    We are also the only species that cracks chicken eggs and cooks them in a frying pan. And the only species that cooks meat. And the only species that farms. We're different - that's just how it is.

    I keep thinking this, too. Aren't we the only animal than CAN do these things? If I had a dairy cow in my backyard, I'm sure my dog would suckle its teet daily, and afterwards, she would go to the fridge and eat and drink everything in it.

    Most cats can't properly digest milk and it makes them sick. You have a lucky kitty.


    I drink milk every day, but I think humans would be fine without it. I'm not sure why people are paying so much for it.

    If I leave out prosciutto, goat cheese or ice cream my cat is all over it. Cats have no ability to produce any of those things.

    Ron Paul speaking about Raw Milk.

    and this from the FDA Feb. 22, 2012

    Federal government gains permanent injunction against raw milk producer
    Farmer enjoined from distributing raw milk products across state lines

    A federal court has granted the U.S. Food and Drug Administration a permanent injunction preventing Daniel L. Allgyer and his Rainbow Acres Farm from distributing raw milk and raw milk products in final package form for human consumption across state lines.

    U.S. District Judge Lawrence F. Stengel, of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, also ruled that Allgyer’s participation in a so-called “private buying club” does not shield him from federal oversight, and that Allgyer’s “cow share” agreements are a subterfuge for sales of raw milk. Members of the private buying club had allegedly purchased “shares” of individual cows and then claimed that their reputed ownership entitled them to raw milk from those cows. Allgyer provided the association members who lived outside of Pennsylvania with containers of raw milk, even though federal law prohibits sales of raw milk for human consumption across state lines. Raw milk sales are legal within the state of Pennsylvania.

    Allgyer also violated federal law by not providing any labeling on the raw milk containers sold to consumers.

    The FDA sought the injunction against Allgyer after documenting multiple and repeated violations of federal law. The agency issued a warning letter to Allgyer in April 2010, informing him of these violations and requesting that he take corrective measures to avoid regulatory action. Despite such warning, Allgyer continued to operate in violation of federal law.

    The permanent injunction requires Allgyer to place a statement on his products, invoices, and website that he will no longer distribute unpasteurized milk or milk products in interstate commerce. He also must keep complete records of each sale, including the name and address of each buyer, the date of sale or distribution, and the amount and type of products sold, and must provide a copy of the Court’s order to all employees and persons who work with him to distribute unpasteurized milk and milk products

    (Personally, the last time I had Raw Milk was well over a decade ago, and I really miss it. It tasted great, soooooo good! These day's I drink Organic Milk. But would one day like to make a switch back to Organic Raw)

    Thanks again, just last week we went to a farm in Boynton Beach FL and pick our own strawberries, green, red peppers and tomatoes. I tasted one of the red peppers and it was so ggod I ate the whole thing which was almost as big as my hand. It tasted like the sweetest fruit and the strawberries were so sweet and soft I had to tell the teller to put them in smaller bags so that they wouldn't get crushed under their own weight. It was so much fun we picked them in a misty rain and in bare feet, we're going back tomorrow the kids wanted no part in this adventure. :D We have to get some more purple potatoes.

    This evokes such a nice visual. Thank you.

    It reminds me of when I was a kid, and my family would drive a long ways (don't know where, I was a kid!) and we'd go cherry-picking...on ladders right up into the trees, with lovely baskets to toss them in. I'd always eat some fresh and spit the pits.

    Cherries are one of the few things I love about summertime.

    It was FUN. Felt natural too.

    And the fruit itself? DEE-lish.

    I bet if your kids gave it a shot, they'd love it.

    Yeah maybe they would but that constant bending over would probably grow old fast. However, right next door is the Loxahachee National Wildlife Refuge...beautiful and prestine (long trails, camping), a couple of the teens would only the part just for the fishing or spotting a 10 footer....gator that is. :o

    "Picked them in a misty rain and in bare feet"...that's just awesome. :P

    Do you ever make fresh smoothies with those sweet strawberries? I love Fruit Smoothies.
