More Omega 3s
"Omega 3 which has been linked to reducing the incidence of mental
disorders including depression, aggressive behavior, attention-deficit
disorder (ADD), schizophrenia and dementia. The cardiovascular system is
equally dependant on Omega 3s. People with diets rich in Omega 3s are
less likely to have high blood pressure or irregular heat rhythms. They
are half as likely to die from a heart attack or stroke." Joe
Robinson: Why Grass-fed is Best
More CLA, Conjugated Linoleic Acid
CLA has shown promise in medical research research tests. "When
rats are fed very small amounts of CLA-a mere .1 percent of their total
calories-they show a significant reduction in tumor growth."

Eat Fat: Get Lean
Quoting Jo Robinson's book, "Why Grassfed is Best", "Eating fat makes you fat" is a maxim
that most people accept without question. But CLA is no ordinary fat. Amazingly, it helps
convert fat to lean muscle - every dieter's dream. The fat burning properties of CLA was
first noted in animal studies. In one of these experiments, mice given CLA gained only 30
percent as much fat as a group not given the nutrient.1 We humans may respond in
a similar way. In a 3 month study, 20 inactive men and women were given either CLA Supplements
(3 grams per day) or placebos. Even though neither group exercised more or ate less, the CLA
group loat an average of five pounds and had a significant 15 to 20 percent drop in body fat.2
The placebo group had little or no change in weight or drop in body fat.

Rural Jobs
Organic farming is not the most economical way to farm. It requires many
more hours to do a given job than conventional methods. Although many of
the farming methods could be done with a pass of the sprayer, we use old
mechanical methods to accomplish the same task. This is also providing
more jobs in rural America, something that is sorely missing in the
bigger is better modern farming.
Clean and Green
This is not about us. It is about our children and grandchildren. Organic farming
preserves the soil and nature. It keeps it in a healthy, earth-friendly condition.
Your purchase of these goods is helping us do this.
Sustainable Agriculture
Organic farming avoids petroleum-based fertilizers and chemicals.
When man has exhausted the supply of cheap oil, he must still know
how to grow food. Therefore, organic farming is preserving those
methods and can pass them on to the future generations. |
