A Documentary About Waste: "Fresh in the garbage"
Documentary - German title "Frisch auf den Müll" Die globale Lebensmittelverschwendung -
"Fresh in the garbage" The global food waste - a film by Valentin Thurn. (Taste the waste)
First broadcast on German TV: ARD 20th October 2010 - I don't own this video.
The international version is titled "Taste the Waste" (55 minutes)
More than half of our food ends up in the garbage! Most already on the way from the farm to the store before it even reaches our dinner table: every second lettuce, every second potato and every fifth bread.
Some countries produce abundance and throw it away, others can not afford the prices on the world market and the people suffer from hunger.
Young activists protest against this situation by rescuing the wasted food. People eating rubbish - a habit that sounds disgusting until you see the loads of perfectly edible food in the bins of your supermarket or sandwich shop around the corner. They often receive help from the employees of the shops because, just as most people do, they feel bad about dumping food. There appears to be something instinctive in human beings that tells us so.

The March Against Monsanto Is Tomorrow!
Over 3 million people from over 300 cities are gathering in solidarity to show their support for organic food and against monsantos grip hold over the food supply. All food used to be organic and that's what the majority of the public wants. The most common myth is that we are short of food and we must use these new genetically modified foods to meet our needs. This is so far from the truth it's actually not funny. We have and produce way more than enough. What we waste every year in the U.S. could feed entire countries. But if you tell anyone we should get rid of GMOs that's one of the first things they will say to you, and it's only because of their blind faith in the media. Well, now that government and mainstream media's reputation is at an all time low, we are happy that people are finally looking to us "tin hat conspiracy" theorists for answers on what's going to happen next. Well, its great news... Because of the internet and social media we have networked and swapped information to the point where a large majority of us have raised our awareness on a vast amount of subjects including the dangers of GMOs. The list is endless and you should know them by now. But just in case you don't, we can run by a few of them quickly before giving you the links to the march against monsanto in your area.
Some reasons people are marching against monsanto:
The list could go on and we encourage you to research more.

#MarchAgainstMonsanto
Some reasons people are marching against monsanto:
- Thousands of farmers are killing themselves after their land has been ruined and crippled with debt after growing GMOs
- Bee die offs, butterfly die-offs insect die offs, even animal die offs from pesticides and herbicides used for growing gm and ge crops.
- Cross contamination is as unpredictable as the wind. If another seed blows into your field and accidentally grows a patented plant you can get sued and lose everything.
- The GMO seeds are called terminators and it's a control feature so that farmers can't collect their own seed and regrow next year. They must under the new system buy more seeds.
- No long term tests were carried out before GMOs and GE foods were forced into the food system.
- Now that long term tests are being carried out, the results are horrifying and swept under the carpet.
- Studies show that not only is it the pesticides that cause damage but the GM food as well. Organ damage etc.
- The chemicals needed to grow these crops poison our soil, water and air substantially.
- The chemicals used to grow GM crops also need to increasingly get more potent to do the same job as the plants mutate, as well as the surrounding weeds, bugs, and wild-life. Referred to as super-bugs, super weeds, mutated animals etc.
The list could go on and we encourage you to research more.

Study: GM Soy Dangerous for Newborns?
This article is supposed to "debunk" this study, but what it actually does is confirms the level of corruption behind the GMO take over. Only approved questions get answered. Only reports that say GMOs are safe get passed into the "official" scientific journals. The same ones that say cancer can't be cured. The same ones that keep millions of people taking "approved" drugs, and the same ones that now refute all anti-gmo evidence.
The following is from GMO Compass <--- (The setting-up of this website was financially supported by the European Union within the European Commission’s Sixth Framework Programme from 1 January 2005 until 28 February 2007. The European Commission and other EU agencies are not responsible for the content.) That's how you know you can trust the material when the first thing you read is them claiming no responsibility for their information. The article reads...
Dr. Irina Ermakova of the Russian Academy of Sciences recently released a study reporting higher mortality rates and lower body weight among young rats whose mothers were fed a diet of herbicide resistant, genetically modified soybeans. According to experts at the British Advisory Committee on Novel Foods and Processes, a serious review of the study is not possible until more experimental data is made available. In addition, the study’s findings go against reviewed scientific studies that have refuted negative health effects.
