The documentary explosion is here.

Michael Moore set the stage with his 3 films. His first one gave way to such films as “Super Size Me”, “An Inconvenient” Truth” and “Who Killed The Electric Car”. “Sicko” has completed its theater run and is going strong in the rental market.

More and more new films are emerging for limited showings around the country> And usually if they don’t make it to your neck of the woods, you can just buy them. This is one of those.

Since entrepreneuralism is near and dear to my heart, this movie just called to me. Take a look at the trailer. Then check out when (or if) it is coming near you. Lucky for me, Action Institute is a couple hours away.

You’ve got the day off - it’s a national holiday.

The food’s out of the oven and you are ready for some good eatin’.
It’s Turkey Day - and you’re all about Thanksgivings.

The most recent future of food conference has recently concluded. The prediction - the future of bioengineering foodstuff is rosy. Bill Gates’ foundation has taken on a noble effort and funded billions of dollars into feeding the worlds’ less fortunate. They, like you, are being fed food that is genetically altered, that is engineered. But what could be the result of such a practise?

In the short run, bellies are full. In the long run, ecosystems are disrupted and destroyed. This would spell disaster for your health and life as we know it. Already shockwaves can be felt in the ecosystem. Bees are dying, crops are more easily disrupted and destroyed by disease and extremes of weather. Disease and degenerative disorders are at epidemic proportions in America and it’s just getting worse.

Here’s a great little video which will bring you up to speed on how this came about - and what is the future of food.

While I was in medical school, I did research under a March of Dimes grant on MSG (monosodium glutamate), a common food additive. Back then, then damage we saw in rats was reversable IF you stopped giving it to them.

However the case against its use in man is mounting, including one that strongly suggest it has negative metabolic effects and leads to thyroid dysfunction and obesity.

Honda plans to release it’s new version of the hydrogen car in California in 2008. With 68 mpg and burning only hydrogen, this electric vehicle is touted as quite enviro friendly, with its only waste products be carbon dioxide and water.

“You are what you eat!”

As the health of Americans continue to decline, more and more information is being uncovered about how tainted our food supply is. It’s no wonder that disease and degeneration is RAMPANT in America. This has just got to stop!

I’ve always wondered what happened to all the road kill that’s out there. And now I know.

It isn’t a pretty picture.

We’ve all read about cattle being fed animal products; it was front page news. This led to the scourge of Mad Cow disease. However the rabbit hole goes deeper than that.

There has been a quiet storm rising.

Bottle water - it ain’t as good as it is crack up to be.
Billions of bottle are sold each year in the US alone. It is really BIG business now.

So isn’t bottle water SUPPOSED to be better? Not necessarily. In Houston, well, almost anything’s better than tap water. But that isn’t true across the country.

Inside these bottles has been found bacteria, chemicals and acidity. Plus the ecological burden of billions of plastic bottle pilling up in landfills have already caused one backlash. The mayor of San Francisco was so fed up with the problem that he BANNED the sale of bottled water in municiple buildings.

He is also aware that the landfills cannot dispose of them. They take over 1000 years to biodegrade and leach toxic chemicals into the ground water LONG before they degrade.
