BACKLASH FROM FOOD INDUSTRY against Fed Up. "The loudest cry is coming from the Grocery Manufacturers Association, which has launched a website called Fed Up Facts that mimics the plate-and-menu graphics of the documentary's website." The GMA is also leading the fight to stop GMO labeling. https://lnkd.in/eFjt_Ku View in LinkedIn

THE CORRUPTED FOOD SUPPLY has been a theme in this blog for a long while, as a contributor to ovesity, hormonal disruption, antibiotic resistance, and a host of maladies. Sugar is not the only player. View in LinkedIn

MORE THAN SUGAR. "It is too bad that Fed Up ignored what many believe is a bigger reason for American obesity than sugar: Big Meat's use of growth enhancers like antibiotics, hormones, ractopamine and even arsenic. It certainly makes sense that chemicals and hormones that balloon livestock into huge carcasses with no increase in the amount of their feed would have the same effect on people who eat the meat." https://lnkd.in/eTjhfXc View in LinkedIn

US GOVERNMENT MAKING THINGS WORSE. "The national focus on diet, diet foods and exercise is not abating the obesity epidemic and actually making it worse ... The U.S. government plays both sides of the obesity street -- admonishing people to eat right while pushing the foods that make them fat -- because of the USDA's double mission of protecting the nation's health and protecting the health of the nation's farmers." (Bush days). https://lnkd.in/eTjhfXc View in LinkedIn

THE OBESITY NUMBERS. "One in three kids by midcentury in this country are going to have type 2 diabetes ... In 1980 zero kids had been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. It used to be considered adult-onset diabetes. And then by 2010 it was close to 57,000." https://lnkd.in/ePxGA7t View in LinkedIn

FED UP. "The documentary details how, since the U.S. government issued its first dietary guidelines 30 years ago, the rate of obesity has skyrocketed. Generations of kids will live shorter lives than their parents. It reveals that far more of the American public gets sick from what they eat than anyone realized." https://lnkd.in/ePxGA7t View in LinkedIn

THE DOCUMENTARY, "FED UP" (2014), "directed, written and produced by Stephanie Soechtig. The film focuses on the causes of obesity in the US, presenting evidence showing that the large quantities of sugar in processed foods are an overlooked root of the problem, and points to the monied lobbying power of "Big Sugar" in blocking attempts to enact effective policies to address the issue." https://lnkd.in/eVxh6UJ) View in LinkedIn

EZ APPLICATIONS. "Method and system for generating electrical energy from water" (G Pollack) and other patents. http://www.rexresearch.com/pollack/pollack.html View in LinkedIn

SET POINT. "The body tries desperately to maintain its fat mass. This is called the body fat setpoint and is regulated by the hypothalamus. If you don’t change your diet, only the amount of foods you eat, then your set point won’t change. If your weight goes below your set point, your brain responds by decreasing your calorie expenditure (calories out) and increasing your calorie intake (calories in)." https://lnkd.in/eS66aPi View in LinkedIn

LIGHTNING. "Charge separation within water itself may seem counterintuitive, but it is surprisingly common. In cloud water for example, evidence of charge separation lies in the consequent lightning discharges, 80% of which occur from cloud to cloud." https://lnkd.in/dGWWUFG View in LinkedIn
