I revamped the Dairy Page (http://www.sustainabletable.org/issues/dairy/) a while back and its finally posted. (Sadly, the last line was altered– raw milk and raw milk products are illegal in most states.)

I also edited their page on RBGH, you can find by following this link: http://www.sustainabletable.org/issues/rbgh/

Sponsored by World Hunger Year, Step up to the Plate: Ending the Food Crisis, brought together a panel of speakers to discuss, what else, our world food crisis. The forum could have been a day-long event, packed into 3 short hours, provided speakers roughly 15 short minutes of talk time. It’s worth a listen to the sound bites below.

The first video is Gerardo Reyes Chavez, leader of the Immokalee worker movement, fighting for rights of tomato pickers in Florida. A very powerful speaker who has already done so much and is sure to keep strong. The second link is to author Raj Patel, who recently published a great book, Stuffed and Starved. Others follow, including Alice Waters.

The event was video taped by Philanthromedia and clips of the evening can be viewed on their blog – www.philanthromedia.org, or on You Tube here:
