Movie Night Features Isadoora Theatre Company in a Live Play Reading, Jan 26
Members of Door County’s community-based Isadoora Theatre Company will read from the play “The Member of the Wedding,” written by Door County Reads author Carson McCullers on Thursday, January 26 at 7 pm.
The Member of the Wedding continues in the tradition of Carson McCullers’ breakthrough novel, The Heart is a Lonely Hunter. Directed by Henry Timm,“The Member of the Wedding,” reveals 12-year old Frankie, who is friendless, excluded by peers and family and searching desperately for a “we.” Frankie longs for a chance to abandon her life and become someone new, a member of something larger and more accepting. The cast of readers includes Door County community theater favorites Madelyn DePrey, Edward DiMaio, Mary Hall, Chris Milton, Katie Lott Schnorr and Chris Weidenbacher.
The characters reveal their skeletons in a way that doesn’t separate the reader from their pain; instead compelling contemplation of one’s own experiences, dreams and disappointments, while staring in gawky horror at the recognizable similarities. With a combination of hope, hopelessness and callousness, the story explores why people exclude others, and what happens when they do. And yet, McCullers also manages to allow the reader to envision the future; to imagine a world where wounds are healed and scars start to scab over and fade away.
Greens N Grains Natural Foods & Deli in Egg Harbor will be the venue for this reading. There will be an optional natural and organic dinner special served at 6 pm for $7.50, followed by the play reading. Reservations are required for the dinner-and-play reading. There is no charge for those coming just for the 7 pm play reading, but reservations are still requested, as seating is limited. Call 920.868.9999 to make your reservation.
Greens N Grains Natural Foods and Deli is open daily from 10 am – 5 pm – except on movie nights when they will remain open until 9 pm – in downtown Egg Harbor at 7821 Hwy 42, and can also be reached by email at info@greens-n-grains.com.

Six Degrees Could Change the World, Next Film Screening at GNG, Thursday, January 12
“If the world warms by six degrees, oceans will turn into marine wastelands and natural disasters become common events.”
In 2001, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released a landmark report projecting average global surface temperatures to rise between 1.4 degrees and 5.8 degrees Celsius (roughly 2 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit) by the end of this century.
Based on Mark Lynas‘s Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet and narrated by Alec Baldwin, the National Geographic’s film Six Degrees Could Change the World illustrates, one poignant degree at a time, the consequences of rising temperatures on Earth. The film illustrates the changes with real-world examples from the bushfire-ravaged suburbs of Southern Australia to the drought-stricken farmlands of Nebraska to the rapidly melting glaciers of Greenland. In this amazing and insightful documentary, National Geographic Also, learn how existing technologies and remedies can help in the battle to dial back the global thermometer. In the narrative, aerospace engineers, marine biologists and ordinary citizens share their experiences and predictions.
“In the end, it’s the actual events – rather than the speculative scenarios – that prove most alarming, like the 30,000 deaths that resulted from 2003′s European heat wave,” says reviewer Kathleen C. Fennessy. “While a skeptic might dismiss that tragedy as a statistical anomaly, every continent bears the scars of climate change like the deforestation of the Amazon and the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina.”
In order to inject some levity, Six Degrees also takes a few detours to look at a British grape grower who has actually benefited from his country’s drier environment and the carbon footprint involved in the creation of that all-American favorite, the cheeseburger (suffice to say, it’s considerable).
Greens N Grains Deli hosts a natural and organic dinner special each evening before the Film Society screening.

Detroit’s Urban Farming Revival next Film Screening at Greens N Grains Deli, December 29

