    If it’s not safe to breath… is it safe to eat? Thoughts? Another comment: By that logic, if you fertilize crops with manure then you end up eating shit.

    Is an Egg for Breakfast Worth This?

    Supermarket eggs gleam with apparent cleanliness, and nothing might seem more wholesome than breaking one of them into a frying pan.

    Think again. The Humane Society of the United States plans to release on Thursday the results of an undercover investigation into Kreider Farms, a major factory farm that produces 4.5 million eggs each day for supermarkets like ShopRite.

    I’ve reviewed footage and photos taken by the investigator, who says he worked for Kreider between January and March of this year. In an interview, he portrayed an operation that has little concern for cleanliness or the welfare of hens.

    Quinoa: The Dark Side of an Andean Superfood

    Equally troubling is the fact that growers themselves are eating less of their gift from the gods. Last year, the Bolivian government acknowledged that national quinoa consumption over the previous five years had decreased 34%. Now there’s worry of malnutrition in the quinoa heartland as growers admit that it’s tempting to sell their entire harvest while prices are high.

    Today, an estimated 75 to 80% of processed food in the U.S. contains GMOs (genetically modified organism). For the past 15 years, Americans have been denied the basic right to know what’s in our food, despite the fact that more than 50 countries around the world already require labeling of genetically engineered food.

    Dairy: Reasons You Should Avoid It at all Costs

    5 Tips for Dealing with Dairy

      • Don’t rely on dairy for healthy bones. If you want healthy bones, get plenty of exercise and supplement with 2,000 IU of vitamin D daily.
      • Get your calcium from food. These include dark green leafy vegetables, sesame tahini, sea vegetables, and sardines or salmon with the bones.
      • Try giving up all dairy. That means eliminate milk, cheese, yogurt, and ice cream for two weeks and see if you feel better. You should notice improvements with yoursinuses, post-nasal drip, headaches, irritable bowel syndrome, energy, and weight. Then start eating dairy again and see how you feel. If you feel worse, you should try to give it up for life.
      • If you can tolerate dairy, use only raw, organic dairy products. I suggest focusing on fermented products like unsweetened yogurt and kefir, occasionally.
      • If you have to feed your child formula from milk, don’t worry. The milk in infant formula is hydrolyzed or broken down and easier to digest (although it can still cause allergies). Once your child is a year old, switch him or her to real food and almond milk.

    Still got milk? I hope not! Remember, dairy is not crucial for good health. I encourage you to go dairy-free and see what it does for you.

    vegansaurus!: What do to with a murdered goose: eat it! Obviously!

    vegansaurus:


    New York City is set to kill a bunch of geese, again. This year, however, instead of gassing them and throwing their bodies in a landfill, NYC made a deal with a Pennsylvania slaughterhouse to truck the geese there, where they’ll be killed, processed, and sent to Pennsylvania food…

    New Cool Word Needed

    A new cool word needs to be created for Sustainable Eaters. I am not a vegetarian or vegan and I don’t even really like labels. But, I am conscious of what I put in my body and where it comes from and it would be cool to have a word instead of my long explanation. An EcoVeg - A vegetarian who will eat meat/fish if it is ecofriendly? Eh, but it needs to encompass being humanely harvested, sustainable, organic, local etc. “Sustainable Eater” sounds kinda weird….

    Thoughts?
