By none By Ronnie Cummins, Organic Consumers Association For the first time since the advent of industrial agriculture, the federal government is considering advising Americans to eat “less red and processed meat.” That advice is the outcome of studies conducted by an independent panel of “experts” which was asked by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for recommended changes to the U.S. Dietary Guidelines. The February 19 “eat less red and processed meat” pronouncement by the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC) was reported widely in mainstream media. It set off a

However, there are a whole array of uses that Epsom salts can be put to – and not just for jocks or little old ladies! Below are some great ways to use these inexpensive salts that many people may

By Christina Sarich After months of consumer and activist comments, picketing at the Attorney General’s Office, and winning a lawsuit against Monsanto who tried to overturn the original law, Vermont has just become the first state to have mandatory GMO labeling. Vermont became the first state to become GMO-labeled (a step toward becoming GMO-Free) in 2014, but Monsanto, Dow, Bayer and other biotech interests decided that consumers had no rights at the state level to determine what they wanted to eat. Vermont was brave enough to uphold the voted-upon law anyhow, and even put money aside for the legal fight

By Meghan Telpner As more and more people become aware of the health problems caused by the modern American diet and its dependence upon processed or fast foods, whole foods diets are becoming more popular. These diets focus in on changing to foods which are prepared from their natural states, like fresh vegetables or whole grains. One good change to make if striving for a whole foods diet is to include more seeds. The typical American diet does not feature seeds heavily, so many people do not always think of them except in the form of a condiment (like sesame

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola A mammogram, which is an x-ray of your breasts, is offered by conventional medicine as the best “prevention” strategy for breast cancer. The idea is that by detecting potential cancer early on, it is easier to treat and therefore should be less dangerous and, ultimately, less deadly. Unfortunately, this theory is flawed for several reasons, including the fact that it does not account for the risks of the screening itself. Mammography is not an innocuous risk-free test. As an x-ray, mammography exposes you to ionizing radiation that can cause cancer. Perhaps even worse, its

By noreply@blogger.com (Activist) By Brandon Turbeville and Heather Callaghan For those who may be critical of the process of vaccination, particularly its safety and effectiveness, it is a known fact that there has never been a study proving safety or effectiveness that was not linked to a pharmaceutical firm or vaccine maker.[1] Indeed, if vaccines were so easy to prove safe and effective, then certainly an entirely government-funded or independent agency would have done so by now. With the recent mainstream media hype, however, one would be tempted to believe that such an independent study has finally taken place proving

By noreply@blogger.com (Activist) By Tess Pennington I am inspired by the very definition of self-reliance: to be reliant on one’s own capabilities, judgment, or resources. Ultimately, it is the epitome of independence and lays the groundwork of what we are all striving for – to live a life based on our personal principles and beliefs. It is a concept rooted in the groundwork that made America great. Being dependent on our own capabilities and resources helped create a strong, plentiful country for so long. That said, the existing country as it is now is entirely different than when it began.
