I'm Jane Pauley and this is Sunday morning lazy Sunday morning. You may have just added some tea or coffee or poor, a little milk into your bowl of cereal or did you these days.

Plenty of bottles and cartons on the supermarket shelf are labeled milk but are they really you might say the debate over what actually constitutes milk is a fluid one as Serena all shoulder report in our cover story you may have noticed a lot of new products in the dairy aisle made from everything but milk. The milk black smoke, soymilk, almond milk, God only knows how many different versions almost endless none of them are milk, so who owns the word milk and who gets to use it while it's a bit of a food fight later on Sunday morning.

We got larger and what is the author of the handmaid's tale, a harrowing vision of an oppressive future is made for a disturbing television series, the sequel to her novel is out this week but not before she talks without Martha Tyson so in the spring. You got the migrating warblers. It's hard to believe this nice lady is famous for scaring the living daylights out of people's will serve the leaders of the faithful. Did you fully intend the handmaid's tale. What does it matter what. I fully intended or not it is a warning break a leg later than Sunday morning. We catch up with Margaret our Sunday Journal this morning is from correspondent Randy Enos NCO all about the months of protests that have rocked China Hong Kong has a long and complicated history and now must reconcile its colonial past with an authoritarian future, but it's never seen a summer like this. We don't fight the future for us morning Erin Moriarty looks at the origins of the me to movement James Brown profile Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, the NFL's highest-paid football player Steve Hartman tells us about a most agreeable handyman and more coming up when our Sunday morning podcast continues our Sunday morning make-believe cow, one would expect real milk to come from this bogus bovine milk course so it's called OR so I our cover story as reported by Serena all show. Every meal is good for you makes when you just couldn't drink enough milk dairy was considered one of the four major food groups which, in the era before widespread duration made man something of a national icon.

In fact, milk was considered so important that in the late 1930s the government legally defined and an evocative edge is in cultural economist at Cornell University the wholesalers a couple hundred words. But the key sentences. Milk is the lobule secretion from the call milk from the Milk for Mattel that's that you can't be almond and call yourself milk no no and you can put all the oil in there and say some, milk with palm oil.

Let's not know I 1990. American was drinking some 30 gallons of milk a year taste great and it's good for you because soon after became America's public health enemy number one, which gave rise to those familiar free and highly processed foods and some new labels in the dairy chest sales of lower fat milks like 1% 2% and skim were on the rise, while sales of whole milk declined and that was just for starters today. Dozens of beverages call themselves milk. Some made of soy others almond cashew rice hemp coconut flax codes and even peas and no rain left Michelle Simon is Executive Director of the plant-based foods Association is all about helping natural products West largest tradeshow world 85,000 people showed up in Anaheim, California later this year that we know they are more is a lot of spell remotely with the science just blurting down with only company in the world is like.

In death, blurting down those liquid owes 25 years. Tony Peterson is CEO tried all of them. I'd like to says recent demand for it has been explosive growth was like 60% less. Hundred percent. This is something Sears US cafés supermarket 2000 by last year it was so popular that we couldn't keep up with demand and by December. People were paying crazy amounts for it online. We can make enough so you had nothing to do with that. You didn't pull back supply and create a crazy demand but we sure this were not the smart sweet all milks are created equal plant-based beverages often have to be fortified have the same nutritional value as cows milk many plant-based milks have oils, preservatives and emulsifiers to keep them from separating and added sugars to make them taste better and some question whether it's fair to even call them milk at all. Her retail consumer is not know groups when Jerusalem's coconut juice sorted through is not well sold very well. Emory is an organic dairy farmer in Little Falls, New York very hot right now all those farmers when we speak all been working as a lobbyist so sword your goal is that you want to say my product is good, but you still want to use my phone respond what to call plant-based beverages has become a question for lawyers and regulators in 2014 Oakley was sued by the Swedish dairy industry.

Farmers argued that Oakley denigrated milk with its advertising slogan is like milk but made for humans.

