This morning I woke up with a heavier than normal amount of makeup leftover from my Halloween Costume. (Gypsy/Fortune Teller)  I knew my future:  Since I don’t drink alcohol, I was up bright eyed and bushy tailed this morning!

I knew I had to get the “toxins” off my skin (it was probably too late for most of the damage) even though I use mostly organic and natural makeup.  Even the mineral makeup I use is VERY drying to my skin.  Think about it, you put baby powder on things when you want to absorb moisture so the mineral makeup is acting as the same “face sponge” sucking up all the nice oils and moisture your skin needs to look and feel youthful.

I have recently started using the method below

Everything You Have to Know About Dangerous Genetically Modified Foods

Jeffrey M. Smith, author of the Seeds of Deception and Genetic Roulette, lays out the shocking facts about genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Smith links GMO to food toxicity, allergies, infertility, infant mortality, immune dysfunction, stunted growth, and death. As Smith documents, whistleblowers have been fired, threatened and gagged, and warnings by FDA scientists have been ignored. Protect yourself from GMOs by joining the Campaign for Healthier Eating in America – a plan that gives the consumer the power to end the genetic engineering of our food supply.

Hungry in America

Growing numbers of people in the U.S. are going hungry each day. Not only are the ranks of the poor and hungry multiplying, but now even working class and middle class families and individuals are showing up at soup kitchens and food stamp offices.

"Hungry in America" is a feature-length documentary that reveals the depth of the food crisis and the courageous efforts of those fighting hunger on the front lines. The new film looks at the root causes of this growing problem, and asks the tough questions about how a rich nation that could feed all its people has failed to do so.

Organic News OF THE WEEK

Revolutionary Food Labeling Helps Swedes Cut Carbon

Last week, we reported on cutting-edge research by the Rodale Institute demonstrating that by transitioning all of the world’s farmland to organic, we could sequester 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions. As Rodale and more and more soil scientists are pointing out, if we could combine a mass transition to organic agriculture with restorative grazing and forestry, we could sequester 100% of global greenhouse gas emissions!

It’s great to know we have a time-tested, low-tech, grassroots organic solution for global warming and climate chaos, but the burning question is how do we launch and supercharge this food, farming, and forestry revolution in time to save the planet? The Swedes have come up with a simple but revolutionary idea to actively mobilize consumers to do the right thing and strike a blow against global warming and chemical/GMO/energy-intensive agriculture, processing, and distribution: new food labels on grocery store and restaurant items listing the specific carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas emissions embedded in each product.

Quote of the Week: Obama, Which Side Are You On?

“Organic agriculture can feed the world, turn back climate change and make food production more resilient to droughts and floods. Organic agriculture can do it with biodiversity instead of biotech, greenhouse gas sequestration instead of emissions, natural pest management instead of toxic pesticides, humus-rich compost instead of fossil fuel fertilizers and sewage sludge, more family farmers and better conditions for farm workers.”

“The question of which agriculture model will dominate food production is a question we only have one opportunity to answer. Once a seed or animal (more…)