At a conference for the Russian National Association for Genetic Security (NAGS) in October 2005, a Russian research team shared preliminary results on the effect of genetically modified soybeans on rats and their offspring. The team led by Dr. Irina Ermakova at the Institute of Higher Nervous Activity and Neurophysiology of the Russian Academy of Sciences found that the mortality rate of the offspring of rats fed genetically modified soy four was six times higher than that of rats raised with feed from conventional soy. In addition, the surviving offspring of rats fed GM soy had significantly lower bodyweight compared to control groups. Dr. Ermakova claims her findings raise serious concerns regarding possible health risks to humans. Bild vergrößern According to Dr. Ermakova, the smaller rat's mother was fed GM soy. The larger rat was purportedly born at the same time, except its mother was fed conventional soy.
As of now, no details on the study have been made available. The media propagated Ermakova’s claims. The Russian newspaper Pravda predicted sinking life expectancy for consumers because of genetically modified soy. The Daily Mail in Great Britain warned of dangers for unborn babies. There is no question that such findings merit close attention. Dr. Ermakova’s research looked at a genetically modified soybean cultivar from Monsanto that has been grown commercially in the United States since 1996 and is now also grown in Brazil and Argentina. It is used to produce ingredients and additives found in many processed food products. Approximately 60 percent of the world’s soybean production is genetically modified. Inadequate information An adequate assessment of the study and its implicated negative effects on consumers is only possible if details on methodology and results are made available. For this reason, a comprehensive review of Dr. Ermakova’s findings has not yet been possible. The study has not yet been published in a recognised scientific journal and has therefore not been subjected to review from other scientists. The peer-reviewing process is considered essential for ensuring that published scientific findings are based on sound methodology and reliable experimental design. The Australian scientist Dr. Christopher Preston (University of Adelaide) addressed Dr. Ermakova’s research in an article in AgBioWorld (October 2005). According to Dr. Preston, the data released on the experiment could not withstand a scientific review. He also criticised Ermakova’s approach to communicating her findings. She presented her research at an anti-GMO conference with a strong media presence. By doing this, she publicised her results and avoided subjecting her findings to assessment by the scientific community. The Advisory Committee on Novel Foods and Processes (ACNFP), which is responsible for GMO safety evaluation in Great Britain, also questioned Dr. Ermakova’s findings. They considered the results sketchy and inadequately supported. For example, there is no information about the composition of the rats' diets. Therefore, the possibility of faulty methodology cannot be refuted. The ACNFP issued a statement mentioning a number of possible explanations for Ermakova’s findings having nothing to do with genetically modified soy. One of the possible reasons could be that the test group was given feed containing higher levels of mycotoxins. Mycotoxins are toxic by-products of fungal diseases that sometimes affect soybeans. The ACNFP will consider further details if they can be obtained. The European Commission asked the European Food Safety Administration (EFSA) to comment on Dr. Ermakova's findings. Like the ACNFP, EFSA's GMO Panel searched for all available information on the study, but could not conclude on the research due to a lack of experimental details.
So in short, these findings are considered "Contradictory" to previous findings According to the ACNFP, Dr. Ermakova's findings are inconsistent with a recognised, published research report. In other words, any research that shows the truth about GMOs is quickly covered up and ridiculed. Only approved by Monsanto scientists are allowed to proclaim the miracle of GMO. At South Dakota State University in the United States, Denise Brake and Dr. Donald Evenson conducted similar feeding studies on mice with GM soybean and published their results in a peer-reviewed scientific journal in 2004. Test animals were fed a diet containing 21% GM soy over the course of four generations. Along with number of offspring, mortality, and bodyweight, test animals were checked for changes in testicle morphology, which is a sensitive indicator of food toxicity. Brake and Evenson’s studies found no negative effects. (of course they did.)

But what do you think? Do you think with the level of corruption on our planet that they wouldn't control something like this too? Everything is controlled when there is a dollar up for grabs. To think corruption is everywhere and it didn't make it into the scientific field is just plain mad. There are great forces at work making sure that all truth is swept under the carpet and you're fed your new franken-food without a hitch. There are billions up for grab in this monopolization of the food supply. He who controls the food, controls the people. The awake need not hear a single word, whilst nothing can wake the asleep. No amount of evidence will convince you one way or another if you are dead set the government has your back. We used to be called "conspiracy theorists", until everyone started to slowly figure out we were right the whole time. But, don't just take our word for it. Do what you like. But, if it's ok with you, we are going to support 100% organic food and lifestyle so that we have a better chance of our Earth returning to a more harmonious state of balance. We know all the dangers of GMOs, and you can't even simply label them to make the problems go away. We should ban gmos!

