Apparently, now Russia is involved. The Kremlin is not happy with the GMOs we are exporting to them and other Eastern European countries. They sent and warning to the U.S. Government and other American giant biotech companies. How far is everyone willing to go? Meanwhile, bees are becoming rarer and rarer. I hope we can all reach an agreement and soon!
Some widely used and safe pesticides are killing weeds successfully, but are also affecting your microbiome. I can’t help, but wonder: How “Safe” is Safe?

Lately, more of our food has been infested with bacteria. Ammonia is one of the ingredients often found in contaminated foods. The reason for that is that our farmers and meat producers often use the chemical to kill the bacteria in the animal but usually stay in the meat. Some of our farmers are sick because of the chemical’s excessive use, the poultry and meat inspectors are also getting sick with ammonia-related respiratory illnesses. What to do? Is there a natural solution? Yes, I believe the word is white wine vinegar. Why don’t we use it more often? That’s why it is better to buy local foods because with smaller farms comes better sanitary conditions.

A little App with lots of power. With Boycott, we can now trace the brands (plus its subsidiary) of every product available in the U.S market. If the product is from a food industry dictator, you’ll when you scan it. You can decide to buy the product or not. We’ll no longer accept blindly and raise revenue for companies that aren’t protecting our health. This App might be our first step towards food monopoly.
Brought to you by us, thanks to our self-damaging skills (talking about the environment of course). There will be no Matt Damon or Dustin Hoffman at the end, only a significantly diminished World Population. Will Darwin play with our fate again like he did after the Black Plague and restore the world’s population? Who knows… Perhaps, we’ll learn to coexist with the Zombies we created.

You won’t see the “Franken-ingredient” listed on the label, but are you surprised? I’m not. Some food manufacturer’s keep opposing to list all the ingredients they used on the labels. What are they afraid of? To make things worse, some milk brands are adding artificial sweeteners to their product to make it sweeter and tastier. I guess they assumed we all like that delicious metallic aftertaste of aspartame and sucralose. Oh, how I miss the real sweet taste of cow’s milk.

Friends, we believe that we must do something before it’s too late. Thousands of bees died, and there’s no explanation for it. Si las abejas desaparecen, las flores no van a ser polinizadas haciendo que todo quede fuera de balance. If this happens, we can say goodbye to many fruits and vegetables. Read the complete report here, and learn about what happened to those bees. We need bees for our children’s generation; let’s pay attention because we can’t be responsible for their disappearance.
Sometimes it feels like we are fighting mother earth we are chemicals, pollution and unnatural ingredients. They want to own all the seeds the farmers use to plant crops year after year. Some of those seeds have been in the family of farmers for generations. Now they have to buy them and return them after the crop if fully grown. Since when plating became a private business?

The food system has strayed very far from its traditional farming roots and gone into a dark place. Almost everything has become processed, and a handful of corporations control our entire food system from the seeds to what’s on our plate. The names of the chemicals in the foods we eat today seem out of a science fiction novel. If this continues, only a few privileged people will afford the price of good quality-natural foods. For the rest of us, the future is uncertain unless we start caring now. The only way to survive is to go local and support your local farmers.
Just when you thought you have heard everything about what Michael Pollan had to say about the sad state of our food industry, he surprises us again. Now he is simply saying: “start cooking or die.” You know that when you eat out, you have very little control of what you’re actually eating. Follow Michael’s advice and live a long, healthy life.

Fade to black. Are you still there? These words may sound like they belong in a Science Fiction script, but they are our reality. These are some of the words in the headlines we often read concerning many food systems in the world today.
