Well I certainly do want to keep the folks at alternet happy but I don't agree with them on anything and I don't accept much from Wikipedia since it is reader written. Maybe some crud from Alternet wrote the present story.
boyh obama and the dems keep insisting thier plan is NOT or will be a single payer system. so why should anyone boycot this company?maybe someone has a personal dispute and is pulling some underhanded b crap.
So this waste of human flesh John Makay says we all are responsible for our own health or too bad. Well yea, unless we get cancer or some disease by no fault of our own.
Well I hope good ol John Makay gets to develop a disease with no cure.
And I said that because I was reminded of the guy in Sicko the movie. The biggest mouth of all who started more trouble then any other anti national health care who ended up getting very very sick and had no insurance. And guess who paid his hospital bill so he could be cured? Yes Mr Moore. That idiot anti blabber mouth took down all his anti Michael Moore and all his anti health care for all web sites the day he got out of the hospital a well man.
Everyone has a big mouth until mother nature steps in and hands her unexpected medical problems out.
That's exactly what I do! Of course, we do go to our local 'Whole Foods' market which is a local store to grab a few things like the greek yogurt my boyfriend loves.
I've never been in a Whole Foods... We don't have one near me.
Be forewarned, the nickname for Whole Foods is Whole Paycheck....
Further....
Studies have shown there is NO benefit to buying "organic" produce or anything else, it's just a fad, but at twice the price.
Whoa. No, have to disagree with you there.
"Organic" is no fad, friend. It gets touted as some kind of hippie-dippie concept. It's absolutely not. Remember: Before the chemical revolution of the 1950s, ALL food was "organic." In other words, we didn't have to have a special name for clean food, since all food was clean. Today, most food sold in so-called "grocery stores" is a chemical cocktail--more like a simulation of real food than real food. The cereals are filled with chemicals (that's why they last 6 months on your kitchen shelf), and almost all are genetically modified (which is turning out to be exceedingly dangerous: Read Vandana Shiva's "Stolen Harvest"--it's somewhat out of date now, but only because things have gotten even worse). The meat products come from horribly filthy "factory farms" (where the animals are brutalized on an hourly basis in ways that make Michael Vick's torture games look like schoolyard play). All fish now has mercury. And btw, if you buy fish, do NOT buy "farmed fish"--they are the most unclean of all. Putting "farmed" on the package is a brilliant marketing tool because most people, who are clueless about the origins of their food supply, see "farm" and think "happy" or "fresh" or "natural" (oh, and there are no "happy cows" in CA, ok?). Nothing could be further from the truth. Produce is the most dangerous of all, perhaps, because it has the largest water content, and is thereby filled with pesticides. Remember: the concept of "pesticides" is a relatively recent one. I don't believe it's mere coincidence that the rise of cancer (in all its nefarious forms), ADHD (30% of elementary school children on ADHD meds??? Are you kidding me???) and autism correlates with the intensified injection of chemicals and pesticides over the past 50 years into our food and water supplies.
Go Organic: it's MUCH better for your health--there's simply no question about that. Or, at least, go "transitional": lots of local small farmers are doing this, trying to move away from the pesticides that are killing our land, our animals, and us. Farmer's markets are GREAT. And when we shop at them, we're helping out local people and supporting American small farming--like it used to be, before agribusiness, in league with the American government, began to destroy America's farmers, 70% of whom lost their farms and their way of life to corporate entities, who then poisoned the land, the animals, and us. We really DON'T have to put up with this crap any more. If Americans REALLY care about saving their country, they'd spend FAR less time listening to the liars who are threatening them with stories about "socialism" (who do they think those people are working for, anyway?) and far more time in taking back their ACTUAL country: the land, the water, and the animals. For their children's future.
