Hungary Destroys All Monsanto GMO Corn Fields

Mark David — Thu, 16 May 2013 17:05:39 +0000

Hungary has taken a bold stand against biotech giant Monsanto and genetic modification by destroying 1000 acres of maize found to have been grown with genetically modified seeds, according to Hungary deputy state secretary of the Ministry of Rural Development Lajos Bognar. Unlike many European Union countries, Hungary is a nation where genetically modified (GM) seeds are banned. In a similar stance against GM ingredients, Peru has also passed a 10 year ban on GM foods. Almost 1000 acres of maize found to have been ground with genetically modified seeds have been destroyed throughout Hungary, deputy state secretary of the Ministry of Rural Development Lajos Bognar said. The GMO maize has been ploughed under, said Lajos Bognar, but pollen has not spread from the maize, he added. Unlike several EU members, GMO seeds are banned in Hungary. The checks will continue despite the fact that seek traders are obliged to make sure that their products are GMO free, Bognar said. During the invesigation, controllers have found Pioneer Monsanto products among the seeds planted. The free movement of goods within the EU means that authorities will not investigate how the seeds arrived in Hungary, but they will check where the goods can be found, Bognar said. Regional public radio reported that the two biggest international seed producing companies are affected in the matter and GMO seeds could have been sown on up to the thousands of hectares in the country. Most of the local farmers have complained since they just discovered they were using GMO seeds. With season already under way, it is too late to sow new seeds, so this year’s harvest has been lost. And to make things even worse for the farmers, the company that distributed the seeds in Baranya county is under liquidation. Therefore, if any compensation is paid by the international seed producers, the money will be paid primarily to that company’s creditors, rather than the farmers. Source

Personal Care Upgrade #4: Toothpaste

Mark David — Mon, 13 May 2013 17:32:01 +0000

If you are using any commercial toothpaste, you’re probably brushing your teeth with toxic waste – poisoning yourself, poisoning the environment, and telling that corporation from whom you bought the paste that you support them putting poisons in their toothpaste and selling it to you as if it’s safe to use. In a world where corporations control the government, the power to control the corporations is in the hands of the people. Corporations we buy from thrive and expand, and corporations we don’t buy from dry up and disappear. _ Changing the world is completely up to us and is also very simple. The ball is in your court. Let’s take a look at one of the most popular toothpastes on the market. One of my roommates uses it, and I’m sure many other people do as well. This post goes out to them, and to anybody else who never questioned whether their toothpaste was safe to use. Crest 3D White Toothpaste = Poison Ingredient = Healthy Ingredient = Limited Information!

Breakfast Recipes: 3 Healthy Breakfast Milkshakes

Mark David — Wed, 08 May 2013 19:03:13 +0000

Quick, easy, delicious and healthy are the appeal when it comes to making yourself a tasty breakfast shake to start your day. There are about a million different variations when it comes to making a breakfast milkshake. I’m going to give you three of my favourites to give you a good foundation of what a shake is and show you how you can tweak it to experiment and explore the beautiful flavors that mother nature has to offer. If you don’t have one already, you’ll need a blender to make these shakes. I recommend a hand blender because they are far less work to clean up after use and they work just as well. Milkshake #1: Strawberry Milkshake: _ Throw the following ingredients into a blender: - A handful of strawberries (Organic) - 2 raw eggs (Pastured, GMO-free, Soy free) - 1 cup of raw milk (from Grass-fed/Hormone/Antibiotic Free Animals), or, - 1 cup of coconut milk (Organic) - 1 teaspoon of raw & unheated honey (if you want it sweeter!) Milkshake #2: Vanilla Banana Milkshake: _ Throw the following ingredients into a blender: - 1 banana (Organic) - Vanilla Extract (Organic) - 2 raw eggs (Pastured, GMO-free, Soy free) - 1 cup of raw milk (from Grass-fed/Hormone/Antibiotic Free Animals), or, - 1 cup of coconut milk (Organic) Milkshake #3: Mark’s Everyday Milkshake For me personally, I like to eat very low carb, so these two examples of breakfast shakes are an example of what I would make only on occasion. If I’m making breakfast shakes to eat everyday, I wouldn’t use the above recipes. If I was to eat a breakfast milkshake everyday, I would seek to make the healthiest shake I could. What does that look like? Take Breakfast Shake #2 above and subtract the banana. Bananas are delicious and I love their rich, smooth, and buttery flavour. They are, however, pure carbohydrate and more than I want to be eating. For me, what defines a healthy meal is one that doesn’t spike my blood sugar to dangerously high levels (above 140mg/dl 2 hours after the meal is consumed). Bananas have enough sugar in them that they will likely do this for most people, so we want to be eating them in moderation. A half a banana would be a better choice. Here’s my super-healthy everyday milkshake: - 2 raw eggs (Pastured, GMO-free, Soy free) - 1 cup raw milk (from Grass-fed/Hormone/Antibiotic Free Animals) - Vanilla Extract (Organic) (Interesting Note: Just add a dash of Nutmeg and heat and you’ve got yourself Egg Nog!) I read a book called We Want to Live by Aajonus Vonderplanitz, in which he claims that raw eggs and animal products are very cleansing when consumed raw. The raw fats are said to bind to toxins in the body and facilitate and speed up their removal. This milkshake is also filled with easily digestible proteins, loaded with fat soluable vitamins A, D, E, and K and fortified by nature with loads of minerals. [...]

