Kenny’s Sideshow

Those who heat their homes and businesses with lower cost fracked natural gas were hoping for yet another mild winter to save themselves some bucks. Well, so much for that. It’s negated now with the ‘polar vortex’ of cold sweeping the country. The economy of the poor takes another hit with every dollar spent on heat means a dollar that won’t be spent on something else, like food.

A HAARP attack? I don’t know about that but we’ll give the conspiracists some leeway. More mainstream conspiracists will continue to insist this is man-made climate change.    Continue reading “So Much For That”

As complementary and holistic healing modalities rise in popularity, consumers are becoming more vigilant about what they consume. This means that the $37 billion processed food industry is finally dealing with scrutiny from the FDA and concerned citizens regarding the ingredients and sourcing of many food items.

With this increase of awareness, Americans are realizing that not only are the types of foods consumed imperative in supporting or degenerating health, but the source is just important as well. And while measures have been adopted in other countries to ensure citizens are protected from toxic chemicals and low quality products, the United States is one of the only nations that has yet to increase it’s food standards.  Continue reading “10 Foods Available in the US that are Banned Elsewhere”

The Republican, a likely 2016 presidential candidate, denied personal knowledge of any plans to close the lanes and vowed that “people will be held responsible for their actions.”   Continue reading “Chris Christie: ‘People will be held responsible’”

Gonorrhea and syphilis are on the rise in the U.S., mostly in men who have sex with men, a trend the government said is linked to inadequate testing among people stymied by homophobia and limited access to health care.

Rates for chlamydia, the most common of the bacterial sexually transmitted diseases, gained less than 1 percent.   Continue reading “Gonorrhea, Syphilis Regain Traction in U.S., CDC Reports”
