Forging his way through the predictable UK media censorship: Dr Andrew Wakefield Responds to Measles Outbreak in Swansea
August 31, 2010 Hardly a morning passes without food making the headlines. This week has brought us the burger that thinks it’s a pizza and news that eating asparagus helps you stay slim (fingers crossed it’s the type covered in melted butter). And we heard that, if you eat pickled squid guts and single cream together, it tastes like strawberry shortcake.
August 27, 2010 It's hard to believe a nation so concerned with cardiovascular disease -- 33.5 million take statins -- would eat the "strokes in a shell" known as eggs, the highest cholesterol food known to man. And there are even more reasons to remove eggs from your diet. Here are eight of them.
August 27, 2010 If you had any doubts about where the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is really placing its bets, AGRA Watch's recent announcement of the Foundation's investment of $23.1 million in 500,000 shares of Monsanto stock [1] should put them to rest. Genetic engineering: full speed ahead.
August 26, 2010 Male rats exposed before birth to low doses of the weedkiller atrazine are more likely to develop prostate inflammation and to go through puberty later than non-exposed animals, finds a new study conducted by federal government scientists.
August 25, 2010 What is carefully kept out of the Monsanto and other agribusiness propaganda in promoting genetically manipulated crops as an alternative to conventional is the fact that in the entire world until the present, all GMO crops have been manipulated and patented for only two things—to be resistant or “tolerant” to the patented highly toxic herbicide glyphosate chemicals that Monsanto and the others force farmers to buy as condition for buying their patented GMO seeds. The second trait is GMO seeds that have been engineered genetically to resist specific insects. Contrary to public relations myths promoted by the agribusiness giants in their own self-interest, there exists not oné single GMO seed that provides a greater harvest yield than conventional, nor one that requires less toxic chemical herbicides. That is for the simple reason there is no profit to be made in such.
August 9, 2010 Tell Your Senators to Continue Stopping S510!
Ask them to Put a "Hold" on the Bill!
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=4252
Our friends in DC tell us the fake "Food Safety" bill about which we have warned has been "pushed back" again. We stopped it in November 2009 with a couple hundred thousand messages to the Senate HELP committe; we held it off through the July 4th weekend, a major goal achieved! If we can hold it off til the Augst recess, it is very unlikely to pass. See http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=4608 for backgroud. Continue below for the latest Action Item we need you to take.
July 14, 2010 Update: The congressional majority leadership has issued its "short list" of bills it wants to push to passage before the August recess. The good news is: S.510 is NOT on the list! The bad news is that the bill's handers could "sneak it through" the Senate as a "unanimous consent" non-controversial matter! That is, unless opposing Senators put a "hold" on the bill, which means it cannot be treated as non-controversial. Please send the Action Item below to your Senators, demanding that the "hold" the bill! How does a Senator do that? The Senator has one of his or her staff members call the staff of the Senate Cloak Room (yes, there still is a Senate Cloak Room, but now it has a staff! Ah, bureaucracy! The staff is responsible for non-controversial, unanimous consent bills. That's where this bad bill stops!

To all supporters of food and health freedoms:
The Natural Solutions Foundation has attended 18 Codex Alimentarius Committee and Commission meeetings and US Codex meetings and submitted position papers and contributions to the Codex deliberations and debates. We attend because you, as a food-affected stakeholders have asked us to do so on your behalf. We have visited numerous Codex Contact Points and others around the world, and they have, and continue to, come to the Natural Solutions Center in pursuit of understanding and equitable food policy, preserving and protecting the interests of consumers, in keeping with the main purposes of Codex, as enumerated on the Codex website.
Despite this active contribution to the Codex process, or perhaps because the interests of consumer stakeholders are so different from the commercial interests which are heavily represented at Codex, the delegation fielded by our organization, made up of the Trustees of the Natural Solutions Foundation, have been repeatedly, and increasingly met with unique discrimination and increasing difficulties as we attempt to represent your interests.
These abusive practices include assigning armed guards to them to keep us away from meetings, sequestering us in inappropriate areas during meetings to prevent us from reasonably observing the meeting or talking to delegates, and other humiliating and degrading treatment must stop. The Natural Solutions Foundation is the largest health freedom organization in the world, representing the interests of food-effected stakeholders like you from the greed, dangerous non-food, corporate agendas and politics of the agenda as promulgated without their input. The current "Health Freedom Group" has a tiny membership and may purport to speak for you, but is not willing to cooperate with us, as the Codex rules would seem to require.
We trust the Natural Solutions Foundation has earned your respect and should be treated with the same respect by the Codex Alimentarius Commission. Please take the Action Item below and help educate decision makers about the need to grant formal Observer status to the Foundation at Codex meetings.
August 9, 2010 S 510 would turn control over all food in the US to the WTO. It includes highly deceptive means of stopping anyone in the country from producing food. One example:
It would allow the government, under Maritime Law, to define the introduction of any food into commerce (even direct sales between individuals) as smuggling into “the United States.”
Since under that law, the US is a corporate entity and not a location, “entry of food into the US” covers food produced anywhere within the land mass of this country and “entering into” it by virtue of being produced.
What groups are demanding a stop to the bill?
Rosa Delauro, whose husband works for Monsanto, introduced the first of the big food safety bills, HR 875. Any part of it can be merged with S 510 at any time.
The civil penalties section of HR 875 is jaw dropping. It allows the Administrator - expected to be Michael Taylor, Monsanto VP, already Food Safety Czar at the FDA - to use unlimited "remedies" (nothing is excluded), with no Congressional oversight and without judicial review over the validity and appropriateness of his orders. The food safety bills cover anyone in the country who "holds" food so Monsanto would in essence be running a corporate court in which they could do anything they wished - even invalid and inappropriate - to any person in America. Monsanto would have police power over the entire country.
That one small section entails the end of the rule of law in the US.

July 28, 2010 Lower crop yields and agricultural production could drive as many as 6.7 million across the border by 2080, a study finds.
