The View

 
 
 
"...clear scientific evidence shows their products are behind the massive bee die-off that puts our entire food chain in peril. Just last month, 37 million bees were discovered dead on a single Canadian farm. And unless we act now, the bees will keep dying. We have to show Bayer now that we won't tolerate it putting its profits ahead of our planet's health. If this giant corporation manages to bully Europe into submission, it would spell disaster for the bees.
Sign the petition to tell Bayer and Syngenta to drop their bee-killing lawsuits now.

One biotech inventions originally labeled a drug now in foods with no labeling required:

Phytosterols 95% (a phytosterol product for use in foods)
In small amounts, this crap is deemed safe based on 20 yr old gov. guidelines. Who eats ONE serving of anything?

"...However, there is uncertainty regarding the potential for adverse effects with the consumption of levels higher than 3 g of free phytosterols per day for an extended period of time,

"unstandardized spreads, mayonnaise, margarine, calorie-reduced margarine, salad dressing and unstandardized salad dressings, yogurt and yogurt drinks, and vegetable and fruit juices."

Phytosterols are not nutrients and under nutrition labelling regulations, the amount of phytosterols may not be included in the Nutrition Facts table ....

*The deal, called the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), is a pact that the United States is negotiating with 8 other countries including Australia, Malaysia and Vietnam. Labelled as a "free trade" agreement, much of it is written to protect investors from government regulation, even if that regulation is passed in the public interest. You can read more about it here:
https://en.avaaz.org/760/tpp-secret-talks-free-trade-agreement"
"Big Tobacco, Big Oil, Big Pharma, Walmart and almost 600 other corporate lobbyists are all in on the final draft -- including limits on smoking laws, affordable medicines and free speech on the Net.
Information about the corporate Death Star has been leaking, and now outcries in each of our countries could shake the confidence of negotiators and scuttle the talks forever. Let's get to a million against the global corporate takeover. Sign the petition on the right, then forward this campaign to help us reach one million! "

Israel-Palestine is not a war. It's an occupation of a people that has resulted in decades of humiliation and oppression.

There is no plausible story that Netanyahu's war is a just war. There is no just goal offered that killing is supposed to bring about. Killing itself is the goal.

On Wednesday alone, 24 Palestinians were killed in Gaza, including six women and nine children. Another 20 people, including seven women and children, were killed on Thursday morning. The ministry also reported that a total of 474 Palestinians have been wounded since Israel launched “Operation Protective Edge” late Monday night.

America’s Impending Tuberculosis Epidemic

“…the administration has begun to send the expected 240,000 migrants and 52,000 unaccompanied minors who have crossed the border illegally in recent months in the Rio Grande Valley to cities around the county.” And at headlines for the open border crisis like this by Todd Starnes titled “Immigration crisis: Tuberculosis spreading at camps”  


2011 Consumer Health Daily article from Denton Texas “TB Outbreaks in Texas Schools Show Disease Still a Threat – At least 100 people have tested positive for the respiratory ailment” and this 1 July 2014 article from the Sacramento Bee “Four more students test positive for tuberculosis at Grant High.” As a Texas parent, this idea of TB positive illegal alien children released to illegal immigrant parents scares the heck out of me from the point of view of epidemiology.

Good Friday morning! We're reading lots of stories this morning about immigration--from why agencies say they need that emergency money to who's taking care of the migrants despite some high-profile protests over the last few days. We're also reading about a ruling against the Florida legislature's redrawing of congressional districts, and of course watching developments in Israel. What are you reading this morning?
