FOOD INC
In Food, Inc., filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on our nation's food industry, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly that has been hidden from the American consumer with the consent of our government's regulatory agencies, USDA and FDA. Our nation's food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment. We have bigger-breasted chickens, the perfect pork chop, herbicide-resistant soybean seeds, even tomatoes that won't go bad, but we also have new strains of E. coli—the harmful bacteria that causes illness for an estimated 73,000 Americans annually. We are riddled with widespread obesity, particularly among children, and an epidemic level of diabetes among adults.
Featuring interviews with such experts as Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation), Michael Pollan (The Omnivore's Dilemma, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto) along with forward thinking social entrepreneurs like Stonyfield's Gary Hirshberg and Polyface Farms' Joel Salatin, Food, Inc. reveals surprising—and often shocking truths—about what we eat, how it's produced, who we have become as a nation and where we are going from here.

Republic Magazine 13
Republic Magazine 13
A republic is only as healthy as its people. When the people are weak, they become susceptible to foreign attack or domestic subversion. Over the past 100 years, methods to increase the shelf life of the American food supply to feed a massively growing population, while beefing up the profits of giant food corporations have caused the introduction of preservatives, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, hormones and even genetic engineering to alter and infect our diet. When these tainted foods become the staple of our everyday diet, side effects of exposure cause us to turn to pharmaceutical companies and modern medicine. In the past few years, a growing trend has raised the awareness for the dangerous practices of the last 100 years and the American people are firmly deciding that they want no part of this corrupt diet and medical cycle. In the battle for The Republic, we must remain sharp and our senses acute to quickly react to the daily assaults from corporate propaganda, media manipulation and our legislator’s unconstitutional bills. We must take back our minds, our bodies, and our souls from those who would lead us into the pen at the sound of the slaughterhouse bell. In this issue, we examine the core concerns that affect each of us physically and mentally. Healing The Republic begins with healing the people. And it starts right here in our 13th issue of Republic Magazine.

(NaturalNews) A Japanese Research team is working on genetically engineering mosquitoes to deliver vaccines. These are the flying vaccines of the future. Far fetched? Bill Gates doesn't think so. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in 2008 allotted a $100,000 grant to this research team for just that project. This is from the Association of Fund Raising Professionals, Washington Chapter website.
GMO's Enable Trojan Horse Vaccinations

Edible vaccines, as GMO foods, are in the future as well. Meat and Poultry, a business journal for meat and poultry processors, reports in a May 5, 2009 article , by Bryan Salvage, that researchers at Iowa State University are working on creating a method to install vaccines into corn crops.
