Where to Get Good Safe Seeds
Where can you get good seeds nowadays? Well, here's a good list to start with. A lot of people are just as concerned as you are about big corporations controlling the food supply for humans! I think it is past preposterous for a non-living entity, the artificial 'person that a corporation is, that neither eats, or drinks or breathes air, to control those elements vital to human life. If you don't think you are in a war for the right to good healthy food, I suggest you think again. Stock up on seeds- they are a vital part of your survival kit. It gives you the power to start all over again if that becomes necessary...

The Sick Children in Fukushima (video)
As the government of Japan engages in a dishonest campaign of denial, the children of Fukushima and elsewhere are getting sick. Dizziness, nodules in the neck and other signs point to an evolving disaster that stretches many years into the future. If the standards enacted during Chernobyl were in effect in Japan, more than a million would now be evacuated. Instead 'safe' levels of radiation are being raised! Could the same hold true in Philadelphia where the government recently revealed radioactivity in the drinking water?
The Crimes Against Babies (video)
While many rightly decry the injustice done in the death of Trayvon, yet daily millions of new born infants are fed infant formulas laced with chemicals that destroy their lives just a surely as the bullet that ended Trayvon's. "Free samples" of infant formula is all it takes to induce some new mothers to forgo their obligation to their newborn infant's rightful need to be fed mother's milk.

The Fattening of America
The deliberate fattening of cattle is for the slaughter... Is America being deliberately fattened for the same? How can a nation defend itself as a whole if the individuals who make it up are fat and out of shape and can't defend their individual lives? How can any nation afford the enormous cost of obesity related illness and lost productivity? Fat chance that any nation can survive a 75% obesity rate...
This Is Your Country On Fat: Presenting 14 Years Of Exponential American Obesity
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/01/2012 20:15 -0400
A week ago we had the displeasure of reminding America that in 8 years three quarters of the population will be obese. We said that "many forget that a much more serious long term issue for the US (assuming anyone cares what happens in the long run) is a far more ominous secular shift in US population - namely the fact that everyone is getting fatter fast, aka America's "obesity epidemic." And according to a just released analysis by BNY ConvergEx' Nicholas Colas, things are about to get much worse, because as the OECD predicts, by 2020 75% of US the population will be obese. What this implies for the tens of trillions in underfunded healthcare "benefits" in the future is all too clear." Subsequently, The Atlantic decided to do a follow up on what it titled "The True Cost Of Unwalkable Streets" in which author Kain Benfield says: "Perhaps the single most alarming public health trend in the United States today is the dramatic rise in the number of people who are overweight and obese, bringing serious risks of heart disease, diabetes and other consequences leading to life impairment and premature death. This is bad enough as it is, but I contend that it is particularly unfortunate that we do not sufficiently recognize the extent to which these trends are caused by environmental factors, particularly the shape of our built environment."
Alas, resorting to the traditional American pastime of assigning meaningless blame when faced with a probem of epic proportions, instead of attempting to proactively resolve it, is about as expected as that of the four people around you, three will be, quite soon, morbidly fat. Because no matter who, why, when or where the obesity epidemic started, it won't end until the US welfare state is, pardon the pun, sucked dry (see "Welfare - the Great Delusion"). And if ordinary American citizens are shocked by how little Wall Streeters and politicians have changed their behvaiour, they would be speechless if only they looked in the mirror.
So while we don't have quite the suitable reflective device, here is a chart that should do the trick, coming from the same Atlantic piece. If this doesn't get one to rush out and scarf down the local (within 10 kcal or under walking distance) $0.99 McSomthing meal, nothing will.
Lastly, while the partisan bickering over whether Jeff Sessions is right or not in his estimate of a $17 trillion addition of Obamacare to future unfunded liabilities, goes on we wonder... Seriously? Because supposedly while $82 trillion in future unfunded liabilities is perfectly ok, $99 trillion is obviously a partisan hack to derail the great American plot to eat itself to death? Or something.
Instead of encouraging and enabling Americans to believe that any and every health-related issue they develop (of which the bulk originate from simply eating far too much, such as scarfing down on sugar, sugar and more sugar - which just happens to be the topic of tonight's 60 minutes), will be dealt withon someone else's dime, we have another suggestion: offer every American $100 for every pound they lose until they get to just below their ideal weight, and offer them a further $1000 each year to stay below that weight. Total cost: a tiny fraction of whatever Obamacare would cost, and the future benefits to one's credit card, to social healthcare outflows, and to society in general, would be unmeasurable.
And for those who missed it, here is 60 minutes on whether sugar is toxic (full transcript here).
