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.

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.
The rate of new gonorrhea cases rose 4 percent in 2012 from the year before, while syphilis jumped 11 percent, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said today in a report. 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”

Arizona – -(Ammoland.com)- The Chief Deputy of Forsyth County, North Carolina, came up with a smart move to save the taxpayers money: Trade two vintage 1928 Thompson submachine guns with drum magazines for eighty eight Bushmaster AR-15 type rifles, even up, about a $60,000 dollar value.
The Sheriff’s department was smart enough to register the guns in 1968, during the amnesty that was allowed for one month. Most people did not even know that the amnesty period existed. Thus, these two Thompsons are legal to be sold to private citizens, and are worth over $30,000 each. Continue reading “NC: 2 Thompsons Machine Guns To Be Traded; Hundreds Destroyed By FBI”
