It takes a village of girls

The fourth-grade girls of Avon Center School in Round Lake Beach have something to say about school lunch food and we need to start listening. http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=373210 


Way to go girls!!!!

Whole Foods, you know better!

This proves more reason why we need to support our local communities by purchasing produce and other products at farmers markets. After watching this story the only question I have to ask Whole Foods is, 


Would the third party accredited agent on the farms in China to meet the organic standards please stand up?

Killing me softly

FACT: 76 MILLION Americans get food poisoning EVER YEAR.

The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) says the prime culprit is animals agriculture. So when is everyone going to pay attention to what you eat before its too late? There’s a reason why there are so many food recalls from the meat industry, spinach, peanuts and so forth. It isn’t a isolated incident when 76 million Americans are getting food poisoning every year from e.coli infection, MRSA, staph infection, salmonella poisoning, etc. There have been thousands if not hundreds of thousands of cases where young children have died from e.coli infections. Unfortunately, their immune systems are not strong enough to fight it the infections and it one too many cases the child has died. So why do we wait for something bad happens to change our lifestyle?

E.coli

E. Coli. The word that could make anyone cringe. I never knew anyone who'd gone through an infection until now. A relative of mind was diagnosed with e.coli infection and a UTC as well, WTF?

In 2010, the world of the internet, how is it people are still getting infected with a potential deadly infection like e.coli?
