The Unnoticed Conspiracy: Food Faddism
(24 February 2012)
A recent "universal and dictatorial regime of dietary control ... is
causing devastating changes in the health of the world's population
... In the decades following the social upheaval of the 60's, at
about the same time as many other profound changes, the dietary
habits of [the UK] were criticized [and] a new regimen came in..."
Food Control / Sustainability
Factory Fed Fish: Monsanto and Cargill's Plans
for the Ocean (17 July
2012)
"The mass cultivation of GM soybeans has a hugely detrimental
environmental and health impact worldwide. As it stands, soy is
widely used in our diets, in processed foods and found in most meat,
as soy is fed to animals on CAFOs. The next 'natural' step, at least
according to two of the largest stakeholders in the soy industry,
Monsanto and food giant Cargill, is to make soy the feed of choice
for factory-farmed fish around the world - a move they are
misleadingly labelling as 'sustainable'..."
Obama and the Marxist Politburo Set to Use
Food and Famine as a Weapon
(02 August 2009)
"History is an excellent teacher. In 1932 and 1933, six and
possibly up to 20 million people in the Soviet Ukraine and Moldavia
died from starvation due to Josef Stalin's efforts to crush
Ukrainian nationalism and to implement his prescription of 'change'
in the former Soviet Union when the Communist regime nationalized
the food industry and forced all farms into collectives..."
Famine as Commerce
(01-15 August 2002)
"Some years back, a keynote speaker at the International
Famine Centre at Cork, Ireland, detailed how maize was loaded on
ships bound for Britain at the height oft great Irish potato famine
that killed some 1.5 million people more than 150 years ago. He
paused and then lamented, 'I wonder what kind of people lived at
that time who were not even remotely offended at the sight of
millions dying of hunger in the same village where the ships were
being loaded'..."
Organic Food
Father Harassed by CPS for Feeding Kids
Organic Food (13 December
2010)
"A father of two was harassed and investigated by Child
Protective Services and police for feeding his daughters organic
food, refusing to make them drink fluoride-poisoned tap water and
not having them injected with mercury-laden vaccines, all of which
constitutes 'suspicious activity' in the new Sovietised America, a
foretaste of what's to come once Big Sis' Wal-Mart spy campaign gets
up and running..."
Raw Food
Raw Milk
No Deaths in 38 Years From This Raw Food - So
Why is it Condemned? (14
January 2012)
"There has not been a single death from drinking raw milk
since collection of food safety data began in 1973. For comparison,
there have been over 40 deaths from Pasteurized milk during that
time period, and another 50 deaths from pasteurized cheese." /
"[O]utbreaks of illness resulting from the consumption of
pasteurized milk are kept from public knowledge, and escapes
warnings from both [the U.S.] Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and
[the U.S.] Food and Drug Administration [FDA]..."
FDA Says: Drinking This Natural Food is a
Crime (06 July 2011)
"It might have been consumed all over the world for thousands
of years, but according to the FDA you don't have the right to make
an educated choice about whether to feed it to your family. ... The
war on raw milk, which is really an unconstitutional assault on one
of your most basic rights, i.e. your right to choose what you want
to eat and drink, is now in full swing and will likely intensify in
the days ahead..."
FDA's Response to FTCLDF's Suit Over
Interstate Raw Milk Ban
(06 May 2010)
"Growing numbers of people in [the US] are obtaining the
foods of their choice through private contractual arrangements such
as buyers; club agreements and herdshare contracts. FDA's position
is that the agency can interfere with these arrangements because, in
FDA's view, there is no fundamental right to enter into a private
contract to the foods of choice from the source of choice..."

Vegetarianism and Veganism
The Great Vegan Backlash (14
February 2019)
Readers'
comments: "As usual urban, metropolitan types can't
be bothered to learn how livestock farming in the UK, almost always
on land unsuitable fro crops, sustains land management including the
wildlife. This in turn is a vital component of sustaining socially
healthy rural communities" / "If we get rid of all farm
animals, so no more sheep, cattle, pigs, chickens, turkeys, etc,
what will be used instead of manure to fertilise the fields? Lots
more chemicals that kill insects and other wildlife?"
Stop Shoving Veganism Down Our Throats
(13 February 2019)
"When I was 17 I went to stay with my
favourite aunt, who lived in Sussex. She was a pescatarian, a
vegetarian who ate fish. It was the first time in my life I had not
eaten meat for a week and it initially made me feel very healthy. I
returned home to South Africa and announced to my parents that I was
now a vegetarian. As with so many good intentions, this path led me
straight into dietary hell..."
