WALMART IS TAKING OVER THE FOOD SYSTEM: Walmart has rapidly become the most powerful player in the food industry. Our food system now looks like an hourglass with a handful of big companie tanding between farmers and eaters. INFOGRAPH

 

One out of every four dollars Americans spend on groceries goes to Walmart, as we’ve reported before, and the retail behemoth is on track to seize more than a third of the market.

OUR CHEMICAL-LADEN WORLD: Are the Bees the Canary in the Coal Mine for Human Health and Well Being

IN THE winter of 2006 beekeepers in America noticed something odd—lots of their hives were dying for no obvious reason." And the pesticide/chemical industry is still in denial.

Evidence is growing that commonly used pesticides, even when employed carefully, are bad for bees (and us?)

(It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that as bees move from flower to flower they are gathering more and more of these toxic chemicals.  Their little immune systems can't handle it and this weakness makes them vulnerable to all sorts of viruses and illness. Beyond this, we humans eat the honey they work so hard to make.  Connecting the dots could it be that the same pesticides sprayed on the food we eat be a cause for the massive alzheimers epidemic also? pdjmoo)
