Just another piece of evidence to support the idea that removing ourselves from a natural environment is not good for our mental or physical health:
While We're Talking About Meat…
For the bacon and frankfurt lovers: Those who ate an added serving of processed meat every day were found to be 16 percent more likely to die from cancer, 21 percent more likely to die from heart problems, and 20 percent more likely to die early. http://www.naturalnews.com/035310_red_meat_grass-fed_beef_processed_food.html
A comprehensive study conducted by researchers from California State University (CSU) in Chico, and the University of California (UC), Davis, that was published in Nutrition Journal in 2010 is just one of many that shows the major differences between grain-fed, feedlot meat and grass-fed, pastured meat.
In this study, researchers evaluated the way feeding cattle grass, which is their natural food of choice, compares to feeding them grains, which is not their natural food of choice and is often responsible for making them sick. They found that in virtually every nutritional category evaluated, grass-fed meat was far superior to grain-fed meat.
The omega-3 fatty acid profile in grass-fed meat, for instance, was found to be similar to that of fatty fish, which is often recommended by health officials as a type of meat that promotes health. Grass-fed animals were also found to produce meat that is higher in conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a healthy fat that fights obesity; carotenoids, organic antioxidant pigments that protect cells from cancer-causing free radicals and promote healthy immunity and reproductive function; and vitamin E tocopherols, which protect against cardiovascular disease and cancer.
“Research spanning three decades supports the argument that grass-fed beef has a more desirable SFA (saturated fatty acids) lipid profile as compared to grain-fed beef,” write the authors in their conclusion. “This results in a better n-6:n-3 (omega-6 to omega-3) ratio that is preferred by the nutritional community”

A Fascinating Article on Food
From a doctor who is having great success treating all sorts of health issues with diet. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2012/03/18/mcbride-and-barringer-interview.aspx
Scientists Seek EPA Action on Monsanto Crop Failure
Twenty-two leading scientists, experts in pest resistance, have written an urgent letter to the EPA asking the agency to warn farmers about the hazards of Monsanto’s genetically engineered Bt corn, planted on millions of acres across the U.S. and Canada.
The corn has been gene-spliced with bacterial DNA that produces Bt insecticide in every cell of the plant. Monsanto’s misleading promise was that farmers could plant Bt crops and not have to spray pesticides, but predictably, corn rootworms have begun to develop resistance. Scientists warn of massive yield loss and surging corn costs if the EPA doesn’t act quickly to drastically reduce Bt crops’ acreage and force Monsanto to make non-GMO varieties of its high-yielding hybrid corn available to farmers.
Now’s our chance to ask the EPA to ban Bt crops! Let’s urge the EPA to look at the danger to human health, as well as farming. Monsanto’s insecticide-producing bacterial DNA survives digestion and is now found in the blood of more than 80% of North American women – and their fetuses! Scientists say the exposure comes from a typical (non-organic) diet, primarily through the consumption of animals fed GMO crops. The chronic health impacts of exposure to GMO Bt genes is unknown, but Monsanto’s own study of rats fed Bt crops showed liver and kidney damage.

Outlaw Psychiatry!
Yesterday I finished listening to a lecture series from 1959.
I now know why psychiatrists can advocate such destructive actions as electric shock, cutting up people’s brains, sterilisation and chemical straight jacketing. This is what they are actually doing or advocating doing to minors in WA right now.
They cannot do anything to genuinely help a person so that makes it OK to do ANYTHING to a person – even kill them.
Another piece of the jigsaw puzzle of life falls into place.
The sooner psychiatry is outlawed the better.
Psychiatry's Master Plan for Control
Here are actual recordings of a prominent English psychiatrist by the name of Colonel J R Rees addressing the National Council of Mental Hygiene in October 1940 and his colleague G. Brock Chisholm, the co-founder of the World Federation for Mental Health setting the agenda for psychiatry’s influence and control of every sector of your life. Today it’s becoming more a reality with mental illness being diagnosed for all and any of life’s inherent difficulties www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nh6-79wc2Ac#!

Declaration of Food Independence
Yesterday in Wisconsin, a Declaration of Food Independence was unveiled and signed by the People. This document asserts that We the People have a natural law right to grow, harvest, trade and consume any food we wish, without government interference or regulation:

On Diet, Rice and Sugars
I was recently asked about brown rice in the diet. Dr Mercola interview Dr Paul Jaminet and his “Perfect Diet”. The interview is at:

and more data on rice is at:

As I have posted before, the simplest diet presented in the most impactful video I have seen on the subject is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLjgBLwH3Wc
NSW and QLD governments must halt all gas mining to protect farms and food exports
Beyond Zero Emissions is calling for a complete cessation of CSG mining and exploration activities across NSW and QLD following the verified leak of toxic chemicals into the environment at a NSW CSG field owned by SANTOS. http://beyondzeroemissions.org/media/releases/nsw-and-qld-governments-must-halt-all-gas-mining-protect-farms-and-food-exp-120209
