MICHAEL SCHMIDT Schmidt is currently in week number 3 of his hunger

strike for food freedom. As a bio-dynamic farmer with passion he challenged

through education and lectures from day one the current industrial farming

system which more and more destroys the cultural identity of rural North

America. He introduced Spelt to the North American market and founded Ontar-Bio

which then became Organic Meadow Co-operative, the largest organic dairy

processor in Canada. In 1992 he started the first Cow Share program for raw milk

in Canada. In 1995 he founded Symphony in the Barn and conducted symphonies,

operas and concertos with world renowned artists.

In 2006 his farm was raided by 25 armed officers, after being arrested he was

charged with 19 offences for breaking the current health and milk laws. In 2010

after defending himself without a lawyer against an army of Government lawyers

he was acquitted of all charges. As a free man he is now spearheading Cow Share

Canada. Her keeps challenging the entire public food politics of government and

policy makers in regards to raw milk.

EDUCATIONAL TRACKS AND SPEAKERS

Tracks offered at this year's conference include several full day seminars on

Friday, November 11: " Nourishing Traditional Diets " by Sally Fallon Morell; " Gut

and Psychology Syndrome " by autism specialist, Dr. Natasha -McBride,

M.D.; " Nutrition and Metabolism " by Seneff, Ph.D.; and a biodynamic

farming track featuring Hugh Lovel, Schmidt and Christy Hemenway.

Saturday's joint session of Mythbuster lectures features experts taking aim at

myths about fats, salts, industrial sweeteners and plant-base diets. A key

speaker is the notable China Study debunker, Minger. The China Study by

Colin has increased the popularity of vegetarianism, yet according the

Minger, the research justifying plant-based diets is significantly flawed.

Other partial day tracks will cover the topics of Children's Health, Gut Health,

Hormone Health and Recovery from Digestive Problems, Vegetarianism and Cancer.

More cooking classes than ever before have been added to the agenda, including

classes on broth-based soups and stews, gluten-free sourdough bread and

traditional food preparation.