Office Upgrade #1: Sun-Calibrated Monitor

Mark David — Sat, 04 May 2013 19:01:14 +0000

F.lux is a free application for your computer that automatically adjusts your monitor to match the natural light rhythms of the sun wherever you are. This equates to less eye strain, less headaches and a better nights sleep. Does Your Computer Give You Headaches? Ever notice that the light coming from our computers has a noticeably bright blue hue to it? This is particularly noticeable when someone is using a computer in a dark room. Have you noticed that long sessions on your machine can lead to headaches, eye-fatigue, and even trouble getting to sleep afterwards? Why should you consider using it? Research has indicated that visible light in the blue end of the spectrum is quite stimulating for us – perhaps because it suppresses our melatonin production – which makes sense as this is the dominant color band of sunlight reaching earth in the morning when the sun rises, and throughout the midday. As the late afternoon and evening descend, the color and quality of light shifts towards the red end of the spectrum, which relaxes us, and naturally prepares us for rest and sleep. Our computer screens are default-set to emit light in bright blue wavelengths, which simulate sunlight from the early part of the day. For me, this hasn’t been much of an issue in the morning or midday, but after the sun gets low in the sky I notice that it starts to give me a headache, makes my eyes feel uncomfortably strained, and interferes with my sleep. How Does F.lux Work? F.lux allows me to shift the color of light coming from my machine from the bright blue of early day to a range of warm orange hues that I find far more relaxing, not to mention far less invasive in my home – or what I like to call my “human habitat”. I can customize the brightness of this gentler hue from something that resembles a tungsten lamp down to something more akin to candle light. These options are all found in the f.lux preferences. You can liken the use of f.lux to the differences between an incandescent tungsten lamp and a fluorescent tube. I have always found the stark white light from fluorescence tubes – including the newer “energy savers” – particularly irritating to my eyes and mood, and found the soft orange hue of tungsten lamps far more soothing. When f.lux is active on my computer, the light that it emits resembles the light coming from a low wattage tungsten bulb. In other words, it feels like another lamp, or if I set it low enough, almost like a candle. Office Upgrade #1: This is an upgrade that you won’t want to miss out on. It’s free and the effects of eliminating the blue spectrum of light after sunset are well documented. I highly recommend you Upgrade Your Life® and get yourself the free f.lux app.

Top 10 Reasons To Grow Your Own Garden

Mark David — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 03:34:13 +0000

With prices going through the roof and stories everywhere about food safety recalls, this is the year to grow your own vegetables, spices and herbs. Whether you’ve grown your own garden in the past or not, here are the top 10 reasons why you should this year: 1. Great tasting food! Nothing tastes quite like fresh, homegrown vegetables and herbs. Every recipe suddenly comes to life and the flavor just explodes in your mouth. There’s no “sitting-on-the-shelf” flavor, and you just can’t compare the flavor. And if it tastes good, you and your family are much more likely to eat the vital foods your body needs. 2. Safer food. By growing your own food, there are no worries about contamination from the farms, manufacturing plants or during delivery. If it’s in your backyard, you control the production and everything that goes into it from start to finish. 3. Better health. Tilling the soil, planting, weeding, watering and harvesting gets you outdoors, breathing fresh air and burning a few calories while you’re at it. It’s also a great way to relax and get the stress out of your mind. While you’re working up a sweat, you also know fresh-grown food is packed with nutrients, high in fiber and low in calories. 4. Nutrient-packed veggies. Studies prove that organically grown food has more much-needed vitamins and minerals than vegetables grown with synthetic pesticides. A backyard garden starts with highly nourished soil, which means more nourishment for the plants and, ultimately, our bodies. 5. Less food waste. Did you know the average household throws out more than $600 of produce a year? That’s nuts! Of course, you’re more likely to throw out a mushy, store-bought tomato than one you nurtured in your garden. When something is “yours,” you probably won’t take it for granted. Plus, when it’s fresh, it tastes better, so it won’t go bad sitting in the vegetable bin. 6. Less Environmental Impact. Believe it or not, a garden in your backyard helps the planet. Growing food without pesticides and herbicides cuts down on air and water pollution, and less fossil fuel, as there is no need to transport vegetables from across the nation or even around the world. 7. A Sense of Accomplishment. Planting seeds, nurturing them and watching them grow under your care gives you a feeling of accomplishment that’s hard to explain. It’s fun work that helps you nourish your family and maintain your health. Caring for plants is also a great way to teach kids about nature and give them a great sense of pride! 8. Save energy. Did you know today’s farms use more energy than any other single industry? Amazing but true. Farms eat up 12 percent of the country’s total energy supply. But you can make a difference. Growing your own food helps cut down on overall energy use. 9. Fight Soil Erosion. Today’s farmers face the worst soil erosion in history — more than 3 billion tons of topsoil every year! Every crop grown in [...]
