WARNING: Check your ground beef before you grill out this Memorial Day weekend

A representative for the U.S. Department of Agriculture said the meat is being removed from store shelves. But consumers should return or throw out meat that has the code EST.2574B and a production date between March 31 and April 18, 2014.
The ground beef is sold under a variety of labels, according to the USDA, but comes from Wolverine Packing Co. in Detroit.

"In all the years I’ve been fishing I never caught any fish like this."

SURPRISE (and I don't mean Arizona):
You folks on the west coast of North America might want to consider your activities this coming summer. Maybe if YOU go swimming in the same water these fish swam in, a couple years later YOU could come out looking like they look!

California, here I come...NOT!

Today, about 38 million people live in the state of California.

There isn’t going to be enough water for all of them in the years ahead.

And there certainly isn’t going to be enough water in the years ahead to produce the massive amount of food that California is currently producing.
But this is just a RETURN to the previous condition of this part of the country!
Unfortunately for California, the truth is that the weather in the western half of the country is simply returning to historical norms. Scientists tell us that the 20th century was the wettest century in the western half of the United States in 1000 years, and that extremely dry conditions are normally what we should expect for most areas from the Pacific Ocean to the Mississippi River. If long-term conditions truly are “returning to normal”, then the state of California could be heading for a water crisis of unprecedented magnitude.

But it is not just the state of California that should be concerned. The reality of the matter is that the produce grown in California feeds the rest of the nation.

We're leaving my home state in just a couple of months...but what about the food that California supplies to the rest of the country? I hope Arizona grows some of their own...

7 worst ingredients in food

More than 3,000 food additives -- preservatives, flavorings, colors and other ingredients -- are added to US foods, and this is one of the key reasons why I recommend avoiding most of the processed foods that contain them.

While many well-meaning nutritionists will teach you the importance of reading food labels, the easiest way to eat healthy is to stick with foods that need no food label at all… When was the last time you saw an ingredients list on a grass-fed steak or a bunch or broccoli?

There’s a good chance, though, that you do eat some processed foods, and if this is the case reading the label is invaluable. There are literally thousands of ‘red flags’ to watch out for in the foods you eat, but a handful take the proverbial cake for worst of the worst.

Third world brings pork tapeworm nightmare to U.S.

Some fall into comas. Some are paralyzed down one side of their body. Others can’t walk a straight line. Still others come to [Dr. George] Nash partially blind, or with so much fluid in their brain that they need shunts implanted to relieve the pressure. Some lose the ability to speak; many fall into violent seizures….

The closer scientists look at the epidemiology of the disease, the worse it becomes. . .

Neurocysticercosis is only “a very important disease worldwide” thanks to mass, Third-World emigration. . .Some other blessings brought by mass, Third-World immigration to America’s reeling health care system:

The conscience of a pro-life, vegan conservative

NATIONAL REVIEW ONLINE
October 7, 2013
Pro-Life, Pro-Animal

Matthew Scully has been a speechwriter in each of the last six presidential general-election campaigns and was a special assistant to President George W. Bush. He is the author of Dominion: The Power of Man, the Suffering of Animals, and the Call to Mercy.

"The idea of animal protection as a cause of the Left is wildly overstated, put about by livestock interests and other animal-use industries to scare mainstream America away, just as NARAL et al. want us to think of protecting the rights of the unborn as the crazy obsession of the Right."

Mr. Scully discusses both the LEFT...
Some in the animal-protection movement mistake the cause for a part of the liberal progressive agenda (as if the Obama years have ushered in some golden era of cruelty-free living in America) and can be so wrapped up in that ideology as to ignore the most obvious of connections. In what moral universe does it makes sense to protect a wolf, pig, dog, or any other animal from needless suffering and violence, but not a human baby stirring in her mother’s womb? To their lasting credit, many animal activists post pictures on the Internet from factory farms, slaughterhouses, laboratories, and elsewhere, scenes so nightmarish at times that you have to study them for a moment before the horror of what’s unfolding becomes clear. How many of those same good people have ever brought themselves to look at pictures and films (even the ultrasonic and relatively endurable Silent Scream) showing what happens in an abortion, especially after the second or third month of fetal development, and to whom it happens? Different people are called to serve different causes, and if your vocation is to protect animals then no one is saying you have to sign up right away at National Right to Life. But if the creed is empathy for the weak, shouldn’t your sympathies at least lie in that direction?

...and the RIGHT:
Representative Steve King of Iowa, for example, is a solid pro-life vote every time and, just as dependably, an apologist for animal cruelty. He typifies a certain way of looking at animals that manages to be both lofty in tone and morally obtuse in practice. An influential member of the House Agriculture Committee, the man has opposed any kind of leniency for farm animals, dogs in puppy mills or dog-fight rings, birds used by cockfighters, horses bound for slaughter plants, exotic wildlife slain by big-game trophy hunters, any creature at all. All the while, he uses his pro-life principles as a pretext for doing nothing on behalf of animals, in a version of the abortion–cruelty connection that other conservatives have also traded on. The idea is that since the law does not now grant full protection to the unborn, any attempt to protect animal life is an expression of profoundly misplaced priorities, subversive to the sanctity of human life, an affront to Man in all his glory. The result of this high-minded stance? Glorious man, made in the image of God, can go back to his dog-fighting, cock-fighting, chick-grinding, hog torture, wolf slaughter, and general abuse of the animal world without being held to account.

