> ESSAY OF THE WEEK
> Changing the Meat Debate
> 
> For the first time since the advent of industrial agriculture, the federal government is considering advising Americans to eat ?less red and processed meat.?
> 
> That advice is the outcome of studies conducted by an independent panel of ?experts? which was asked by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for recommended changes to the U.S. Dietary Guidelines.
> 
> The February 19 ?eat less red and processed meat? pronouncement by the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC) was reported widely in mainstream media. It set off a heated debate about whether or not consumers should eat meat, a debate that included the standard name-calling by factory farm front groups, including the Farm Bureau, denouncing consumers and environmentalists (and their alleged pawns on the DGAC) for being ?anti-meat? and ?anti-farmer.?
> 
> Unfortunately in its recommendations, the DGAC didn?t really come out and tell us the whole truth. If it had, we would be having a different debate?the one we really ought to be having.
> 
> Read Ronnie?s essay
> 
> ACTION ALERT
> Waste Not
> 
> Organic agriculture has a dirty little secret.
> 
> Waste from factory farms, or Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) calls them, is being used and marketed as an ?organic? fertilizer.
> 
> That?s a problem, because factory farm waste is contaminated with hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, disease organisms, heavy metals and other undesirable substances, including some disease-causing agents, such as e.g.Salmonella and E. coli bacteria, that may survive the composting process.
> 
> Fortunately, the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) is discussing plans to address the problem. We need your help to convince the NOSB that factory farm waste should be banned from organics.
> 
> TAKE ACTION: Deadline April 7: Tell the National Organic Standards Board: Get factory farm waste out of organic!
> 
> ACTION ALERT
> Chicken Little vs. Chicken Big
> 
> Not all organic chickens and eggs are created equal.
> 
> The best organic farmers raise their meat chickens and egg-laying hens on pasture, in compliance with organic rules that require animals to spend time outdoors in the sunshine. Chickens raised outdoors on pasture eat a natural diet of insects and worms, grasses and other greens, sometimes supplemented with organic feed. This diet provides them with a sufficient source of methionine, critical to their health.
> 
> But the biggest organic producers don?t follow the rules. They confine their chickens indoors, just like the factory farms do, or provide outdoor access but with no access to pasture?both of which deprive the birds of a natural diet that would include methionine.
> 
> The big organic producers who supplement their birds? diets with synthetic methionine say they need the supplement in order to keep their birds healthy?a justification they wouldn?t need if they raised their birds on pasture, and/or supplemented with organic alternatives.
> 
> But the real reason the big organic poultry farms use synthetic methionine is because it acts as a growth-promoter. This allows the farms to squeak by with an ?organic? label when in fact their operations, and products, are far more similar to those of the non-organic factory farms.
> 
> TAKE ACTION: Deadline April 7: Tell the NOSB: Organic Chickens Need Pasture, Not Synthetic Growth-Promoters!
> 
> ACTION ALERT
> We Will Not Settle!
> 
> Now that the World Health Organization (WHO) has officially declared Monsanto?s Roundup a carcinogen, it?s more critical than ever to convince state and federal lawmakers that we need mandatory, not voluntary labeling of GMOs.
> 
> What we really need is to ban glyphosate. But until that happens, shouldn?t consumers have a right to know if the food they eat was grown with the help of a chemical known to cause cancer?
> 
> What we for sure don?t need is a government-run program to voluntarily certify non-GMO foods. But that?s exactly what Congress is considering, thanks to Rep. Mike Pompeo?s (R-Kan.) reintroduction of his Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act of 2015, (we call it the "Deny Americans the Right to Know (DARK) Act") last week.
> 
> Pompeo?s bill would also strip states of their century-old right to pass food labeling laws, including GMO labeling laws like the one passed in Vermont in 2014.
> 
> OCA will continue to focus on passing more state GMO labeling laws, in order to make it more difficult for Congress to take Pompeo?s bill seriously. This year, we are focusing heavily on New England states.
> 
> But we also encourage consumers to pressure their members of Congress to support a mandatory labeling bills introduced in the House, by Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) and in the Senate, by Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.). It?s critical that Congress hear from consumers that we will not settle for voluntary or non-GMO labeling guidelines. We want the right to know if our food has been genetically engineered and grown with a cancer-causing chemical.
> 
> TAKE ACTION: Tell Congress: Support the Boxer-DeFazio Bill for Mandatory Labeling of GMOs!
> 
> TAKE ACTION: Tell Your Representative: Don?t Support Big Food?s Bill to Kill GMO Labeling Laws!
> 
> SUPPORT THE OCA & OCF
> Thank You!
> 
> "Resistance? because if we fight we might lose but if we don?t we?ve already lost."
> 
> Every time we hit a fundraising goal we?re grateful. Thank you.
> 
> We?re also reminded that raising money is a means to an end, not an end in itself.
> 
> We would love to say that we?re reached the end. The end of corporations being allowed to poison our food and natural resources. The end of a political system that answers to corporate money, not individual citizens or the voice for the common good.
> 
> We would love to be celebrating the end of Monsanto?s reign of toxic terror.
> 
> We aren?t there yet. But thanks to the millions of you who are willing to keep the pressure on, the end is no longer a pipe dream. As more and more scientists and journalists step up to challenge a system that is as poisonous as it is unsustainable, the end is coming into view.

