Vegan. For the People. For the Planet. For the Animals.
People everywhere are making choices more connected with their values.
We are simplifying our lives, buying less and living more because we know that the Earth provides enough to satisfy everyone’s need, but not everyone’s greed.
But there is one connected choice that sometimes gets overlooked. It’s one of the most far-reaching personal, practical and ethical choices you can make.

YouTube – Go vegetarian / vegan. Save YOUR life, as well as the life of animals and of the planet
Speech by Lubomir Stoyanov on the health research that shows the advantages to a vegetarian or vegan diet.
“… Vegetarian and vegan diets are becoming more mainstream, and the number of vegetarians and vegans in the United States and in Europe is expected to increase over the next decade. There is also a growth in medical interest in veg nutrition; the number of articles in the scientific literature related to the veg topic has increased more than 7 times over the last 40 years.
In addition to looking forward to the lifelong enjoyment of the nutritious and natural vegan diet, the people also know that their choice will not only save the lives of animals, but also their own.
The American Dietetic Association, which is the world’s largest organization of food and nutrition professionals, stated that a healthy veg diet, appropriate for all ages, can ensure lower blood cholesterol levels, reduced blood pressure, lower rates of hypertension, and more.

Take Action with the Grassroots Netroots Alliance
After years of complaints from the OCA and our allies, the Department of Justice is investigating how big biotech and food corporations, including Monsanto, are monopolizing and controlling our seeds, food and farming–and they want to hear from YOU. The Obama Administration is specifically seeking comments and information about how corporate control of the food system affects average Americans. If you’re concerned that Monsanto and Big Food corporations have inordinate and dangerous power over where your food comes from and how it’s produced, tell the Justice Department! Your comments could help rein in Monsanto and other corporate criminals.

Criminalizing Organic Food !! WHAT!?
( less than 2 minutes )
If you are Canadian, don’t fool your self into thinking that this is just happening to the US. Remember Bill C51? Same corporate lobbyists, same corporations, same goal.
Click here for an interesting video about what Organic means.
From David Dartez’s Global Light Network Newsletter:
House and Senate Fast-Track Bills to Ban Organic Farming
This email was sent to us on Tuesday.
House and Senate bills to kill all organic farms (FAST track bills in 2 weeks)
Food Safety Modernization Act (HR 875): Criminalization of Organic Farms
Bills are:
House H.R. 875
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h111-875
Senate S 425
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s111-425
IF YOU LIKE AN ORGANIC GARDEN OR BUY ORGANIC FOOD YOU HAD BETTER GET
ON THAT PHONE TO YOUR CONGRESS REPs N-O-W!
There is an enormous rush to get this into law within the next two
weeks before people realize what is happening up on Capitol Hill.
The main backer and lobbyist is (guess who?) Monsanto!
(only one of the most criminal corporations out there)
Don’t know who Monsanto is?
www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsanto
Need more info??
www.organicconsumers.org/monlink.cfm
Just Google the company and the news swirling around them.
The few multi-million dollar companies in the farming industry would
like nothing better than to eliminate any opposition with the support
of the federal government.
The Bills will require organic farms to use specific fertilizers and
poisonous sprays. All farms and growers will be instructed and
regulated by the newly formed agency to ‘make sure there is no danger
to the general public and the appending food supply.’ The attempt is
to ’standardize’ the agricultural industry.
At first this may appear as if it is only directed at commercial farms
but don’t be fooled. This WILL include backyard gardens that grow food
for consumption by a single family and not intended for resale. Most
prior Bills that started off with such intent are later expanded in
their scope and become more restricted in nature.
If this passes then NO more heirloom clean seeds but only Monsanto
genetically-altered seeds that are now showing up with unexpected
diseases in humans.
The name on this evil food plan is the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009
(Really makes it sound like the feds are trying protect us!)
Criminalize Organic Farming?
Let me be crystal clear here. This has NOTHING to do with food safety.
This is only about TOTAL CONTROL by the federal government in our
lives.
Yep, It is True.

“Surviving, Thriving, and Sustaining”; Shahee of TribalGlobe interviewed by ZenBiz Radio
Shahee was recently a guest on ZenBiz Radio’s show “Surviving, Thriving, and Sustaining”!.
“If a lot of the things we depend upon break down, can you survive? One of our guests this week, who practices under the single name Shahee, says yes! Shahee is a raw food chef — and he notes that a raw, local diet is a good substitute for pharmaceuticals. His latest project is the building of a bus to be his mobile home and clinic, running fully on ecologically sound systems and with very simple technology cobbled together out of parts available from any junk pile.. Find out how to thrive if the trucks stop showing up with fuel for the pumps, groceries for the store, and if the power goes out and stays out. Our other guest Susan Davis, is passionate about and committed to Sustainable Design & Green Building. She is co owner of Spectrum Fine Homes, Inc and GreenPoint Coach. Susan takes a unique holistic approach to planning and building; addressing the spirit of the occupants, the building itself, and the health of the environment.” ZenBiz Radio

A SACRED DUTY: Applying Jewish Values To Help Heal The World
A Major Documentary on Current Environmental Threats and How Jewish Teachings Can Be Applied in Responding to These Threats
From: http://www.asacredduty.com/
Is your food choices contributing to global warming?
Our planet is imperiled as perhaps never before by global warming and other environmental threats. It is urgent that steps be taken immediately to avoid the unprecedented catastrophe toward which the world is rapidly heading.
Jewish Vegetarians of North America (JVNA) has produced a major documentary about how Jewish teachings can help address current environmental crises.
While this one-hour documentary — entitled A SACRED DUTY: Applying Jewish Values To Help Heal the World — is especially suitable for synagogues, temples, JCCs, Jewish schools and other Jewish institutions, its universal message also makes it appropriate for showings at Christian, other religions’ and secular institutions, and at film festivals. A SACRED DUTY speaks to people everywhere about the ethics of our relationship to our natural world and why it is imperative that we respond quickly to help shift our imperiled planet to a sustainable path.
