EXERCISES FOR PEOPLE WHO HATE TO EXERCISE
If you're like me, the thought of actually going to a gym and participating in EXERCISE is about as appealing as walking on hot coals or having an all-over body wax. There are, however, ways that you might not have thought of to trick your body into exercising, ways that don't involve gardening or sports. See more on page 6
If you keep only one resolution this year, make it this one. Eat more vegetables. Yes, Mom was right. Your body is crying out for the healthy nutrition packed into each brightly colored plant. If you're not a veggie lover, perhaps it's because your idea of cooking them is confined to a frozen package in the microwave, or boiling the life out of them in too much water. Try one (or more) of these delicious recipes and take the blah out of vegetables. See more on page 11 of Jan. Life-style
We never fail to be astounded by the inventiveness of big corporations. Take Monsanto, for instance (please). They manufacture Roundup the all-purpose herbicide for weed control. It worked great on weeds, but it also did a number on crops.
Was Monsanto defeated? Hell, no. After
all, this was the corporation (along with
Dow Chemical) that brought us Agent
Orange, the defoliant used in the Vietnam
War
Monsanto went into their laboratories, did a little creative gene engineering and developed crops that were Roundup resistant. Now farmers not only had to buy these genetically modified seeds, but the only weed killer they could use was ROUNDUP.
But weeds are stubborn little survivors and became resistant to the herbicide, so now farmers had to use more and more of it. Now farmers are being advised
to use increasingly powerful mixtures of multiple
herbicides and not Roundup alone. No wonder our farmers are going broke.
For the latest reports on genetically modified crops, take a look at this.