Shepard Fairey AP print
Urban Roots is a timely, moving and inspiring film that speaks to a nation grappling with collapsed industrial towns and the need to forge a sustainable and prosperous future… the next Green Door Film Society Screening at Greens N Grains, Thursday, December 29.
The city of Detroit has been unearthing its Urban Roots in a massive reclamation effort, but it’s not old homes and buildings that are being restored. It’s farm land in the heart of the city! Produced by Leila Conners (The 11th Hour) and Mathew Schmid, directed by Mark MacInnis, Urban Roots follows the urban farming phenomenon in a city that is suffering from economic stagnation and decay.
“After making The 11th Hour, it was clear to me that the oft-quoted saying, ‘think globally, act locally‘ was the key to solving our environmental crisis,” says producer Leila Conners. “When the story of the urban farmers in Detroit was brought to us, we knew that what they were doing – acting decisively and caring for themselves and their community – basically healing themselves and their neighborhoods through growing food, was that kind of local action that can make the world a better place so we committed to bringing their story to the world.”
“All my life, I watched the decline of the city, and suffering with it were all of us who’d hitched our hopes to the great American industrial dream of making cars for the greatest country on earth,” says director Mark MacInnis. “I never got to see Detroit in its true heyday. But I knew enough to know what it meant to lose that.”
“Wherever there is grass, there is a chance to put food on the table. And where there is a chance to put food on the table, there’s a chance for a new start. Now, all around the city of Detroit, a growing movement of urban farmers is changing the way people think about food—and life in the “D”. It took men like Henry Ford, William Durant, and Lee Iacocca to build this city, but it’s taken a bunch of strong willed self-taught urban farmers to save it.”
“Urban Roots is an inspiring film about the emergence of urban farming in Detroit; it shows what’s possible after the collapse of the industrial era and how we begin building a sustainable future for all.” – Leonardo DiCaprio

Temple Grandin Film Featured Next at Greens N Grains Deli, December 15
Temple Grandin is autistic… she is also an American doctor of animal science, a professor at Colorado State University, a bestselling author, and perhaps the best known scientist in the humane livestock handling industry
And that’s not because her name was mentioned 7 times in the last Grammy Awards. Grandin believes it is her autism that provides her with a unique insight into the feelings of farm animals.
Born in 1947, Grandin was diagnosed as autistic at a young age due to her inability to speak or function socially like other children. Her life is the subject of the next Green Door Film Society screening at Greens N Grains Deli in Egg Harbor on Thursday, December 15.
Claire Danes, who plays Temple Grandin tells us before the credits start to roll that she’s, “not like other people.” Temple’s mother, played by Julia Ormond, explains in the movie that, “She is different, not less.”
It was not without great difficulty that Grandin went on to accomplish much more than a great number of “normal” folks, not to mention those challenged by autism. The doctor who diagnosed her at age 4 said she would never talk and she should be institutionalized. Her mother was told that it was a “lack of bonding” with her child that might have caused the autism. Grandin’s lack of social skills and sometimes violent reactions to the overstimulation in her environment made it tough to fit in.
“Danes, who is in nearly every scene of director Mick Jackson‘s film, is remarkable, embodying Grandin’s various idiosyncrasies (such as talking, too loud, too fast, and too much) without resorting to caricature,” says reviewer Sam Graham. “Jackson does a marvelous job of depicting not only her actual accomplishments, but also her more abstract talents, especially the extraordinary visual acuity that enables her to remember virtually everything she’s ever seen. This is mostly Danes’s film, but the whole cast is top-notch, especially Ormond, Catherine O’Hara as Temple’s aunt, and David Strathairn as one of the few teachers who saw Grandin’s potential. Captivating, compelling, and thoroughly entertaining, Temple Grandin is highly recommended.”
The film depicts how Grandin took the ‘squeeze machine’ created to ‘gentle’ upset cattle and adapted it for herself, using it to replace the hugs she never got as a child. Later on, she would revolutionize the systems used to prepare cows for slaughter, as well as the design of the slaughterhouses themselves.

