The Free Range Meat Myth – Here’s Why It’s A Lie

Free range derived animal food and products refer to a system of farming where animals can roam freely outdoors as opposed to being confined in an small space for 24 hours a day. Free range usually applies to meat, eggs and/or dairy farming. This is one of the hardest things to write about, but staying silent doesn’t help. Sadly, this isn’t always the case. In fact, many “free-range” farms actually cram thousands of animals together in sheds or mud-filled lots. This is done to increase profits, and it’s a popular method used by many conventional factory farms. Many animals of “free-range” farms actually suffer through the same mutilations that occur on factory farms. These atrocities include debeaking, dehorning, castration without pain-killers and more. Here’s a […] Read More

Monsanto package admits seeds treated with ‘poison,’ advises against human consumption

(NaturalNews) Images are surfacing across the internet that illustrate the true dangers associated with genetically modified (GM) seeds, as admitted by the seeds’ manufacturers.

On the contrary, GM seeds are admittedly dangerous and not safe for human consumption, which means the widespread industry claim that they are substantially identical to natural seeds […] Read More

2013: Monsanto’s Bt-Toxins Found To Kill Human Embryo Cells

By Christina Sarich Natural Society   Many individuals have heard it a million times, but for the uninformed, or those just looking to fuel their 2014 fire to finally defeat Monsanto and their cronies, you’ll be interested to know that Monsanto’s Bt-toxin is far from ‘safe’ as the chemical company claimed it would be when filing their papers with the FDA. New research from Canada show that BT toxins are showing up in pregnant women, and low and behold – they are killing human embryo cells. 2014 is the year of the horse, but we’re not through beating this one to death. It’s called reproductive toxicology, and just like their suicide seeds, these Bt toxins are starting to kill our own unborn children. This is no exaggeration. Hopefully reading […] Read More

2013: Grow Your Own: 5 Easiest Vegetables To Grow Without Gardening Skills

2013: Beaver Butt Used As ‘Natural Flavoring’ In Your Food

By Joey Cardillo Natural News Yes, it’s true. Millions of people across the globe are eating “beaver butt” and don’t even know that they’re consuming such a substance. It’s called “castoreum,” and it’s emitted from the castor sacs within the animal’s anus. For a beaver, this slimy brown substance is used to mark its territory, but for us humans, it’s used as an additive that is often labeled as “natural flavoring” in the foods we eat – vanilla, strawberry and raspberry probably being the most common. Why is castoreum used? The most notable characteristic (after being processed) has to be the smell of castoreum. Instead of smelling horrible, like most people would expect from an anally produced secretion, it has a pleasant scent, which supposedly […] Read More
