HIPPIES NO SLOUCHES

HIPPIES NO SLOUCHES

Perhaps hippies were right, they do know where it's at.

They also spawned some very fine environmentalists and have been touting the values of natural foods for years. I see in the news that Pepsico, owner of the Gatorade trademark have announced that they will be removing the ingredient in Gatorade that is brominated vegetable oil, which Mountain dew also contains. This substance is actually patented as a fire retardant and is banned in Japan and the European Union. This comes after the company was pressured by the Sports community.  Pepsico has definitely made a step in the right direction there.

Now if only the rest of the food, snack makers, and drink makers would follow suit that easily and get rid of GMO's and particularly make the connection that Aspartame is not in any way beneficial to ones health and in fact detrimental to having good health. Chocolate laced with GMO soy bean oil has me and many others cutting back on chocolate and even avoiding it when it's known to have GMO in it.

Sugar is absolutely the lesser evil. Yes,white refined sugar is not good for you. When I say sugar I mean raw natural cane sugar and any products that need sweetening should look no further than that, honey or molasses. Anything natural.

Diet pop is the biggest joke on the planet. Loaded with Aspartame, this stuff can actually help you to gain weight and develop some serious illnesses. I shudder everytime I see someone drinking diet pop. Educated people usually have a good handle on eating and drinking well and healthy, this being the exception.

More people need to band together to get the point across that natural and organic foods lend themselves to longevity and promote good health. Educate yourself against what companies like Monsanto are trying to do and join the movement against this evil tyranny bent on turning everyone into a chemically induced zombie state ripe for being brainwashed,malleable and doing exactly what your government asks of you without question. Does this sound far fetched? I and many other think not!
Keep in mind that cancer did not exist until man started introducing facory made foods full of chemicals.

Give me natural and make it affordable. Quit trying to shove toxic chemicals down our throats every time we turn around. If your government leaders really cared about your well being, there would be no such thing as Aspartame for human consumption. That goes for both the FDA and Health Canada.Long live the hippies and their ideals. Stamp out chemical additives known to be harmful. At the end of the day, it's all up to you.

Poverty At Home

Poverty At Home

Written by : Jeffrey Hilton

I would like to touch on a subject that is making the rounds that I fully support.  Charity should start at home !  Charities, Rescue,  and other agencies are asking for money all the time from us,   and the majority of this aid,  goes to help in foreign countries.  While that is very noble, what about,  Battered Women,  Veterans,  Homeless People,  and the many children that are undernourished right here in North America or the U.K. etc. ?  Children are going hungry and full blown poverty is a reality right now in today's shaky down-turned economy.

As Canadians,  Americans,  and others,   we seem to care more about helping other countries abroad first,  before we help our own people.  This is not right and needs rethinking.  What I say is,  help a Canadian or American worthy cause that caters to our own first and then if you are lucky enough to afford the luxury of helping charities abroad,  then good for you.  There are many worthy charities. my financial situation usually dictates that I can give very little to charity. As such I always give to the Salvation Army and to the Veterans through the poppy charity.I give to these two charities even if I  only have a few dollars. I know that this will help Canadians and that they are both worthwhile charities that don't skim huge amounts off for administration.  Why should we have such rampant poverty in two of the richest countries in the world
with unlimited resources ?


I was approached yesterday to give to world vision and asked if I knew what their organization did.  Of course I do. why wouldn't
 I ?  They spend what would appear to be millions on advertising their cause.  I explained that I was on disability and could in no way afford to contribute.  The charities that spend the most on advertising are the ones you should be wary of.   Would I like to see cancer cured ?  Yes of course,  but if you added up all the money that goes for direct research and then found out what amount went to the untold numbers of administrators and such. You may see that these people are making huge salaries from this lucrative charity and living like retired politicians with their golden pensions,  would you still give to them ?


Research funds should not come from people like you and I,  but rather from the government themselves.  How many billions have they collected ?  And there still isn't a cure so keep sending us that money folks, until it hurts. I know this is not a foreign charity but it's not found a cure yet. A cure for cancer ?  If there is such an undiscovered cure, I think it will come from a medical scientist outside of the Cancer Society and that the cancer organization won't like it a bit as this would severely cut into their profits.  It's more likely the cure would get swept under the carpet,  like the Aspartame issues,  because too many people are making way too much money gained by donations to the cause.

Let's be Canadians and Americans that help other Canadians and Americans first. Cure the woes we suffer here first, then work our way around the world.  Surely common sense dictates this to be more reasonable.  I believe a good day is the feeling you get knowing you helped your own countrymen first and knowing they benefited greatly from it.  Then if you want to help in foreign countries, go ahead.  Please help eradicate poverty at home !
