Why winter? That is a tough time of the year to be on any kind of

liquid fast combined with all day outdoor exercise regimen when you

are battling the weather. I wonder if he has ever done just a straight

milk diet? Plus milk generally not as nutritious this time of year,

Should be interesting.

Firstly, it may be only the time that fits with his schedule.

Secondly, he's riding across the South and Southwest, so it's not much

of a winter he's going to deal with. And really, those states would be

brutal to bike through in the heat of summer (especially the deep

south with the humidity). Aerobic activity in cold weather is actually

highly enjoyable if you dress properly. I bike and ski all winter long

(here in Wisconsin) and just love it!

Good point about the lower nutritional quality of winter milk, though.

But I think he's mainly trying to raise awareness, rather than drink

the best milk.

I didn't have in mind just summer, more like spring or early fall. At

any rate, changing his route would be a good idea if he was biking

during the summer.

I enjoy winter activity as well, but not while on a milk fast and

exercising all day long! Summer/spring liquid fasts are a breeze

comparatively speaking. I don't know how he is breaking down the trip

but I'm taking for granted that he will be biking during most of the

daylight hours.

I was thinking more in terms of his personal health since he is

drinking only winter milk and engaging most of the day in an activity

to which apparently he is not accustomed.

It doesn't say that he is doing a liquid milk fast. It says " while eating and

thriving

exclusively on RAW DAIRY. " That could mean milk, cream, cheese, butter, etc.

In the

winter, I eat butter and cheese that was made in the spring/summer so that I get

the

extra nutrition.

Winter milk in the south would be different than winter milk in the north where

I am. Here in

Wis. the cows are inside a lot with no fresh grass whereas in the south, they

can still be

outside.

Yes that is what it says at the beginning, but further down it

suggests that he will only be consuming raw milk.

IIRC, I think Price was pointing out that the nutritional quality of

the grass was different in the winter as opposed to spring. So I'm not

sure it is just a question of being outside.

I emailed the coordinator of publicity for this event. She is also a WAPF

chapter leader in

IL. below is her response.

Hi Carolyn,

Max will be consuming all forms of dairy on

the ride. His favorites are butter, cream and

cheese.

THANKS SO MUCH for helping to spread

the word!!!!

Max will be launching tomorrow. We are

really hoping to gain more and more media

coverage as the rides progress. If you know

of anyone in the Los Angeles area (he will

be concluding in Malibu, CA) that could help

in any way with some coverage or media attendance

that conclusion party, that would be great too.

Thanks again,

Sherrin

P.S. Please don't hesistate to call me at 630-514-7743

if you have something that you need a quick response

to.

Thanks for the clarification

Any word on how this went?
