws of nature and attempt to industrialize farming instead of raising animals the right way — with good food and access to the outdoors that allows animals to live naturally — it’s a recipe for disease. Nipah virus was named for the town where the first reported outbreak was identified: Kampung Sungai Nipah, Malaysia. The outbreak started in 1998 and ended up devastating the farming town, where close to 1 in 3 families lost loved ones. |
Bison Killing Season Drawing to a Close
1,300 buffalo have been killed this winter, sent to slaughter by the National Park Service or shot by hunters. That’s 1,300 individual buffalo, members of America’s only continuously wild population, gone forever and never to walk the earth again. This winter’s slaughter comes second only to 2008, when government agencies slaughtered more than 1,600. Such killings are the result of Montana’s intolerance for wild buffalo, forced upon the federal government through the Interagency Bison Management Plan. People often ask, “How do you do it? How do you bear witness to such horrible actions against the buffalo?” Our answer is, “Because we need to.” Our constant presence holds the agencies accountable, draws global attention to the crimes against wild buffalo, and has resulted in many victories. Without our constant presence the atrocious actions against the buffalo would go largely unnoticed. The little information getting out would be sugar-coated in government spin and the buffalo would be treated far worse than they are now. Without BFC in the field, no one would know the truth. This is why we are here, bearing witness, standing with the buffalo on their chosen ground, living this reality with them, and exposing the truth. When enough people become aware of what the federal and Montana governments are doing to our last wild buffalo, when they raise their voices to demand that it stop—only then will the buffalo be free. Until that day, Buffalo Field Campaign will be here, doing everything in our power. |
