POPSAMA Calls For Reduced Sodium in U.S. Foods I stopped salting my food years ago. It's about time someone regulated the food industry so we can live longer and be healthier, and still enjoy canned foods, eating out at restaurants, and purchasing convenient frozen foods without the added worry of killer sodium added to these foods.

POPSBiofuel Craze Could Starve Millions Joachim von Braun, director general of the U.S.-based International Food Policy Research Institute supports a moratorium on grain- and oilseed-based biofuels but not for sugar-cane-based fuels. Sugar-cane is the source of many sweeteners used in breakfast cereals and soft drinks. We should start seeing those prices begin to shoot up. I looks like we are just going to have to find another alternative to the biofuels sources.

POPSChildren "Fattened Up Before Ritual Killing We may never really know the full reasoning behind all of the ritualistic killing in native cultures. If there are no written documents to shed light on what we view as pagan, cruel rituals, we can only study and continue to speculate on the religious significance. These killings, or sacrifices to the religious powers (gods or goddesses), are in evidence world wide, on every continent. Interesting reading.

POPSTainted Beef - Putting Poison on Your Table I hate it that we can't be safe from poison food no matter where it comes from. China is a major player, but there can be tainted food coming from your own country, and even caused by your own thawing, preparing, and cooking practices.

POPS"Obesity" Olympics? China Joins the Cola Wars Here we are sending our corn syrup laden, fat producing colas to China, and they send their poison food over here. Fair trade? Our product makes them fat (which in the long run can kill you from obesity and poor health) and theirs kills outright. Fair Trade? Seriously ... I feel sorry for their children being introduced to Western culture by destroying their health and becoming addicted to colas. Soft drinks are not one of our better representatives!

POPSBiodiesel - Run Your Car on Used Fast Food Oil What a surprise to discover that the diesel engine was invented 100 years ago to run on vegetable oil!! Daryl Hannah says she runs her car on used french fry oil she gets from a local fast food restaurant! She takes it to a local processor who filters it for use in her car. Daryl Hannah says, "we’re a consumer nation and you have the power to influence these big corporations who are running the world right now through what you chose to, or not to, purchase." I'd switch ... wouldn't you?

POPSFast Food Menu Survival Healthy eating habits start in childhood. It's hard to teach the "old dogs" new food tricks. It's up to the young mothers and fathers to help redirect their children to healthier eating habits ... and the fast food chains are trying to keep pace with this for an improved image and "bottom line".
