USDA Forces Whole Foods To Accept Monsanto →
This is truly sad
tribander:
I’m not sure forces is the right word…but really this is beyond just whole Foods… sounds like organic food in general is in danger. No bueno people, no bueno.

word to the homie Ryan Daly...
randomandawkwardposts:
”Bacon is patient, bacon is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Bacon does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres and always tastes good. Bacon never fails.”

Sugar Should Be Regulated As Toxin, Researchers...
A spoonful of sugar might make the medicine go down. But it also makes blood pressure and cholesterol go up, along with your risk for liver failure, obesity, heart disease and diabetes.
