Lew Rockwell On Governments
This applies in America and Australia as much today as it ever did.
Currently, members of political parties have a greater allegiance to their party and their donors than to their electorate.
We need to start campaigning NOW to elect representatives of the electorate NOT representatives of political parties.

Re Extra Virgin Olive Oil…

It was found that even 7 of the biggest olive oil makers in the USA, mix their items with cheap oils to get more profits. Namely, one of the products we regard as healthiest and a remedy for longevity has been corrupted.
Apparently, even 70% of olive oil sold in the U.S. stores is fake, as they have been cut with cheaper, inferior oils like canola and sunflower oil! This is similar to the 2008 practice in Italy. This meant seizure for 85 oil farms that mixed some percentage chlorophyll with sunflower and canola to the olive oil.
The oil was mixed, colored, perfumed and flavored too, and these things made the Australian government investigate their oils. The results were awful. After that, not one brand named extra virgin olive oil got the 2012 certificate of approval.
These scams made the University of California to study 124 imported brands of extra virgin olive oil and discovered that more than 70% of the samples did not pass the test.
THESE ARE THE BRANDS THAT FAILED THE TEST:
Carapelli
Mezzetta
Pompeian
Mazola
Primadonna
Colavita
Sasso
Antica Badia
Star
Whole Foods
Felippo Berio
Safeway
Coricelli
Bertolli
ON THE OTHER HAND, THE FOLLOWING BRANDS ARE TRUSTWORTHY:
Lucero
McEvoy Ranch Organic
Corto Olive
Omaggio
Bariani Olive Oil
California Olive Ranch
Lucini
Ottavio
Cobram Estate
Olea Estates
Kirkland Organic
HOW TO TEST OLIVE OIL:
Additionally, you can also test the olive oil you have at home. You should put the bottle in the fridge for half an hour, and if it starts to solidify, it means that the oil is pure, as it contains a large amount of monounsaturated fat.
On the other hand, if it does not solidify, it is fake. Yet, just to be sure, look for official governmental seals of approval on the label, like “Australian Extra Virgin Certified” and “California Olive Oil Council Certified Extra Virgin.”

Starbucks Caught Covering Up $100 Million GMO Deal With Monsanto

Starbucks-Monsanto
‘In the past two years alone, Starbucks has been a part of a GMA-led coalition that has donated more than $70 million dollars to defeat GMO labeling efforts in California and Washington State,’ said a spokesperson for Food Democracy Now. ‘By opposing GMO labeling, Starbucks has willingly climbed in bed with Monsanto and the GMA and is intentionally misleading customers about their commitment to sustainability and ethical sourcing.’
OK Coffee drinkers, you know what to do about this!

Would Grandma Recognise It

Would Grandma Recognise It
Wise advice this. The only caveat is that she would need to be versed in all culinary cultures to avail herself of the best of the world’s nutrition. The meat and three veggies my grandmothers would have been pleased to dish up doesn’t come close to being the best diet possible.
