As from the beginning, the aim of LocalFoodMap.net has been to promote local food production by making it easier for suppliers and buyers to find each other. We believe that promoting local food encourages more interest in sustainable food production, and ethical food production.

We are seeking ideas from you as to how we can continue to go forward with our plans.

The question I want to know is, how many pathogens are found in the milk of a cow that is raised on pasture, by caring organic farmers who are careful in milking knowing that their milk is to be drank raw by themselves, their children and their customers?

FSANZ do not have any answer for this, they simply assume from the worst figures found in peer-reviewed research land that milk is milk is milk is filthy is ugly is full of germs.

In a previous article I played the skeptic card, and argued that the climate skeptics should be listenned to, and that CO2 gas has its limits on how much it can warm the earth. Since then I have put the skeptics argument to the test with mathematics and physics.

We already know how great omega 3 is and we are told we need more of it. But are we being told just half of the story?

If Nutrition-god Dr Rosemary Stanton has her way, you will see traffic lights on the foods we buy at the supermarket. (Hopefully the foods we sneak over our back-fence will be exempt). So you will see a red mark on a litre of unhomogenised organic milk, the closest thing to real milk that can can be legally bought.

If there is one thing that annoys me more than bad science, it is Big Nanny trying to tell us how to live. But then if there is one thing more annoying than both bad science and Big Nanny, it would have to be Big Nanny spouting off bad science!

CO2 is a greenhouse gas and absorbs infrared radiation in a certain narrow bandwidth which coincides with the infrared emissions of the earth. The absorption spectrum of CO2 does not cover the entire earths emission spectrum, and the in the bandwidths it is covering, it is doing a pretty good job already - so much so that there is very little radiation escaping to space in these bandwidths.

I consider myself a bit of a left-winged tree-hugging hippy who just so happens to like eating meat, believes whale hunting is fine - as long as it is sustainable, and that we shouldn't necessarily believe in climate doomsday predictions just because it seems in line with your politics.
This article is targeted to Greenies, to reconsider climate skepticism on scientific merit - not political association!

It seems that when it comes to food colourings, Australia and New Zealands food authority have the same concern as I, that consumers need to make the informed decision, and that consumers have a right to choose to have yellow lollies even if it means their children will be up all night jumping on the bed.
