Llamas talk to LOTS of consumers at Food Makeover!

We had a great day educating people at the Maximized Living Food Makeover on Saturday, January 14th.  There were over 120 people in the audience and most of them had no idea arsenic is in their chicken...now they do!

The Food Makeover was a seminar for people who want to learn to eat healthier, learn about organic food, lose weight and eat for peak performance.  Our message fit right in!  We set up our booth at 9:30 am and talked to people as they arrived until the seminar began at 10am. There was a break at noon so more participants could visit our table, read our poster board and hear our message.  The seminar ended at 1 pm when we shared our message one more time as people were leaving.

We distributed over 40 "Buying Better Chicken" guides.  To get one for yourself,  click this link -http://www.iatp.org/files/Buying%20Better%20Chicken042011.pdf This is a 4 page report from the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy (IATP) and it profiles the chicken producers that raise their chicken organically and/or without the use of arsenic and antibiotics.

Consumers were also encouraged to take our "Top Ten Benefits of Organic Free-range Chicken" flyers.  Some of the reasons?  NO ARSENIC, no antibiotics, higher vitamin and omega fatty acid content and better taste to name a few! On the back of the flyers we gave links to websites where they could find free-range organic poultry in the area http://www.eatwild.com/ and for our friends at Highview Pastures http://highviewpastures.com/










Overall it was a great day and we really accomplished one of our main goals...educating consumers! Check out our photos!
