POPSSeven Deadly Myths of Industrial Agriculture Fatal Harvest is the basis for the Organic & Beyond campaign, which seeks to reestablish our relationship with nature, the farmer, and the land. The campaign helps us to stop being mere food "consumers" and teaches us to be "creators," and truly see and understand that each action we take in deciding which foods to buy, grow, or eat creates a very different future for ourselves and the earth. Please join us in this unprecedented campaign and become a creator of a new food future. (via http://www.fatalharvest.org/)

POPSGotta Stop Smoking Before That Face Lift Maybe someone should tell these chicki's that you might be able to postpone that face lift if you don't START smoking? Now, THAT could be motivational; forget the heart or lungs! Then again, one could always have a Post-mortem face lift and leave a hell of a good looking corpse!

POPSSweet edge on waterproof paper. You can't recycle waxed boxes. The wax interferes with the paper making process. I hadn't thought of that, but it make sense, wax being waterproof because it's 'oily' The number of boxes that are coated for use with foods is unimaginable. They've had success with a spray on version of this recyclable waterproof coating . There were few details as a result of 'Commercial Confidentiality' which means they must be on to something

POPSOrganic food, better and tastier? "Produce from the organically and conventionally grown crops were then fed to animals over a two year period and intake and excretion of various minerals and trace elements were measured. Once again, the results showed there was no difference in retention of the elements" it still is tastier.. :)

POPSFranken-food or End of Hunger? There is a lot of hysteria concerning genetically altered food. Uninformed boobs like Bush view it as something pre-apocalyptic. Others see it as a panacea. Like most endeavors I suspect the answer lies somewhere in between.

POPSObama Considers Monsanto, Bush Sec. Of Agricuture for VP 
So, when Barack Obama even CONSIDERS a Monsanto person for his VP, we are looking at one hellish choice on his part and one large one on ours. Because ANYONE connected to Monsanto, at a time when our family farmers and ranchers (we are losing 1000 ranchers a month) are facing imminent collapse, is a threat to our land, our democracy and our lives. I hope you read the following with the horror it deserves and then get hold of every farming, environmental, human rights group you know and with them, let Obama know that some things are impossible to swallow, and monopoly over food with the loss of our farmers is TOP of the list. And in case you are late to who Monsanto is, you can read this to understand the dire significance of Obama's even considering such a choice and what it says about him as a "grass-roots" anything: Obama's Uniquely Awful Veep Prospect 2 hours, 4 minutes ago The Nation July 26, 2008 The Nation -- Barack Obama's vice presidential search team
