Happy World Milk Day
Did you know that June 1st is ‘World Milk Day’? Or, as I think it should be called, WMD? I think this acronym is more than suitable because milk is a Weapon of Mass Destruction — for cows, calves and the environment.
On WMD, let’s remember the 1 million bobby calves who were taken from their grieving Mums, only to be slaughtered as ‘waste products’ of the dairy industry — so that the milk nature intended for them could be fed to humans…
On WMD, let’s spare a thought for the struggling Murray Darling Basin. It takes 200 litres of water to get one glass of milk. Not only is this the driest inhabited continent in the world – our river systems are at record lows. But I’m taking shorter showers while the dairy industry is draining our waterways!
On WMD, let’s think about how we can change things for the better. What better day than World Milk Day to mark the day you ditch dairy?
Going dairy-free is easier now than it’s ever been. Every time you choose soymilk, rice milk, soy ice creams, dairy-free cream cheese, whipped ‘cream’, yoghurts, or any other dairy alternative, you’re helping the cows, the environment and yourself!
Here’s an amazing recipe to get you started… a non-dairy cheesecake (it’s a Weapon of Mass Deliciousness!)

Fever to rise from the Ashes on the iPad
I’ve been using Fever for about a year now and it is an extremely great way to read my RSS feeds, mainly since it is always web based I can read it on multiple devices without having to read the same article twice. However, on touch screen devices Fever (like some websites) just doesn’t feel “right”.
This is where Ashes comes in.
Bringing the first native iPad app built on the Fever API from Shaun Inman’s Fever° webapp1, Ashes is a slick RSS reader that allows you to burn through your feeds by seeing hot, trending topics. Read articles in a built-in browser, send them by email, and save them to Instapaper. Syncing with Fever°, Ashes works perfectly2 online and offline.
Ashes is the best way to keep up on the news that matters most to you.
- 1 Ashes requires you to have Fever°, so go buy it.
- 2 Internet is required for syncing, reading full articles in built-in browser, email, and Instapaper.
So fellow Fever users, keep an eye (or two) out for this when it hits the app store.
In closing, here is a David Bowie singing Ashes to Ashes on the Reality tour.