The 8 Biggest Food Companies That Use GMO
Natural Cures Not Medicine on Facebook: www.facebook.com/naturalcuresnotmedicine
All the big names in the food business are using GMOs. Almost all of them! These eight companies make up more than 90% of food product inside grocery stores. This is an absolutely staggering number and the worst part is that most of the organic food brands are owned by the same companies.
Is it time to ban the brands which lobby against GMO labeling and consistently use these ingredients in their foods?

Thyroid Juice Remedy
Natural Cures Not Medicine on Facebook: www.facebook.com/naturalcuresnotmedicine
Your thyroid is a set of multiple glands that
work to keep your body running smoothly. They deliver messages (hormones)
between themselves and other body parts so that all of those tiny cells are
regulated and functioning at the proper levels. The hormones produced by the
thyroid (T3 and T4) are essential for life and have many effects on metabolism,
growth and development.
Thyroid health is important, because if your thyroid isn't functioning properly it can lead to developmental defects or weight gain. Food is our medicine, so consuming the proper foods will help support your thyroid to ensure it remains in tip top shape. Carrots contain ample amounts of beta-carotene which is the precursor for vitamin A in the body. If you are low on vitamin A, your ability to produce thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is limited. This vitamin is required by the body to convert T4 to T3.
B-complex vitamins are required for good thyroid function. Cucumbers contain B vitamins, so they are a good choice when trying to nourish the thyroid glands. Without B vitamins the thyroid and adrenal glands fail to secrete their hormones, and won't be able to utilize its iodine raw material efficiently to make hormones. B vitamins are especially useful in individuals with an overactive thyroid.
Ingredients:
- 1 cucumber
- 5 stalks celery
- 5 carrots
- 1 cup young thai coconut water
- 1 lemon
Buy Organic!
Juice the above ingredients, and add coconut water last!
Drink once everyday..!

Former Pro-GMO Scientist Speaks On Dangers of Genetically Engineered Food
Former Pro-GMO Scientist Speaks Out on the Real Dangers of Genetically Engineered Food:
By Dr. Mercola
Who better to speak the truth about the risks posed by genetically modified (GM) foods than Thierry Vrain, a former research scientist for Agriculture Canada? It was Vrain’s job to address public groups and reassure them that GM crops and food were safe, a task he did with considerable knowledge and passion.
 |
| Thanks for making this picture gmo-awareness.com |
But Vrain, who once touted GM crops as a technological advancement indicative of sound science and progress, has since started to acknowledge the steady flow of research coming from prestigious labs and published in high-impact journals - research showing that there is significant reason for concern about GM crops – and he has now changed his position.
Former Pro-GMO Scientist Cites GM Food Safety Concerns
Vrain cites the concerning fact that it is studies done by Monsanto and other biotech companies that claim GM crops have no impact on the environment and are safe to eat. But federal departments in charge of food safety in the US and Canada have not conducted tests to affirm this alleged “safety.”Vrain writes:1“There are no long-term feeding studies performed in these countries [US and Canada] to demonstrate the claims that engineered corn and soya are safe. All we have are scientific studies out of Europe and Russia, showing that rats fed engineered food die prematurely.These studies show that proteins produced by engineered plants are different than what they should be. Inserting a gene in a genome using this technology can and does result in damaged proteins. The scientific literature is full of studies showing that engineered corn and soya contain toxic or allergenic proteins.… I refute the claims of the biotechnology companies that their engineered crops yield more, that they require less pesticide applications, that they have no impact on the environment and of course that they are safe to eat.”
“The Whole Paradigm of Genetic Engineering Technology is Based on a Misunderstanding”
This misunderstanding is the “one gene, one protein” hypothesis from 70 years ago, which stated that each gene codes for a single protein. However, the Human Genome project completed in 2002 failed dramatically to identify one gene for every one protein in the human body, forcing researchers to look to epigenetic factors -- namely, "factors beyond the control of the gene" – to explain how organisms are formed, and how they work.According to Vrain:“Genetic engineering is 40 years old. It is based on the naive understanding of the genome based on the One Gene – one protein hypothesis of 70 years ago, that each gene codes for a single protein. The Human Genome project completed in 2002 showed that this hypothesis is wrong.The whole paradigm of the genetic engineering technology is based on a misunderstanding. Every scientist now learns that any gene can give more than one protein and that inserting a gene anywhere in a plant eventually creates rogue proteins. Some of these proteins are obviously allergenic or toxic.”In other words, genetic engineering is based on an extremely oversimplified model that suggests that by taking out or adding one or several genes, you can create a particular effect or result. But this premise, which GMO expert Dr. Philip Bereano calls “the Lego model,” is not correct. You cannot simply take out a yellow piece and put in a green piece and call the structure identical because there are complex interactions that are still going to take place and be altered, even if the initial structure still stands.
