This site dedicated to the matters of food above and beyond the mere satiation of flavors on one's palette; but rather the ramifications to society from the consequences of how its' production, distribution, and nutrition affect living systems. How we sow, reap, harvest, legislate and base our economic systems on food is key to how we ultimately treat each other and the Earth.

2. Fox News Reporters Take Fox News to Conservative Stacked US Supreme Court

The result was that even though Fox News improperly fired two reporters for trying to report to the American public how their food is being engineered and how those food companies hire lobbyists to prevent labeling that already occurs in 33 countries. A few days ago of writing this post, organic farmers in Arkansas, per Mon Dragon at Fair Food Fight, won a law suit against Bayer Corporation. Bayer’s genetically engineered crops contaminated the organic crops, rendering them un saleable to the European Union, whose citizens fought off the genetic engineering of crops long ago. See the link below for an account from the two reporters of Fox. By the way, the Supreme Court ruled that FOX NEWS had the right to lie

4. Media Matters http://mediamatters.org/ was founded by David Brock who was asked by ‘the mass media’ to essentially destroy Hillary Clinton’s image in the media. He began doing the actual research, decided that the orders given to him were unethical. This disturbed him so much that he gave up his high paying job and began Media Matters. Media Matters is the bane of Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly.

Verify the media you are listening to and or watching. Discover alternative sources of media. Become more critical about the information from the TV set we used to be able to trust…before watching the news and political commentary became profitable.