If it is possible to give pro-life principles a bad name, little tyrants like Steve King are the ones who can do it. They are making excuses, not arguments. They are friends of power, not of life, serving no cause except human arrogance — in the spirit of what Governor Bob Casey used to call the Imperial Self. By showing such contempt for the healthy majority of voters in both parties who care about animals, they aren’t doing the Republican party any favors, either.
"The factory farms — producing almost every animal product we see sold or advertised, in our country and most others — are places of immense and avoidable suffering. And though the moral stakes are not the same as with abortion, the moral habits are, relying in both cases on the averted gaze and a smothering of empathy."

Do you eat honey and live in the U.S.?

A third or more of all the honey consumed in the U.S. is likely to have been smuggled in from China and may be tainted with illegal antibiotics and heavy metals. A Food Safety News investigation has documented that millions of pounds of honey banned as unsafe in dozens of countries are being imported and sold here in record quantities.

And the flow of Chinese honey continues despite assurances from the Food and Drug Administration and other federal officials that the hundreds of millions of pounds reaching store shelves were authentic and safe following the widespread arrests and convictions of major smugglers over the last two years.

Experts interviewed by Food Safety News say some of the largest and most long-established U.S. honey packers are knowingly buying mislabeled, transshipped or possibly altered honey so they can sell it cheaper than those companies who demand safety, quality and rigorously inspected honey.

Remember how the Chinese poisoned our animals several years ago??

Now look what's going on:
According to a recent post in the Seattle Times, China now makes…
  • 70 percent of the world’s penicillin
  • 50 percent of the earth’s aspirin
  • 35 percent of its acetaminophen (generic Tylenol)
The bulk of the world’s vitamins A, B12, C and E
Since China's cornered the entire world's vitamin market, you can bet I'll continue to shop with Melaleuca.com (as I've done since October, 2001) since everything (cleaning products, pet products, food products, vitamin products, body-care products, etc.) is MADE IN THE USA!!

What, no meat in that burger??

A study recently published in the journal Annals of Diagnostic Pathology determined that some fast food hamburgers may contain as little as 2 % actual meat(1). If that’s the case, what makes up the rest of it?

HALAL: Ritual Slaughter hidden from consumers funds terrorism

...whenever you buy one of the many halal-certified products increasingly found in our Western countries, even without your knowledge and against your will, you are indirectly contributing to Islamic terrorists, killers of Christians in the Middle East, al-Qaeda-linked groups and so on. Buy halal and you fund jihad against Israel.

First DHS buys up all the ammo...now FEMA's trying to stock up on huge quantities of food

So what the hell is really going on here?
I’m not one to cry that the sky is always falling, but when DHS/FEMA make a move to quietly buy up emergency food supplies and ask how much we can ship within 24 hours…I think this is far enough outside the realm of what is “normal” to beg some questions.

Fortunately I’ve been in this business long enough to predict what happens next. One or more of the other “survival companies” out there will inevitably see a chance to make a quick buck from Uncle Sam (which is really paid for by us, the taxpayer). This could create a run on many of the core raw ingredients used by emergency food makers that will cause a ripple effect throughout the industry as supply chains become bottle-necked handling the FEMA/DHS request.”

This is extremely disturbing to know.

What is the government gearing up for? A major disaster or war they know is coming?

DANGEROUS MEAT

 AND, IT IS AS CRUEL AS IT GETS

ATTENTION ALL AMERICANS!!! URGENT AND I DO MEAN URGENT BULLETIN: CONCERNING AMERICAS FOOD CHAIN!!!!
This is IMPORTANT to everyone!!! Quite possibly a food supplier of groceries, eat in or take out food in your area may be doing this without your knowledge. How they get around the FDA and Dept of Agriculture is beyond me. What is this? It is unclean non inspected meat, that has not been subjected to the rigourous inspections that meat normally gets. This meat has been slaughtered in Muslim tradition without any safeguards what so ever. The web site below boasts about Halal meat now being available in markets, grocery chains, restaurants, all types of fast food places and this is not just beef but poutry, and all other forms of meat products or poultry. Be very careful about what you buy and eat. The MUSLIM's in this country are now infiltrating and subjecting our meat chain to a serious threat. I am suggesting that all businesses in America who are supportive and take part in this for the sake of so few, should be BOYCOTTED NOW permanently until all HALAL meat and poultry are removed from their stores, restaurants, facilities etc.
Please share this far and wide this is VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION!!!!!!

Obama empowered FEMA to confiscate your food

From well-known natural foods expert Gary Null:
They also have managed, through the Food Health Safety legislation that was signed into law, they have put language of a type in there that would make it impossible, based upon the enormous bureaucratic paperwork, as well as the machinery necessary to grade and sterilize or otherwise manipulate seed to their standards, it would wipe out all small, organic and sustainable agricultural activists in the United States. . .

. . .FEMA is now collecting data on every single person in the United States that grows food so they have it in their databank. . .in case of any emergency, your food would be confiscated. All food would be confiscated.

We now know that there is legislation that is passed, and signed into law by Obama, that sets up this exact system. . .
