but there is only one real point to make here we are in an era of murder suicide the house that will topple is our own have we really run out of any other remedies or love for each other written by

leave a comment the two party system is probably dying before you deplore me for celebrating consider all the other ways we are played off against each other for profit we are constantly asked to pick good guys and bad guys in school cliques in the nfl in office politics and in church the motto of our nation is e pluribus unum latin for out of many one for a very good reason the ability of our diverse population to work together allowed us to be free of a colonial power and become a prosperous can do nation once social engineering began to exploit our differences to promote power and privilege we lost our way why don t you two fight might be a better motto for today s america so the next time someone encourages you to give your all for the team or the party you might want to look at the menu because these days we re on it and the cannibals are sharpening their knives co operation is the basic survival skill and if we lose it what else will matter it s time to overlook all the little things that make us different and interesting ignore distractions and gadgets and stand up to manipulation it takes real people to make a real democracy written by laudyms may 31 2016 at 11 14

physicians in the crop sprayed towns more 1541 sign the independent scientists manifesto on glyphosate here http www i sis org uk independent_scientists_manifesto_on_glyphosate php five years after the first meeting at the faculty of medical sciences of córdoba we scientists doctors and members of health teams from sprayed villages of argentina gathered in the aula magna of the faculty of medicine of the university of buenos aires uba to verify that what we said then is emphatically true and getting worse by the day the current system of agricultural production in the country pollutes the environment and our food sickening and killing human populations in agricultural areas in the last 25 years the consumption of pesticides increased by 983 from 38 to 370 million kilos while the cultivated area increased by 50 from 20 million ha to 30 million ha a production system based on the systematic application of agricultural poisons means inevitably that nature responds by adapting forcing farmers to apply greater quantities of pesticides in the field to achieve the same objectives over the years a system has been created by and for sellers of pesticides who every year increase their net sales in 2015 the increase was 9 while our patients too year after year are being exposed to this pesticide pollution more and more there is no doubt that the massive and growing exposure to pesticides changed the disease profile of argentina s rural populations and that cancer is the leading cause of death among them and the worst way to die research presented at the congress show studies at different scales which highlight a consistent pattern of toxicity from small towns to larger populations at the provincial level as in chaco and córdoba or national level different levels of exposure to glyphosate or agricultural poisons in general are compared showing that reproductive health is affected by increases in spontaneous abortions and birth defects also increased are endocrine disorders such as hypothyroidism neurological disorders or cognitive development problems and soaring of cancer rates a tripling of incidence prevalence and mortality which are directly related to pesticide exposure in parallel data from studies in experimental models show that the genotoxicity of glyphosate and other pesticides is an underlying biological mechanism that explains its relationship with disease that doctors have found in our patients furthermore genotoxicity has been verified in agricultural populations adults and children exposed to pesticides while being absent in populations that are not fumigated distribution of soya planted left and distribution of cancer mortality in cordoba and santa fe according minagria and provincial ministry of health read the rest of

agriculture climate smart agriculture is agribusiness latest attempt to promote industrial farming and undermine agro ecological approaches generally recognized as the real solution to food production under climate change agribusiness corporations that promote synthetic fertilisers industrial meat production and large scale industrial agriculture are calling themselves climate smart the global alliance for climate smart agriculture was launched a year ago its membership of 21 nations includes only ten developing countries three farmers organisations and a large private sector with numerous corporations 60 of which linked to the fertilizer industry monsanto walmart and mcdonalds have launched their own climate smart agriculture csa claims to include all models of agriculture however it lacks any social or environmental safeguards and fails to prioritize farmers voices knowledge and rights as the key to facing and mitigating climate challenges most of all csa actually threatens to undermine agro ecological approaches generally recognized as the real solution to food production under climate change there is huge opposition from all sectors of civil society all over the world an open letter addressed to decision makers objecting to csa has been signed by 55 international organisations and 300 national organizations including the institute of science in society the full text is reproduced below please forward widely to your policy makers don t be fooled civil society says no to climate smart agriculture and urges decision makers to support agroecology we the undersigned belong to civil society organizations including social movements peasants farmers organizations and faith based organizations from around the world we are working to tackle the impacts of climate change that are already disrupting farming and food systems and threatening the food and nutrition security of millions of individuals as we move towards cop21 in paris we welcome a growing recognition of the urgent need to adapt food systems to a changing climate and the key role of agroecology within a food and seed sovereignty framework in achieving this while contributing to mitigation through the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions however despite these promising signals we share deep concerns about the growing influence and agenda of so called climate smart agriculture csa and the global alliance for climate smart agriculture gacsa climate change is the biggest and the most urgent threat our societies face we need a radical transformation of our food systems away from an industrial model and its false solutions and toward food sovereignty local food systems and integral agrarian reform in order to achieve the full realization of the human right to adequate food and nutrition we therefore urge decision makers at country and un levels to reject the dangerous rhetoric of climate smart agriculture climate smart agriculture must not be confused with agroecology climate smart agriculture must not be confused with agroecology 1 agroecology is a holistic approach to agriculture based on principles of ecology as well as food and nutrition security food sovereignty and food justice which seek to enhance agricultural systems by using and recycling natural resources instead of relying on externally purchased inputs it encourages local national food production by small food producers and family farmers and is based on techniques that are not delivered from the top down but developed from farmers traditional knowledge and practices as well as from farmer innovations this approach is based on farmers participation and makes nature a powerful ally in ensuring food and nutrition security building healthy soils and conserving water it increases farmers incomes and resilience in the face of climate change while improving biodiversity and crop diversity it is therefore crucial for all efforts to realize the human right to adequate food and nutrition governments must recognise that industrial approaches that degrade soil health and water retention pollute water systems poison nature and create dependency on external inputs impoverish biodiversity and ecosystems are not only harmful and unnecessary but also deeply misguided for a planet facing hunger ecological crises and climate change read the rest of this entry

