By Christina Sarich President Obama vowed he would make GMO labeling a reality when he was campaigning back in 2007. It is now 2015, and instead of keeping his promise, we’ve seen more legislation to block the labeling of genetically modified foods, not support it. Doctors, scientists, and CEOs of major corporations have asked Obama to support GMO labeling, but there has been no change. Is it time to pen a national letter to the President to tell him that we expect him to make good on his campaign promise, or is that just wishful thinking considering many believe biotech

“Well it’s obvious who a sizable majority in the House works for and it’s not the American people! Besides banning labeling laws it also bans states from having any oversight of GMO crops! This is a doubly evil bill. Just another illustration of how totally corrupt our government is. Sickening.” Admin he U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday passed legislation that would block states from requiring the labeling of genetically engineered foods, or GMOs—a move that consumer rights groups decried as corporate power defeating Americans’ right to know what’s in their food. The bill, H.R. 1599—dubbed the “DARK Act” (Deny

By noreply@blogger.com (Activist) OSU researchers discover the unicorn – seaweed that tastes like bacon! By Heather Callaghan OSU researchers have been working on a strain of dulse seaweed for 15 years that looks like a translucent red lettuce. Sort of bacon-y all in its own right. But when cooked the protein does taste like bacon. It’s worth noting that we have little details on how exactly the novel strain was grown or how it can get its own patent. Presumably, it’s a naturally derived strain because it’s already being shared among chefs and the OSU marketing department is practicing its

By Anna McPhee Check almost any label on processed food or soup and you’ll see a high sodium content. In most homes, you’ll also see a salt shaker in the middle of the table. When people begin to be conscientious about their salt intake, they often reach for a potassium based salt substitute, however, with some medications potassium should be limited as well. A better way to cut down is to season with herbs and spices, they are not going to taste like salt, but they do provide flavors that can stir the palette and make you wonder why you

By Phyllis Oysters are bivalve (two shells) mollusks that obtain their food by pumping water through their system and filtering small organisms from surrounding waters. They grow near the bottom and attach themselves in clusters to hard surfaces or shells. The edible varieties are usually cultivated in approved coastal waters that are closely monitored to assure product safety. These extra measures for product safety are necessary because many consumers prefer to eat raw oysters. One interesting fact that’s often stated about the oyster is that if you want to eat oysters that taste best, eat them when they’re caught during

By Alexandra Preston The issue of mental health has recently gained more prominence in Australia, with radio advertisements proclaiming that a mental illness, such as depression, is “part” of who someone is – kind of like eye color is part of someone. In reality, while eye color is innocuous, the vast majority of people suffering from mental illness would jump at the chance to be freed from the nightmare which is not only their illness, but the side effects of their medication. Unfortunately, mainstream discussions on mental illness in Australia focus on pharmaceutical drugs while ignoring, or in the case

It is also unfortunate that while Americans flock to so-called “boom towns” for those good jobs, the jobs themselves are tied into the ebb and flow of gas prices. As such, it is not surprising to hear rumors of mass layoffs in the boom towns and see the resulting economic effects.

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Endocrine disruptors are chemicals known to interfere with development and reproduction, and they may cause serious neurological and immune system effects. The disruptions occur because such chemicals mimic hormones in your body, including the female sex hormone estrogen, the male sex hormone androgen, and thyroid hormones. Endocrine-disrupting chemicals may block hormonal signals in your body or interfere with the way the hormones or receptors are made or controlled.1 Your normal hormone levels may be altered, or the chemicals may change the way such hormones travel through your body.
