    BILL NYE THE GMO GUY

    The science guy is good at garnering headlines with his outspoken beliefs.. He is in the face of creationists and conservatives, climate change deniers and all their ilk.. but so many who support him are scratching their collective brains in confusion at his buy in of GMO..

    The evidence: Monsanto CTO Robb Fraley will join Nye, on an episode titled “More Food, Less Hype.”

    “At a time when fake news is prevalent in our society, communication about science and restoring trust in the field has never been more important,” Fraley said. “I was excited and honored to be part of the show to help distinguish fact from fiction when it comes to GMOs. The fact is that GMOs are safe, effective and benefit the environment.”

    Nye’s show is streaming now, only on Netflix.

    There is a bit of interesting history here.. around March 2015 Bill Nye, who had expressed some doubt about GMO, became a fan.

    and from that? He’s now all in.

  • When the Ice cream stops melting

    When the Ice cream stops melting

    [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXS5QO0JpA4]

    The local newscaster had a little smirk and smile when she told of the ice cream that did not melt in hot weather..  The WalMart Great Value sandwich hardly melted in 80 degree weather—and a second sandwich didn’t melt either.

    …In a comparison, other ice cream melted. Walmart’s did not. 

    But Walmart says it has all to do with the amount of buttermilk, and then got defensive saying that it meets FDA requirements.

    Oh and here’s the gem of the ‘news’ story: The reporter ends saying ‘though there is nothing wrong’ with the Walmart ice cream, the customer misses the ‘old fashioned’ ice cream that actually..

    “Old fashioned?” 

    Have we not gotten to the point of no return? Where frankenfood is the norm? Are we accepting this?  Instead of demanding REAL food, are we just going to “miss it” while we eat our chemically enhanced cocktails of poison and death?

    Ice cream that does not melt. It’s not ice cream… 

    Soylent Green didn’t melt either..

  • Just when you were able to score one for real food, GMO wheat shows up to pollute the rest..

    Just when you were able to score one for real food, GMO wheat shows up to pollute the rest..

    We all know that genetically modified wheat has been found in an Oregon field.. But now we are told that Monsanto is ‘baffled’ .. 
    The almost two-feet plant created by genetic researchers features a new protein called Gliadin in the wheat plant–what will happen to the human body? 
    It may mean we will consume more food because that protein will equal more hunger.. 
    We are not eating food anymore. We are eating genetically changed frankenfood. And that is why it should not be legally in that Oregon field.. 
    Monsanto released a press release stating that they were willing and ready to work with the government on the wheat investigation. Although it may be too late, don’t you think? .. at least Monsanto is ‘baffled.’ With the Monsanto protection act, it does not matter if they are baffled or not..
    And here is why it matters: Japan and Korea have suspended imports of United States soft wheat until they determine that none of the Monsanto garbage has entered their chain.. 
    This is important for two reasons: 
    1) This now has a big economic factor (and Oregon is a huge wheat producer for the world) .. and 2) No one WANTS THIS CRAP. What sells in grocery stores now? Non-GMO, organic, and real healthy food.. Real food. 
    What a premise! 
    Things that were eaten for generations… we want that again. Enough of the toxic weapons.. enough of the sess pool of unhealthy processed goo that line aisles of the story. 
    No, no no.. we want food again. 
    Let’s hope this continues.. 
    Let’s hope that real food wins.
