You Need to Know This If You Eat Tyson Chicken

Mercola

by Dr. Joseph Mercola

November 29, 2008

Tyson Foods, the world's largest meat processor and the second largest chicken producer in the U.S., has admitted that it injects its chickens with antibiotics before they hatch and then labels them as raised without antibiotics.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has told Tyson to stop using the antibiotic-free label, but the company has sued for the right to keep using it. After Tyson began labeling its chicken antibiotic-free, the USDA warned the company that such labels were not truthful, because Tyson regularly treats its birds' feed with bacteria-killing ionophores.

You mean it's not possible to provide contraception insurance at no cost to ... anybody?

Well, duh. What's crazy is that the administration has ever tried to say otherwise.

Fortunately, insurers aren't afraid to state the obvious. Hidden - or not-so-hidden - in the administration's insistent mandate that insurers provide coverage for contraception to the employees of religiously-affiliated organizations is a very real cost.

You Knew It Was Coming...First Vaccine Announced For Autism

April 26, 2013

A first-ever vaccine created by University of Guelph researchers to control autistic symptoms is here. The medical propaganda matrix has once again come full circle with their patented problem-reaction-solution.

Although there is no study which directly links vaccines as the cause of autism, there have been hundreds of others with correlations. Even if scientists are dismissive on the causation front, why do they continue to explore methods which are misinformed, misguided and completely ineffective? Constipation and diarrhea are common in autistic patients. So what's the solution? A vaccine of course.

You dumb racist conservatives are dumb. And racist.

We've got a brand spanking new, rootin' tootin' study, fresh off the press from a distinguished group of scientists. (And I can tell they were scientists because I checked, and most of them were wearing white lab coats.)

In it, we find what we already suspected about the party that hates science, clings to their guns and their God, and disapproves of Barack Obama not because of his damaging policies, but because he's black. Yep... you guessed it. Turns out that conservatives are stupid. And racist.

You Can't Protect Your Private Property From The Surveillance State

If you're looking for police officers who believe their job is to protect and serve, don't look to Naperville, Ill. There, officers support and help to enforce 4th Amendment violations.

The city, like many across America, is installing "smart" electric meters on homes. "Smart" meters are government surveillance devices designed to accumulate data that includes day-to-day activity in such detail that the "enforcers" are actually using power usage records to obtain search warrants on homeowners. Naperville homeowner Jennifer Stahl has long opposed the installation of a "smart" meter on her home. She was one of the last holdouts. But a locked gate, fenced yard and standing between power workers and her home did not prevent the totalitarian badge-wearing enforcement class from pushing her aside and installing the meter anyway. After cutting the lock off the gate, police arrested her and charged her with interfering with police officer and preventing access to customer premises. Her interference consisted entirely of standing in her own yard.

You Can Thank Genetic Engineering For Your Delicious Cheese

It used to be that making cheese meant killing cows. Young cows, specifically-a few days old, at most. The stomach of an unweaned calf produces enzymes that turn liquid milk into good, hard, flavorful cheeses like Parmesan and Cheddar.

Today, it is estimated that 80-90% of cheese in the US and UK is made using FPC. The GMO-derived enzyme has been a boon for cheese manufacturing and cheese sales. The US produced about 11-billion pounds of cheese in 2013 alone, thanks in large part to the cost-effectiveness of FPC. The technology has transformed the industry, making it more efficient, more environmentally friendly, and less dependent on animals. It has also fanned the flames of our addiction; today, the average American eats thirty-three pounds of cheese per year, nearly three times the 1970s rate.

You Can And Should Record Police Encounters: It's The Law

December 3, 2012

Your best defense against abusive law enforcement officers is a video recorder. Almost everyone now has a recorder with them at all times, thanks to advances in smartphone technology. People should use them.

The recorder is bane to the abusive badge-wielding enforcers who resort to force, intimidation, Tasers or worse if their subject doesn't immediately comply with all demands, no matter how ridiculous or illegal. Because of this, many civilians who have recorded their own or other people's encounters with police have found themselves handcuffed and sitting in the back of a patrol car. Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed a citizen's right to record encounters with law enforcement by letting stand a Seventh U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling making the practice legal. It overturned an anti-eavesdropping law in Illinois that made it a class 1 felony - punishable by up to 15 years in prison - for anyone to record individuals performing their duties as law enforcement officers.

Yosemite: 1,700 may have had exposure to rodent-borne illness

August 28, 2012

Yosemite National Park is warning 1,700 people that they may have been exposed to a potentially deadly rodent-borne lung disease while staying in the famous California park, and said that two visitors had died from the illness known as hantavirus.

The tourists who died had stayed in Curry Village, a popular camping area tucked below the park's sheer granite walls, a Yosemite spokesman said on Tuesday. A third visitor was sickened by the virus but recovering. Investigators were looking into whether a fourth visitor was suffering from the illness, which is carried by wild rodents. All four stayed in the area's tent cabins on overlapping days in mid-June, spokesman Scott Gediman said.
