Nick Meyer, AltHealthWorks.com - 12 hours ago
Nutrition should be a top priority for both children and adults, but it’s harder than ever to reach all of the daily recommended levels of both vitamins and minerals, in large part because of how depleted our soils are due to monoculture, chemical-intensive farming. According to a landmark study undertaken by Dr. Donald Davis and his team of researchers at the University of Texas (UT) at Austin’s Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry published in 2004, 43 different vegetables and fruits were found to have suffered “reliable declines” in the amount of protein, calcium, phosphorus,...

How Can Biden Govern? Think "Zero-Based" Governance
Stephen Griffin, Balkinization - 10 hours ago
President-elect Biden faces formidable policy challenges that would daunt any incoming administration. A still-raging pandemic, considerable economic uncertainty, and an unusually fraught international situation, among many others. Devising responses to these challenges would not be easy even in favorable circumstances. But circumstances are far from favorable because of the pervading climate of distrust, relatively unique in American history, of which the Trump presidency is both consequence and cause. The issue goes further than merely registering that most Americans have l...