> VIDEO OF THE WEEK
> The (Biotech) Emperor Has No Clothes
> 
> The video of pro-GMO Patrick Moore claiming Monsanto?s glyphosate is ?safe to drink,? then walking out of an interview when asked to prove it, has been making the cyber-rounds. But perhaps no one has framed it better than Jeffrey Jaxen, a writer for Before It?s News.
> 
> Jaxen calls the Moore interview a ?Big Tobacco Moment,? comparing it to the publicly televised statement in 1994, by William Campbell, then-CEO of tobacco giant Phillip Morris, who told Congress, ?I believe nicotine is not addictive.?
> 
> Jaxen wrote: ?When paradigms shift, tyrants fall, or corporations lose their market it is often not from some spectacular event, but by a single, humanizing display.?
> 
> And then he offered this advice to readers:
> 
> There has never been a better time for citizen journalists and independent thinkers to press this debate. If nothing else, Patrick Moore?s bumbling shows the world that small stones can topple genetically modified giants and that the biotech emperor officially has no clothes.
> 
> Watch the video
> 
> NEW STUDY
> A Mouthful of GMOs
> 
> Are you feeding your baby GMO snacks, laced with toxic pesticides?
> 
> Yes, if you feed them Gerber Graduates Lil? Crunchies Veggie Dip Baked Whole Grain Corn Snack. That?s a mouthful to say?and as it turns out, it?s also a mouthful of pesticide-drenched GMO corn.
> 
> The folks at GMO Free USA sent a package of Gerber Lil? Crunchies to a certified lab to test for the presence of GMO material. Here?s what the group learned:
> 
> The quantitative PCR test verified, by DNA analysis, that 100% of the corn in the Lil? Crunchies Veggie Dip was GMO. All of the corn has been genetically engineered to be herbicide tolerant (Roundup Ready) and the corn contained DNA sequences known to be present in Bt insecticide-producing GMO corn.

Message-ID: <3536BDE8-C656-45C3-BA70-C8AAF869ACBD@mcn.org>




Dear President Obama, Senators, and Members of Congress:

Americans now owe $1.3 trillion in student debt. Eighty-six percent of that money is owed to the United States government. This is a crushing burden for more than 40 million Americans and their families.

I urge you to take immediate action to forgive all student debt, public and private.

