John, I enjoyed your talk on our confrence call for ICAE / AT&T very much. I would love to chat with you some time about food. I could spend hours talking about what McDonalds and others have done to our way of life. BTW. ..The Tanka bars on your page indicate they are 13oz. Every bar I have ever seen is 1oz. Is this a typo? Some may be offended if they order and get 1oz instead of 13oz bar. May Mother bless and protect you. 1/20/2015 01:26:54 pm
Hi John Two Hawks. I enjoyed the conference call for ICAE at AT&T. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have produced events and fundraising the last couple of years for ICAE/Prairie Winds Council in the Chicagoland area (Hoffman Estates) Illinois. Through ICAE I had the privilege of fundraising for Trickster Art Gallery in Schaumburg and the American Indian Center in Chicago. I met Adam Kessle who wrote the book "Zombie Gardening" (finding foods that are considered "wild" that is edible). I also produced an event for both ICAE and Trickster Art Gallery on "Zero Composting" featuring Mindy Agnew who is degreed in waste management and composting including worm composting. It has been a great journey thanks to ICAE and speakers like yourself. I look forward to learning more form your talks. Thank you, Dawn
