Guest guest Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Sally, in response to this statement you had: I doubt anyone will fund a study or film documentary on this because there is NO CORPORATE MONEY TO BE MADE and the risk to a HUGE (mega Huge) elite controlled industry. The director of the absorbing documentary film "Supersize Me" took on the HUGE Mc's industry all by himself! Corporations kvetched against the movie, naturally, including Mc's. After the movie premiered though, McD quietly pulled it's "Will you want to Supersize that?" and rolled out "premium" salads though they're chockful of sugar yet. There was no corporate $$ involved in the making of the movie (at least I don't think so) and it got the representative of a huge powerful food-related lobby fired after he was interviewed in the movie.

Of course they wont be making documentaries on raw milkat least not unless it means a profit to them. We dont need them to create a documentary! We can do it ourselves and raise a big stink just like did or Spurlock. > >I think the reason why change doesnt happen as fast as we want it is because we are waiting for someone else to do something for us instead of doing it ourselves. > >With that saidwhy dont we find a way ourselves to make a documentary happen. There has to be people in adequate financial positions to back us up. Not everyone that drinks raw milk is poor! Anyone know any rich raw milk drinkers that we can solicited with a financial proposal for a documentary. Ill write the proposal and knock on doors! > >All joking aside, I am actually serious about this and if any of you want to start a documentary production team, Im there! > >~Candace My first question is how much does making a documentary really cost? If y'all are really serious about it, I mean, sheesh, take the people on this list. How many are there? (I haven't checked recently, but I seem to recall someone saying something like 300 members.) Ten bucks per person (or the equivalent of 1-1/2 - 2 gallons of milk, depending on where you live!), that's $3000. Even I, Little Miss Needs-A-Job, could spring for that (even though it would make me have to ration my milk for a day or two!) It seems a little strange to have such a grass-roots bunch of people looking for a " single " backer or two. Of course, with 300 " backers " , think of the " creative differences " problems you'd have! My one-tenth of a cent. (no puns intended) ... that is all, carry on. MFJ Everything connects.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 I wonder if anyone else can duplicate or has noticed something I find very interesting but no one can explain to me. And, yes, I can repeat it every time I do it. What I have noticed is this: When I make a cup of tea at home, since I do not have a microwave (actually I do, but we have no electric, so it amounts to the same thing), I boil the water on the stove in a glass teapot. I then pour the hot water over the tea bag and brew it for a while to make tea (I know, I am stating the obvious here, but I want to make the point clear.). Now, when I go to the office, I take some tea bags, from the very same box of bags that I use at home, so that I can have my tea-fix there, as well. But, at the office, there is only a microwave to use to get hot water. So, I fill my mug (which I have used at home for this, too) with water and heat it in the microwave to boiling. I remove the mug with the hot water and insert the tea bag and -- the water fizzes! This does not happen with the stove-boiled water, but does happen every time I use the microwave. I had wondered about the chlorine difference, but the water at the office is run through a Brita-filtered pitcher, which is supposed to remove that. But, maybe it doesn't. Has anyone else ever noticed anything like this? Is there something obvious I am overlooking? Have I nothing better to do with my time than to think about this sort of thing? I asked a friend of mine who is a professor of geophysics and he has no answer -- other than that I am imagining it. (Of course, after he said that I repeated it at his house, with his microwave, and it fizzed there, too. He then said, and I quote, " Hmm. " ) It's not important to life, the universe or anything, but just thought I'd bring it up, since this thread was wandering through the list. Cliff Wycliffe Community Farm Microwaves rotate water molecules, since H2O is H2O before & after, and there is no change there is no change. This microwave effect is different than the microwave effects on carbon:carbon & other carbon bonds. (Most living matter is made of C H N O P S and there are all kinds of bonding & tetrahedarally shaped bonding orbitals that bring chirality into play. Something else is going on with funny taste but it sure can't have anything to do with a clean boiled water rinse. -sally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I don't know about the pitcher-type Brita filters, but the faucet-attaching type does NOT remove the chlorine exactly, just the taste/odor. So that might be it after all.
