Guess who's coming to dinner...

Monsanto’s put its marketing strategy on steroids lately.

 Among other things, they have:

Hired a Director of Millenial Engagement whose job is to win over hipsters, foodies and young farmers.

Created a web site where people can have a pseudo conversation with Monsanto that doesn’t allow comments, where the big questions about GMO labeling and why the U.S. hasn’t banned GMOs like 26 other countries are never answered.

And finally, broadcast a dishonest, confusing commercial entitled Dinner’s Ready trying to associate GMOs with buzz words like “natural resources” and “sustainability” just in time for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.

Herbicide and pesticide-laden genetically-modified and factory-farmed food are dangerous to people and planet. It’s time for everyone to distinguish between reality and marketing. This holiday season, bring organic, locally-sourced whole foods to your table and your community.  Eat smart without GMOs. And let Monsanto know you’re not buying their dishonest marketing campaign.

IGF-1 is associated with growth and lean body mass, many body builders conclude because vegans have lower levels of this chemical in the body they are less likely to build muscle mass. Lower levels of IGF-1 are associated with lower cancer risk.

According to Cowspiracy, a grass fed beef model of farming, it would require twice as much land as used now, because we only 1.9 billion acres in US, while it requires 3.7. to a grass fed beef model of farming, it would require twice as much land as used now, because we only 1.9 billion acres in US, while it requires 3.7. If we think about this further, half of all US land is already dedicated to animal agriculture, so we would never be able to use land in south America, Mexico, and Canada. This doesn’t take into consideration most land isn’t suited for grazing with cattle. It turns out with land use consideration grass red raised beef is more unsustainable than factory farming. The only solution is to reduce or stop our meat eating habits.

can you tell me about some books to check out on alt health, diet, veganism?

Hey, I would recommend some short books to start with such as The New Health Rules and Food Rules. I hope that helps!

The future is a concept, it doesn’t exist. There is no such thing as tomorrow. There never will be, because time is always now. That’s one of the things we discover when we stop talking to ourselves and stop thinking. We find there is only present, only an eternal now.

Everything changes when you start to emit your own frequency rather than the frequencies of those around you, when you start imprinting your intent on the universe rather than receiving an imprint from existence.
