An impossiblity..<g>.. But so it goes.. So I will change the subject to not books or movies but sustainable agriculture. A subject near and dear to my heart, since we all have to eat. :). Next to world peace, an overall social conscience, environmentalism, and on and on.. <g>.. I seen(saw) a news excerpt today about so many children now having broken bones so early from sports like soccer, because of poor bone density.. Well a University of New Mexico doctor (yea LOBOS) traced it to the lack of milk drinking and too much soft drinks, sodas, pop, etc.. They watch and therefore learn from their parents, who just drink processed fluids for their liquid intake and learn from all, a negative outlook of milk.. And supplements for milk, like all supplements, like in livestock do not do the trick.. I believe adults should limit or not partake of milk, but developing children are an altogether different story. Since children are weaned (or never) so early, an another animal milk should be substituted.. So I support dairies, family farm daries, (not BIG FACTORY types) to supply this needed nutrition.. They (family-type) should be subsidized, (a bad word I know, but better than subsidizing bombs, bullets, etc.), for the sake of clean, organic milk to build healthy bones for all those young soccer players, and budding gymnastists too.. :) and especially all those other unnamed bodies that want to lead a happy and healthy life.. Back to books or movies next time. m
