He isolated the beneficial bacteria that turn milk into yogurt, which allowed yogurt to become commercially produced. Today we know these beneficial bacteria also break down lactose, which makes yogurt easy to digest. Before the 1930's yogurt making was a daily ritual of most women who owned a diary animal. Today, yogurt making is far from a lost art and is as simple as ever. By learning to make your own yogurt you can ensure that your own delicious yogurt is made without added preservatives, sweeteners, or thickeners. Come to this RMSLA workshop to learn the ancient art of yogurt making and other information about dairy products.

Seven outstanding writers, garden designers and chefs will share their vision of local food and agriculture, growing edibles in the home garden and celebrating regional food traditions.<br /><br />Denver Botanic Gardens has partnered with Slow Food Denver to present a special tasting at each program this year, highlighting the speaker’s themes and recipes. Please come early to enjoy some of Colorado’s local flavors! A portion of this year’s ticket price will be donated to Slow Food Denver to support their education and advocacy programs.<br /><br />The first lecture will take place on February 18.

That day was a huge accomplishment for this movement – but it was only a first step.<br /><br />You can be part of our next one. Congress isn't planning to make progress on child nutrition programs until the beginning of next year. We have until then to show our leaders that kids and parents across America are hungry for change.<br /><br />We're going to do it by sending thousands of letters — especially letters written by kids — to our legislators' district offices over the next few months. Slow Food USA chapter leaders across the country have already gotten started, and together they've sent in over 1,300 letters. It's time for everyone to pitch in.<br /><br />Help us spread the word about letter writing, and get involved in the next phase of the campaign.<br /><br />Through this campaign, tens of thousands of you have invested in America's children's future by organizing and attending Eat-Ins on Labor Day, by donating money and by signing our petition. Thank you.<br /><br />Over the next few months, your participation is as important as ever. If we keep growing our ranks, we can ensure that the 31 million children who benefit from school meal programs are getting the real food they need to grow into healthy, productive adults.<br /><br />Thank you for spreading the word,<br /><br />Josh Viertel<br />President<br /><a href="http://www.slowfoodusa.org/index.php/campaign/time_for_lunch/"><br />Visit the Time for Lunch website to sign the petition, learn more about the subject aand find out how to make a difference</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2767083673022772728.post-55879544107800036032009-11-04T10:05:00.000-08:002009-11-17T15:51:37.461-08:00Much to be Grateful for: Frank Reese's Heritage TurkeysThanksgiving season is upon us and with it the tradition of pulling a glistening turkey from the oven. Turkeys are native to the United States and were once the beloved fowl of Ben Franklin, who considered them a more noble mascot for the United States than the antagonistic Bald Eagle. I was not aware that within the last century many native breeds of turkeys have been pushed to the brink of extinction until I read <a href="http://www.saveur.com/article/Kitchen/Rare-Breed">this article</a>. Kansas farmer, Frank Reese Jr., a long time turkey <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">aficionado, is credited with saving America's heritage turkey breeds. The story of how he preserved the genetic diversity of domestic turkeys is a surprising tale of how easily our food security can slip away in the face of industrial agriculture. We owe a debt of gratitude to Frank Reese and all farmers who devote their lives to supplying us with nourishing, seasonal, and diverse foods in the face of industrial farming. </span>Kelsi Nagyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13003010865817012897noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2767083673022772728.post-1992496251286559632009-11-04T10:01:00.000-08:002009-11-04T10:05:22.730-08:00New: Online Issue of The SnailRead the latest issue of <i>The Snail</i>, Slow Food USA's very beautiful and informative magazine: <a href="http://www.thesnail@slowfoodusa.org">thesnail@slowfoodusa.org</a>Kelsi Nagyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13003010865817012897noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2767083673022772728.post-6056921285597087872009-10-22T10:47:00.000-07:002009-11-04T10:01:46.306-08:00Report: Students Need More Veggies, Fewer Calories: NPRThis <a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=113957492">NPR story</a> does a nice job discussing the state of the school lunch program today and how it may change in the future.Kelsi Nagyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13003010865817012897noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2767083673022772728.post-39232132807217172412009-10-22T10:39:00.000-07:002009-10-22T10:42:10.899-07:00Neighborhood Supported AgricultureThis article about an urban farm near CSU was published recently in Matter Daily. <div><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.matterdaily.org/environment/food-a-farm/55-neighborhood-supported-agriculture.html">www.matterdaily.org</a></div>Kelsi Nagyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13003010865817012897noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2767083673022772728.post-78998029259055554672009-10-12T14:27:00.000-07:002009-10-12T23:20:50.595-07:00Photos of Cache la Poudre's First Event!For our first event we cooked soup from the field to the pot - outside in the snow.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJeK1thFoo_BAwfsykYz4M3Iv5c6qPtXaBNnbvUpvwCqXPxMN1RDE4KM8DzXKaF3xDm6ixW2ptAigJH4t6RxpX4NUvkXZMMsUhkW_vE5FtNp4iBHhLoOaHg2nOCkRzPO5u2pD0OtGCrxNn/s1600-h/IMG_3898%5B1%5D"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391839338118938946" style="DISPLAY: block;

<br />
<br />Wow. It’s been a pretty exciting few days.
<br />
<br />The September membership drive—where Slow Food USA waived our traditional $60 membership fee—was a huge success. More than 5000 people joined Slow Food, over ten times our normal monthly rate. It turns out there was some pent-up demand for lower membership rates, after all, and not just from my fellow non-profit-employed friends.
<br />
<br />Perhaps our most incredible response came from Mr. Donald Sussman. He was so enthusiastic about the positive results that he encouraged us to keep the drive going. And his encouragement was particularly compelling: he has offered to match all new gifts that come in between now and October 15 dollar for dollar.
<br />
<br />As you can imagine, there’s been a lot of excitement and positive spirits here in the Brooklyn office of Slow Food USA. What a welcome break from the grey spirits of a year where we’ve seen dips in charitable giving across the country and so many of our friends deal with layoffs and downsizing.
<br />
<br />If you haven’t yet joined Slow Food, now is the time. Help us maximize this incredible opportunity that Mr. Sussman has given us. And if you have, know that there is an office full of hard-working food advocates toasting you with a glass of locally-grown, seasonally appropriate apple cider.

<br />Interest in ALL types of activities were similarly high, so we have

<br />We now have a series of interesting activities organized for the</span>

<br />
<br />We have already had tables at the Sustainable Living Fair and
<br />Collaborative Conservation Conference, where we interacted with many of you.
<br />Our next event will be held on Sunday afternoon October 11th at Cresset Farm (see below). Join us for good food, fun and good friendship!
