Foods to Avoid by New Moms

When a new mother is breastfeeding, she has to remember that whatever she is eating will be passed on to her baby through the milk she is feeding her baby. Though there are no off-limit foods, there are certain foods that babies cannot tolerate usually. This is because babies have a weak digestive system and any imbalance in the food would cause havoc in the baby’s stomach. This would create gastric issues and stomach pain, which would make the baby suffer too much. If you are a new mom, then make sure you avoid these foods to avoid any kind of discomfort to the baby.

2013: Billionaire Koch Brothers Spending Millions To Deny Health Coverage To Low-Income Americans

These billionaire industrialists are pressuring states to deny health coverage to the people who need it most. Conservative advocates funded by the billionaire industrialist brothers Charles and David Koch have launched a massive campaign pressuring states to deny health care coverage to lower income Americans through the Medicaid expansion contained in the Affordable Care Act. The effort, orchestrated by the group Americans for Prosperity, is targeting lawmakers in Virginia tasked with deciding whether the state should accept federal dollars to provide insurance to individuals and families below 133 percent of the federal poverty line ($31,321 in income for a family of four). Volunteers with the organization are distributing flyers through door-to-door canvassing, attending committee hearings, and according to one lawmakers who has become a target of the campaign, intimidating […] Read More

2013: I Would Be Dead Without Health Insurance — GOPers Trying to Kill Obamacare Are Also Killing People

The right’s crusade against health insurance is more than just evil and cruel, it’s evil, cruel and incredibly stupid. Huh. That looks weird. Has that always looked like that? I don’t spend a lot of time looking at the back of my calves. I’m sure you don’t spend a lot looking at yours. Kind of like the dark side of the moon, they’re on the dark side of your body. And they’re not interesting enough to make a special effort. What do the backs of our calves do all day long? Who knows, they could be plotting to overthrow the government and we’d never notice. But for some reason a few months ago I did look at the back of my right calf. And I […] Read More

2013: Despite Resistance, Uruguay Near Passing Landmark Marijuana Laws

Natural Society Here in the U.S., we hold up Colorado and Washington as being models of future marijuana policy. Where they legalizes recreational marijuana, creating regulated and taxed systems, the majority of states are still trying to determine how to implement medicinal pot. In Uruguay, however, lawmakers have taken one big step towards creating a nationwide regulated marijuana industry, and they’ve done it despite the resistance of the people. In Uruguay last month, members of the lower house of parliament passed a bill that could create the world’s first such nationwide regulated marijuana market, on a vote of 50-46. Next the bill will head to upper house later this year where it is expected to pass if the current momentum sustains. The bill will create a system where residents can […] Read More

Who Masterminded U.S. Pot Prohibition?

Harry Anslinger testified that marijuana induces homicidal mania, but he was just one witness in a strange show trial. Harry Anslinger, the longtime Commissioner of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, is widely considered the prime mover behind marijuana prohibition. But during the Congressional debate on prohibition in the spring of 1937, Anslinger was just one witness in a strange show trial.  He testified that marijuana induces homicidal mania and so forth, but it was not Anslinger who designed the complicated prohibitive-tax strategy. That maneuver was thought up by the Treasury Department’s top lawyer, Herman Oliphant. Nor was Anslinger called back to refute Dr. William Woodward of the American Medical Association, who made many telling points in opposition to the prohibitive-tax bill. It was Congressman Fred Vinson of […] Read More

2013: Meet the Opposite of Monsanto — These Are the Folks That Really Feed the World

Meet the people fighting resource grabs, cultivating traditional crops, and defending their communities from exploitation by multinationals. When it comes to ‘feeding the world,’ agribusiness keeps selling the same old “solutions” that are actually undermining people’s access to healthful and sustainable food: massive industrialized farming operations, biotech (GMO) crops, pesticide-intensive mono-cropping, and so-called “free trade” agreements. They insist we just need to produce more food (with their seeds and petrochemicals) for the nearly one billion people who go hungry each year—yet landfills overflow with food waste in countries where agribusinesses have gained control of seeds, livestock, markets, and prices. In spring 2013, Monsanto grabbed headlines when its genetically modified wheat, MON71800—not approved for production or consumption—was found growing in a farmer’s field.  Yet in June, Monsanto and […] Read More

2004: Diet’ Soft Drinks – Suicide On An Installment Plan

Crumpled Coke Can Poetic Justice 12-14-4 The photo of a crumpled can of Diet Coke told the story in the Atlanta Journal Constitution, 30-1-2000, Coke’s hometown paper. Fitting, poetic, just, but tragic for the company once rated “The Most Admired Business in the World”. Today Coke wouldn’t even make the list. Sales are down, profits collapsing, and 6,000 employees soon will be gone. (To make room for 6,000 defence attorneys?) The tragedy is stupendously larger than 6,000 jobs; it affects hundreds of millions of unwarned, innocent, afflicted consumers across the broad face of planet earth. * This crisis can’t be solved by belt tightening, greater efficiency, more advertising, etc. It’s so bad Coke can’t say the word; to pronounce it will bring instant cataclysm. That […] Read More
