Is this what we want ? 
Next time you have a beautiful meal with chicken, beef, turkey or any other meat, think about where it cam from . . . .and help make some changes. This is deplorable, sadistic, cruel and sanctioned by the food industry. . . 

Just for the record, I am not a vegan. I believe we are supposed to eat meat, that our bodies need it. However ingesting meats that are traumatized is not acceptable. 

​Will you be silent about this or will you make different choices? That is the question I ask of you today . . .

What happens when a Chinese economist and an award winning reporter end up in New York City and India in the same week? These two observant, sensitive people have a life changing experience when they notice the stark differences in what foods people are able to buy while living at the poverty line. This begins a whole new project to document what life if like around the world for and what's for dinner for the poorest.

I have said many times before . . .the best way to get conversations going about really difficult subjects is to deliver with a dose of humor. Unfortunately this is pretty rare but hats off to the folks at www.rethinkbreastcancer.com for this piece.

Not only is the new APP for TLC brilliant, but the video is devilishly funny.  I predict this will be a wildly successful campaign and go a long way to getting women to actually do the self examinations regularly.

Please share and comment.

Being the change you want to see. Lovely citizen.

"But even if they had told me that winning would have earned me a place in the Spanish team for the European championships, I wouldn't have done it either. Of course it would be another thing if there was a world or European medal at stake. Then, I think that, yes, I would have exploited it to win... But I also think that I have earned more of a name having done what I did than if I had won. And that is very important, because today, with the way things are in all circles, in soccer, in society, in politics, where it seems anything goes, a gesture of honesty goes down well."

Honesty of the Long Distance Runner

Poland has outlawed GMO foods. France has successfully prosecuted Monsanto for its dirty business practices. Is America next in line to finally begin to stand up to hidden dangers in the food supply? Audience participation and transparency make these changes possible. Engage for change.