And they didn't like that, no problem, right, this nothing like that is not true that they went they want absolute in this country. Lawsuits trying to stop plant-based foods from putting the word milk on their label have been unsuccessful. But now the FDA is taking a closer look at just what makes milk, milk, after receiving more than 13,000 comments on the issue you think will be a reversal. You know, maybe, for example number one brand of border states as Land O Lakes Little League sells mortar. They don't call it foreign border or shortly border the call it a different name.

One of the big things. It's just astonishing is FDA has said for decades.

We don't think this is a case of fraud because consumer thinks that you get milk from almond or soybeans. Let me know what's going on with the service where people have said all I thought it was like no almond flavored's not whatever you call it, it's been a good time for alternative milks.

Consider this three years ago Elmhurst dairy New York City's last remaining processor closed its doors changing consumer habits will force it to close barely a year later, the brand returned, this time offering more than a dozen nondairy milks the river of about 95 years, but I like to say we were founded in 1925, established in 2017.

Even though recent research suggests whole fat milk doesn't actually make you fat Americans today are drinking this 37% less milk than 50 years ago.

In fact, over the past half-century. United States has lost 1 million dairy farms Timothy Demaray's may be the next to go. He grew up on the farm and until recently thought someday his son take over the price will drop away to Jesus moment. I'm glad the one come home more revolvers next generation. So if you anyone looking for an idyllic 800 acres state-of-the-art organic milk farm Demaray's is up for sale now page from our Sunday morning on September 8, 1930 89 years ago today Blondie comic strip first body pages created by cartoonist Chuck Young. The strip originally portrayed Blondie as a jazz age and dag. What is a carefree label but in deference to the worsening Great Depression. They were transformed just a few years later, and will humble married couple with dag would force to take an office job under the tyranny of the dyspeptic minister to others. Dag Woods anxieties occasionally eased by the creation of one of his towering dag would sandwiches along the way, Blondie and dag would have occasionally broken out of the page. Between 1938 and 1950.

They started a comic strip.

There were two Blondie TV show CBS series in 1968 and 69 Patricia Hardy and well Hutchins in the title along with Jim Bacchus yourself personally.

Still, it's on the comic pages the Blondie and dag would have made their true home, a place of quiet laughs and jaw breaking sandwiches that endures to this day. Margaret Atwood is the author of the handmaid's tale whose harrowing vision of the repressive future has made for a disturbing TV series for SQL is out this week but not before she talks with our Martha Tyson or (! Handmaid's tale, you picked up eight Emmys for 2017. The off TV show may waive the stage wearing made the applause, the standing ovation spoke the holy novel inmates are essentially six slaves. You girls will serve as leaders of faith forced to bear children for our Julia totalitarian dystopia. The United States has become.

After being by Christians, shadowy figures, handmaid star Elizabeth season one scary went with her.

Toronto church Jim scene was shot. How many times they shoot scene four times. Ms. loving Elizabeth. I had to keep shooting as I wasn't doing it vigorously will just looking at the handmaid's outfits. What did you have in mind thought them up. The concealment of the body. Number one in the limitation of the body. Number two, so other people can't see you, but you also can't see other people so that they will Dutch cleanser package from 1940s that show this Dutch woman voluminous blue dress, but with the big white hat television from my childhood outside the church is recognized by teenagers attending day. Break a leg and 79. She is Canada's most famous living writer. She's published 60 books but the handmaid's tale has overshadowed the others in English it sold over 8 million copies.

She began the book in West Berlin in 1984 symbolic here because of Orwell and how could I be so corny as to have begun the handmaid's tale and that year I couldn't help but what made you want to write it. So there I am in in West Berlin. Surrounded by the wall and I'm visiting various totalitarian regimes and against Germany and Czechoslovakia, and Poland.

