With farm-to-table foods, markets and restaurants popping up everywhere, it’s no surprise more than three-quarters of moms are actively looking for locally sourced options when grocery shopping for themselves and their families, according to a new survey from the National Milk Life Campaign.1 As one of the original farm-to-table foods, milk often originates from dairy farms about 300 miles away from your grocery store2, and typically arrives in just 48 hours, on average, from many family-owned and operated dairy farms. Yet 77 percent of moms surveyed didn’t realize how far their milk typically travels from farm to glass.
Moms may also have misconceptions about what happens after milk leaves the farm, including what is added to the farm-fresh beverage before it goes to consumers. More than one-third incorrectly believe preservatives are added to milk, and nearly 18 percent think sugar is added. In reality, milk is remarkably simple and contains just three ingredients – milk, vitamin A and vitamin D – and no added sugar. Another third of moms didn’t know that pasteurization is the process that kills bacteria – extending milk’s shelf life and keeping it fresher for longer, ensuring it’s safe to drink.

Ese galón de leche que tú consideras como algo principal en tu refrigerador está faltando en muchos de los bancos de alimentos en los Estados Unidos.
Según Feeding America, la mayor organización doméstica para el alivio del hambre en todo el país, la leche es uno de los artículos más solicitados por las personas que acuden a los bancos de alimentos, sin embargo existe una escasez en todo el país ya que muy pocas veces se recibe como donación . Esta situación cambiará muy pronto con el lanzamiento hoy de Proyecto Alimento: Leche para América –The Great American Milk Drive- el primer programa nacional que ayudará a entregar galones de la altamente deseada y rica en nutrientes leche a las familias que padecen hambre y que tanto la necesitan.

While potatoes were introduced to Ireland in the late 16th century, cattle have been in the Emerald Isle since 3,500 BC. And corned beef and cabbage, so beloved in the U.S. for St. Patrick’s Day, is believed to be an American invention.
Dairying enjoys a proud history in Ireland, where there is no industrial farming. Cows still roam free on small family farms and graze in lush Irish pastures. From this extraordinary grass-fed diet comes milk so rich in beta-carotene, it turns butter and cheeses a natural gold.

Los atletas del equipo olímpico de Estados Unidos (Team USA) saben lo que se necesita para formar un campeón: toda una vida de determinación y entrenamiento, innumerables competencias, años de alimentar su cuerpo con los alimentos y bebidas adecuados y el inquebrantable apoyo de mamá y papá. En la actualidad, una nueva encuesta1 llevada a cabo entre más de 1,000 atletas estadounidenses olímpicos y paralímpicos, activos o ya retirados y también entre aspirantes, encontró que casi todos (nueve de cada 10) crecieron tomando leche en su camino hacia el escenario mundial. Ahora, a Milk Life Lo Que Nos Hace Fuertes le gustaría ayudar a alimentar al campeón que todos llevamos por dentro mediante la promoción “Levanta tu vaso, forma un campeón” (Raise A Glass, Build A Champion).
Los miembros del “Team USA” que participaron en la encuesta clasificaron una dieta saludable más que su intenso calendario de entrenamiento como un factor clave para su éxito. Ellos buscan la combinación adecuada de nutrientes para ayudarles a obtener lo máximo de su entrenamiento, y eso incluye proteína, tal como la proteína natural, de alta calidad, que se encuentra en la leche. De hecho, los Centros de entrenamiento olímpico de Estados Unidos sirven decenas de miles de galones de leche cada año a los atletas que se encuentran entrenando en los más altos niveles.
