Experts say California dairymen face a double whammy: exorbitant feed costs and lower milk prices. The Midwest drought has led to corn and soybean costs increasing by more than 50 percent this summer, stressing dairymen from Wisconsin and Minnesota to Missouri. But in California, milk prices have also lagged behind those in the rest of the nation, exacerbating the crisis. And while milk revenues in California have soared to over $7.5 billion in 2011, making milk the top agricultural commodity, higher revenues mean little, famers say, because it costs so much more to produce the milk. "I don't think there's a milk producer in the state who is profitable right now," said Michael Marsh, CEO of Western United Dairymen. Since 2008, California has lost nearly 300 dairies, with 1,668 remaining as of January, according to the California Department of Food and Agriculture.
BPA From Plastics, Food Packaging, Linked To Obesity. Source: Smithsonian Since the 1960s, manufacturers have widely used the chemical bisphenol-A (BPA) in plastics and food packaging. A study by researchers from New York University, published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association, looked at a sample of nearly 3,000 children and teens across the country and found a “significant” link between the amount of BPA in their urine and the prevalence of obesity. The researchers speculate on a possible underlying mechanism, alluding to other studies that have shown that the chemical may disrupt mechanisms of human metabolism in ways that increase body mass. They also note studies that have revealed associations between urinary levels of BPA and incidences of adult diabetes, cardiovascular disease and abnormal liver function.
The vast majority of BPA in our bodies comes from ingestion of contaminated food and water. The compound is often used as an internal barrier in food packaging. Dr. Mercola Discusses New GMO Study. Europe’s thirst for biofuels spells hunger for millions, as food prices shoot up. “Europe has helped spark a global rush for biofuels that is forcing poor families from their homes, while big business piles up the profits.”
Natalia Alonso Head of Oxfam’s EU Office Published: 17 September 2012 Land used to power European cars with biofuels for one year could produce enough wheat and maize to feed 127 million people, Oxfam reveals ahead of today’s important EU Energy Ministers’ meeting. With the world’s poorest at greater risk of hunger as a result of spiraling food prices, the international agency is calling on the EU to rethink its dangerous love affair with biofuels. In a new GROW campaign report, The Hunger Grains, Oxfam warns that Europe’s growing appetite for biofuels is pushing up global food prices and driving people off their land, resulting in deeper hunger and malnutrition in poor countries.
In Europe, EU biofuel mandates could cost every adult about €30 each year by 2020. “Depriving millions of people of food, land and water” Alternatives exist Related links. Great GMO products. HealthyFellow : Travel Photo - The Sweeteners... Cranberry Heart Therapy. Have you ever flipped through cable TV late at night and stopped at one of the stations that regularly features documentaries about UFOs or other supernatural phenomena? It doesn’t much matter whether you believe in the subject matter or not. What’s interesting about the programs is that they’ll often feature noted professors, scholars and even theologians who offer rather involved theories about how and why extraterrestrials or extra-sensory powers could be plausible.
These intricate explanations often call upon historical records and even scientific principles to bolster credibility. Naturally there are always opposing experts who can and do dispute these controversial points of view. However the hashing out of information and/or the debate along the way can be rather fascinating. Oligomeric procyanidins may in fact be partially or primarily responsible for the cardiovascular benefits that cranberries provide. The Scientific Method Be well!

Press Release: California’s “Label GMO” Proves Pro-GMO Camp Wrong. Contact: Darrell Rogers 202.803.5123Darrell@anh-usa.org California’s “Label GMO” Proves Pro-GMO Camp Wrong Key Argument of the Pro-GMO Camp Dismantled by New Legal Analysis July 10, 2012 — A grassroots initiative that will be on the ballot in September promises to give Californians the right to know whether they are consuming foods with genetically engineered ingredients.
The rest of the country is watching this legislation carefully, since if California requires such labeling, national food manufacturers will likely use the labels in other states as well. Proponents of the initiative point to the numerous scientific studies indicating that GMOs, or genetically modified organisms, can cause genetic changes in mammal offspring.
“Scientists are seeing birth defects, high infant mortality rates, and sterility in hamsters, rats, and livestock fed genetically engineered soy and corn,(1)” said Gretchen DuBeau, executive and legal director for the Alliance for Natural Health USA. How to Avoid Genetically Modified Food in Restaurants #GMO #food. Death of the Birds and the Bees Across America. Birds and bees are something most of us take for granted as part of nature. The expression “teaching about the birds and the bees” to explain the process of human reproduction to young people is not an accidental expression. Bees and birds contribute to the essence of life on our planet. A study by the US Department of Agriculture estimated that “…perhaps one-third of our total diet is dependent, directly or indirectly, upon insect-pollinated plants.”1 The honey bee, Apis mellifera, is the most important pollinator of agricultural crops.
Honey bees pollinate over 70 out of 100 crops that in turn provide 90% of the world’s food. They pollinate most fruits and vegetables–including apples, oranges, strawberries, onions and carrots.2 But while managed honey bee populations have increased over the last 50 years, bee colony populations have decreased significantly in many European and North American nations. Simultaneously, crops that are dependent on insects for pollination have increased. World hunger can't be solved with more food - The Drum Opinion. Find More Stories World hunger can't be solved with more food Olivier De Schutter It is tempting to see the fight against hunger and malnutrition as a rare point of consensus amid an otherwise conflicted international agenda. The issue is seen as above politics, merely a question of technical adjustments: producing more food and getting it to the deficit areas. Yet this is a fundamental misconception.
Increasing net calorie availability does not guarantee less hunger. Across the globe, many governments are struggling to meet the 2015 Millennium Development Goal target of halving the proportion of people who suffer from hunger. In February 2011, the World Bank Group estimated that since June 2010 an additional 44 million people have been driven into poverty. However, a number of countries - including Bangladesh, Brazil, Malawi, Mozambique and Peru - have managed to defy the trend by significantly reducing hunger and malnutrition within their borders.