So for instance charge has given Rumania made a law that women had to have four babies and they had to have pregnancy tests every month and if they were pregnant. Why not in the book and show no matter how bad do you mean you made the stuff of the human race made it up.

Unfortunately, and did you fully intend handmaid's tale to be a warning. What does it matter what. I fully intended or not it is a warning you felt the need to create this one simply because I have never believed it can't happen here. I've never believed about and more and more people are joining me in that lack of belief, beginning in 2007 women all over the world began taking the rest handmaid in the belief that fiction was indeed becoming especially the restriction of women's right today you see the costume you know what it means it's leapt out of Atwood's book into our politics. I don't really expect things I make educated guesses about possibilities but I'm not a prophet, and if I were in a go to gambling I would do that a lot richer. So in the spring. You got the migrating warblers for more than 30 years she spent her summers on the island in Lake Erie. The southernmost point in it is an important sanctuary for migratory bird.

She helps to pay for conservation efforts on the island.

I've always been amongst the biologists and conservationists. Margaret Atwood actually lived in the woods as a child with her family.

Her father was an entomologist he was studying infestations so things that cause large numbers of trees to die so you are way way up and we were way up in northern Québec and then we were way up north Lake superior.

When did you decide you needed to be a writer. I decided that I was a writer.

Sounds like a strange thing to say but I decided I was one when I was 16. She's done a lot of writing here. The island why is it such a good place to live. Nobody calls no interruption. Did you write the new book.

Some of it Testaments a sequel to the handmaid's tale will be published on Tuesday. Initial print run half a million copies.

Can you give us any hints so we know her, but one that Gilead and we don't know how little closer to knowing how is their hope in the second book what you want to give away the funds of hope so. Tons and lots and lots of hope in this whole process and the explosion sets its ripples culture. What are you most proud Canadian we don't do proud of. What do you do less embarrassed by special demand and need to pull off a handyman special of all time and Steve Hartman just may have met him.

There is a superhero in Pittsburgh, a mild-mannered guy funny looking girls around town. Striking happiness in the hearts of hundreds if I can go out and help people and have them experience what love is just between neighbors like that sweet horse, 270 29-year-old John Potter is ahead of demand by trade, but he doesn't charge for most of what egos started up the pizza delivery guy with no way to deliver 1 Electric Scooter Guy Way disc. John is always the risk actually it's there in the back way just like the same person. Margie Royko is willing to help anybody with whatever size probably might take me a day.

Honestly John finds his rescue trees on red people who have a window broken out or can afford the roof or maybe just want help moving John does it all for total strangers took a huge brace which he started doing this for years ago after woman approached him with this gas station hey can I get a ride to the battered women's shelter or play money for the bus in your answer. I said no, sorry.

It was a response he regretted almost immediately. Yeah that haunted me right from the start. John vowed from that day forward he would say yes to anyone who asked for help, no matter what they needed and so far he's got about a thousand good deeds is been scammed doesn't know quite frankly it doesn't give because I want to give this for me in. If anything, I go to bed and I feel happy, happy but not will check okay.

Typically, John has just a few hundred dollars to yet he continues to sometimes walk more than just demand services. The car after the kidney surgery kit with anything that's right. John has now moved on vital organs last month. Michael Moore another total stranger got John's kidney. This is not fixing somebody's unbelievable act of kindness. Michael says the best gift ever. But not only for the obvious reason because you find out that there's other people in the world care strong message, a message that John says is only going to get louder really give a piece of my liver know if the grave is home plate. I want to come sliding into it at this point, you know where the minimum organs you might find me on my strange addiction, like addicted to helping others.

There certainly were slices nearly 2 years since allegations of sexual misconduct against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein led to the me to movement this morning. Erin Moriarty of 48 hours.

