  I have to agree with everyone here - I LOVED the old Grist page, it was a joy to visit, now it just kind of annoys me, like most other web pages. Also it seems to take a long time to load anything, but I realize it's still beta and hopefully that will improve?  I used to really enjoy the rotating banner on the front page, which is gone, now, too. Why fix what isn't broken? sad... :o(

  I was also disappointed by this article... There is a lot of literature available on the benefits of raw milk, the proponents of which are not zealots at all, unless you consider people wanting control over their own food and bodies to be zealots. This is a very rich source of collected research:

  I'm sure many of you - including you, Umbra? - are aware of Weston A. Price and his research on the benefits of traditional foods. His original book, "Nutrition and Physical Degeneration," while technical and rather archaic, is well-researched and fascinating. And thumbs up to the mention of Nina Planck's "Real Food," which got me interested in all this real/fake food business in the first place. Also check out anything by Mary Enig, PhD, a chemist who's done a lot of research on fats. Thanks for all the intelligent posts - always a pleasure :o)On Umbra on raw milk posted 10 months, 2 weeks ago 20 Responses
