solarhydrocan's JournalThanks for recommending Forks over Knives
I just downloaded it and I'm 1/2 hour into it and it is fantastic.
Everyone should be required to view it (as long as we're all into this mandatory thing- and corporate insurance is now everyone's business).
"Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food" --Hippocrates
It really is that simple. Health care starts when someone stuffs something into their mouths! A nation that ignores the simple truths in this documentary will never see lower insurance rates or better overall health. Can't begin to imagine why it's such an emotional issue for some. Really.
Thanks again!
Obama is an excellent salesman
If everything was reversed, and the R's passed a law that required everyone to buy corporate insurance without a public option and no single payer I doubt a single person here would support such a thing. Indeed, there would be marches on the Capital, and calls for non compliance.
When Baucus had single payer advocates arrested at a hearing there was no outcry from Democrats to speak of. It was shameful.
Baucus @2:40
And to top it off, those of us that were, like Obama, against a mandate until he "changed his mind" are now called Wingers or Racists for opposing a Right wing plan. It's beyond absurd.
The health insurance mandate in the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is an idea hatched in 1989 by Stuart M. Butler at Heritage in a publication titled "Assuring Affordable Health Care for All Americans".[21] This was also the model for Mitt Romney's health care plan in Massachusetts.

I won't be adjusting my beliefs based on the whims and "mind changes" of a politician, no matter how popular he/she is.
Does this fall under the US Patent on Cannabinoid use?
Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectantsUnited States Patent 6,630,507
Hampson , et al. October 7, 2003 <-----------NOTE DATE
Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Department of Health and Human Services (Washington, DC)
Abstract
Cannabinoids have been found to have antioxidant properties, unrelated to NMDA receptor antagonism. This new found property makes cannabinoids useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of wide variety of oxidation associated diseases, such as ischemic, age-related, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The cannabinoids are found to have particular application as neuroprotectants, for example in limiting neurological damage following ischemic insults, such as stroke and trauma, or in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and HIV dementia.

Yeah great, if you get to sell it with Patent Protection. like Kannalife
While closing dispensaries and arresting caregivers, the US Gov patented the use of the main ingredient in Pot.
And there's others:

Feinstein's $16.5 million view in Pacific Heights
Sunday, January 29, 2006
Sen. Dianne Feinstein and her mega-millionaire husband, Richard Blum, are pulling up stakes on their quiet Presidio Terrace home and moving uptown to a Pacific Heights mansion -- with views to die for.
The $16.5 million mansion -- which sits at the foot of Vallejo Street, between the Presidio and some of the city's most hoity-toity addresses -- offers a sweeping view of the bay.
It's right off what Herb Caen christened the "Gold Rush" -- the final two blocks of upper, upper Broadway, where the residents include Ann and Gordon Getty, Oracle founder Larry Ellison, and Mimi Haas -- as in the Levi Strauss Haases.
"And everyone is extending a warm welcome," said former Mayor Willie Brown, who hangs with the hill crowd. "They figure it will mean better homeland security." >more

The Rich get Richer and the Poor get ...TPPeed on !!!
Edit-add: Richard C Blum:
Blum's wife, Senator Dianne Feinstein, has received scrutiny due to her husband's government contracts and extensive business dealings with China and her past votes on trade issues with the country. Blum has denied any wrongdoing, however.[3] Critics have argued that business contracts with the US government awarded to a company (Perini) controlled by Blum may raise a potential conflict-of-interest issue with the voting and policy activities of his wife.[4] URS Corp, which Blum had a substantial stake in, bought EG&G, a leading provider of technical services and management to the U.S. military, from The Carlyle Group in 2002; EG&G subsequently won a $600m defense contract.[1]
In 2009 it was reported that Blum's wife Sen. Dianne Feinstein introduced legislation to provide $25 billion in taxpayer money to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp, a government agency that had recently awarded her husband's real estate firm, CB Richard Ellis, what the Washington Times called "a lucrative contract to sell foreclosed properties at compensation rates higher than the industry norms.

uh huh...
Russia Today is a hybrid Kremlin mouthpiece and loony conspiracy theory source.
The closest analog is Bush/Cheney era Fox News.

And yet there are people here who will declare it reveled truth.
More true than if God Came down from the heavens and told each of them personally, because Putin and Russia and Assad are the only honest brokers in a world dominated by the vile, evil, wicked Corporate States of America.

That's from ONE THREAD. The search showed many more but you get the idea.
While "conservatives" and "liberals" bash each other the 1% is stealing everything not nailed down, and they're coming with nail pullers.
Okinawa diet: Life expectancy among highest in world and primarily plant based
People from the Ryukyu Islands (of which Okinawa is the largest) have a life expectancy among the highest in the world,[2] although the male life expectancy rank among Japanese prefectures has plummeted in recent years.[3] (my add: due to adoption of western diet- less soy, more burgers)
The traditional diet of the islanders contains 30% green and yellow vegetables. Although the traditional Japanese diet usually includes large quantities of rice, the traditional Okinawa diet consists of smaller quantities of rice; instead the staple was the sweet potato. The Okinawan diet has only 25% of the sugar and 75% of the grains of the average Japanese dietary intake.[4]
The traditional diet also includes a relatively small amount of fish (less than half a serving per day) and more in the way of soy and other legumes (6% of total caloric intake). Pork was highly valued, and every part of the pig was eaten, including internal organs. However, pork was primarily eaten on holidays, and the daily diet was mainly plant based
In addition to their high life expectancy, islanders are noted for their low mortality from cardiovascular disease and certain types of cancers. Wilcox (2007) compared age-adjusted mortality of Okinawans versus Americans and found that, during 1995, an average Okinawan was 8 times less likely to die from coronary heart disease, 7 times less likely to die from prostate cancer, 6.5 times less likely to die from breast cancer, and 2.5 times less likely to die from colon cancer than an average American of the same age..

kr Meet PETA's sexiest vegetarian over 50- she's 74 now
Without PETA fewer people would know about people like Mimi Kirk
Ronald (6) Wilson (6) Reagan (6) retired to 666 St. Cloud Rd. Bel Air CA
of all the addresses in LA/Pacific Palisades/BelAir/Beverly Hills he chose that one.
Nancy was freaked out so she went to the city to change it to 668. Or maybe she sent her astrologer. In any case, LA changed it.
You can see the front on Google Earth.*(edit: you can see the driveway) And it sounds unbelievable but a quick search will prove this correct.