Serious Problems May Arise From Horizontal Gene Transfer
GE plants and animals are created using horizontal gene transfer (also called horizontal inheritance), as contrasted with vertical gene transfer, which is the mechanism in natural reproduction. Vertical gene transfer, or vertical inheritance, is the transmission of genes from the parent generation to offspring via sexual or asexual reproduction, i.e., breeding a male and female from one species.By contrast, horizontal gene transfer involves injecting a gene from one species into a completely different species, which yields unexpected and often unpredictable results. Proponents of GM crops assume they can apply the principles of vertical inheritance to horizontal inheritance, but according to Dr. David Suzuki, an award-winning geneticist, this assumption is flawed in just about every possible way and is “just lousy science.”Genes don’t function in a vacuum — they act in the context of the entire genome. Whole sets of genes are turned on and off in order to arrive at a particular organism, and the entire orchestration is an activated genome. It’s a dangerous mistake to assume a gene’s traits are expressed properly, regardless of where they’re inserted. The safety of GM food is based only on a hypothesis, and this hypothesis is already being proven wrong.
Leading Scientists Disprove GMO Safety
Vrain cites the compelling report "GMO Myths and Truths"2 as just one of many scientific examples disputing the claims of the biotech industry that GM crops yield better and more nutritious food, save on the use of pesticides, have no environmental impact whatsoever and are perfectly safe to eat. The authors took a science-based approach to evaluating the available research, arriving at the conclusion that most of the scientific evidence regarding safety and increased yield potential do not at all support the claims. In fact, the evidence demonstrates the claims for genetically engineered foods are not just wildly overblown – they simply aren't true.The authors of this critical report include Michael Antoniou, PhD, who heads the Gene Expression and Therapy Group at King's College at London School of Medicine in the UK. He's a 28-year veteran of genetic engineering technology who has himself invented a number of gene expression biotechnologies; and John Fagan, PhD, a leading authority on food sustainability, biosafety, and GE testing. If you want to get a comprehensive understanding of genetically engineered foods, I strongly recommend reading this report.Not only are GM foods less nutritious than non-GM foods, they pose distinct health risks, are inadequately regulated, harm the environment and farmers, and are a poor solution to world hunger. Worse still, these questionable GM crops are now polluting non-GM crops, leading to contamination that cannot ever be “recalled” the way you can take a bad drug off the market … once traditional foods are contaminated with GM genes, there is no going back! Vrain expanded:3“Genetic pollution is so prevalent in North and South America where GM crops are grown that the fields of conventional and organic grower are regularly contaminated with engineered pollen and losing certification. The canola and flax export market from Canada to Europe (a few hundreds of millions of dollars) were recently lost because of genetic pollution.”
American Academy of Environmental Medicine Called for Moratorium on GM Foods FOUR Years Ago
In 2009, the American Academy of Environmental Medicine called for a moratorium on GM foods, and said that long-term independent studies must be conducted, stating:“Several animal studies indicate serious health risks associated with GM food, including infertility, immune problems, accelerated aging, insulin regulation, and changes in major organs and the gastrointestinal system. …There is more than a casual association between GM foods and adverse health effects. There is causation…"Despite this sound warning, GM foods continue to be added to the US food supply with no warning to the Americans buying and eating this food. Genetic manipulation of crops, and more recently food animals, is a dangerous game that has repeatedly revealed that assumptions about how genetic alterations work and the effects they have on animals and humans who consume such foods are deeply flawed and incomplete. Monsanto CEO Hugh Grant claims genetically engineered crops are “the most-tested food product that the world has ever seen.” What he doesn’t tell you is that:
- Industry-funded research predictably affects the outcome of the trial. This has been verified by dozens of scientific reviews comparing funding with the findings of the study. When industry funds the research, it’s virtually guaranteed to be positive. Therefore, independent studies must be done to replicate and thus verify results.
- The longest industry-funded animal feeding study was 90 days, which recent research has confirmed is FAR too short. In the world’s first independently funded lifetime feeding study, massive health problems set in during and after the 13th month, including organ damage and cancer.
- Companies like Monsanto and Syngenta rarely if ever allow independent researchers access to their patented seeds, citing the legal protection these seeds have under patent laws. Hence independent research is extremely difficult to conduct.
