Wow, did you see the articles in the WSJ yesterday? One was on milk consumption and the other on new dietary guidelines. Nicholas Zamiska wrote about milk consumption. The new guidelines pump up the recommended dairy levels. Good and bad, like many solutions. A compromise for the consumer who may opt to do something else with an extra $5 per month. Is it that much worse to buy one more cheap twelve-pack of soda? Imagine if our schools think that way. Er, maybe they already do. There is a milk club in the smallest of coastal villages that encourages the discouragement of sugar-based sodas. I am getting the scoop on it. Soda hits the sugar fix, and maybe if one drinks more soday they will drink less alcohol. But soda will rot nails in a jar. Try it. Place an iron nail in a glass of soda and watch it. Can't be good.

Have you seen Super Size Me? I saw it at the Sundance Film Festival. Definitely a must see. Way to go Morgan! There is no one to blame but ourselves regarding obesity in our country. Geez, how embarassing, disease or not. We see the light, but many, so many folks are not able. It is our duty to help others and make available affordable healthy food for all communities.

We just returned from Alaska. Our task: step into the shoes of the motherhood for two weeks. whew. This was a doozie, not much different than class IV whitewater. Here's one of our fellow MuddFielders
under cover in Homer, Alaska. We stayed at the Seaside Cottages, owned by singer Jewel's aunt. Organic raspberry jam, community barbecue, outhouses.
