March 17, 2019 You don't want glyphosate (RoundUp) on your food, so this article will tell you how to avoid this and other pesticides that have been sprayed on crops, or have drifted onto organic crops. A lot of the information I'm passing along is common sense; some of this might be new to you. Wash all grocery store and supermarket purchases, even organic foods. You can use plain water to do this: rinse for a few seconds and wash away all visible dirt. Don't use any kind of soap. Dry and wipe down your produce with a clean dish cloth or paper towel. Peel off outer layers of produce. Again, this includes organically grown foods. Fat and skin in meats are the places where toxins are stored, so remove them before cooking. If the animal you are consuming was fed on non-organic grains or vegetables, you need to pay attention to this. Remember, the idea is to avoid having to grapple with cancer, so every step you take to keep your distance from poisons will make a dif...

March 9, 2019 We've just read about the worst of the worst: Monsanto. Monsanto is huge and powerful; nevertheless, there are corporations that want you to know that their standing with workers, the community, and as stewards of the environment, matters to them.  They've come together to brand themselves as B corporations. The B stands for benefit, and for a better way of doing business. What exactly makes a B corporation better? It must have a legally binding commitment to sustainability, and to treating workers fairly. Generally, this means their commitment is spelled out in their charter. B corporations must report on their social and environmental impacts every two years, thereby qualifying them for certification as a B corp (certification provided by non-profit B Lab). The ultimate goals of certified companies are lower levels of poverty and inequality, a healthier environment, stronger communities, and high-quality jobs that support human dignity. You will find a list ...

March 8, 2019 The information in this summary is taken from an article, written by E. Hanzai, that first appeared in the Waking Times  in June of 2014. Monsanto was founded in 1901 by John Queeny, for the purpose of making saccharin for Coca-Cola. He named the company for his wife, Olga Mendez Monsanto. Astonishingly, the government sued Monsanto, since saccharin was a known poison, to make them stop production. It lost! It's been downhill ever since. In the 1920s, Monsanto began production of polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs, a long-lasting toxin and carcinogen. PCBs were banned after fifty years for causing environmental holocaust, but are still present in animal and human blood samples and tissue cells around the world. Court documents plainly showed Monsanto's awareness of PCBs' deadly effects. The pattern of behavior established nearly a hundred years ago continues to this day: hiding the facts from the public, and denial, denial, denial. Monsanto failed to disc...