- There is no safety monitoring. Meaning, once the GM item in question has been approved, not a single country on earth is actively monitoring and tracking reports of potential health effects.
It Might Take More Than One Bite to Kill You …
“One argument I hear repeatedly is that nobody has been sick or died after a meal (or a trillion meals since 1996) of GM food,” Vrain said. “Nobody gets ill from smoking a pack of cigarettes either. But it sure adds up, and we did not know that in the 1950s before we started our wave of epidemics of cancer. Except this time it is not about a bit of smoke, it’s the whole food system that is of concern. The corporate interest must be subordinated to the public interest, and the policy of substantial equivalence must be scrapped as it is clearly untrue.”Remember, Vrain used to give talks about the benefits of GM foods, but he simply couldn’t ignore the research any longer … and why, then, should you? All in all, if GM foods have something wrong with them that potentially could cause widespread illness or environmental devastation, Monsanto would rather NOT have you find out about it. Not through independent research, nor through a simple little label that would allow you to opt out of the experiment, should you choose not to take them on their word. As Vrain continued:“The Bt corn and soya plants that are now everywhere in our environment are registered as insecticides. But are these insecticidal plants regulated and have their proteins been tested for safety? Not by the federal departments in charge of food safety, not in Canada and not in the U.S.… We should all take these studies seriously and demand that government agencies replicate them rather than rely on studies paid for by the biotech companies … Individuals should be encouraged to make their decisions on food safety based on scientific evidence and personal choice, not on emotion or the personal opinions of others.”At present, the only way to avoid GM foods is to ditch processed foods from your grocery list, and revert back to whole foods grown according to organic standards.
Keep Fighting for Labeling of Genetically Engineered Foods
While California Prop. 37 failed to pass last November, by a very narrow margin, the fight for GMO labeling is far from over. The field-of-play has now moved to the state of Washington, where the people's initiative 522, "The People's Right to Know Genetically Engineered Food Act," will require food sold in retail outlets to be labeled if it contains genetically engineered ingredients. As stated on LabelitWA.org:"Calorie and nutritional information were not always required on food labels. But since 1990 it has been required and most consumers use this information every day. Country-of-origin labeling wasn't required until 2002. The trans fat content of foods didn't have to be labeled until 2006. Now, all of these labeling requirements are accepted as important for consumers. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) also says we must know with labeling if our orange juice is from fresh oranges or frozen concentrate.Doesn't it make sense that genetically engineered foods containing experimental viral, bacterial, insect, plant or animal genes should be labeled, too? Genetically engineered foods do not have to be tested for safety before entering the market. No long-term human feeding studies have been done. The research we have is raising serious questions about the impact to human health and the environment.I-522 provides the transparency people deserve. I-522 will not raise costs to consumers or food producers. It simply would add more information to food labels, which manufacturers change routinely anyway, all the time. I-522 does not impose any significant cost on our state. It does not require the state to conduct label surveillance, or to initiate or pursue enforcement. The state may choose to do so, as a policy choice, but I-522 was written to avoid raising costs to the state or consumers."Remember, as with CA Prop. 37, they need support of people like YOU to succeed. Prop. 37 failed with a very narrow margin simply because we didn't have the funds to counter the massive ad campaigns created by the No on 37 camp, led by Monsanto and other major food companies. Let's not allow Monsanto and its allies to confuse and mislead the people of Washington and Vermont as they did in California. So please, I urge you to get involved and help in any way you can, regardless of what state you live in.
- No matter where you live in the United States, please donate money to these labeling efforts through the Organic Consumers Fund.
- If you live in Washington State, please sign the I-522 petition. You can also volunteer to help gather signatures across the state.
- For timely updates on issues relating to these and other labeling initiatives, please join the Organic Consumers Association on Facebook, or follow them on Twitter.
- Talk to organic producers and stores and ask them to actively support the Washington initiative.
How To Lose Weight Naturally
We would like to take the time to make this point very clear. There is no secret to weight loss. It's not even difficult or expensive like many think. The truth is - you will feed yourself whatever lies you need to hear to keep doing what you want to do. The choice needs to be made deep inside of you. Once you have made this choice then and only then can you start to lose weight naturally and keep it off. It works the same as an addiction. You can not be helped unless you are committed to doing this and going the full distance.
Step 1: Eat the healthy organic foods.
Step 2: Exercise. Yep. That's it. Done.
Repeat.
Keep life simple.
