Farma: The Scary Future Of Food

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.

Food Additives and Health: The Case Against MSG

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.

You Are What You Eat! Are You Unknowingly Eating Road Kill And Dead Pets?

“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.

Is Bottle Water BAD For You?

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.

What Is Wellness?

There is a major movement in America towards the concept of ‘wellness’. Other countries have accepted this as their baseline doctrine for thousands of years. Now we in the U.S. are moving towards a better understanding of it…and how to integrate it into our lives. But the question remains: “What is wellness”?

Another Section Bites The Dust

Well, someone has been VERY busy out there with comment spam.

So, until I can find a really good solution to stop it, I am turning off comments. Actually, if any are written, NONE will go through. Unfortunately, those who are doing it are using an automated program…so they will never SEE this message.

Going, going, gone

Looks like I’m going to have to take down the Resource Directory, at least the way it is currently laid out. Some unscrupulous individuals have been spamming it with all sorts of weird stuff and getting by the permissions module. They are not supposed to be able to post without my permission but it is happening.

I’m not sure how that is happening but it makes it useless the way it is working right now.

So as de Arnold would say it,

“Hasta la vista baby!”
It’s history!

What is it?

A detoxification program.

Yes, you can do everything right and get smacked in the face with illness, cancer, immune system breakdown and even worse if you forget this one thing.
