The Board of Education for Los Angeles has voted to rescind its Covid-19 vaccine mandate for all employees, which has been in place since August of 2021. The vote was a response to a lawsuit challenging the school district’s vaccine mandate by Health Freedom Defense Fund (HFDF), California Educators for Medical Freedom (CAEMF), and several named plaintiffs. Leslie Manookian with HFDF is on tomorrow to discuss. HFDF is also responsible for the repeal of the airline mask mandates. ANY QUESTIONS?

The call every farmer dreads but knows will come someday: your cows are in the road.
I got a few “cholesterol is bad for you” comments on my coconut oil homemade chocolate, so I figured I’d repost this interview with Dr. Makary. When people get a high cholesterol diagnosis, the doctor often says “stay away from high cholesterol foods like eggs.” This doctor is uniformed due to massive corporate food & pharmaceutical spending. When someone has high cholesterol, it is almost always due to eating processed carbs/sugars and other inflammatory items like processed seed oils or glyphosate. The body’s natural healing response to this inflammation is to produce cholesterol. Stress can also cause this reaction. Dietary cholesterol is almost 0% of that # you get from the lab. Our bodies, especially our brains, need cholesterol. The bad medical advice is how we got a country where 1/3 of the entire population is on statins and almost 50% of men over 75 take the drug. According to a study done by UCLA, patients studied with early mild cognitive impairment taking ...
Thankfully my dad loves chocolate. Plus he gave me the recipe so we know he likes this kind! I had 34 bars leftover from the farmer’s market. Time to make some more!
I used to work for ABC Action News. I read this article about raw milk, now as a farmer who produces and drinks it. I’ll let you share your opinions of the reporting before I share mine. Does anyone have a suggestion for a raw milk doctor interview?

The spiritual battle in the Amazon is also reshaping the world’s biggest rainforest, environmentalists and indigenous leaders say. Brazil’s evangelicals have forged alliances with right-wing agribusiness groups and landowners who have thwarted moves in Congress to protect the forest.
Missionary activity could accelerate the erasure of indigenous culture, threatening communities that environmentalists say safeguard the Amazon. Deforestation rates in indigenous lands are more than 80% lower than elsewhere in the Amazon, a 2024 study by U.K. and Brazilian researchers showed.
“We’re facing extinction,” said Eládio Curico, a leader of the Kokama people.
