Grocery stores may still be stocked with food and most Americans are still able to keep their family’s fed, but with 50 million Americans requiring government assistanceto do so and prices on a seemingly never ending rise, how long will it be before the situation becomes unmanageable?

Even though the mainstream media seems to have lost some interest in the drought, we should keep it front and center in our minds, as it has already led to sharply higher grain prices, increased gasoline costs (via the pass-through [...] (PreventDisease) – If you love cooking your meat on a pan, beware. Meats fried at higher temperatures, especially in pans and on gas stoves, increases the risk of advanced forms of cancer by as much as 40 percent suggests new research. The most surprising outcome of the study is that less than 2 servings per week will increase cancer risk. “We found that men who ate more than 1.5 servings of [...] From LewRockwell.com: Xenobiotics and Xenoestrogens are chemicals in our environment and in our food supply that have a hormone-like activity. There is mounting evidence that exposure to these chemicals may be a significant cause of breast cancer, the decline in male sperm production, testicular cancer, prostate cancer, and other serious health conditions. Nearly all xenobiotics are derived from a petroleum source. They are found in literally thousands of products that we use [...] 9:44 a.m. | Updated FORT MYERS, Fla. – The mass shooting at a Colorado movie theater presented a challenge to both President Obama andMitt Romney, the presumptive Republican nominee, on Friday: Is it O.K. to continue campaigning in the midst of a national tragedy, and if so, how does that change the message? Mr. Obama chose to cut short his campaign trip here and return to Washington after addressing the tragedy before the audience that came here initially expecting [...] As the The Drudge Report-drives speculation that Condoleezza Rice is now a contender in the Republican veepstakes, surrogates and supporters in Mitt Romney’s orbit say Rice electrified Romney’s circle with a speech she delivered last month at the candidate’s closed-door fundraising retreat in Park City. Rice’s forceful, and surprisingly partisan 13-minute address — audio of which has been obtained by BuzzFeed — won her two standing ovations from the gathering of big-money donors and [...] Brian Fung Eating foods that are high in saturated fat — red meat, butter, and other animal products — clog your arteries and increase your risk for heart disease and stroke. Until now, that’s all we thought they did. Now it seems that saturated fats may also be linked to how efficiently our brains work. In a paper published today in Annals of Neurology, a team of scientists analyzed [...] This is commentary from political blogger and cartoonist Rob Tornoe. Over the weekend, Gov. Chris Christie once again force-fed a conservative crowd a healthy dose of red meat, saying President Obama was “posing and preening” instead of working to resolve the pressing issues facing the country. It struck me as odd he would use that particular attack line, considering Christie has traveled across the country to put himself in the spotlight as [...] The onward march of the Chinese consumer continues, with China overtaking the U.S. as the biggest grocery market in the world in 2011, according to new research out of the United Kingdom. The Chinese grocery sector was worth $970 billion (607 billion pounds) at the end of 2011, while the U.S. market came in at $913.5 billion (572 billion pounds), research by food industry analysts IGD showed. The figures come at a [...] ABC News’ Jon Garcia and Devin Dwyer report: PHILADEPHIA – President Obama served up some political red meat to campaign contributors in Philly tonight, bashing his Republican challengers while picking up more than a million dollars for his campaign and the Democratic party. “This campaign is at its early stages, I’ve got a day job, I’ve got other things to do,” Obama told about 800 supporters at a downtown hotel ballroom. “But [...] (CNN) — Was Barack Obama really born in America?

While the president has made light of the controversy, the question remains political red meat for some of his critics. A recent CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll showed that nearly [...] Donald Trump has what every presidential wannabe craves: very deep pockets, universal name recognition and a ready-made campaign slogan. Imagine Trump telling President Obama, “You’re Fired!” In recent weeks the brash businessman has made all the moves of someone mulling a White House run, from granting interviews to the political press to giving a red-meat speech in Washington. On Monday, Trump even dispatched an aide to [...] by FTD Ron Paul should not run for president. Â He simply can’t win.

We’ll all be ‘poor’ in the future….
Once in a while I’ll send Dave Cohen(of his blog DOTE) a story that catches my eye and he’ll turn an entire post out of it. He’s a really good person, despite appearing short-tempered and gruff with some of the commenters on his site. That CBS article referenced in his post today caught my eye a few days ago and I messaged it to him on google chat. What got [...]
