CHICKS BIG WORM DOUGS PITCH FORK BUT THATS NOT A REAL FARMER PITCH FORK. Fecal (Poo) Transplants on the Rise. Darwin's Nightmare. Some time in the 1960's, in the heart of Africa, a new animal was introduced into Lake Victoria as a little scientific experiment. The Nile Perch, a voracious predator, extinguished almost the entire stock of the native fish species. However, the new fish multiplied so fast, that its white fillets are today exported all around the world. Huge hulking ex-Soviet cargo planes come daily to collect the latest catch in exchange for their southbound cargo… Kalashnikovs and ammunitions for the uncounted wars in the dark center of the continent. This booming multinational industry of fish and weapons has created an ungodly globalized alliance on the shores of the world’s biggest tropical lake: an army of local fishermen, World bank agents, homeless children, African ministers, EU-commissioners, Tanzanian prostitutes and Russian pilots.

Gilardi & Co., LLC P.O. Sriracha: Public Nuisance in L.A. Causing Irritation to Eyes and Throats. As the cliché goes, there are four seasons in Los Angeles: Earthquake, fire, flood and drought.

In Irwindale, which lies on the L.A. basin’s eastern edge, residents are learning of a new, less destructive if not uncomfortable seasonal affliction: Sriracha season. Earlier this year, Huy Fong, maker of the ubiquitous Rooster Sauce, moved its production facilities from nearby Rosemead to a 650,000 square-foot building in the suburban town of 1,422. With the proprietary hybrid jalapenos the chile sauce is made from ripening in Southern Californian fields owned by of Underwood Family Farms, this is harvest season. But production may be cut short due to a lawsuit filed by the city that says, in essence, the factory is turning the city's air into a crowd dispersant. Although its available year round, Sriracha is essentially a seasonal product.

So they make a whole lot of it. But in Irwindale? Visitors don hairnets, shoe covers and safety goggles, as they might on any factory visit. How Coconut Water Effects Farmers. Coconut water can seem almost too good to be true. Offering less sugar (and a heftier price tag) than soda, ultra-hydrating electrolytes, and a whole array of other health promises, this relatively new beverage manages to come across as an intelligent choice that is also just a little self-indulgent.

Coconut water’s image is best summed up by a recent scene from the popular television show Parks and Recreation, in which the character Anne Perkins (played by Rashida Jones) reveals she’s more into the amenities in her current boyfriend’s deluxe apartment than she is into him. The apartment, described as “Girl Heaven,” has “fresh flowers and gossip magazines on every table,” is heated to a consistent 80 degrees, and includes an “an entire shelf in the fridge just for coconut water.”

Indeed, this tropical beverage has been labeled the “next big thing” in the industry for several years running, and it appears to be living up to its name. Craze Sports Supplement Reportedly Contains Meth-Like Compound. Researchers say a cousin of methamphetamine was found in the sports supplement Craze. According to ABC’s David Kerley: Researchers, including one from Harvard, and a testing group that works for the supplement industry, looked at three samples: two purchased online – one from a store.

They say they found a chemical in craze that is a cousin to methamphetamine.[...]In the short study, just published, the researchers go as far as to call the compound a potentially dangerous designer drug. But they admit, it’s not been tested. According to ABC News, an attorney for the company that makes Craze says that the researchers are incorrect, adding that their own testing found no trace of any chemical resembling methamphetamine in its product.

However, the researcher from Harvard is urging the government to step in and do something about Craze and, along with his research colleagues, is warning consumers about their findings. 9 Food Lies People Are Telling You, From Casual Myths To Straight Up Betrayal.

WikiMedia Yes we will. The Washington Post is Wrong About Farmed Salmon. The Washington Post is Wrong About Farmed Salmon Posted Wed, Sep 25, 2013 by Justine Hausheer to atlantic salmon, chilean salmon aquaculture, farmed salmon, Save the Ocean: Feed the World, washington post Parasitic sea lice from farmed salmon can spread to wild fish nearby. (Photo: Pure Salmon Campaign ) Today the Washington Post ran an article in their Food section lauding advances in the salmon farming industry. We’re here to set the record straight: farmed salmon are not a sustainable seafood choice, and they’re not good for the oceans. When you eat farmed salmon, you’re really eating another fish called the jack mackerel, or any number of other wild fish being fed to salmon.

Even if the ratio of wild fish to farmed fish it 1 to 1, you are still eating a pound of jack mackerel or another wild species—which are likely in trouble—when you eat your farmed salmon. It’s fair to say that salmon farming is better than it used to be, but it used to be horrendous. Lebkuchen Schmidt | Original Nürnberger Lebkuchen purchase online. Pantry Moths in Your Lunch? A Super-Gross Reason to Avoid Processed Supermarket Food. If you’ve opened the pantry door or a bag of rice and had a moth fly in your face, you may have wondered: How did the bug get in there?

Sarah Bryce asked herself that question when she found a pantry moth larva burrowed into a banana she had picked up to eat, before discovering dozens more inside packages of dry food in the cupboard of her Boston apartment. “We were so disgusted,” Bryce remembers. “We just started pitching stuff. They were honestly in everything—inside cardboard boxes, and inside the plastic bags inside the boxes.” After throwing away all her dry food except for a few items—“probably $100 worth”—Bryce bleached the cupboard and hoped she’d solved the problem.

