AMERICA’S DAIRY FARMERS: Investing In America’s Future

Investing in Our Children…over the next five years, dairy farmers will invest over $250 million to help fight childhood obesity in schools by supporting access to naturally nutrient-rich products, providing nutrition education and encouraging physical fitness.

Investing in Our Community…the 56,000 dairy farm families and processors generate billions of dollars in economic benefits to local communities.

Investing in Our Environment…in many ways, dairy farmers are the original environmentalists. In the past sixty years, dairy farmers have reduced their carbon emissions by 63%*, the equivalent of taking 32 million cars off the road! And the dairy industry is committed to reducing carbon emissions 25% by 2020.

June is Dairy Month Every day, you invest in your family’s health. You want value and nutrition; dairy products deliver both. Dairy foods, like milk, cheese, and yogurt, are naturally nutrient-rich, providing important nutrients such as protein, vitamin D, potassium and calcium to the diet. Compare the cost per nutrient of dairy products to other food and beverages; you’ll see the enormous value they provide. By investing in your family’s health, you also support your local economy, your community and the environment.

JUNE IS DAIRY MONTH — LOOK FOR THE REAL SEAL to know you are getting a real value. BUY real, natural dairy products.

All other holi- days set a pretty high stan- dard on the scale of impor- tance. And Father’s Day is the slacker of the bunch. Take Thanksgiving, for example.

Both are exorbitant orgies of sugar and commercialism.

WASHINGTON — If you think summers where you live are hot, you should try the Arctic. Seriously. For the past two summers, a record amount of ice in the Arctic has melted, and ON THE it could happen again this year. And just recently, a large ice bridge in Antarctica broke apart. These events have focused more attention on how global warming is affecting the ice cover of the North and South Poles. Since there’s only one OCEAN degree of temperature differ- ence between liquid water and ice, the slightest warming of the climate can have an impact. (Think about it: At 32 degrees, you have an ice cube, but at 33 degrees, you have a glass of water!) We asked some experts about what changes kids are likely to FLOOR? see in their lifetimes as a result of the ice melt.
