Food Movies: The World According to Monsanto

Image
This documentary released in 2008, just in the nick of time for Americans to wake up to their declining health, and take serious action against the corporate factors that control their lives. California vote YES on Prop 37 to label genetically engineered foods. Thanks to these intimate links between Monsanto and government agencies, the US adopted GE foods and crops without proper testing, without consumer labeling and in spite of serious questions hanging over their safety. Not coincidentally, Monsanto supplies 90 percent of the GE seeds used by the US market. Monsanto's long arm stretched so far that, in the early nineties, the US Food and Drugs Agency even ignored warnings of their own scientists, who were cautioning that GE crops could cause negative health effects. Other tactics the company uses to stifle concerns about their products include misleading advertising, bribery and concealing scientific evidence. World According to Monsanto (full length movie)

Fukushima California

Summer of 2012 and California has yet to slide off into the ocean, but the Pacific Ring of Fire is extremely active with earthquakes, and so are the volcanoes in the world. With wild stories of bizarre weather and climate change, anything is possible for the remainder of the year. The recession seems to be turning into a depression, the BP oil spill has polluted the Gulf of Mexico, and slowed down the Gulf Steam (North Atlantic Drift, or conveyor belt). This season we realize the triple nuclear meltdown in Japan is ongoing, perpetually poisoning the entire Pacific Ocean and our global atmosphere with unhealthy amounts of cancerous radiation.

cheap footwear = cancer

Holy flippin moly. My footwear could give me cancer. Sunday, gorgeous weather, Autumn has arrived, and a laundry kinda afternoon. Not your typical weekend, but who's watching. Chores, yuk. I was hanging my clothes up today and just started thinking about ALL of these plastic hangers I use.  Then it dawned on me that half the stuff in my home is plastic, or some processed chemical wood product. I've heard that some plastics cause cancer, but I never bothered to verify it or look it up. Cancer rates seem epidemic  of recent - but only a few bother to find out the scientific truth.  Is plastic really that bad? it appears so. My bare feet walking, sitting, sweating in these closed-cell foam sport sandal could very well be soaking toxic in the bottom of me feet.  My ultra sticky yoga mat is made from what?