But no. What she found would be perhaps the most disgusting revelation of all: that she’d most likely purchased the affected products from the supermarket with the pests and their eggs already living there. What can consumers do to prevent pantry moths? Garden Fresh Foods Recalls Chicken And Ham Products On Listeria Contamination Fears. How Chris McCandless Died. Twenty-one years ago this month, on September 6, 1992, the decomposed body of Christopher McCandless was discovered by moose hunters just outside the northern boundary of Denali National Park. He had died inside a rusting bus that served as a makeshift shelter for trappers, dog mushers, and other backcountry visitors. Taped to the door was a note scrawled on a page torn from a novel by Nikolai Gogol: From a cryptic diary found among his possessions, it appeared that McCandless had been dead for nineteen days.

A driver’s license issued eight months before he perished indicated that he was twenty-four years old and weighed a hundred and forty pounds. After his body was flown out of the wilderness, an autopsy determined that it weighed sixty-seven pounds and lacked discernible subcutaneous fat. In “Into the Wild,” the book I wrote about McCandless’s brief, confounding life, I came to a different conclusion. “Into the Wild” is a misrepresentation, a sham, a fraud. I was perplexed. Berje Inc.

Take a look at these 15 foods that can actually help to reduce that stubborn belly fat: 1) Avocados: loaded with two nutrients that are KEY to killing belly fat: hunger-crushing fibre (11 - 17g per avocado) and monounsaturated fats, which studies have shown to actually "spot reduce" belly fat. 2) Peanut Butter: not just peanut butter, but mostly any seeds and nuts: postachios, walnuts, almonds,pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and flax seeds.

Why? They keep you full and satisfied for long periods of time and they are full of healthy fats and minerals. 3) Healthy Oils: extra virgin olive oil and coconut oil actually help burn fat by supplying healthy oils your body needs to burn stubborn body fat. 4) These veggies: cetain vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, kale and cabbage contain special phytonutrients (fight-o-nutrients), such as indole-3-carbinol (I3C), which help to fight against environmental estrogens that can add belly fat. 5) Omelets: Eggs arent bad!!! Related: WalkFree.org | Take Action. Florida’s tomato farms supply 50% of all U.S. fresh tomatoes but have also been called America’s ‘ground zero for slavery.’ Countless workers held against their will, threatened with violence and forced to haul hundreds of heavy tomato buckets a day for little to no pay.

Thankfully, a new solution called the Fair Food Program has been proven successful. The Fair Food Program is working to enforce a policy of zero tolerance for slavery on tomato farms. But a major U.S. supermarket chain, Publix Super Markets, is refusing to support the Fair Food Program. Publix continues to buy tomatoes from growers that are not partners of the Fair Food Program and where workers still toil beyond the reach of its proven protection from modern slavery. Tell Publix to make the right decision to join the Fair Food Program and ensure our tomatoes meet the highest human rights standards in the food industry today.

7 Dodgy Food Practices Banned in Europe But Just Fine Here. Last week, the European Commission voted to place a two-year moratorium on most uses of neonicotinoid pesticides, on the suspicion that they're contributing to the global crisis in honeybee health (a topic I've touched on here, here, here, and here). Since then, several people have asked me whether Europe's move might inspire the US Environmental Protection Agency to make a similar move—currently, neonics are widely used in several of our most prevalent crops, including corn, soy, cotton, and wheat. The answer is no. As I reported recently, an agency press officer told me the EU move will have no bearing on the EPA's own reviews of the pesticides, which aren't scheduled for release until 2016 at the earliest. All of which got me thinking about other food-related substances and practices that are banned in Europe but green-lighted here.

Turns out there are lots. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. What Europe did: Banned them, effective this year. Organic Consumers Association. In the interest of protecting our food supply from the catastrophe of Colony Collapse Disorder, we urge the Environmental Protection Agency to reverse its plans to approve yet another bee-killing insecticide, Dow's sulfoxaflor, especially as the agency has classified sulfoxaflor as “very highly toxic” to honeybees.

The EPA also should revoke the emergency use permits that have allowed sulfoxaflor to be used in various states on cotton since 2012. It is shameful that, without proper ecological assessments, the EPA has permitted sulfoxaflor to be introduced into the environment, risking destruction of honeybee colonies. Beekeepers warn that if the EPA fails to stop sulfoxaflor, and refuses to take neonicotinoid insecticides off the market, commercial beekeeping the U.S. will disappear by 2018. If the bees disappear, we'll have to import the three-quarters of crops that are reliant on pollination by bees, such as almonds and broccoli, from Europe. You Won't Believe What's In Your Turkey Burger. Back in August 2011, the agribusiness giant Cargill recalled a stunning 36 million pounds of ground turkey tainted with antibiotic-resistant salmonella that had come from a single processing facility in Arkansas, a failure that eventually sickened 136 people and killed another.

The company shut down the plant, tweaked its process (mainly by adding to and "intensifying" its system of spraying meat with antimicrobial fluid), and quickly reopened it. Within a month, the company had to recall another 108,000 pounds of ground turkey from the same plant, because it was infected with the same strain of superbug salmonella. Have things gotten any cleaner in the world of Big Turkey since those events? Cargill says it has cleaned up its act, but recent research suggests that ground turkey still has an antibiotic-resistant-pathogen problem. Consumer Reports What's more, those bacteria tended to be superbugs—that is, resistant to at least one antibiotic: USDA Ruffles Feathers With New Poultry Inspection Policy.
