Amazing Beautiful – Wondrous Things … Animals, Kids, Inspiration, Fun : )

Well, maybe not so yay. This movie is about where our food comes from and who controls it.

Now this movie, called “Food Inc,” looks beautiful, eloquent and farickadoodle interesting… (how did they get away with filming this thing? Stunning) But, all that aside, who really controls the food? Let’s guess… this is a hard one… hold on… Howzbout, say, a few multinational corporations?

But of course. So what? Really… what does this mean for you and me, if anything?

Well, if you are very rich, not much. You will be able to buy organic fresh fruits, veggies and natural meat, while the rest of the pleebs will have to live on Bankonit TV GMO dinners and canned fricassee of genetically modded corn-soy-fat-sugar-salt-msg stew. Yum.

Hey! Add fat, sugar, salt, msg, some enticing chemical flavorings, anything tastes good!

Just between u and me… i wanna be RICH….

Movie Trailer: (proof, man!)

Yes, will definitely go see this movie. Will learn who rules the world, and where should go to make obeisance to. Can u imagine? Hip hopping down to the local Monsantoe CarlyGroup and bowing three times. It will be like a new religion. They throw me some Soylentils, I give them all my money. Fair trade.

If they provide me a remote, a cozy slavish labor camp, some wine, beer, spirits, life will be peachy.

Hey! What’s a peach?

This is a telling and provocative movie that skillfully weaves
actualities with possibilities about where our food has come
from and will come from, in the future.

It is indisputable that owning all seed genomes and patenting
growth and distribution of food is hugely profitable. It is a good
“business decision” to dominate, even monopolize commodities
such as food or water, no matter the consequences affecting
the health and well being of the average citizen.

In fact, if control of food would engender health problems, it
could easily promote and spawn another extremely profitable
industry. Huge slates of new pharmaceuticals and medical
procedures that will heavily increase the “bottom line” to
stockholders and “subsidiaries.”

In these cases where monolithic companies seek to “own”
rights to essential commodities such as food, water, air,
fuel, there is no stopping them. That is, unless one is willing
to speak up and protect their right to live their own lives as
they see fit, which includes growing one’s own food,
buying from small local farmers who forego the chemicals,
toxins, poisons, pesticides and gmo (genetically modified)
that are exceedingly profitable.

It seems that freedom comes at a price. For those who wish
to dominate, profit and control, will stop at nothing to secure
their position.

If man is willing to kill for $20, what will he be willing to do
for billions?

A study published in the June, 2004 issue of the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry ranked the following common foods to be extremely rich in naturally occurring antioxidants:

1. Small red beans, dried
2. Wild blueberries
3. Red kidney beans, dried
4. Pinto beans
5. Blueberries, cultivated
6. Cranberries
7. Artichoke hearts, cooked
8. Blackberries
9. Dried prunes
10. Raspberries
11. Strawberries
12. Red delicious apples
13. Granny Smith (green) apples
14. Pecans, raw
15. Sweet cherries
16. Black plums
17. Russet potato, cooked
18. Black beans
19. Red plums
20. Gala apples

According to the same study, the most antioxidant-rich foods in four major food categories are as follows:

* Fruits: blueberries, cranberries, and blackberries.
* Vegetables: beans, artichoke hearts, and russet potatoes.
* Nuts: pecans, walnuts, and hazelnuts.
* Spices: cinnamon, oregano, and ground cloves

“Clearly, there are many foods that are not mentioned here that are also excellent sources of health-promoting antioxidants. The general rule of thumb to follow when looking to identify antioxidant-rich foods is this: plant foods that are rich in color are good sources of antioxidants.

Dark green lettuces, kale, spinach, Asian greens, cabbage, Swiss chard, collard greens, organic green food powders, beet greens, herbs like basil, parsley, mint, and cilantro, red beets, carrots, bell peppers, olives, avocados, acerola cherries, watermelon, cantaloupe, mangos, papayas, goji berries, and turmeric are good examples of bright and colorful plant foods that can infuse your tissues with a wide variety of antioxidants.

Organic egg yolks and organic butter made from milk that is obtained from grass-fed animals are also rich in health-promoting antioxidants.”

Thanks to Mike Adams for the above information! Mike Adams is a Health Ranger. He has definite ideas about our current health and political situations. Here’s his list of Health Tips.

We have our own ideas that may not entirely agree with his list, but perhaps they Do! : ) We believe in buying and consuming natural food rather than purchasing processed supplements, powders, additives, concentrates, nutritives. However, that’s not always possible these days!

List:
->  Eating the most natural, organic foods, veggies
->  Eating modest amounts
->  Eating fresh, raw, home grown food if possible
->  Asking politely considerately for what you need
->  Working diligently, consistently
->  Choosing honesty, kindness, humility
->  Respecting others, loving neighbors, sharing
->  giving with wisdom and discernment
->  Spread good cheer
->  Be uplifting. Can change lives!
->  Praying, more praying

CONFESSION:  We here know we SHOULD do the above,
but it’s hard! As they say… “It ain’t easy.” : )

If it starts with “Don’t,” then time to rephrase it with a “Do.”
We respond to “Please and Do.” We tend to ignore “Don’ts.”

1. Avoid eating out on holidays and Saturday nights. The volume of customers guarantees that most kitchens will be pushed beyond their ability to produce a high-quality meal.

2. There are almost never any sick days in the restaurant business. A busboy with a child to support isn’t going to stay home and miss out on $100 because he’s got strep throat.

3. When customers make personal attacks, adulterating food or drink is a convenient way for servers to exact covert vengeance. Waiters can and do spit in people’s food.

4. Never say “I’m friends with the owner.” Restaurant owners don’t have friends. This marks you as a clueless poseur the moment you walk in the door.

5. Treat others as you want to be treated.

6. Don’t snap your fingers to get attention.

7. Don’t order meals that aren’t on the menu. You’re forcing the chef to cook something he doesn’t make on a regular basis, and it won’t be as good.

8. Splitting entrées is okay, but don’t ask for water, lemon, and sugar so you can make your own lemonade.

9. If you find a waiter you like, always ask to be seated in his or her section. Tell all your friends so they’ll start asking for that server as well. The server will be grateful and take good care of you.

10. If you can’t afford to leave a tip, you can’t afford to eat in the restaurant.

11. Always examine the check. Sometimes large parties are unaware that a gratuity has been added to the bill, so they tip on top of it. Waiters “facilitate” this error.

12. If you want to hang out, that’s fine. But increase the tip to make up for money the server would have made if he or she had had another seating at that table.

13. Never, ever come in 15 minutes before closing time. While you’re chitchatting over salads, your entrées will be languishing under the heat lamp while the dishwasher is spraying industrial-strength, carcinogenic cleaning solvents in their immediate vicinity.

We’ve known that going out to eat often leads to mild food poisoning. Considering that many workers don’t necessarily wash carefully after you-know-whatting.

Now, any time someone tells me they have the “flu,” (throwing up, feeling sick, dia***hea), am more likely to suspect food poisoning than anything else. ESPECIALLY if they just ate out, which most likely they usually did.

That said, many people have a great deal of stomach acid which kills a lot of things. And tons of folks eat out all the time and seem to be doing fine.

Also, they say, when eating Sushi, a little alcohol helps prevent food “issues.” Of course these days, Sushi fish is frozen a good long while to kill pathogens and parasites.

Our bodies are quite strong, and can take a little sputum and pus… after all, it’s in every burger!

That said, we seldom go out to eat anymore. If ever!
