POPSmega corporations are very bad for america this longish blog- uses the example of the wal-mart pet food poisonings to show that buying high end products does not always mean quality- know where your products come from you may not only get what you pay for - but a lot of what you never even expected- (chemicals-poison-etc) they may be packaging the stuff at the same company- high end with low end products and contamination can be deadly-

POPSDo not suck up the forests into your tailpipe! Bio-fuel sounds cool right? But what it means in developing world is cutting down forests and displace indigenous peoples to plant gazillions of acres of GM soya and palm oil. Climate gets worse, potential for unleashing untold unforeseen disasters is increased.

POPSPlant Disease Devastating Vegetable Crops in Eastern U.S. The first symptoms are usually brown spots on the stems, followed by the development of nickel-sized brown or olive-green spots on the tops of leaves and a fuzzy white growth on leaf bottoms. Remove and destroy any infected plant as quickly and completely as possible.

POPSBooster Shots Watch out what you are eating and drinking. Far from everything what can be swallowed really deserve such privilege. In this case it's probably unique genuine chemical formula and not bacterial contamination. You cannot forever mix some chemicals and promote it as panacea leading to paradise in health. It's not and this sad example is additional proof of it. We are not talking now about taste and tastes. Only filtered boiled tap water can be drunk without precaution and any threat to your body. All rest, even "innocent" herbal teas do sumtin inside and oh so often unpredictable. Even bottled water...

POPSSponges and bacteria In this article it talked about all the bacteria that grows in sponges. The article said that it is thought that it is safer to eat at home rather than a restaurant but that may not be the case. It is because of the wet surface that germs are able to grow at such a steady rate in a sponge. Kitchens actually had more fecal matter or bacteria than did the rim of the toilet bowl. A family was studied and the kitchen had all kinds of germs for virtually six days then on the 7th day the germs were gone. It was found out that the family would throw their sponge away on the 7th day and get out a new one. This was a eye opening article on the dangers of sponges, rags, and other kitchen agents

POPSHow Many times Has Your Burger Been Nuked? Before you even get a chance to cook it too much or too little, it may have been irradiated numerous times because it's "cheaper" for them to nuke it instead of making sure the packing and grinding process is clean!

POPSNASA Experts Claim Evidence of Life on Mars The team has also been studying two other Martian meteorites — Nakhla, which landed in Egypt in 1911, and Yamato 593, which was found by a Japanese expedition to Antarctica. In research due to be published shortly, the scientists claim that both of these fossils also show evidence of microbial life. Bill Clinton, then the US President, said of the research in 1997: “It speaks of the possibility of life. If this discovery is confirmed, it will surely be one of the most stunning insights into our Universe that science has ever uncovered. Its implications are as far-reaching and awe-inspiring as can be imagined.”

POPSGoodbye E. Coli in Your Burger for one cent a pound? That's a no brainer to keep you and family that eat meat healthy but guess who doesn't like the idea? Slaughter houses and grinders wold rather you get sick first then recall meat. If it was just a matter of tummy ache that might be OK but would you want your child to be a paraplegic for life so slaughter houses and grinders can no bother to test? Is a penny a pound too much to give a bit more safety to your family? I didn't think so. Ask you Congressional reps to support the idea.

POPSAs the WORLD wakes up!!!! Monsanto already dominates America’s food chain with its genetically modified seeds. Now it has targeted milk production. Just as frightening as the corporation’s tactics, including ruthless legal battles against small farmers, is its decades-long history of toxic contamination.

POPSOpps! There's E. coli - maybe in my beef! A week later, the same firm recalled some more beef - not much but, I wonder why they are not shut down until they do a mass clean up and retraining. And then there is the fact that 6this did not get caught until people got sick - so where were the inspectors and inspection?

POPS GMO FRANKENFOOD Nightmare. Monsanto has been suing and winning in the courts against farmers who "stole" GMO technology when the GMO pollen contaminated the farmer's non-GMO crops. Now that they are creating super-weeds resistant to toxic chemicals like Roundup, and spreading around through contamination, should they not be subject to the same standards? They should be reimbursing the farmers for infesting their crops with weeds. If there are any more small family farms left, that is. Farmers!!!! Rise up and take back your farms.

POPSCamp Lejeune whistle-blower fired But instead of being praised for preventing what might have been another Fort Hood massacre, Manion was fired by the contractor that hired him, NiteLines Kuhana LLC. A spokeswoman for the firm says it let Manion go at the Navy's behest. The Navy declined to comment on this story. Manion says the April incident with the two Marines was just one of a series of disturbing events and serious problems with mental healthcare he saw at Camp Lejeune, a base that may be best known for a water contamination scandal that led to high rates of cancer and birth defects among Marines and their families who lived there. He was particularly concerned to see that troubled Marines were stricken with the overwhelming impulse to commit suicide or murder, telltale signs of severe combat stress.

POPSMercury and Autism The controversy rages on. A recent study said that because the mercury levels found in people's blood with and without autism were basically the same, there was no link. But, as this clip suggests, the place to be testing mercury levels isn't in the blood, but in the tissue.

POPSWarning: This product may cause sickness, paralysis, and death
Given the number of times that beef has been recalled due to contamination in just the past few years, doesn’t it make sense to stop eating it? How many of you have stopped? Stephanie Smith didn’t stop. She is currently in a coma, near death, and paralyzed from eating a single hamburger. E. coli O157 got into industrial beef in the first place because the meat industry insists on feeding cows corn—something they cannot easily digest—instead of grass. Among other things, corn feeding requires cows to be fed a steady dose of antibiotics, which has led to the rise of antibiotic resistance among various pathogens. But more importantly, it has caused very real changes in the cow’s gut which has allowed this toxic strain of E. coli to take hold, a strain that research suggests cannot survive in the gut of cows that eat only grass. The simple solution would be to feed cows grass. But, that solution cannot fatten cattle quickly enough to suit our current appetite for it.

POPS1/3 of ParentsSay No To H1N1 Shot It's one of those things where you're almost damned if you do, damned if you don't I thought they weren't using Thermerosol in vaccines anymore. The preservative is not in the FluMist nasal spray, which can be given to healthy kids age 2 and older. But it's in many injectable doses, which are packaged in multi-dose vials that require thimerosal to prevent bacterial contamination
