Monsanto may get the WHO to retract the Roundup cancer link study, I don’t know but they are not going to do anything to win the hearts and minds of the purchasing public with performances like this..

Monsanto chief admits ‘hubris’ is to blame for public fears over GM

I get the sense that Monsanto is about to change its tune.. Get ready for a stunningly amazing PR campaign for complete public acceptance of GMO food.

The FOOD BABE army vs the chemical companies.. the fight is on..

Monsanto just got a new bow-tie wearing fan..
What gives?
Something..

The local newscaster had a little smirk and smile when she told of the ice cream that did not melt in hot weather..  The WalMart Great Value sandwich hardly melted in 80 degree weather—and a second sandwich didn’t melt either.

…In a comparison, other ice cream melted. Walmart’s did not. 

But Walmart says it has all to do with the amount of buttermilk, and then got defensive saying that it meets FDA requirements.

Oh and here’s the gem of the ‘news’ story: The reporter ends saying ‘though there is nothing wrong’ with the Walmart ice cream, the customer misses the ‘old fashioned’ ice cream that actually..

"Old fashioned?" 

Have we not gotten to the point of no return? Where frankenfood is the norm? Are we accepting this?  Instead of demanding REAL food, are we just going to “miss it” while we eat our chemically enhanced cocktails of poison and death?

Ice cream that does not melt. It’s not ice cream… 

Soylent Green didn’t melt either..

U.S. Calls on Europe to Ease Limits on Gene-Altered Food

The New York TIMES is reporting this seemingly wretched news.. It reports this from Brussels:

The top American agriculture official on Tuesday called on the European Union to do more to ease restrictions on gene-altered food and feed crops if it hoped to reach a trans-Atlantic trade pact.

“There can’t be a trade agreement without a serious and significant commitment to agriculture,” the official, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, told reporters on Tuesday, a day after an informal meeting with European farm ministers. European consumers “ought to have a choice” whether to use biotech foods, he said.

Mr. Vilsack has a tough case to make, though. There continues to be deep resistance to bioengineered agricultural products in the European Union — or to easing many other agricultural trade protections, for that matter. The fight over food, in fact, is a big impediment to progress in talks that are already moving more slowly than officials on both sides had wanted when President Obama announced them last year.

Very disappointing..

And in some ironic twist, this is simultaneously happening: Obama is forming a team to study Colony Collapse of bees.

So while the United States is busy defending GMO food as safe and secure, it’s also going to face some rude awakenings as they get deep into the honey bee trench. Many global studies have already hinted as a cause: GMOs and Monsanto’s Roundup..

But….
The American study may very well have a different conclusion. After all, Vilsack is telling the UK to accept more bioengineered food.  Maybe some cozy relationships of the past is adding fuel to the cause..

Flu hitting young and middle-age adults unusually hard

Lots of news articles are touting the benefits of getting the flu shot. We are being told it’s not too late to get it now. 

I don’t want to get in a debate about that, I have my opinions, I think it’s worth asking what else may be causing this.

I argue that there could be an overall lifestyle change which is helping disease and sickness spread. A lack of good food.. a lack of wholesome food—a population getting too poor to afford good medical care and GMO free meals.. 

Just my thoughts.

Flu shotters may disagree.. But health isn’t a one fix problem..

You say Potmato, I say TomTato.. .. apparently scientists are getting really bored. They just spliced a tomato and potato together for a vasy array of ugh..

SOOOOOO HAPPY

Maine Legislature easily passes GMO food labeling bill, a blow to Monsanto

Handing genetically engineered seed giant Monsanto Co. another legislative defeat, the Maine Legislature has passed a bill requiring the labeling of foods made from genetically modified organisms, or GMOs.

Time to move to Maine…………..

The trials and tribulations of parenting.. across the world

Being a parent means you have to keep your guard up.. know what the kids’ lingo of the hour is, know what their every movement is even when they don’t know.. be aware of the total situation of their lives but at the same time let them live it and permit them to think they have freedom to do what they want, even though you know the perfect moment to reign them in.  To borrow a theme from our latest headlines, basically, a parent is the NSA, constantly spying on its citizens..

And now it’s time, for me and my wife, to learn more about asthma. After a medical appointment yesterday, little Ayden was diagnosed with it officially. We somewhat knew it would going to occur sooner or later.. we were warned by pediatricians for a year. But it’s it’s more real to hear the real diagnosis made.

Millions of kids are diagnosed with something every day.. asthma, while awful in its own right, isn’t nearly as severe a condition as what some other children are living through right now. It is hell on earth for so many as I type and as you read this.. 

This did,  however, bring up in my mind an important question for our time. We know autism is skyrocketing.. and allergies.. and asthma.. and other conditions affecting the behavior and health  of children. While all of these specific conditions are completely separete, is there a common lining that ties them together? One that trained researchers have yet to see?

A SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN article from 2011 details the surging asthma rates among kids.. (They have continued surging since 2011 and are doing so to this day) .. And the basic premise of the theory presented in this article: We live in a world too clean and therefore better sanitary conditions deprive the immune system of ‘training’ needed to keep the body healthy. So ragweed, dust, and everything else become bigger threats. 

Ok. I get that. We are pretty clean. Well, most of us. With the exception of some names floating through my head that I’d never publish online.. 

But let’s think outside the box for a moment. This may require a nicely fitted tin foil hat.

Here’s a link that shows asthma rates across the world in 2004:

Here is a map that shows autism rates across the world:

And finally.. here is a map that shows the countries across the world who use genetically modified food and where GMO use is widespread in the food supply.

A few maps and a few links don’t solve mysteries or answer questions. But you see a theme here? You see the same countries shaded darker? Oh sure, maybe some just have ‘more people’ and therefore rates are higher.. and maybe there’s other environmental factors.. and maybe ‘better observations’ and diagnosis.. and maybe ‘better medicine’ that spots these things in our children.. and the beat goes on. There could be a number of things that have nothing in common leading to the maps to look almost roughly exact..

But for as for me? Maybe my tin foil hate is too tight.. but I have no questions. Do you?
