Today we celebrate the founding of the World Health Organization. Without them we wouldn't know things like the decline in dental carries in this country which we're supposed to believe is because of water fluoridation, is exactly the same in countries that don't fluoridate. And we wouldn't know how many countries outside the U.S. have banned GMO foods and the use of Roundup. For some reason our media doesn't consider stories like that to be news worthy.

Had my first 'almond' product this morning at breakfast. Don't miss you chance to enjoy this nutritious nut!

Almonds! Always one of my favorite snacks, they've become an even bigger part of my diet with the advent of almond milk. Today is "Almond Day" and it's easy to participate with so many almond products available now.

I fully agree that we should know what we're eating. But I also think we should be MUCH more aware of why we're eating.
Does your body need the nutrition?
Is it a certain time of day?
Is finger food your stress reliever?
Did an 'expert' tell you it's good for you?
"What" is important, but be able to answer the other "W" words too.

Each of us should know what we are eating, how it was produced, what impact it has on our health.

The knowledge we need for growing food is knowledge of biodiversity and living seed, of living soil and the soil food web, of interaction between different species in the agroecosystem and of different seasons. Farmers have been the experts in these fields, as have ecological scientists who study the evolution of microorganisms, plants and animals, the ecological web and the soil food web.

This is fantastic news in a couple of ways. AND (formally the American Dietetics Assn.) was noted for following the corporately sponsored line when it came to giving any sort of endorsement but they never went against the stance of the AMA.

If you feel you have to drink milk (science says no) then at least drink raw milk. It's a shame we can't trust the gov't agencies responsible for our health to make our health their #1 priority.

If Monsanto is so sure that Roundup is absolutely safe, then there should be no problem getting their Board of Directors to submit to an injection of a trace amount of Roundup every day for 30 days to prove it to everyone.

If you've ever wondered why health professionals turn a blind eye to real dangers of programs like forced vaccination and water fluoridation, remember that most doctors are extremely smart, NOT extremely brave. Being brave has its consequences.

We need more articles like this published to get out the word. Many that think they are gluten intolerant (our thanks to Monsanto, et al. for promoting that) are in fact intolerant of Roundup.

I get so tired of 'one step forward and two steps back' when dealing with these gov't agencies. The way I read it, the problem is in their own in-house inefficiency and because of it, they want to scrap the labeling altogether. Wonder how long it will be before they let corporate agriculture skip all labeling but the price tag?

In this case, "Industry" means that Big Pharma funds the trials on their own products and passes along the ones that show favorable results. Many of these trials are done through medical schools, allowing the school to profit from the research money as long as the results they produce enable the 'industry' to continue to profit too. It's a big part of the budget of a lot of medical schools and as a result, the 'industry' has a big say in how and what the students are taught.

Industry-financed clinical trials on the rise, as number of NIH-funded trials falls: Researchers... Since 2006, the number of industry-sponsored clinical trials studying the benefits and harms of medical treatments has risen dramatically, while the number of clinical trials funded by the National Institutes of Health has fallen substantially, according to new American research.

What they don't say when comparing protein sources is the amount of veggies it takes to get a comparable amount of protein to 4 ounces of meat. And when they do, they make it look like a bad thing.

You set the distance - running challenge for the holiday season. Learn to be consistent before 1 Jan resolutions

#RWRunStreak The RW Run Streak is back! The run streak is designed to keep you running through the holiday season, and to bridge the gap between fall races and training for the spring. It can be difficult this time of the year to keep your running on track—but it's much easier if you have a goal and a plan. The goal is simple: Run at least one mile per day, every day, starting on Thanksgiving Day (Thursday, November 26) and ending on New Year's Day (Friday, January 1). That's 37 consecutive days of running. Here's the plan. It includes running a mile a day, of course, but also includes options to run longer and faster. These runs are just options. You don't have to run more than a mile each day to complete the streak. You can download the free plan here as a handy PDF. Post it on your fridge and mark off the days as you complete them. Or—new this year—you can get the plan in our new RW Go tracking app. The app and this plan are free, but you must download the app and the plan by 11:59 p.m. EST Monday, Nov. 23. After that, the plan will be available only as a PDF from runnersworld.com. Have questions about the streak? Check out the FAQ here. Share your progress and motivate other streakers by “liking” the streak on Facebook. You can also share updates on Twitter and Instagram using the hashtag . And since the whole world now should know you're a streaker, we created badges to add to your social media accounts and blogs. Download the badges and a Facebook cover photo here. If you finish the streak, you’ll have access to the coveted RW Run Streak finisher’s badge. Happy streaking!
