I really love this video’s message that can be grasp by kids and adults who make the decisions of what we eat - it is a great mix of photography; animation; whimsically and intelligently addressing FOOD in the public schools in America. This is before Pink Slime even which looks like a scary cartoon reality imposed on our lower income families- very inspiring - and one can digest the information w/o a tummy ache ; ) We all have a LOT to learn still - no more fake food ! Keep it real for the future.

Univision News Tumblr: Mexico: The LeBaróns, a family fighting back against violence

NOTES from the other side of the Fence-

I am back in America ; in Arizona with my heart in Mexico -I have great respect and admiration for the PEACE, DIGNITY AND JUSTICE Movement born out of the region of Chihuahua the place I have called my home for the past five years at the hight of the violence that has plagued my community. The story of Julien Le Baron and his family is an important one - and under reported in our American media. I came across  this report and wanted to share it. There is much to learn about our countries inter-relationship ; the effects of NAFTA; the ‘war on drugs’ that is destroying communities and a way of life. I believe in the work towards peace.

Mexico’s movement for “Peace with Justice and Dignity” took another blow this week, after gunmen killed and tortured indigenous activist, Jose Trinidad de la Cruz.

But despite the violence they…

The image of the US/MX border being used as a volleyball net is so poignant. No matter how high or far we build the wall, people will find a way to connect. It’s our nature as human beings. History should have taught us that by now. There are much more intelligent and humane ways to stem illegal immigration than wasting money building an ineffectual wall. Hopefully our politicians will “Wake Up” soon to some more operative solutions. Gil Gillenwater, founder of  www.ranchofeliz.com

From founder, GIL GILENWATER: The Ryerson group was featured on the Agua Prieta – Morning Show. The girls look a bit scared but it was fun. And we all think Alejandro is now a superstar! Next stop for him – “Dancing with the Stars”? It’s mostly in Spanish but a documentary (in English) of the week is now in the formative stages. More on that to follow. ~ Gil
