NON GMO FOODS

Here goes the crusader again!  Our crusade today is the avalanche of Genetically Modified food that is overtaking our markets.  Ever since those busy little scientists started tinkering with cross-species genetics, i.e. Monsanto bringing us RoundUp resistant crops, etc., it has become more and more of a challenge to find foods that haven't been tinkered with.  The FDA is currently deciding whether or not these foods should be labeled as GMO.  (Why  should that even be a question?)


For those of you who want to know which foods are non-GMO - yes there still are some - you can download a PDF booklet that gives you a list of all the presently  non-modified foods that are available.   Download it, print it off, and take it with you when you grocery shop.

Our advice?  If ain't in the booklet don't eat it.

THE AMAZING EXPLODING WATERMELON

Technology is wonderful and nobody appreciates that fact more than the Chinese.  In their never ending quest to produce more food for their burgeoning population, to say nothing of their food imports to the U.S, they may finally have stepped over the line.

Like our food manufacturers, the Chinese are great proponents of growth hormones to speed up the growth of crops, animals and anything else that they can think of.  In their zest, they neglected to educate some of their farmers in the proper use of these chemicals.  As a result, many small farmers have been busily running around their fields injecting too much growth hormones into their crops during the wrong part of the season.

They created Frankenmelons that suddenly spontaneously exploded, splitting their rinds and covering their fields with a riotous blanket of red, oozing watermelon pulp.

STILL SMOKING?

If you're still puffing away on those nasty cancer sticks, you might be interested to learn that smokers shorten their life spans by  13.2 years (men) and 14.5 years (women).   If that isn't bad enough, you don't just die sooner, but that death is more likely to be a painful one of respiratory illness, heart disease and/or cancer.


You might be interested in an article from Green Living called "The Shocking Ingredients in Cigarettes".    If you still want to smoke after reading this, then at least you know what you have to look forward to.  When even Phillip Morris warns of the danger of their additives on their web site, you know that it's no fairy tale.