Forks Over Knives, Thursday Evening RE-Screening by Green Door Film Society, Dec 8
On Thursday, December 8, Forks Over Knives, the film revered as a “great movie” by New York Times columnist Mark Bittman, will be re-screened for local film critics to review and discuss at the first of this season’s meetings of the Green Door Film Society.
Research done by two world-renowned experts, biochemist and co-author of The China Study, Dr. T. Colin Campbell Ph.D., and internationally-acclaimed physician and author of Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., not only convinced former president Bill Clinton to treat his heart disease in a new way, but also led to the production of a life-changing documentary film, Forks Over Knives.
America is suffering from a health epidemic – Heart disease, cancer and stroke are the country’s three leading causes of death and the medicines prescribed to remedy these and other diseases cost this country over $120 billion dollars each year. Recent research proves the correlation between these deadly diseases and the amount of meat, dairy and processed foods we consume. Take a first-hand look at the amazing physical and medical transformations that chronically ill patients undergo after adopting a whole food, plant-based diet.
Forks Over Knives examines the profound claim that most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that afflict Americans can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting animal-based and processed foods. The major storyline traces the personal journeys of Dr. T. Colin Campbell, a nutritional scientist from Cornell University, and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, Jr., a former top surgeon at the world renowned Cleveland Clinic. Inspired by remarkable discoveries in their young careers, these men conducted several groundbreaking studies and their separate research led them to the same startling conclusion; degenerative diseases like heart disease, Type 2 Diabetes, and even several forms of cancer, could almost always be prevented – and in many cases reversed – by adopting a whole foods, plant-based diet.
In addition, cameras follow real-life patients who have chronic conditions from heart disease to Diabetes. Doctors teach these patients how to adopt a whole food, plant-based diet as the primary approach to treat these ailments—while the challenges and triumphs of their journeys are revealed.
Forks Over Knives was featured recently on Real Time with Bill Maher, and received special attention on “The Dr. Oz Show” earlier this year when film experts T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D., Caldwell Esselstyn, M.D., Neal Barnard, M.D., Rip Esselstyn, and filmmaker Lee Fulkerson all appeared on the show. The film also partnered with Whole Foods Market and The Engine 2 Diet for more than 40 screenings nationwide, including premieres in Los Angeles and New York, in events that included plant-based meals and expert panel discussions. The film played in Landmark, Regal, AMC and Cinemark theaters in 75 cities throughout the U.S.
The feature film Forks Over Knives examines the profound claim that most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting our present menu of animal-based and processed foods.
“Forks Over Knives is a powerful statement on the future of nutrition as the premiere biomedical intervention for
disease prevention and reversal!” – T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D.

Life Story of Controversial Comic Genius next Green Door Film Society Feature, Dec 1
Stand-up comedian, social critic, satirist and musician Bill Hicks (Dec. 16, 1961 – Feb. 26, 1994) might be considered the Gen X equivalent of Lenny Bruce, both considered to be highly controversial performers whose works are steeped in dark comedy.
Bill Hicks was 16 years old in 1978 when he first started performing stand-up at the Comedy Workshop in Houston, Texas. During the 1980s he toured America extensively and performed a number of high profile television appearances. It was in the UK, however, where Hicks first amassed a significant fan base, packing large venues with his 1991 tour. Hicks died of pancreatic cancer in 1994 at the age of 32. In the years after his death, his work and legacy achieved acclaim in creative circles. In 2007, he was voted the sixth-greatest stand-up comic on the UK Channel 4′s 100 Greatest Stand-Ups and appeared again in the updated 2010 list as the fourth-greatest comic.
A documentary entitled American: The Bill Hicks Story, was produced by Matt Harlock and Paul Thomas, and features archival footage and interviews with family and friends, including Kevin Booth. It premiered on March 12, 2010, at the South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin, Texas but was only released in Europe until recently. This film will be the subject of the next screening of the Green Door Film Society at Greens N Grains Deli in Egg Harbor on Thursday, December 1 at 7 pm.
Devotees of Hicks have incorporated his words, image and attitude into their own creations. By means of audio sampling, fragments of Hicks’ rants, diatribes, social criticisms and philosophies have found their way into many musical works, such as Radiohead’s second album “The Bends” which is dedicated to his memory. Singer/songwriter Tom Waits lists Hicks’ “Rant in E-Minor” as one of his 20 most-cherished albums of all time.
“Bill’s comedy (despite his own claims to the contrary) was not about hate or pessimism. Bill was an unabashed optimist. He believed that most people were good at heart but evil forces were deliberately distracting us all from creating a better world using television, lies, tobacco and alcohol as opiates,” explains the official Bill Hicks Memorial Website. “Bill felt a revolution of thought was coming and that it was his duty, as an emissary of the truth, to bring whatever light he could to anyone who would listen.”
The film was nominated for a 2010 Grierson British Documentary Award for the “Most Entertaining Documentary” category. It was also nominated for Best Graphics and Animation category in the 2011 Cinema Eye Awards. Awards won include The Dallas Film Festival’s Texas Filmmaker Award, The Oxford American’s Best Southern Film Award and Best Documentary at the Downtown LA Film Festival.
“I had a vision of a way we could have no enemies ever again, if you’re interested in this. Anybody interested in hearing this?” asks Bill Hicks. “It’s kind of an interesting theory, and all we have to do is make one decisive act and we can rid the world of all our enemies at once. Here’s what we do. You know all that money we spend on nuclear weapons and defense every year? Trillions of dollars. Instead, if we spent that money feeding and clothing the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded… not one! We could as one race, explore inner and outer space together in peace, forever.”

