Summarize the following:
The more stimulation that a breast gets, the more milk it will produce, and the larger it will grow. Uneven breasts commonly occur if you baby prefers to feed on one breast over the other, or if you tend to stick to one breast for nursing.  Begin every nursing with the smaller breast if possible. You should notice your breasts starting to balance out after a few days, as the smaller breast begins to produce more milk. Imbalanced and uneven breasts are very common in the first couple of weeks after you give birth, and especially if you are breastfeeding. This is very normal and usually nothing to worry about, but if you are particularly concerned, consult your healthcare professional. Breast pumps are known for increasing breast milk supply, which will make your smaller breast larger. Make sure that you pump the larger breast from time to time too, in order to keep up its milk supply. Pumping can also be useful if your baby has a preference for the smaller breast, and won’t feed on the other side. Try and use each breast the same amount as the other, otherwise the larger one might ended up becoming the smaller one. This will help your breasts to produce similar amounts of milk, and to stay as even as possible. Remembering which breast you start with during each breastfeeding session is a good way to remember to switch it up. Nursing with both breasts equally will help them to even out, but only if your baby agrees as well! Try out a few different nursing positions, as a more comfortable position for your baby could help them to nurse. Another option for breastfeeding with the baby’s less preferred breast is to offer it to them when they are tired. This is because they will be less aware of their surroundings, and hopefully more willing to try out the other side.

summary: Feed using the smaller breast more often. Use a breast pump on the smaller breast after nursing. Alternate between each breast for feeding once they become even. Help your baby to feed with their less preferred breast.


Summarize the following:
There is no "away" to "throw" to. Everything is connected. The three "R"s apply here more than ever: reduce, reuse, recycle. It'll not only be more sustainable, but it's cheaper, too.  Examine every bit of garbage and waste that your operation produces and ask "What else can I do with this?" If you can't do anything to do with it, try to think of ways someone else in the community can use it. Be creative. Choosing "poly culture" over "monoculture" results in less waste and often, reduced fossil fuel consumption.  Use varieties and breeds that are well-adapted to the conditions in your locale, rather than bred for maximum productivity and storage (with a sacrifice in hardiness and flavor). Rotate crops and pasture. Use companion planting and green manures to keep the land perpetually fertile and to prevent topsoil loss. Don't let any one piece of land lose an irreplaceable amount of nutrients. Keep plants and animals around that indirectly benefit the farm's stability and productivity. For example, yarrow and nettles add to the nutritional value of plants grown near them, as well as increase the volatile oil content of plants grown for oils. Plant extra basil to serve as an insecticide, and keep guinea fowl around to keep ticks at bay. As they roam your farm (and the surrounding countryside), guineas eat the ticks left by browsing deer off tall grasses. They are traditionally reputed to kill or keep rattlesnakes away as well. If guinea fowls are not common to your area, try growing ducks (if you have a fish pond) and/or chickens. Chickens can eat crop trimmings and vegetable waste. If they can't eat them all, they claw and step on it, enough to make it into organic fertilizers rich in nitrogen (especially when added to their poop). Raise both livestock and crops, and set up a mutually beneficial relationship between them. The simplest way to do this is to use manure from your livestock to fertilize crops, and use some of your crops to feed the livestock. If you are unable to raise both, find a neighbor who's specializing in the opposite and set up an exchange. The ecology of your farm does not end at the property lines.  Plant trees around the farm that act as windbreaks and also provide habitat for local birds (which can prey on insects that prey on crops). Tolerate natural predators that keep pests at bay (for example, snakes that feed on gophers, ladybugs that feed on aphids, spiders that feed on insects which spread diseases to crops). An ecologically sustainable farming operation won't do anybody much good if it can't generate a profit and keep itself running. Unless you or someone else is willing and able to sponsor the farm with an off-farm day job or another external source of income, you're going to have to crunch the numbers until you're in the black.  Take advantage of the options available to you as far as direct marketing is concerned. That includes: CSA/subscriptions, farmers markets, roadside stands, and even the Internet. Adding value to products is a smart way to differentiate this farm's lettuce from that farm's lettuce. When you take your lettuce and make it part of delicious burger made from healthy meat that was pasture-raised in your own fields and top it with a slice of tasty, red tomato that grew in your own soil, you stand to appeal to a wider audience and rake in more profits. In other words, don't just grow a wider variety of stuff––do a wider variety of things with the stuff you grow, and consider selling it from an on-farm store or restaurant (as well as on the Internet). Cater to every economic level and ethnic group in the community. People of varying wealth seek different things from a farm. Certain ethnic groups value farm products that the mainstream community has no interest in (for example, many Caribbean immigrants seek male, uncastrated goats for meat as well as amaranth, a widespread weed, which they use to make a dish called Callaloo). Publicize. Talk to everyone about what you're doing at the farm. Provide educational tours and workshops. Keep your farm looking nice, because if it ever comes down to it, the local community may fight development proposals because they perceive your farm to be a haven of agricultural heritage. Find people who are committed to sustainable agriculture (not just dabbling in it) and who aren't afraid to get their hands dirty as they apply their minds. A reduced dependence on fossil fuels means an increased dependence on human labor, and not just physical, manual labor––you're going to need knowledgeable workers who understand the complexity of the system you're running and can enhance it with every decision they make. Farming is hard work, but the most successful farmers know when to call it a day and circumvent burnout. Remember why you're farming and why, in particular, you're aiming for a sustainable operation. For most people, it's because they like knowing they're leaving land in better shape than they found it.

summary: Eliminate waste. Encourage diversity within the farm. Encourage the diversity surrounding the farm. Diversify financially. Find good, reliable labor. Enjoy your life.


Summarize the following:
Rinse the pork well in cold water. Trim off any excess fat using a sharp knife. Roughly slice the onions. Place one sliced onion in the bottom of the crockpot. This will prevent the meat from burning. Place the roast on top, then cover with the second onion. Pour the ginger ale over the pork and onions. Cover the pork and cook on low for approximately 12 hours. Depending on the size of your pork and the type of crockpot, you may need to adjust this time upwards or downwards. When it's cooked, you should be able to shred the pork easily with a fork. If you cannot, it probably needs more cooking time. When the meat is tender, remove the pork from the crockpot and drain the liquid. Set the onions aside for now. Using two forks, shred the meat, discarding any fat, bones or skin. Most of the fat will have melted away by now. Place the shredded meat and onions back in the crockpot. Stir in the entire bottle of barbecue sauce. Continue to cook on low heat for another 4-6 hours. Serve your barbecue pulled pork with hamburger buns or rolls and additional barbecue sauce. Any leftovers will keep well in the freezer.
summary: Prepare the ingredients. Assemble the ingredients in the crockpot. Begin cooking. Drain and shred the meat. Return the meat to the crockpot. Serve.