 The O/M General meeting today will feature John Fremont trying to get support for the opposition of the proposed Waste Management plant on Hwy 20, a 5.7 Million dollar boondoggle, which would be located too close to our City water source, log acres of endangered and protected pygmy forest land, interfere with neighborhoods and compromise water aquifers, and be a drag on our tourist trade by its location on Hwy 20 and requiring semi-sized garbage trucks to transport waste on the winding road to Willits.
  I oppose this plan and want Ocean Protection Coalition to stand up for our environment by opposing this.   Ann

Message-ID: <DE4A7961-9E61-4152-8026-90D94F41B9FF@att.net>

Dear Fellow Occupiers,

Last Saturday, South Carolina Police Officer Michael Slager shot Walter Scott eight times ? killing him ? and then immediately began the cover up. Officer Slager moved evidence around and lied on the record about what actually happened.

Now there's a fundraising campaign for Michael Slager on Indiegogo, allowing him to profit in the aftermath of murder. It's OUTRAGEOUS!

Join me in demanding that Indiegogo removing this disturbing fundraising drive from their platform immediately:

Subject: [Occupymendocino] Will they let us go through the kitchen garbage
	at the Senior Center?
Message-ID: <F19E31AF-3A7C-4F18-A3D5-AD57A9BFACBF@att.net>

A Senate subcommittee on Primary Health and Aging, chaired by Sen. Bernie Sanders, held a hearing Tuesday on the ?human toll and budget consequences? of senior hunger. Here is an except:

Mary Jane Koren, a geriatrician and vice-president of the Commonwealth Fund, noted that seniors often suffer health problems and are put in nursing homes after falling down. Poor nutrition leads to decreased muscle strength, meaning a higher chance of falling?and weaker seniors are more likely to be gravely injured in such a fall. Koren noted that by 2020, the annual cost of medical care for seniors who fall is expected to reach $54.9 billion?many magnitudes more than the approximately $2 billion per year the federal government spends on nutrition assistance for senior citizens.
Sen. Paul, however, explicitly rejected this logic. ?It?s curious that only in Washington can you spend $2 billion and claim that you?re saving money,? he said. ?The idea or notion that spending money in Washington somehow is saving money really flies past most of the taxpayers.? Instead, Paul touted the ?nobility of private charity? as opposed to government-funded ?transfer programs.? He suggested privatizing Meals on Wheels and other government assistance for hungry seniors.

So, if the Senior Center doesn?t get enough ?private charity,? will they let us go through the kitchen garbage?

What Do We Really Know About Roundup Weed Killer?

It?s probably in your garage and on your lawn. And it?s used on nearly every acre of corn and soy. But what risks does it pose?

Subject: [Occupymendocino] Borowitz: Integrity Disqualifies Sanders for
	White House

> Integrity Disqualifies Sanders for White House
> 
>  <> <>WASHINGTON?The Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders?s potential bid for the 2016 Presidency was declared over, on Monday, before it even began, because of a key feature of the American political system that makes a person with integrity ineligible for the White House.
> 
> According to some experts, the electoral system has developed a number of safeguards over the past few decades to prevent someone with independence and backbone from occupying the Presidency.
> 
> ?Bernie Sanders?s failure to become a member of either major political party excludes him from the network of cronyism and backroom deals required under our system to be elected,? said Davis Logsdon, a political scientist at the University of Minnesota. ?Though that failure alone would disqualify Sanders, the fact that he is not beholden to a major corporate interest or investment bank would also make him ineligible.?
> 
> Because of his ineligibility, Logsdon said, the Vermont Senator would be unable to fund-raise the one billion dollars required under the current system to run for President. ?The best source of a billion dollars is billionaires, and Sanders has alienated them,? he said. ?Clearly he didn?t think this through.?
> 
> Logsdon said that Sanders might persist in his quest for the White House despite his ineligibility but that such an effort would be doomed to fail. ?Our political system has been refined over the years specifically to keep people like Bernie Sanders out of the White House,? he said. ?The system works.?
