A Time article compares American school lunches with foreign counterparts.
...Our children’s health, brain development, and future are highly dependent on what we feed them, teach them, but also not the least bit important is what we show them. We are showing them it is ok to eat carbohydrates, sugar, and unhealthy fats at meals...
Need to sell your bad food, and wasteful products? Use Television. Problem solved.
...However, we recently started watching a new TV show online, but from a free service, that contains commercials, and I was amazed by the advertisements. Perhaps I had forgotten how bad they are, or just about them in general. These ads were for crappy food, drugs, and even toxic cleaning supplies...
Another year, another update to the EWG's important food safety list.
...The Dirty Dozen are going to be the foods that we should buy organic as they contain the highest levels of pesticides. Alternatively, the Clean Fifteen are the foods that you don’t have to buy organic as they are lower in pesticides. However, when it comes to food it is important to buy organic as often as you can to help send a message to the food industry...
Recent FDA crack down on low quality (or "no-quality") supplements might paint a bad image of the entire industry. There is a reason why I use specific brands.
...These companies that I trust, and use, not only do the third party testing on their completed products, but also on all of their raw materials. If the raw materials are not pure then these companies would rather have their product be on backorder than send out a less than pure supply as was recently the case with a prominent manufacturer...
Let's all learn something about measles today...
...Measles is caused by an enveloped, single strand RNA virus which naturally only has humans as a host. Before the vaccine, more than 50% of people had measles by the age of 6 with more than 90% by the age of 15. Prior to 1963, 3 to 4 million people would have measles per year with an average of 450 deaths...
There is a reason why you should eat wild fish, and price has absolutely nothing to do with it.
...Farmed fish are grey in color due to their GMO grain, and dead animal part diet. They are dyed pink to compensate...
High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) is in the news again, and again we have more bad news to talk about.
...It was seen that the mice fed the higher levels of fructose-glucose died at a rate of 1.87 times higher than the mice fed the table sugar. These mice also had 26.4% fewer offspring...
E-cigarettes are much easier for minors to acquire than you might otherwise believe.
...According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), it is estimated that 16 million American children can legally purchase e-cigarettes...
A new study on the short term effects of BPA is quite revealing.
...Two hours after drinking the soy milk in the above containers, blood pressures readings were taken as were the urinary BPA levels. Urinary output of BPA rose by up to 1,600% in canned soy milk drinkers in comparison to the glass soy milk drinkers...
So, what do you think we really know about pesticide use in California?
...One last surprising statement from the article was, “even though strawberries take up less than 1 percent of the total farmland in California, they account for at least 8 percent of pesticides used in the state...”