affect as many as 18 million americans 1 reactions to gluten a protein found in wheat rye and barley are becoming increasingly common gluten sensitivity can range in severity from mild discomfort such as gas and bloating to celiac disease a serious autoimmune condition that can if undiagnosed result in a 4 fold increase in death 2 genetics alone cannot explain the rapid rise in gluten related disorders and experts believe that there must be an environmental trigger there continues to be much debate about what that environmental trigger may be some assert that a higher gluten content of modern wheat is to blame for the rising prevalence of gluten related disorders 3 but a 2013 review of data commissioned by the united states department of agriculture found no evidence to support this 4 others blame increased consumption of wheat overall 4 age of wheat introduction 5 cesarean birth 6 breastfeeding duration 7 or alterations in intestinal microflora 8 all of these do offer some explanation but they cannot completely account for the drastic increase in gluten sensitivities that we have seen in recent years another possible environmental trigger may be the introduction of genetically modified organisms gmos to the american food supply which occurred in the mid 1990s gmos are created by a laboratory process that transfers genetic material into the dna of an organism there are nine genetically modified gm food crops currently on the market soy corn cotton oil canola oil sugar from sugar beets zucchini yellow squash hawaiian papaya and alfalfa notice that wheat is not one of these although wheat has been hybridized through natural breeding techniques over the years it is not in fact a gmo most gm crops are engineered to tolerate a weed killer called roundup whose active ingredient is glyphosate these crops known as roundup ready crops accumulate high levels of glyphosate that remain in the food corn and cotton varieties are also engineered to produce an insecticide called bt toxin the bt toxin is produced in every cell of genetically engineered corn and ends up in corn chips corn tortillas and other ingredients derived from corn a recent analysis of research suggests that bt toxin glyphosate and other components of gmos are linked to five conditions that may either initiate or exacerbate gluten related disorders intestinal permeability imbalanced

peer reviewed study shatters myth of substantial equivalence and gmo safety from the national press club earlier this week an independent scientist with four degrees from mit dr shiva ayyadurai released the results of groundbreaking new research that proves the fda s current legal construct of substantial equivalence which allows new gmo crops to be approved without proper safety tests is seriously outdated unscientific and a fraud when it comes to assessing the safety of gmo foods utilizing modern tools dr ayyadurai s team has conducted the first of its kind systems biology analysis of more than 11 597 published peer reviewed scientific papers and found that the process of genetic engineering creates significant cellular disruption in gmo plants according to the new research published in the peer reviewed journal agricultural sciences the process of genetic engineering creates significant disruptions to basic cellular functions in monsanto s roundup ready gmo soybeans the new research found the process of genetic engineering introduces oxidative stress or system shock in gmo soybean plants this stress creates a metabolic disturbance in the plant s normal cellular functions including the plant s ability to rid itself of harmful toxins this results in an alarming rise in the accumulation of formaldehyde a known class 1 carcinogen and a significant depletion of glutathione a master antioxidant responsible for cellular detoxification and necessary for maintaining a healthy immune system this new research is alarming and raises serious questions for everyone who eats regarding the safety of our food supply and the current regulations that block gmo labeling and rubber stamp the approval of new gmo food crops these findings shatter the myth that gmos are substantially equivalent and show for the first time that significant damage is done at the cellular level to foods that have been genetically engineered through the process of transgenic in...
