GMO labeling is underway
93% of Americans according to polls are supporting the idea of GMO food labeling. On Thursday, December 5th, 2013 the mayor of the Big Island of Hawaii, Billy Kenoi, signed bill 113 into
law. This bill prohibits biotech companies from operating on the Big
Island, and it bans farmers from growing any new genetically altered
crops. This is a great news since it means that Hawaii joined Mexico and Italy and 9 other European countries that banned genetically modified plants from being planted on their soil.
Biotech companies are trying desperately to prevent labeling from happening by using secret and illegal donations from fast food industry, bribing politicians, meddling with congress decisions, for instance by forcing a well known Monsanto Protection Act which is supposed to protect Biotech companies from being sued in case if the truth about the scientific findings (Seralini, France) that GMOs are highly cancerous and toxic and dangerous -will finally be acknowledged in official news.
After all it is all about the right to know what is in our food, and if we choose not to eat an apple crossed with a pig, or strawberry crossed with an arctic fish, or if we choose not to eat contaminated toxic corn which is in everything right now - we might just choose not to eat it, that's all people want for now. In the long run, people want to eliminate frankenfood from our food chain. Look at this sick fish, it is a genetically modified trout, product of years of expensive research, maybe already on your dinner plate. Read the article

The Greed - Pathology of the rich
The Pathology of the Rich -Chris Hedges on Reality Asserts Itself pt1
My weekly best find - Chris Hedges is an American journalist, editor of weekly Truthdig column, who was growing up as a child of middle class among the rich, privileged kids, talks about how dumb folded American society is by the ideology which became a delusional story we all hear over and over again in official media, at schools and universities that everything is absolutely normal, and everyone who gets education and works hard can become rich. Chris Hedges explains here why it is simply not the truth.
We see Wall-mart for example, and we all know that people working in Wall-mart receive minimum wage, those workers cannot buy enough food for the table, but not so many people realize that the Wallmart owners, six members of the 'Walton family, have amassed an estimated combined fortune of between $115 billion-$144 billion. These six individuals have more wealth than the combined financial assets of the poorest 40 percent of the U.S. population". I wonder how those individuals feel about robbing the poor, creating misery, how they can even sleep at night knowing that the workers in their multimillion dollar company are scrambling for food. We go see the Christmas Story during Christmas. Now we know who are those Scrooges in our times..
(Minimum wage is $7.25, it is an annual income of $15,080)