Hunger and malnutrition are not only the consequences of poverty but often also the very reason for it. That's the conclusion of the Globla Monitoring Report 2012, released by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Each year, the report looks into the progress made in implementing the eight Millennium Goals that the United Nations drew up in 2000 - the most important of which was to halve poverty by 2015. The status report in 2012 is sobering: the food crisis and global food price hikes have in fact turned around some of the achievements of the past years. Food prices had already been on the rise in 2007 and 2008 but, last year, they reached new record highs which, first and foremost, hits the poor, who have less and less money available for food and therefore not only have less but also worse food to eat.
In Tanzania, for instance, the number of households that can afford three meals a day has sunk by 20 percent. This has especially dramatic consequences for infants. New Heart Disease Test. Cholesterol, C-reactive protein, homocysteine and triglycerides are probably the best known biomarkers used to assess cardiovascular risk. Uric acid typically isn’t included in this group of heart disease indicators. In the coming years, this may very well change. However, you and your doctors don’t have to wait for an official stamp of approval from the American Heart Association or any other organization in order to benefit from what’s currently known about uric acid.
Of late, the role of high uric acid or hyperuricemia in relation to cardiovascular outcomes has become increasingly evident. Elevated uric acid (UA) is no longer the exclusive domain of those living with gout and kidney disease. Over the past several years, some researchers have established that hyperuricemia contributes to impaired circulation by promoting endothelial dysfunction.
Thankfully, medications are not the only way to address hyperuricemia. Study 5 - Allopurinol as a Cardiovascular Drug … (link) Monsanto taking over global agriculture.

Roasted Tomato Bisque Recipe. When I was a kid, being served tomato soup was one of the worst forms of punishment. It wasn’t intentional, but that’s how my psyche and taste buds interpreted it. The stranger thing is that I actually enjoyed many other foods made from tomatoes, especially ketchup and marinara sauce. Perhaps my taste buds have matured, but I now enjoy tomato soup when it’s prepared to my liking, which is code for “when cream is added”. And while it’s true that most people enjoy foods with added cream, not everyone chooses to eat them. It could be that they’re sensitive to lactose, trying to lose weight or vegan. Whatever the reason, cream can be problematic for certain individuals and when entertaining a crowd. As odd as it may sound, a simple substitution for heavy cream is raw cashews. I chose tomatoes as the star player in today’s recipe for two reasons. Roasted Tomato Bisque Nutritional Info: Calories: 235. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Hot pepper compound could help hearts. The food that inspires wariness is on course for inspiring even more wonder from a medical standpoint as scientists today reported the latest evidence that chili peppers are a heart-healthy food with potential to protect against the No. 1 cause of death in the developed world. The report was part of the 243rd National Meeting and Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS) being held this week. The study focused on capsaicin and its fiery-hot relatives, a piquant family of substances termed "capsaicinoids. " The stuff that gives cayennes, jalapenos, habaneros and other chili peppers their heat, capsaicin already has an established role in medicine in rub-on-the-skin creams to treat arthritis and certain forms of pain.
Past research suggested that spicing food with chilies can lower blood pressure in people with that condition, reduce blood cholesterol and ease the tendency for dangerous blood clots to form. Plating up for rich Asia. Alan Mitchell Economics Editor Australia the food bowl of Asia? According to Trade and Competitiveness Minister Craig Emerson it’s an old idea whose time has come. Like Opposition Leader Tony Abbott, Emerson sees the need to invest in water catchments and transport infrastructure. But infrastructure is only part of what will be necessary to properly exploit the demand for protein-rich food by Asia’s huge new middle class.
There needs to be structural change and more investment in research and development and human capital. The Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) says that the top 25 per cent of farms account for almost 60 per cent of output, 85 per cent of profits and 55 per cent of investment. The bottom 25 per cent of farms account for only 10 per cent of investment. Productivity has been the main source of farm sector growth. The fragmented nature of the farm sector has led to its heavy reliance on government-funded research and development. If there is a foreign hand it is working through the PMO.

Have you heard the one about the chef who fell in love with a fish?
If not, check out Dan Barber's TED talk. He tells the gripping story of his visits to a fish farm where 30% of the fish-feed was chicken waste, and to a vast wetland aquaculture site in Spain where a key indicator of success is the pinkness of the bellies of the flamingos — and the health of a range of avian predators that consume some 20 percent of the semi-farmed fish. The insight that Barber shares is that the best, tastiest fish comes from systems operated against an ecological balance sheet. None of that was in my brain, however, while I watched in disbelief as a yellow cab with my bags inside streaked off from JFK airport towards New York, its passenger door swinging open, leaving me stranded. Too often capitalism is like that, obsessing about quarterly returns or the next big thing and oblivious that the current value transaction won't pan out how those in the driving seat imagine.