Order Your Organic, Pasture-Raised Thanksgiving Turkeys by November l6
Thanksgiving tradition upgrade… order and enjoy cooking a delectable, pasture-raised turkey from Greens N Grains this year.
Start planning your best ever Thanksgiving holiday feast with the finest possible main course available… an organic, pasture-raised turkey from Good Earth Farms.
These birds are lean, firm and flavorful because of the healthy and traditional farm environment in which they are raised – outdoors in fresh air with plenty of clean water and uncrowded natural pasture time that is part of their daily routine. The pasturing of turkeys and other poultry at Good Earth Farms allows their birds to live like nature intended. They scratch, eat clover and grass, chase grasshoppers and also receive a ration of Good Earth’s own organic feed mix. No commercial feed blends are ever used, so they know exactly what their birds are fed. This means that Good Earth Farms’ poultry is free from antibiotics as well.
Since it is intended that their birds spend the majority of time grazing outdoors in pastures, they only raise turkeys and chickens during the warm months of the year, maturing them by late September, when they are harvested and flash-frozen. for delivery throughout the upcoming holiday seasons of Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. Occasionally they run out of their natural pasture-raised poultry by Easter (especially turkeys) so it’s good to plan ahead.
Call GNG at 920.868.9999 to order by Wednesday, Nov. 16…
You can request a small, an average or a large-sized bird, with the average turkey weighing in at 13.75 lbs. You can also order whole birds or just breast and drumsticks – all at a cost of $4.99 per lb. Frozen turkeys will be available for pickup at Greens N Grains on Saturday, November 19.
NOTE: “When I recently asked our turkey salesman about the availability of fresh turkeys he looked at me and asked if I really thought that all of the ‘fresh turkeys’ sold at Thanksgiving could possibly be butchered at once and delivered to stores within a few days,” says Kathy Navis. “He explained that regulations actually permit these so-called fresh birds to be held up to 6 months before delivery and still labelled as fresh – as long as they have never been chilled below 26 degrees F. The National Turkey Federation, states that turkey doesn’t technically freeze at 32 degrees F. but at a temperature closer to 26 degrees F, so it’s really more a question of truth-in-labeling that needs to be addressed.”
More about how Good Earth Farms raises turkeys:
Turkey poults (young birds) come to the the farm in mid-summer and begin their days in a brooder. This is a warm place where temperature, drafts, light, and moisture are carefully managed to give the birds a comfortable and safe living environment. The birds remain in the brooder until they have fully feathered, about six to seven weeks, and can handle a Wisconsin summer.
Once out of the brooder, the turkeys have free range of the farm. There are no fences to limit their ranging, only their instincts that keep them close to their shelter, food and water. Predators are kept at bay by the presence of people and dogs.
The turkeys raised at Good Earth Farms are called Broad Breasted Whites. They have a nice plump shape with plenty of meat. They raise hen turkeys because you get more breast meat per bird when compared to toms of the same size. They hope you enjoy eating them as much as they enjoyed raising them.
Is Junk Food Really Cheaper?
The “fact” that junk food is cheaper than real food has become a reflexive part of how we explain why so many Americans are overweight, particularly those with lower incomes.
“I frequently read confident statements like, ‘when a bag of chips is cheaper than a head of broccoli …’ or ‘it’s more affordable to feed a family of four at McDonald’s than to cook a healthy meal for them at home.’ This is just plain wrong,” says New York Times Op-ed Columnist Mark Bittman in: Is Junk Food Really Cheaper?
Supermarket tomatoes may look delicious — smooth, red and unblemished — but for the most part, they taste like nothing at all.
“I think tomatoes in grocery stores are like food porn in the purest sense of the word,” author Barry Estabrook tells Weekends on All Things Considered host Guy Raz. “They tantalize you, they make you think, but they don’t deliver.”
Estabrook is the author of a new book, Tomatoland: How Modern Industrial Agriculture Destroyed Our Most Alluring Fruit. It lays out why supermarket tomatoes tend to taste so bad — and how they got that way. Learn more about the Troubled History Of The Supermarket Tomato in this NPR special feature.

