Obesity Out-Weighs Hunger

Not that it is a worse problem, just a bigger one, literally. There are many more people on the planet today who are overweight, than there are people who are underweight.

Don't believe me? Check it out . . .

78%	percentage of malnourished children who live in countries with food surpluses
90%	percentage of hungriest nations on earth that are net exporters of food to rich nations (36 out of 40)

The funny part is, all or most of both of these groups, obese and starving, are malnourished. Along with the advent of industrialized farming, comes the inevitable consequence of nutrient poor crops. Then along comes nutrient poor animals, and of course malnourished people.

I mean seriously. The obesity problem is big, I get it, but how could we possibly let it get bigger than hunger? Well, to explain it simply, when you are not getting enough nutrients, your body keeps telling you you are hungry, and you continue to eat, even though you have had enough. Also, many of the food additives that exist today like MSG, Aspartame, and others actually turn off your body's natural alert system that tells it you are full, so you eat more.

It is each of our own responsibility to do what we can in our own spheres of influence to combat this imbalance in food distribution, and stop industrialized food production and distribution practices. When people are starving out there, it is up to each and every one of us to stop it. The fact that more people are overweight than starving should disgust you, yes, but it should also prove to you that there is hope. We know we have enough food to feed everyone. We just need to distribute it equally amongst people.

The least we can do is allow small farmers to operate without the same kinds of regulations as multinational corporations, so that at least those of us who are smart enough to know what real food looks and tastes like can have a chance at receiving proper nutrition. Buy only organic and locally grown produce, do not shop at corporations, and for your own sake, KILL YOUR TELEVISION.
Media is a grand manipulative tool that the large corporations use to control the masses. That's us. Good little sheep that just keep getting fatter and fatter, while there are starving people out there. Place the blame where it is due, Corporations are killing what is left of humanity people.

Monsanto, Dupont, and corporations like them have gone too far. They have created a vicious cycle of profit-driven food production, that leaves us as consumers starved for nutrients. First they sterilized the seeds, then the ground in which it grows, and now the sterilization reaches humans.

Eventually, we will be manufactured in test tubes, as genetically altered Corporate slaves, that are engineered from birth to be perfectly obedient little consumers. Stop the matrix from becoming a reality.

Buy Local, Eat Local, Live healthy . . . Kill Corporations

Frack Your Country, Mother Fracker!

If you have not seen the documentary Gasland, I really cannot help you when your well water turns out to be flammable, and you set your house on fire. This is public information, but those of us(you) who get information exclusively from the corporate controlled media, will have no idea about what is really going on in the world. If something is on Fox News, or in the news paper, hell even on some of the more popular 'progressive' radio talk shows, it is a distraction from the events that should be considered real news, and a perversion of media.

There is so much money thrown at the issues these days, but natural gas extraction by means of hydraulic fracking is one of the paramount issues of our time. Even though people, animals, and the environment are getting sick around these Fracking sites, to the extent that hair falls out and people are actually able to light their tap water on fire, the regulatory agencies of the U.S. government continue to claim that the process is safe, and that none of these very disturbing occurrences has to do with the Fracking that is going on in the area. 

This is a direct result of a 'revolving door' that allows top ranking employees of these corporate giant energy companies to just come on over and work for the FDA, EPA, USDA and many other agencies. I say we fire all these people, and elect who our regulatory officials will be. Isn't that how democracy is supposed to work?

They are Fracking liars. . . 
Now, I thought that lying in a court of law was tantamount to a criminal act, and was likely to end in the culprit's prosecution, or at lest contempt of court. So why is it that most of what goes on in court rooms these days is lying , and it is being taken at face value by us the slaves as truth? The scariest part to me, is watching films like Gas Land and bearing witness to the straight-faced lies these people tell in courtrooms, and in front of thousands of innocent people, who are literally depending upon them to give us the truth about the dangers of this incredibly destructive process. . .

So here it is . . . 
I will give you the straight truth: Fracking is killing animals and humans, and desecrating the natural environment beyond a state which can hope to be repaired within the foreseeable future. 

Here is a list of chemicals used in Hydraulic Fracking . . .

Natural gas drilling and hydraulic fracturing chemicals with 10 or more health effects ( oh yeah thats per chemical)

The chemicals used in this process, are highly destructive, carcinogenic, toxic, and dangerous. Many of the victims of this Fracking contamination have brought water from their kitchen sink to employees and administrators of the companies responsible for the contamination, and asked them to drink a little. Although every regulatory agency involved has stated over and over again that the water is completely safe, and in no way contaminated, no one is willing to drink it. You would think that since they were getting paid so much by the oil and gas industry to lie for them, regulators and employees would be willing to take a little taste for the camera, with a smile on their faces and proclaim "yummy! See, I told you it was safe." None of them have even touched a drop. I wouldn't drink it. After watching Josh Fox's documentary, and seeing several of the innocent victims of the contamination able to literally light their whole sink on fire with a lighter, just by holding it up to the running tap. 

This issue is of dire urgency. Potentially one of the most pressing and disturbing current events on our plate as humans in this country today. Please watch Gasland and the sequel Gasland II, and stay informed. Fight oil and gas companies, and lets work together to build a sustainable clean energy future for our children and our planet.
