WILL LIQUIFIED DEAD PEOPLE BE USED IN OUR FOOD? -

Why? Why do we need to liquify the dead and why is legislation on the table to legalize this practice? Details are not forthcoming on the safety or the use of such fertilized liquid.

Wouldn't you test to see if it has prions (proteins) in it, vaccine remnants or other in organic things before passing such a bill?

Here is what we know so far about alkaline hydrolysis:

On Food Nation Radio Network, we uncovered some information from the EPA that is very disturbing. Canola Oil Was Never Intended To Be Eaten By People Listen to the history of Canola Oil. There is more background on our site about the health effects from consuming this machine lubricant.

The use of this oil began in wartime for an entirely different use. Several studies show some of the possible effects of consuming this oil as a food ingredient. People use this oil because it's supposed to be heart-healthy. There is definitely some irony at work here, because it may have the exact opposite effect. You can judge for yourself from the audio below.

A leading petrol site says, "The commercial oil is refined by using hexane, acid and water precipitation. It is deodorized with the help of steam distillation and bleached with the help of clay. Only about 43 percent of the seed is oil and rest is the rapeseed used in animal feeds. It is estimated that 23 kilograms of rapeseed makes around 10 liters of Canola Oil."

In our opinion, there is no such thing as organic canola oil under the USDA definition and it should not be labeled as such. Lots of substances are "organic", but would never receive a USDA organic label. Think about it. Canola Oil Was Never Intended To Be Eaten :

Are you thinking cane sugar is healthier than table sugar! See what you think after hearing this bombshell info on the sugarcane industry. In addition, we've had questions about sugarcane previously. Lastly we were the first to break the news to the public that nearly ALL sugarcane was sprayed with glyphosate to hasten ripening. You can hear that information HERE. As far as Non Gmo Project is concerned, we've had issues with their verification process previously and you can here that information HERE. Isn't the whole point of transparency and labeling to inform the consumer? You decide if it's good enough after hearing this:

From the Food Nation Radio Interview Archives:  Elizabeth Dougherty spoke with Michael Potter, CEO of Eden Foods about the USDA Organic Label and why Eden Foods does not use the government label on their organic products.

According to their website, "Though all EDEN organic food is grown, handled, processed, and certified in a way that meets and exceeds the requirements for using the 'USDA Organic' seal, Eden Foods chooses not to use this seal on its product labels or marketing materials."

Why? "The short answer is, this seal does not approach Eden's high standards for organic, in practice or in spirit."

You can hear the audio interview with Michael Potter here.

Eden Foods began in Ann Arbor, Michigan in the 1960s. They buy all of their food ingredients from farms and compensate them directly. Their products can be found in stores across the country. More information can be found here.

Over the past two years, all the digital channels that have popped up on your television have created a huge demand for fresh, original content.

It’s apparent on public television, and Create TV is a perfect example of rich programming with a broad appeal.

One of the rising stars of that channel is a first-generation Lebanese-American chef named Julie Sageer who was given the name “Julie Taboulie” as a child and the name stuck.

Ms. Taboulie joined us on Food Nation Radio to talk about her show and the differences between Lebanese cuisine and other foods from the Middle East.

Recently we spoke to Chef Nick Stellino.

A regular on PBS and Create TV, this Sicilian-born immigrant walked away from a successful career on Wall Street to follow his passion of cooking.

He shares his thoughts on writing, cooking and he works to make sure that the recipes shown on his TV programs are easily accomplished at home with the same results.

He also confronts the issue of modesty, and confesses "I am what I am."

A former Monsanto employee, Kirk Azevedo, came forward for an interview with Food and Travel Nation  to give our listeners insight into how Monsanto does business. During the time he was employed there with some of the best minds in the biotech industry, he became alarmed by some of the practices Monsanto used to test new GMO crops, how those crops were disposed of after testing, and more.

Dr. Azevedo left the industry and is now a chiropractor in California, but as you'll hear in this exclusive audio broadcast on Food Nation, he has grave concerns about Monsanto, their ongoing actions and their influence on government leaders.

We warned you in 2013 about GMO rDNA salmon audio interview.

UPDATE
We warned you in 2013 about GMO rDNA salmon. Audio interview. The FDA has now approved gmo/bioengineered salmon for sale in the United States. Aquabounty and related entities were sued by non-profit organizations to stop the sale of the unusual salmon. After corrections were made to address environmental concerns, such as 1) gmo salmon "will not" commingle with wild salmon and 2) the females are given three chromosomes (?) so they will be sterile after they are somehow grown from gmo eggs in Prince Edward Island. They are raised in a fish farm in Indiana until ready for harvest.
None of this addresses the effect on humans from consuming altered DNA fish developed in a lab. The fish contain anti-freeze genes from the Ocean Pout as well as a growth hormone from the Chinook as outlined in the interview below. They contain three chromosomes through gynogenesis, where females are desexualized and male DNA is silenced. This is done through shock treatment at the PEI facility. This method protects the technology from being used by others (trade secret) and prevents the fish from randomly breeding with other wild fish, although these are basically unisex fish that are changed on an evolutionary level.
The effects of this alteration of alleles to a unisex new salmon on humans when the fish is consumed is unknown. This salmon is altered such that the FDA said it should be in "FDA’s Electronic Animal Drug Registration and Listing System", as a food drug. Aquabounty is supposed to police itself and report any adverse genetic changes and any changes in mortality or morbidity.
There is no third party requirement for testing. In fact, there doesn't seem to be any testing on humans who consume the salmon during the entire 30 year period Aquabounty has sought approval. (There is a blog link from Aquabounty that claims ALL gmos are allergy tested, but no data is provided on this specific fish.) The rDNA to make all of these changes is the same recombinant DNA technology used in Brazilian cane sugar and the Covid-19 vaccines and roughly 80 other foods. These foods are either on the market or will shortly be released in ADVANCE of the pushed back bioengineered label requirement, now slated for 2022. Currently, a food you are consuming could be bioengineered and you would not know it.

That's why we are covering one bioengineered food each week.

From the Food Nation Radio Interview Archives: Elizabeth Dougherty spoke with Jaydee Hanson, the Senior Policy Analyst for The Center for Food Safety about the proposal in front of the FDA that would allow genetically modified salmon to be produced and sold in the United States.  As you'll hear, the public spoke out against the proposal en masse, but barring a major reversal in government policy, look for this salmon to be on the market shortly.  While there is pending legislation that would require specific labeling of this particular salmon, unless it is labeled appropriately, you won't even know you're eating it. Now you know why we warned you in 2013 about GMO rDNA salmon.
