There are TONS of great things on the internet. This is the first of our “Found on the Internet” series. Today we are featuring the advertisments for the LA County Fair… because if anyplace could use a county fair, it’s LA.
Organic pie sounds delicious, but I don’t quite think that the ladies who baked this one quite get the idea. Real organic foods must be grown or raised without chemical fertilizers, pest killers (pesticides), weed killers, or drugs. This means that only natural pest killers, such as plant oils, soap, fungus-eating bacteria, or bugs that eat other bugs can be used; and natural fertilizers, such as manure or compost. Farmers cannot use irradiation, which means using X-rays or other types of rays to kill pests, change the way plants grow, or keep produce from spoiling as fast. Animals must be fed only organic food and cannot be given antibiotics or growth hormones.
Some countries, including the United States, have rules that govern when a farmer or rancher may use the “organic” label. Before a grower can use that label, a government inspector goes to the farm to make sure that the rules are being followed. Don’t assume that food labeled “natural,” “sustainable,” or “free-range” is organic. The U.S. does not regulate the use of those labels, so anyone may use them.
What comes from a cow? Milk, obviously, but someone should explain it to these children. Milk and other dairy products are usually high-energy-yielding food products. A production plant for such processing these products is called a dairy. Raw milk for processing mostly comes from cows and to a lesser amount from domestic buffalos , but occasionally from other mammals such as goats, sheep, yaks, camels, or horses.
Cotton Candy is made from …cotton? Real cotton is a soft, fluffy staple fiber that grows in a ball around the seeds of the cotton plant. Cotton candy, however, is a form of spun sugar. It is often colored with food coloring, instead of served it’s natural white color. This treat is often served at fairgrounds or circuses. A typical serving on a stick is at least one ounce and contains about 100 to 115 calories per ounce.
In California, apparently everything goes “moo,” even the free range cashmere. Cashmere wool, is actually a fiber obtained from Cashmere and other goats. It is fine in texture, and it is also strong, light, and soft. Cashmere garments are extremely warm to wear.