The Vegan Controversy (12
February 2019)
"Today, I had planned to write about
the rise and seemingly unstoppable advance of full-on veganism. To
clarify, I don't mean vegetarianism or simply avoiding meat to spare
the suffering of animals. I mean the shunning of ALL products,
whether edible or not, that involve animal ingredients, not so much
as a personal choice but as an environmental statement ... on
following up my own researches on the Net I found several facts:..."
Vegetarianism Isn't Just Bad, It's Bad For You (18
August 2016)
"Most Western vegetarians I've met
are either atheists or fans of some dubious Eastern creeds ...
That's hardly surprising ... because Judaeo-Christianity precludes
anthropomorphism, which is an essential part of many Eastern faiths.
In our anthropocentric civilisation, killing animals doesn't
constitute murder, as the more crazed vegetarians claim. In fact,
the Western position of carnivorism was manifestly laid down in
Genesis: 'Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even
as the green herb have I given you all things.'..."
Veganism Isn't a Diet - It's an Ideology (05 August
2016)
"The problem with veganism is
that it too easily becomes an ideology, one underpinned by the
ideals of purification, cleansing and asceticism. Like all
ideologies, it is inevitably prone to extremism, intolerance and the
appeals of dogma ... It is a religion of the self, of
self-abnegation, self-denial and self-righteousness ... [of]
narcissism, selfies, self-worship and virtue signalling..."
Ten Portions of Veg a Day?
(06 April 2014)
"In theory, I should be pleased
to be told that henceforth I should eat only plants. After all, my
family tease me that I eat so much green stuff my body is probably
capable of photosynthesis..."

Farmageddon
(17 April 2012)
"Americans' right to access fresh, healthy foods of their
choice is under attack. Farmageddon tells the story of small, family
farms that were providing safe, healthy foods to their communities
and were forced to stop, sometimes through violent action, by agents
of misguided government bureaucracies, and seeks to figure out why.
... Farmageddon stresses the urgency of food freedom. Though the
film deals with intense scenes and dramatic situations, the overall
tone is optimistic, encouraging farmers and consumers alike to take
action to preserve individuals' rights to access food of their
choice and farmers' rights to produce these foods."
Websites
Mercola.com - Take Control of Your Health
This site aims to "make you as healthy
as can possibly be. This involves: (1) Providing the most up to date
natural health information and resources that will most benefit you
and, (2) Exposing corporate, government and mass media hype that
diverts you away from what is truly best for your health and often
to a path that leads straight to an early grave."
The Weston A. Price Foundation
"The Foundation is dedicated to
restoring nutrient-dense foods to the human diet through education,
research and activism. It supports a number of movements that
contribute to this objective including accurate nutrition
instruction, organic and biodynamic farming, pasture-feeding of
livestock, community-supported farms, honest and informative
labelling, prepared parenting and nurturing therapies. ... [We]
stand united in the belief that modern technology should be
harnessed as a servant to the wise and nurturing traditions of our
ancestors rather than used as a force destructive to the environment
and human health; and that science and knowledge can validate those
traditions."
Health Impact News Daily
"HIND brings you the latest news
regarding issues that impact your health you may find difficult to
find in other media sources: Medicine Watch, Real Food Nutrition,
Sustainable Agriculture, Alternative Health, Coconut Health,
Created4Health, Videos. We learned first hand in the late 1990s and
early 2000 that the truth regarding health and nutrition about fats
and oils was NOT being published in the mainstream media. ... There
are many other issues regarding your health that are NOT being
published on the the mainstream media today, due to political and
economic reasons, NOT scientific reason. We will publish the truth
on this website."
Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund
"The FTCLDF ... is a non-profit
organization whose members are joining together and pooling
resources to: (1) Protect the constitutional right of the nation's
family farms and artisan food producers to provide processed and
unprocessed farm foods directly to consumers through any legal
means; (2) Protect the constitutional right of consumers to obtain
unprocessed and processed foods directly from family farms and
artisan food producers; (3) Protect the nation's family farms and
artisan food producers from harassment by federal, state, and local
government interference with food production and/or food processing.
