Calcium Deficient

ATTACK!  The vegan activists have signaled their attack earlier this week when an animal abuse video was released.  Fair Oaks Farms was the victim of the vegan attack. Of course, the video was pretty sickening to anyone who watched.  I would like to make a note that June is Dairy Month and the video release was part of a very strategic attack against animal agriculture.  Fair Oak Farms has released a video of their own stating that three of the four employees in the video had already been fired.  The fourth was let go shortly after the video release.

I first noticed the video on Facebook.  A childhood friend who is a lawyer was wondering about the authenticity of the video.  So was another friend.  Both are well educated, moms, and have girls.  I told them to check for commentaries from Food Babe, and also Dairy Carrie. 
So many things scare me about the release of a video like that.  The number one thing that bothers me is people see it, and believe it.  It's on the internet after all.  Secondly, my peers get scared and quit drinking milk.  Trent Loos had a radio show and reminded people why we NEED dairy.
"Today on Loos Tales I remind folks that as we have reduced our consumption of whole milk our public health has suffered.
In the United States found that fewer than 15% of teenage girls, fewer than 10% of women over 50, and fewer than 22% of teenage boys and men over 50 met the recommended calcium intake.

Wow with two teenage girls this certainly hits home.  While I don't think my girls are calcium deficient I can't help but think of all of their friends.  I have also been trying to explain to my girls that their bodies are absorbing calcium for their bones that will be needed for the rest of their lives.  At some point, a woman quits absorbing calcium, which is why many senior ladies have osteoporosis. 
Enough about milk.  Can you believe the weather?  We are heading into an unseasonably cool week.  The wheat keeps trying to change, but then the sun needs to come out.  We have finally planted a little bit of cotton but not too much.   Most of the cotton that was planted in May rotted, and now needs to be replanted.  Some of the cotton from last year hasn't even made it to the gin yet. 
We finished school and the kids are glad to be at home.  I am not sure that they are glad to be helping their dad.  They have been working on changing disks on the drill.  Weston will be turning eight this week.  He wants a remote control truck, a Nerf gun, and some Legos.
