coffeeshakes:
I figured I should write down what happened today, before I forget or before too many stories get muddled together.
My friend, my partner, and I arrived at Zucotti Park around 3 for the march, which began quickly, after everyone shared various rules. (No violence, write the…

Reduce, Reuse, Regurgitate →
Japanese scientist use proteins found in sewage mud to create edible proteins as meat substitutes.
Although I agree with the ingenuity of the research, and the idea of having less animals for meat, and the concept of reusing waste, I would think twice about eating this meat. Proteins have be reused from many sources to create “meat”, hence textured vegetable protein. However, I...

23 Tools To Brainwash and Influence People Through... →
heartmindspirit:
1. The key to truly effective brainwashing is to work at people’s most fundamental awareness. Shape them at the neurological level so they develop the faculties to take your input and call it “thinking for myself.” Enable them to stop thinking.
2. Limit any and all faculties for self-awareness and self-sensing. Destroy instinct and intuition. Actively and endlessly encourage...
Why being a foodie isn’t ‘elitist’ →
During the past 40 years, our food system has changed more than in the previous 40,000 years. Genetically modified corn and soybeans, cloned animals, McNuggets — none of these technological marvels existed in 1970. The concentrated economic power now prevalent in U.S. agriculture didn’t exist, either. For example, in 1970 the four largest meatpacking companies slaughtered about 21 percent of...

WatchSome of you may be familiar with Dr. Andrew Wakefield who published an article in the Lancet a few years back that stated vaccines can cause autism. His findings were withdrawn. Many say it was because of unethical methods, and that later got translated into ‘fraudulent’ material. Whatever you may think about Wakefield’s study, it caused a stir among parents to not vaccinate...

I'm no longer fit for academic settings.
adailyriot:
i’m tired of the b.s.
I find it hard to be in a college setting as well. I find that my intellect is much different from the student body. And when I make comments and raise questions and challenge the regular school of thought, I am showered with negative comments and the unwillingness of peers or professors to simply step out of their ego, and even consider a different side....
The Newest Dangerous Sweetener to Hit Your Food... →
Neotame is bad science brought to you by the Monsanto Company.
…Monsanto also has now sold the NutraSweet Company to someone else, but the approval of neotame came under Monsanto’s ownership, and was most likely a result of Monsanto’s cozy relationship with the FDA. More about that in a minute.
…Many people actually consider the FDA to be a “subsidiary” of the Monsanto Company. It sounds...

Democrats attempting to pass Food Safety Act by... →
The U.S. government wants to know where your greenhouse is. Under Senate Bill 510 — which is now back in the hands of the U.S. Senate after the House hid an amendment in an appropriations bill and passed it last night — American food producers would be required to register their facilities with the U.S. government. The feds, it seems, want a database of food growers so they know...

CDC and ADA Now Advise to Avoid Using Fluoride →
morningstar:
Fluoride is hard to escape in the USA. Its small enough that it cant be filtered with basic activated carbon water filters, and is found in most of our drinking water. We have to spend more money to purchase food that isnt toxic and actually contains usable nutrition. We have to spend more money to purchase water distillers to purify our water not from biological dangers, but from...
The Hidden Hazards of Microwave Cooking →
The purpose of this report is to show proof - evidence - that microwave cooking is not natural, nor healthy, and is far more dangerous to the human body than anyone could imagine. However, the microwave oven manufacturers, Washington City politics, and plain old human nature are suppressing the facts and evidence. Because of this, people are continuing to microwave their food - in blissful...

Sea Turtle Herpes Tumors Linked to Sewage? →
Nitrogen-rich runoff from sewers and farms is fueling a rise in invasive seaweed that, when consumed by the reptiles, may trigger an otherwise dormant herpes virus. This virus in turn causes the often fatal growths.
Monsanto Candidates Win Election →

Monsanto darling Bill Northey, who was just reelected as Iowa’s Secretary of Agriculture, also has a history of financial ties with Monsanto. Northey, a Republican with a strong allegiance towards biotechnology, unsustainable industrial agriculture, and genetically-modified organisms (GMOs), beat out Francis Thicke, a Democrat who operates an organic dairy farm and believes in...

5. for this most likely to be prepared meal do you have...
