Joel Salatin: "Holy Cows & Hog Heaven" - Mar 01,2012

In America, we have the luxury of being able to buy any kind of food in season as well as off-season. To boot, there is an incredible amount of waste because of the assumption that there will always be more. This mentality has been created by the mass marketers and now has lent itself to the rationale that we need to genetically modify our food so that we will not run out. In his best-selling book, Holy Cows & Hog Heaven -The Food Buyers Guide To Farm Friendly Food, Mr. Salatin empowers readers to learn about how our food is produced, what they need to know and why. It takes a true organic farmer to really get the point across about the benefits of growing organics and eating organics. Joel Salatin is an organic farmer from Virginia who talks eloquently about the problems he sees not only as an organic farmer but as a consumer of organic foods. Please visit his farms website, Polyface farms, which is a family owned, multi-generational, pasture-based, beyond organic, local-market farm and informational outreach in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley. Tune in to this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, as host, June Stoyer is joined by special guest Joel Salatin!

Patricia Foreman Discusses Occupy Backyards -One Flock United! - Mar 05,2012

Due to the widespread demand for organic locally grown food, there is a new movement called Occupy Backyards. Gardeners, environmentalists, micro-flockers and chicken farmers alike all know the full value of raising chickens. Chickens are a marvelous member of the farm family because they eat predatory insects which can be destructive to gardens as well as fleas and ticks. They also help to aerate and fertilize soil which is extremely beneficial to maintaining good soil health. To boot, farm fresh eggs are superior to eggs produced via industrial agriculture. Tune in to this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, as host, June Stoyer is joined by special guest, Patricia Foreman to discuss what you need to know to raise your own chickens and join the movement. Stay tuned!

Hogan Gorman: "Hot Cripple" - Mar 06,2012

Most people assume that if you are in an accident, once you arrive at the hospital you will receive immediate attention. While the ambulance may rush you there in a timely fashion, your health insurance or lack thereof may determine how quickly you are treated and to what depth. Hogan Gorman worked nights in New York City as a cocktail waitress pursuing her acting career. She worked hard trying to remain optimistic about her future, often reminding herself how much she “loves her job” even while dealing with inebriated patrons at the club. Given this unfulfilling life-routine, her friend, Aura, advised her to ask the “universe” for change where she worked. Change is definitely what she received! While crossing the street to get to work, she was struck by a car. From the moment her head shattered the car’s windshield, she found that life as she knew it had indeed changed. In Hot Cripple, Hogan Gorman meticulously writes about the events of her accident and life thereafter struggling with dire pain trying to fulfill life-sustaining body functions and daily routines. She writes candidly about her experience with hospitals, doctors and inevitably, her rude awakening with public assistance. Hogan also describes the harrowing experience of shopping for vegan foods with food stamps. Ironically, she finds that unhealthy foods are remarkably more affordable that life sustaining organic foods. Hot Cripple is an eye-opening look at the reality for millions of Americans who at some point may have to rely upon “the system” when there is no one else to turn to.

Kim Barnouin: "Skinny Bitch Book of Vegan Swaps" - Mar 07,2012

Veganism typically is a dietary choice that some people will choose due to health reasons or moral beliefs. It has now become an ideal choice for economic reasons. Thanks to the weak economy, more people are opting for plant based diets because they are spending less by omitting costly cuts of meat, poultry and dairy products. For others that don’t have access to their own organically grown produce or a local organic farmer’s market, it can still be a bit of a challenge. If you have ever fallen off the vegan bandwagon trying to make the switch to a plant based diet because you didn’t know what foods to eat or couldn’t find vegan foods, help is on the way!

Tune in to this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, as host, June Stoyer is joined by special guest, Kim Barnouin to discuss her new book, Skinny Bitch Book of Vegan Swaps.
