Barbara H. Peterson, Guest Waking Times It starts with just one choice… The gift of choice. Ah, yes, that almost always confusing void in the middle of “what should I do” in which one must make a decision. But are our everyday decisions really important? The answer is a resounding YES! It’s not the big …
Thierry Vrain, Prevent Disease Waking Times I retired 10 years ago after a long career as a research scientist for Agriculture Canada. When I was on the payroll, I was the designated scientist of my institute to address public groups and reassure them that genetically engineered crops and foods were safe. There is, however, a …
Christina Sarich, Contributor Waking Times “What is my life if I am no longer useful to others?” ~ Goethe The reason technological advances should matter to us is because they can help to unleash a soul that has been caged in the modern matrix for millennia. This isn’t hocus pocus, or new age jargon. It’s …
Daisy Luther, OccupyMonsanto360 Waking Times A genetically modified rose by any other name may smell sweet, but may still have frankenthorns© that might independently detach themselves and lop off your finger while you’re smelling it for all you know. That’s not unlike a trip to the grocery store these days. There are a lot of …
Marco Torres, Prevent Disease Waking Times Consumers select organic foods over genetically modified organisms (GMO) for a variety of reasons, however besides the long list of potential health implications from consuming GMO, the one thing that impacts decision making more than anything else is nutrition. There are convincing differences between organic and GMO foods in …
Mike Barrett, Natural Society Waking Times Is GMO corn nutritionally equivalent to non-GMO corn? Monsanto will tell you the answer is a big ‘yes’, but the real answer is absolutely not. And the simple reality is that they are continuing to get away with their blatant misinformation. In fact, a 2012 nutritional analysis of genetically modified corn found that …
Barbara H. Peterson, Guest Writer Waking Times Compromise. That’s what it’s all about, eh? We are taught from early on that the only way to get along is to go along. Meet halfway, in the middle. Don’t be such a stickler. Nothing is so sacred or important that it cannot stand a little compromise. And just …
Anthony Gucciardi, Natural Society Waking Times In the typical slippery nature of Monsanto’s legislation-based actions, the biotech giant is now virtually guaranteed the ability to recklessly plant experimental GM crops without having to worry about the United States government and its subsequent courts. The Monsanto Protection Act buried deep within the budget resolution has passed the Senate, and …
Waking Times On Wednesday morning, HR 933 passed with the new rider dubbed by activists as the Monsanto Protection Act therein. The rider has nothing to do with proposed government spending to keep it running for the next six months. Alliance for Natural Health (ANH-USA) reported earlier: Once the CR passes the Senate, it will …
Anna Hunt, Staff Writer Waking Times In small Latin American countries, such as Guatemala, Costa Rica and Nicaragua, most farmers do not know the pros and cons of using genetically-modified organisms (GMOs). Many do not even know what GMO means. But Monsanto is changing all of this with an aggressive strategy to expand internationally, threatening many …
Anthony Gucciardi, Natural Society Waking Times Genetically modified organisms have permeated much of the crop industry, absolutely infesting the processed food market, but are many ‘health’ supplements free from the presence of GMOs? As it turns out, major supplement producers actually will openly admit that they derive many of their formulas from GMO crops — consumers just …
Barbara H. Peterson, Farm Wars Waking Times When is a fight for food freedom just the opposite? How about when that fight is about the right to plant second generation GMO seeds… We are not talking about conventional or organic seeds. We are talking about GMOs. Has everyone simply lost their collective mind? How self-destructive is …
Alex Pietrowski, Staff Writer Waking Times In 62 United States counties, citizens have to right to know if their food has been genetically altered, and more communities throughout the US (in some 37 states) are continuing to fight against unlabeled GM foods. The American population continues to learn of the harm GM is doing to …
Barbara H. Peterson, Farms Wars Waking Times Let’s get this straight. There is cannabis, and there is CANNABIS. One has relatively no THC levels, and the other does. It’s like two dogs – one a Chihuahua, the other a Great Dane. Same species, different breeds. The one with higher levels of THC is normally referred …
Marco Torres, Prevent Disease Waking Times When it comes to health, children today are guided by an illusion of reality. Teachers in the educational system have only the best of intentions, but unfortunately even they are led by a curriculum so distorted from our natural world, that it is nearly impossible for children to learn …
Pesticide Action Network Waking Times Humans have been farming for 10,000 years. Sixty years ago, after World War II, we started industrializing U.S. farming operations through a mix of policy decisions and accidents of history. This method of farming is neither inevitable nor efficient. More to the point, it can’t be sustained. Industrial agriculture treats …
Dr. Mercola Waking Times Polluted drinking water is a significant health threat that is sorely under-reported and oft-ignored. A recent article in the Star Tribune1 highlights the very real struggle to access clean drinking water right here in the United States. “Debbie Carlson can laugh at the irony: She’s the wife of a well digger who can’t …
Raluca Schachter, Guest Writer Waking Times How important is it what you put in your mouth, after all? How much man made, toxic lab food can one ingest before negative symptoms show up? How much more sickness does this society have to endure before we finally stay united and demand more from our food system, through …
Alex Pietrowski, Staff Writer Waking Times The monarch butterfly is yet another animal species that appears to be in rapid decline due to the rise in herbicide-resistant genetically modified (GM) crops. These butterflies lay eggs on milkweed plants, and once the eggs hatch, monarch caterpillars feed exclusively on the weed. Yet, the overuse of Monsanto’s …
Alex Pietrowski, Staff Writer Waking Times The North-Eastern European country, Poland, has become the latest EU nation to ban the production of genetically modified (GM) crops, although, the European Food Safety Authority has approved GM crops as being safe for cultivation. Poland’s Ministry of Agriculture has opted to take advantage of a special ‘safeguard clause’ …
