U.S. School District to Begin Microchipping Students
(NaturalNews) A Rhode Island school district has announced a pilot program to monitor student movements by means of radio frequency identification (RFID) chips implanted in their schoolbags. The Middletown School District, in partnership with MAP Information Technology Corp., has launched a pilot program to implant RFID chips into the schoolbags of 80 children at the Aquidneck School. Each chip would be programmed with a student identification number, and would be read by an external device installed in one of two school buses. The buses would also be fitted with global positioning system (GPS) devices. Parents or school officials could log onto a school web site to see whether and when specific children had entered or exited which bus, and to look up the bus's current location as provided by the GPS device. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has criticized the plan as an invasion of children's privacy and a potential risk to their safety. Brown disputed this argument.
The 6 Most Horrifying Lies The Food Industry is Feeding You
#3. Fake Berries Imagine a blueberry muffin. GettyOne muffin, you greedy bastards. Even with your freshly gained knowledge that there may or may not be some cellulose in the cake mix, it's pretty impossible not to start salivating at the thought. GettyWe could taste delicious if we wanted to. Everything is better with blueberries -- that's why they put them in so many foods. The Horror: ... not that it would do any good, as the number of blueberries you've eaten within the last year that have actually come from such a field is likely pretty close to zero. GettyWe can almost hear the muffins mocking us. Studies of products that supposedly contain blueberries indicate that many of them didn't originate in nature. They do a damn good job of faking it, too -- you need a chemist's set of your own to be able to call bullshit. Natural News TVNothing says "nature" like petrochemical-derived food coloring.

Rick Warren, Tony Blair & The New World Order « . . . and the world hears them
Roger Oakland, of Understand the Times International, attended Rick Warren’s ‘Peace in a Globalized Society’ forum, featuring Tony Blair, that was held Monday night. As an eyewitness account, Oakland gives the following report: On March 7, 2011, Roger Oakland, founder ofUnderstand the Times, International, and two other members from his ministry attended the Peace in a Globalized Society forum at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California, which featured Rick Warren and special guest, former UK prime minister Tony Blair. Roger Oakland and his co-workers obtained eye-witness seats at the event that included well over 2000 people in attendance. Although cameras and recorders were not allowed in the main sanctuary where the interview took place, the UTT team took notes. What Oakland and his team heard caused them much concern – thus the reason for this special report. Both Blair and Warren have a vision to see churches with like-minded vision planted all over the world. Notes: 1.

The US Bureau of Labor Statistic's Consumer Expenditure Survey reported 121 million "consumer units" in 2010. They had an average of 2.5 persons, 1.3 earners and 1.9 vehicles; 66 percent were homeowners, and the average age of the reference person was 49. Average consumer unit income before taxes was $62,500 and average annual expenditures $48,100 (www.bls.gov/cex). These expenditures included $6,100 for food (almost 13 percent of expenditures). Food spending was split 59-41 percent, including $3,600 for food eaten at home ($69 a week) and $2,500 for food bought away from home ($48 a week). To put food spending in perspective, other significant expenditures were $16,600 for housing; $7,700 for transportation; $3,200 for health care; $1,700 for apparel; and $2,500 for entertainment. The largest food-at-home expenditures were for meat and poultry, an average $785 or $15 a week. Farmers get a small share of the retail food dollar, an average 19 percent in 2006.

Peak Oil and Soil (Eric Andrews, August 1, 2007) We’re discussing the value of soil especially in the context of Peak Oil, the devil is in the details. There are two parts to this: First is that readers may not realize the gravity of the situation concerning food and Peak Oil. There is a wing of the Peak Oil argument that statistically demonstrates how food presently can be said to be a form of oil. In fact, there is less than a week’s supply of food in the entire food chain, while consumers—in contrast to America before 1960--hold less than a week’s worth of food at home. The “Green Revolution”, which ended the famines of the 70’s, could arguably be said to be a result of eating oil. This is the true and verifiable situation, easily discovered with an afternoon’s research at www.theoildrum.com or www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net. As a gardener from old-time farming country, however, I can provide another perspective. But suppose this part cannot be helped. Who loses in all this?

Michael Pollan on "Food Rules: An Eater's Manual"
This is a rush transcript. Copy may not be in its final form. MICHAEL POLLAN: The way we eat has changed more in the last fifty years than in the previous 10,000. The modern supermarket has, on average, 47,000 products. ERIC SCHLOSSER: We’ve never had food companies this powerful in our history. UNIDENTIFIED MAN 1: Everything we’ve done in modern agriculture is to grow it faster, fatter, bigger, cheaper. UNIDENTIFIED MAN 2: If you can grow a chicken in forty-nine days, why would you want one you’ve got to grow in three months? MICHAEL POLLAN: When you go through the supermarket, there is an illusion of diversity. UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: Sometimes you look at a vegetable and say, “OK, well, we can get two hamburgers for the same price.” MICHAEL POLLAN: They have managed to make it against the law to criticize their products. ERIC SCHLOSSER: I find it incredible that the FDA wants to allow the sale of meat from cloned animals without any labeling. UNIDENTIFIED MAN 2: Smells like money to me!
