| | For our
last newsletter of the year, I thought I would put a few articles about the many benefits of grass-fed animal products. Many
people don't know about the difference between grass-fed and conventionally raised, factory farmed animals. Hopefully
these articles and the websites in the links section will shed some light on the many benefits of eating grass-fed animals.
The other article is about a wonderful community project in northern California that hopefully will be replicated
in many other cities in the near future. Have a wonderful Holiday Season and a very Happy and Healthy New Year. In

| You Are What Your Animals Eat
In my investigation into pasture-based
farming, I've stumbled upon an alarming state of affairs: few animal scientists see any link between animal feed and human
food. "Feed animals anything you want," say the experts, "and it makes no difference to their meat, milk, or
eggs." Because of this mindset, our animals are being fed just about anything that enhances the bottom line, including
chicken feathers, sawdust, chicken manure, stale pizza dough, potato chips, and candy bars. |
Health Benefits of Grass-Fed Products
Meat, eggs, and dairy products
from pastured animals are ideal for your health. Compared with commercial products, they offer you more "good" fats,
and fewer "bad" fats. They are richer in antioxidants; including vitamins E, beta-carotene, and vitamin C. Furthermore,
they do not contain traces of added hormones, antibiotics or other drugs.
Below is a summary of these important benefits.
Following the summary is a list of news bulletins that provide additional reasons for finding a local provider of grass-fed
food.

Spiral Garden in Berkeley, CA USA
Lisa Stephens, 'gardener
in chief' at Spiral Gardens Community Food Security Project, can't quite estimate just how much food the farm produces
each week, nor how much food they sell. "It really depends on how many people are working on the farm," she says,
"In a good year, we'll get up to four tons."
