Yerba Mate: Guayaki Company
Would you drink a tea if you knew it helps the people in the rainforest sustain themselves and keep the rainforest intact? Yerba mate does that and Guayaki writes in its' tea boxes about the work that their company does with the rainforest and its' people.It uses the second largest rainforest in Paraguay. The amount of antioxcidants is huge; much larger than in other drinks.
This is another link which shows that Argentenians also drink the Herba mate' in those gourds with the family all around them! It has become avery social drink for sharing with friend and family.
So tell us ; would you try it?

Dutch Producers Provide a Show That Awards Kidneys to Winners ; As a Hoax: Do you Approve?
http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/06/02/dutch-kidney-donor-game-show-was-a-hoax/
On June 2, 2007 these producers talked people in Holland into beleiveing that one contestant would win a kidney.
They did this because there are virtually not many kidney donations in Holland at the moment and they wanted to raise public awarness and governmental awareness of this problem.
They were able to get 12,000 people interested in returning papers to donate kidneys.
Is this method ethical? Should Merican proucers try it for critical shortfalls in our medical world?
tell us what you think!