The objective of FTCLDF is to defend the rights of sustainable
family farms and artisan food producers to make their products
available to consumers in a manner that protects, preserves and
enhances the environment and its natural resources, products that
include but are not limited to meat and meat products, poultry,
eggs, raw milk and raw milk products, fruits and vegetable,
lacto-fermented foods and beverages, prepared foods, and bread and
other baked goods directly to consumers without a license or
permit."
Hook and Son
"Our aim is to manage a dairy herd that
is truly sustainable; caring for the wildlife and environment around
us, whilst making the farm viable enough to support our family. We
converted the farm to organic farming methods in 1998, achieving
Soil Association certification in August 2000. This means that we
farm without the use of any chemicals or routine antibiotics. We
sell our milk on our two local milk rounds, farmers markets in
London ... and also offer a pioneering nationwide delivery service.
Delivering our milk to you straight from the farm means that not
only is it extremely fresh, you also know the exact source of your
milk. ... our milk is raw milk, it hasn't been pasteurised or
homogenised, and nothing has been added or taken away. The pastures
are free of fertilizers and pesticides. This means that our milk is
extremely natural and pure. We work with nature, so that our cows
are happy in a stress free environment. The national average life of
a dairy cow is six years. Our cows' average age is nine!"
The Green Agenda
"We should all want to be wise and
careful stewards of the beautiful planet we call home. But most of
us realise that humans in general are not being good stewards. We
are wasteful with our natural resources and have reduced
biodiversity. Therefore, when we read about groups and organisations
calling for a 'green revolution' and a new relationship between
humanity and nature it is easy to agree with their ideas. However,
certain aspects of the modern green movement that is permeating
every segment of our society are not about protecting the
environment. You don't have to dig very deep to discover the true
beliefs of the influential leaders who are using genuine concerns
about the environment to promote an agenda of fear and control..."

The Little Green
Book of Eco-Fascism (2013)
"Do you believe we should
bomb our economy back to the dark ages? Carpet our beautiful
countryside with bat-chomping, bird-slicing eco-crucifixes?
Indoctrinate our kids with scary North Korea-style propaganda
nonsense in order to deal with the alleged perils of 'climate
change'? Neither does [this author]..."
Watermelons
(2011)
"If global warming isn't real then
how come the ice caps are melting? Why would all the world's top
scientists lie to us? What exactly is so wrong with biofuels, wind
farms, carbon taxes, sustainability and preserving scarce resources
for future generations? And what about Bangladesh, the drowning
Maldives and all those endangered polar bears? [This author] has all
the answers - and they're not the ones Al Gore would like you to
hear. In Watermelons [this author] tells the shocking true
story of how a handful of political activists, green campaigners and
voodoo scientists engineered the world's biggest, most expensive and
destructive outbreak of mass hysteria - one that threatens the very
fabric of Western Civilisation. As the world stands on the brink of
a new Great Depression, [this author's] message could not be more
timely or urgent. In order to save our planet must we really
surrender to the green movement's misanthropic tyranny? Or might
there be a better way?"
The
Whole Soy Story: The Dark Side of America's Favorite Health Food
(2005)
"Soy is NOT a health food,
Soy is NOT the answer to world hunger, Soy is NOT a panacea, Soy has
NOT even been proven safe. Hundreds of epidemiological, clinical and
laboratory studies link soy to malnutrition, digestive problems,
thyroid dysfunction, cognitive decline, reproductive disorders,
immune system breakdown, even heart disease and cancer. Most at risk
are children given soy formula, vegetarians who eat soy as their
main source of protein and adults self-medicating with soy foods and
supplements." ... "[This book] is a devastating and authoritative
indictment of the safety of soy foods and a 'must read' for
consumers who are under the misconception that soy foods promote
health. Convincingly argued and extensively supported by the medical
and scientific literature, it exposes the misleading propaganda used
by the soy industry to promote the supposed benefits of this
inferior food."
The
Skeptical Environmentalist: Measuring the Real State of the World
(2001)
"The idea for this book was born in a bookstore in Los
Angeles in February 1997. I was standing leafing through Wired
Magazine and read an interview with the American economist
Julian Simon, from the University of Maryland. He maintained that
much of our traditional knowledge about the environment is quite
simply based on preconceptions and poor statistics. Our doomsday
conceptions of the environment are not correct. He stressed that he
only used official statistics, which everyone has access to and can
use to check his claims. I was provoked. I'm an old left-wing
Greenpeace member and had for a long time been concerned about
environmental questions..."