Take stock with the journalists who broke the story. This is one spectacle that Harvey Weinstein never wanted to produce his upcoming criminal trial on sex charges, now scheduled for January. It could be the final act for the 67-year-old disgrace movie mogul who has already lost his business, his marriage and his Midas touch, in large part because of the work of two New York Times reporters, journalism, stepping in where other systems have failed and one passionately pursued managed for any years allegations anybody finally stopping in a series of articles beginning in October 2017 Megan Tilly and Jodi Kantor told stories of how Harvey Weinstein had even force women who work for them into unwanted physical contact.

Nobody was in sexual harassment. Even the most famous shiny women and celebrities including people like Ashley Scheid and Gwyneth Paltrow had been victims of this self. Weinstein is really sad all the encounters were consensual in a new blog counterintuitively go into detail about what they uncovered and how difficult it was to get women who said they have been victimized to go public throw was a source early on. Much earlier than I think.

I realize from reading the article she get much more active role than anybody ever knowing everything for having his party.

Weinstein had been such an important influence story. Paltrow told the reporters began with a meeting with Weinstein in a hotel room when she was in her early 20s. She had a saying here is where you need to show she went to the hotel ram meeting was pretty unremarkable that she says he actually put his hands on her and said let's finish that she refused and later confided in her boyfriend at the time Brad Pitt after Pat confronted Weinstein Paltrow told the reporters that Weinstein became enraged that you are going to school that your whole career if you tell people about Kenny because so that how the creation story.

All of these living with jobs at exactly they were either there to discuss potential roles as actresses or they were junior employees in his company who were there to basically assist him in the course of the workday. Initially, most including Paltrow wanted their stories to remain private. There are so many good reasons not to go on the record with a story like this.

Women often felt like this will become Hollywood sex toy that I don't want to be a part women who where I know that this will be the first Google search results for me for the rest of my life I'll be tainted by this forever. Some women who wanted to talk.

Couldn't Weinstein silenced accusers with financial settlements including nondisclosure agreements like this one.

I think it would be a standard by how incredibly restrictive settlements are women can't tell each other what happened, they can't tell their husband a teller therapist their therapist have to promise to never tell anybody.

Finally, the reporters found a source within the Weinstein Company who would talk when writer then it company accountant had long been deeply troubled by his bosses behavior. Jodi Kantor regularly inside this restaurant just blocks from the Weinstein offices. He gave us some really sensual information in one document helped us a story document was an internal memo written by a company literary scout on November 3, 2015, who described her own harassment and what she heard from colleagues email Weinstein employees she wrote are essentially used to facilitate his sexual conquests of vulnerable women who hope you will get them work.

The notice proves a counterintuitively that when company officials learned about Weinstein's behavior. They did little to stop it ended up being so focused on just the start of a limited view of liability of the company that they sort of ignore the broader moral problem that was in front of and in the end, is the company was destroyed by that moral problem and perhaps more shocking. The reporters say there are famous feminist lawyers who, it turns out when the business of silencing women, helping Harvey Weinstein including lawyer Lisa Bloom who is also the daughter of women's rights attorney Gloria Allred in December 2016. Memo to Weinstein Bloom suggests planting negative stories about an accuser rose McAllen.

Clearly, she must be stopped in her ridiculous defamatory attacks on you. She is dangerous. We can place an article Ray her becoming increasingly unglued. We reached out to Bloom says working for Weinstein was a colossal mistake. She goes on to say, I decided that I would never again represent someone accused of discrimination, harassment or abuse. New York Times investigation spurred a tsunami of stories that took down then once thought too big to fall, but it was followed by a backlash from those who think need to has gone too far. There is absolutely a need to push for the systemic changes that make sure that both the accused and the accusers are adequately protected and they say basis that is even more change to calm because once secrets become public never know what is going to next seven people died and many others were injured in last weekend's shootings and taxes. Some thoughts on the massacre from a woman who confronted the gunmen face to face. Good morning my name is Shauna Saxton. I survived the mass shooting happened Labor Day weekend in Odessa, Texas, a man pulled up next to my vehicle at a traffic light and pointed this out rifle at me.