Big pharma has paid US doctors $150m already in 2011
Payola for Prescriptions – Ethical or Not?
Julie Dixon writes…
Think there’s no such thing as a free lunch? Well, think again, my friends! That is, if you’re a physician or nurse practitioner. And a pharmaceutical company wants to be your BFF.
It’s common practice in the pharmaceutical industry for companies to woo potential prescribers of their pills with free meals, gifts, free samples, etc. And you know what? The practitioners are more than OK with it. Ninety percent of NP’s polled in a recent study said it was acceptable practice to attend meals sponsored by drug companies. And very few (around one percent, to be precise) believe the freebies have a significant impact on their prescribing practices. They’re downright outraged by the accusations, actually:
“I blame the pin-striped MBAs, who mistakenly believe that physicians are going to prescribe certain medicines because the company plies them with pens.” – anonymous doctor (source)
But the stats don’t lie. Gifts — even small ones — have been shown to have an impact. Is this ethical? Would you want your doctor prescribing something for you based on the great (free!) dinner he or she was taken out to the week before? Does it really impact consumers (i.e. patients) at all?
One potential way that patients are harmed by these types of practices is in free samples. A doctor is given samples to distribute. Patients take the samples and then when they run out, fill a prescription for the same drug — without realizing there may be cheaper generic alternatives available. The drug company makes more money, and all are happy — right?

Big pharma has paid US doctors $150m already in 2011
by pmlive.com
A report by the Financial Times has claimed a group of pharmaceutical companies has paid doctors in the US almost $150m so far during 2011.
Prepared in conjunction with the data provider, PharmaShine, the figures show the money was paid by pharmaceutical firms, including Eli Lilly, AstraZeneca (AZ) and Pfizer, for doctors’ travel and entertainment expenses as well as education and consultancy fees.
Of those companies who have released data, Lilly is reported to have paid $48m and Pfizer to have paid $42m.
AZ, who recently launched a database containing payments made to doctors and institutions, said $24.7m was paid out in associated compensation for the second quarter of 2011, with $8.1m going to individual physicians and $16.6m going to institutions.
In a post on the company’s AZ Health Connections blog, US compliance officer, Marie Martino, gave reason as to why the company was releasing its data.
She said: “AstraZeneca believes it is important to be open about how we conduct our business, and this new reporting expands on a major initiative announced three years ago to provide greater public visibility into how we do business.”
Around 165,000 doctors have received related payments in 2011 so far, compared to 262,000 doctors who received payment in 2010.
The report comes at a time when US government agencies are preparing guidelines to make the publication of industry support for medical professionals compulsory by 2013.
This is part of ongoing US healthcare reforms as an attempt to allow better, more consistent understanding of the pharmaceutical industry’s relationship with healthcare professionals in the US.
In the UK, the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI) changed its code of practice at the beginning of 2011 to help increase transparency of working practices between the pharmaceutical industry and healthcare professionals to help increase trust.
Companies will have to declare payments to healthcare professionals for services including speaker fees, advisory boards and consultancy, and sponsorship for attendance at meetings on an annual basis. The first declaration will be made in 2013 for payments made in 2012.
