Recently the repression of local community dairies has reached a surreal frenzy. How do you feel about raw milk? Do you feel governments are really protecting OUR safety spending so much money to harass small local farms when the biggest killers come from mass production and industrial farming?

Please join us for Phase II of American Gut. During Phase I we raised $339,213, making it the largest crowd funded & open source SCIENCE project in history. World’s LARGEST open-source, community driven effort to characterize the microbial diversity of the Global Gut. All US and International participants welcome (including your dog).
We have now expanded the project and anyone in the world can join during Phase II. Help us reach 10,000 participants!
The University of Colorado and the Human Food Project have assembled a crack team of over 30 experts on the human gut microbiome in order to launch American Gut- an open-source scientific research study into the effects of diet on gut bacteria. And they need our help!
The trillions of bacteria living in and on our bodies have been found to play an integral role in our overall health and the development of disease. What is more, research strongly suggests that the state of our microbiome is largely affected by the foods we eat. The only problem is, that we don’t know exactly how.
“By combining the crowd-funding model with the open-access data analysis model that we pioneered with the Earth Microbiome Project, we can finally give anyone with an interest in his or her microbiome an opportunity to participate,” said Knight, a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Early Career Scientist.

Stage one of mission soy sauce is complete and stage two is well underway. Stage two is the development of mold on the soya bean and wheat cakes.

As I started to write this post, I kept wanting to write: "Fermentation is not commonly used in the West."
