Horizon Milk & Silk Soy: 20 Reasons to Ride the White Wave into Dean Foods Green. ~ Tara DeAngelis

As a reader of elephant journal, it is likely you have purchased Horizon Organic Milk, or Silk soy milk recently. Who knew they were owned by the same company, White Wave, who is now owned by Dean Foods? I sure didn’t.Even though food companies like Dean Foods are acquiring companies demonstrating Right-Livelihood, like White Wave, it is still disturbing that the industry is moving closer and closer to being monopolized.The loss of integrity in the organic food industry, along with Monsanto’s rising is a eminent crisis that will affect our generation very soon.

How Yogic are Your Tomatoes? ~ Charlotte Bell
by elephantjournal.com on Sep 1, 2011
So as practitioners of Yoga, our job is to educate ourselves about the wider circle of life. Thich Nhat Hanh says that a table is not simply a table. It is an aggregate of many factors. When you look at a table, he suggests, you can also see the tree that provided the wood, the earth that gave the tree life, the rain that watered the tree, the cloud that produced the rain, the person who cut the tree, the craftsman who fashioned the wood into a table.
