Some of you may recall hearing about the Al Roker Entertainment and the Food Network doing a show on raw milk. Well, it has been in the can for quite a while, but the lid is being popped off this weekend!
This Saturday night, at 6:30pm EST the Milk and Honey episode will air. The piece chronicles Liz Reitzig’s activism on the raw milk issue in her home state of Maryland. Yours truly was interviewed for the story, but not sure if I will end up on the cutting room floor. Tune in to the My Life in Food show and see!
Liz is the President of Maryland Independent Consumers and Farmers Association, and a Weston A. Price Chapter Leader. Search for Maryland on my blog to see other stories about Liz’s raw milk campaign. She takes her campaign for food freedom to Capitol Hill on April 21st. Join her for Farm Food Voices Lobby Day in Washington, D.C. A flyer about the event is available for download in the Files section of the Northern Virginia Whole Foods Nutrition Meetup group.
Oh, by the way, last Friday’s guest blog post on the Food Safety Legislation by Steve Bemis was selected by OpEdNews.com as a Top Web Oped! Congrats, Steve!

Oh wow. I always distrust mainstream media coverage of stuff like this. They always somehow make us out to look like lunatics. I guess we are when compared to the mainstream. But, really, folks! It’s not like we don’t have brains.

I have it set to remind me when if comes on. I hope it isn’t fear monger crap.
Thanks for the advance notice! I’ll have to set a recording for this so I don’t forget!
Best,
Sarah
Sarah’s last blog post..The cutest thing
I read MSN health articles online when I’m bored at work, and I’ve seen raw milk articles surface twice in the past few months. They always say the same thing– “The supporters are passionate, the benefits are unproven, the risks are real.” Mainstream media tends to furrow its brow and shrug confusedly at the level of enthusiasm displayed by supporters of these “unproven” benefits.
Maybe they should ask themselves when the last time was that they were so passionate about anything on their table that they felt compelled to carry signs declaring it?

I have Dish Network with a DVR. I went to look at the guide on television and could not find this program to set and record it. I will keep looking for it in the onscreen guide.

Helen, search by channel, not by show title. That is what we had to do. Go to Food Channel and look at 6:30pm EST and you should see My Life in Food (milk and honey episode).
Good luck!

Well, to soon to say if it’s good, but at least it’s well designed.
I mean I thought I would be blocked after adding some interests, but the site helps you to add more.
Cheers
