Watch This and You Will Never Drink Conventional Milk Again

Seriously, I am not sure what the factory farms and the companies that use them think! Consumers are not likely to purchase meat products that are produced under such unsanitary conditions, and where the animals are subject to such abuse before the meat or milk products reach our table.


I have stopped purchasing beef, chicken and pork that are produced by factory farms. I only purchase dairy products that are made using organic methods, and there is no use of pesticides, growth hormones, and antibiotics. We all deserve better and the animals that sustain us also need to be treated in a humane fashion!


Vote with your purse! Don't purchase meat and dairy products from factory farms that follow unsanitary and inhumane practices!

How GMOs Cause Farmer Suicide!

GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISM

This is another good article from Mercola.com. Dr. Mercola is doing such a good job educating us about genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and the potential damaging consequences to humans and the food chain!


Farmers in India have been committing suicide due to their inability to pay off loans when their crops fail. The farmers used GMO seeds which apparently costs more and requires more water and pesticides than traditional seeds.

Story at-a-glance

  • The introduction of genetically engineered seeds, and the coercion of Indian farmers to use them, has led to the largest wave of recorded suicides in human history
  • More than a quarter of a million Indian farmers have committed suicide over the past 16 years as their crops have failed, leaving them in financial ruin, largely as a result of Monsanto’s genetically engineered seeds (especially Bt cotton); an Indian farmer commits suicide every 30 minutes, typically by ingesting his own pesticides
  • Bt cotton is much more expensive than traditional cotton seed, requires more water and pesticides, and has failed to produce the increased crop yields promised by Monsanto
  • India’s government has largely abandoned small farmers, discontinuing support programs and failing to address factors such as lack of rural credit and access to irrigation, among others, and new government programs have barely scratched the surface of this crisis
