The documentary film "Vanishing of the Bees" unveils the phenomenon called Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) and the real causes of bee death all over the U.S." The danger of accumulated pesticides in the environment and the lack of USA federal agency oversight in favor of manufacturers's studies without independent review is a major cause for concern. 90% of food we eat is treated with pesticides, over a billion pounds of these toxic chemicals are used annually on the huge agricultural western monocrop farms. Before releasing these highly toxic chemicals into our environment, a responsible nation would ensure that independent interdisciplinary studies are carried out to determine affects on both our ecosystems AND human health.

Although news about honeybee Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) has died down, commercial beekeepers have seen average population losses of about 30 percent each year since 2006. More than 70 crops they pollinate -- from almonds to apples to blueberries -- are in peril...http://organicconnectmag.com/wp/are-pesticides-pushing-honeybee-die-offs-past-the-tipping-point/#.UL1ZXYXZ03Z Delete the scoop?

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)

We have to wakeup to the manipulation of the mega food industry to entice us to eat what they want, not what we need for healthy bodies. It is time to reclaim our food sovereignty from the corporate moguls who have us by the tail to keep boosting their quarterly financial bottom lines at the expense of both human and environmental health. They are decimating our ecosystems with their monoculture and GMO agriculture. All the major industries of Big Food, BigPharma, BigAg and Biotech Food are collaborating to keep us dumbed down leading us down a path of deep ignorance poisoning ourselves and our planet. Only we, as individuals, can take charge of our health and well being. Think before you shop and eat. Let your congress know that you won't take this anymore and demand action to rein in the global biotech/industrial agricultural/food cartel. Stand up for Real Food. Stand up for the Right To Know what's in your food. Stand up for the environment and food animals that are being ravaged by the wholesale drive to produce more, bigger, faster that does not serve you but only the trillion dollar industries that gain from such destruction.
