Say NO to GMO...

Wondering if your food is genetically modified? Here are your statistics:

Soy 91%
Corn 85%
Cotton 85%
Canola 80-85% (Canada)

If you think your food is in it's natural, raw state, think again.

It was probably irradiated.

Irradiating food involves exposing it to ionizing radiation to kill off things like bacteria and bugs. It also kills the food, ie stopping it from sprouting and ripening, and you can say goodbye to the enzymes.

Foods that are irradiated include fruits, vegetables, meat, eggs, sprout seeds, flour, potatoes.

Oh, but don’t worry, all irradiated foods are required to be labeled as such to the first purchaser. HOLD UP, unless you are buying direct from a farmer, you are NOT the first purchaser. Also, these labels could be on the box the individual pieces came in, something the consumer rarely sees.

do you want to be able to light your tap water on fire?

the correct answer to that question is NO.

so very much NO. hydrofracking is not precise! the process wastes oodles of fresh water and risks oodles more when it doesn’t go as planned. all this for a few more years of gas?

watch tap water in Pennsylvania ignite

read more about this HORRIBLE practice and sign the petition to keep it out of ny state

Is our need for oil more important than our need for fresh water?

watch this

and this.

Holistic management could save the world, one carbon sink at a time.

Contrary to popular belief, meat is NOT the number one cause of global warming, feed lots are. Carbon farming takes it back to the old OLD frontier, before the invention of barbed wire and privatization of land. The idea is to use grazing, large hoofed animals to sequester carbon… grass takes in the carbon, animals trample the grass, soil absorbs the carbon from the trampled plant life, new grass grows and the process keeps going. As an added bonus, this process rehabilitates degraded land.

This concept is really a trifecta of genius. 1. Brings us closer to being carbon neutral. 2. Replenishes soil. 3. Could help fight poverty and food shortages all over the world by companies (and people with Hummers) paying to offset their emissions.

Plus, grass fed animals are healthier and leaner which in turn would make humans healthier and leaner… you know, if we wanted to legalize cannibalism.
