...possibly mad...in both senses of the word!
lethargic
Commercial US Swine Infected by Swine Flu..and a Kitty! Fortunately the only thing I like from poor pigs is bacon anymore, tho I wouldn't be surprised if cheap turkey dogs contain some pig.
Sewage Sludge Effects On the Environment Important because apparently its being marketed to farmers as equivalent to compost.
Health Ills Abound as Farm Runoff Contaminates Wells and Other Water Sources, and Laws are Not Enforced
On other, slightly less yucky topics (except for one):
A discussion on whether biotech foods can actually cure world hunger. I agree with Raj Patel that the real problem is poverty. You guys know I'm into organic, but speaking just logically, so what if biotech foods increase production if the actual hungry people aren't either given it or can afford it? Growing organic and heirloom is more economical in that your fertilizer, dirt, and seeds are FREE.
Autism Spikes, Toxins Suspected
And last but not least, the other yucky. Three of my favorite ice cream brands still use rBGH milk...and if you read about its effects on cows and the milk they produce - ewwwww! So I added my voice to the campaign, and likely will join the boycott because looking at it will make me think of the ick. Tell the rBGH Profiteers Why You Buy Organic
On personal notes, Madeline has a cold, and I'm finally feeling better after the two day migraine I had over the weekend and subsequent tiredness. I bottled up a little bit of echinacea tea for Madeline, and put several drops in her food. She doesn't mind it at all, and it will help her immune system. Yep, its a holistic remedy recommended for kitties, along with adding some probiotics to her food, too.
