[…]to predict the weather? Predicting Weather Using a Persimmon Seed Cut open a persimmon seed (it’s best to use ripe seeds). Look at the shape of the kernel inside. If the kernel is spoon-shaped, lots of heavy, wet snow will fall. Spoon = shovel! If it is fork-shaped, you can expect powdery, light snow and a mild winter. If the kernel is knife-shaped, expect to be “cut” by icy, cutting winds. If you do this, please let us know on Facebook what region of the country you are in and what your seed says! Oh and if you don’t know what to do with all your […]
Seed Bombers Can Plant 900,000 Trees A Day By reusing old airplanes and retrofitting them to drop seeds instead of land mines, Lockheed Martin and Aerial Reforestation Inc. have anticipated that we could plant a billion trees every year. “Seed bombing” has become quite popular in recent years, as re-forestation takes on a value unmeasurable to money. Aerial reforestation can be used in any area that used to contain trees, and even in some deserts, and removes the requirement for individuals to perform the slow seeding process by hand. The fastest growing trees in the world grow 3+ feet per […]
After its third attempt to purchase its largest seed and chemical rival, Syngenta, and build towards a global monopoly, Monsanto‘s CEO, Hugh Grant, has given up. Syngenta refused, stating that “after engaging with Monsanto on their latest approach, the board unanimously rejected their revised proposal. It significantly undervalued the company and was fraught with execution risk.” The risks they mentioned involved legal hurdles such as violating anti-trust laws in the creation of an illegal monopoly and Grant’s, desire to execute a tax inversion – a dubious, but legal, tactic where the company would move it’s headquarters to the UK and […]

Once back in the laboratory at Germany’s Alfred Wegener Institute in Bremerhaven, they were shocked to discover several more contaminating particles than they’d expected. Many of the particles were minuscule in size, and it was difficult to determine where they had originated. There were particles of plastic, as well as fragments of rubber tires, paint, varnish, and what appeared to be synthetic fibers. The lead scientist, Dr. Melanie Bergmann, told […]

The vegetable oils made this way include corn, safflower, sunflower, canola (also known as rapeseed), peanut, sesame and soybean oils. During the 20th century, the consumption of vegetable oils increased by 130% in the US. Due to the structure of the polyunsaturated fatty acids in these oils, they are very prone to damage by oxidation. In addition to being highly processed, these oils promote inflammation as a result of their very high omega-6 fatty acid content […]

[…]no deal on the table, Bayer has discussed how it could finance the purchase of the Missouri-based seed company. They could also just end up creating a new joint venture with Monsanto. Both of those ideas sound terrifying. Last year, Monsanto attempted to buy Syngenta. That sale would have given the combined company control of 40% of the U.S. pesticide market. But, Syngenta hesitated and later agreed to sell itself to the China National Chemical Corp., for $43 billion dollars.

[…]let’s take a closer look at this oil in general: What Is Canola Oil? The oil we get from grape seeds is obviously grape seed oil; the oil we get from corn is corn oil, so surely canola oil must come from canola seeds? Well, not quite, because there’s no such thing as a canola seed, at least not here on planet earth. Canola oil actually comes from rapeseed, and in the past it was simply known as rapeseed oil. At that stage, rapeseed oil was not used in the food industry. Instead, it was primarily used as a lubricant […]

The remarkable thing about these phytocompounds is that they are found in commonly consumed food ingredients. Curcumin is the primary polyphenol in the spice root turmeric, which is consumed the world over. Resveratrol is found in many common foods, including grapes, peanuts and chocolate. Lycopene is found in commonly consumed produce items such as watermelon, tomatoes and […]

[…]take measures to protect its current assets.” In Argentina, the farmers who use Monsanto seeds agree to allow the company to charge them for soybean genes up front or when they sell their crop to grain elevators and export terminals. However, that system is now being questioned; agricultural authorities under Argentina’s President Mauricio Macri, have been given new orders that may not let grain companies continue to test for Monsanto’s technology to determine royalty charges for farmers. Brett Begemann, Monsanto President and COO (not to be confused with Mosanto CEO Hugh Grant) said that the company is optimistic a solution can be found, “While the Government of […]

Concerning white flour and bread(s), when the wheat seed’s bran is removed, it’s six outer layers and the germ (which contains 76%) of the vitamins and minerals is lost. 97% of the dietary fiber is also removed, which is why constipation and cancer of the bowel are so prevalent in ‘developed’ nations. In addition, processing and bleaching white flour removes ALL of its vitamin E, 50% of its calcium, and 70% of itsphosphorous, iron, magnesium, and B vitamins. So what you’re paying for when you spend less on white bread and baked goods is… literally nothing. Except a hefty healthcare bill down the […]
[…]people would do best by reducing their Omega-6 consumption. The best way to do that is to avoid seed- and vegetable oils like soybean and corn oils, as well as the processed foods that contain them. Another class of fats, artificial trans fats, is also very harmful. Trans fats are made by exposing polyunsaturated vegetable oils to a chemical process that involves high heat, hydrogen gas and a metal catalyst. Studies show that trans fats lead to insulin resistance, inflammation, belly fat accumulation and drastically raise the risk of heart disease. So eat your saturated fats, monounsaturated fats and Omega-3s… […]