His eyes were full of rage painfully.

I recognize what was happening and take immediate action. I floored it saving myself, my husband and my grandson doing nothing was not an option because I acted quickly. We were able to get away without harm. This awful experience has changed me things I once believed to be true, have now been brought into question.

Do private citizens need access to weapons as deadly as an assault rifle this question and others like it are a hot topic here in Texas and in other states around the nation. It is a very difficult question. How do we promote public safety while protecting the rights of people who choose to bear arms. The problem by necessity will require compromise from both sides.

No one is going to get exactly what they want. Life just isn't that way.

I learned this lesson. As a young girl with six brothers, but we can look for common ground and be willing to take Congress freaking means. I call on all its members to be men and women action. I implored our leaders to recognize this growing danger for what is an act upon it. If we continue to do nothing. These tragedies will repeat themselves and more lives will lost to the leaders of this great country. I say take up the mantle of the responsibility.

You have been given the courageous stand for those who you represent.

We pray daily for you that you will do the right thing and that you will be honorable in your work.

Indeed, that you will find a solution by which all Americans can benefit. We must take action. We must do something. Doing nothing is not an option.

The people of Hong Kong have taken to the streets again this weekend to protest mainland China's efforts to roll back its freedoms.

Remy Enos NCO has filed a Sunday journal from peaceful protest to firebombs and clinicians. This has been Hong Kong's consumer discontent with the future for us. Jim Eli was smuggled out of China at the age of 13 in a fishing boat. He's now one of Hong Kong's billionaire tycoons supporting the protests with young people leading the way. This movement is going to persist because his boss at the Hong Kong was a British colony for more than 150 years ceded to the UK from China in the 1800s it grew from fishing village to modern economic miracle Rich respected and full of Western law. Claudia Mo works in one of them elected as a pro-democracy legislator Hong Kong people have managed to learn about universal values human rights, democracy, rule will flow like the Hong Kong people just all the tension the roots of the struggle back to 1997 when the UK in the person of Prince Charles and Hong Kong back to China UK and China agreed Hong Kong would be semiautonomous in charge of its internal affairs until the year 2047 is when this city is set to revert to full Chinese rule, but for now, only Beijing has the power to appoint who runs for Hong Kong's chief executive's top leader.

How not with the people Hong Kong, life in Beijing that brought the ball government that inspired you to start getting that bill backed by Hong Kong's chief executive Terry Lahm would've given Beijing power to extradite locals and foreigners in Hong Kong to China's legal system described by critics as corrupt, the protests began in June at first peacefully with the million person March organized by body loan and the civil human rights front. We all know that all will be what you really want to know why life stretched months violence both sides ratcheted up spreading to the legislature airport so the demonstrators demanding the resignation of Carrie amnesty for arrested protesters and independent probe town thoroughly not only protest that normal people every single day. Not everyone champions the protests economy is leading you know a lot of people will lose their jobs.

Regina, it is a pro-Beijing lawmaker supported the extradition law. She also supports the police need a policy will must be to help the government bring back order because Coco is suffering tremendous reputational damage this past week.

Terry Lahm finally blinked. The bill will be withdrawn, but critics say it's too little too late.

Will you still going out to protest fight for freedom. Javid, like many other protesters.

Hope you guys can give me has written will. He keeps it a secret from his family in his backpack with instructions. If he's killed if you die, is it worth it yes doing the right thing is that mother to what they think they have nothing to the faith in Kettering that said to their parents.

All that the brothers and sisters in that rucksack thing that I can't.

There are fears. This could come bloodied climax just across the border.

The People's armed police. China's paramilitary has been moving forces and equipment into place. State media has broadcast troops to staging drills in which they suppress riots, supporters of Beijing say it's just social role as a deterrent shot across the bow, but there are those who still remember what the go and not letting people that know their own people. This weekend protesters again took to the streets, standing up for what they believe they say, no matter the cost. I'm Jane Pauley.
