There is currently a huge disparity between opinions on the result of the election. No matter how you voted, we invite you to look forward to the future. Moms Across America has been focused on creating healthy communities for 12 years. For those of you who are disappointed with our enthusiasm about the path before us, consider that ignoring a Presidential campaign’s commitment to Make America Healthy Again would be a violation of our integrity, no matter what political party was speaking the words. Poison is not partisan, Cancer is not choosy. No matter what political party you are in we hope you can, as many of us have, set aside your angst, distrust, and fear about Trump and see the opportunity before us.

The opportunity is immense. When confirmed, we will finally have a head of Health and Human Services, the most important role in the new administration besides the President, committed to creating a healthy country and a new future. This week, Robert F. Kennedy’s appointment has put us over the beautiful supermoon! If Kennedy can do what he has promised to do - and we know him, as our advisor for years, to be a man of his word - then many of us will no longer need to go to doctors because we won’t be sick, whether we can afford organic or not. We won’t be eating poisoned foods and be forced to get harmful injections or take contaminated medications, and the stronghold of Big Pharma and Big Ag on our lives will disappear. We will, when not exposed to toxins, feel better, sleep better, perform better at school, work, and dare I say, even in bed (endocrine-disrupting chemicals contribute to ED, gentlemen), and we will be able to live up to our fullest potentials in our long lives.

Friends of the Earth analysis shows cancer-linked glyphosate remains and is joined by new, more dangerous chemicals on 50th anniversary of Roundup.

WASHINGTON — On the fiftieth anniversary of the controversial weedkiller’s release, a Friends of the Earth analysis – New Roundup, New Risks – finds that residential Roundup products are more toxic to consumers and the environment than ever before. Not only has manufacturer Bayer [OTCMKTS: BAYRY] failed to remove glyphosate from all Roundup products, as promised, but new formulations of Roundup are 45 times more toxic to human health, on average, following long-term, chronic exposure. They also pose greater risks to the environment.

Testing commissioned by Spotlight on America and conducted by the Health Research Institute (HRI), an accredited independent lab in Iowa, detected 38 different pesticides in just one elementary school lunch.

WASHINGTON (7News) — Kids rely on school meals every day, but almost nothing is known about what's really in school lunches, including invisible ingredients that could harm developing bodies and brains. In a months-long investigation, we tested school lunches and found concerning results, just like the ones that are currently gaining the attention of Congress.

In America’s schools, 30 million lunches are served every day. There are standards in place for things like calories, sodium, and added sugar. The USDA asserts that lunches consumed from schools are the most nutritious.

New rat feeding study is further proof that GM soy isn’t substantially equivalent to non-GM soy. Report: Claire Robinson

A diet containing GM soybean oil damaged the liver and kidney of rats in a new 90-day feeding study conducted by Iranian scientists. The study provides further proof that GM soy is not substantially equivalent to non-GM soy, meaning that regulatory authorisations given on the assumption of equivalence are invalid.

The study, by Horyie Taheri of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences and colleagues, was conducted on 18 male rats in three different groups (6 rats per group). One group was fed a diet containing 10% GM soybean oil for 90 days, while the other two groups served as control groups, receiving either non-GM soybean oil or a standard lab diet, respectively.

Food Integrity Now invites you to read this very informative article by Mary Chantler about how to lose weight without taking drugs, like Ozempic. Thank you Mary for this great information!

If you live in the US, chances are you have heard about Ozempic, Wegovy or other current weight-loss medications that are known as “anoretics” or appetite suppressants. Many celebrities are taking them currently and they are the secret behind Oprah Winfrey’s new slimmer physique. They are expensive, but surprisingly easy to get a prescription for.

We will go over the risks of these drugs and why they can occur, the ways in which you can stimulate these satiety hormones in your body naturally, and what you can do to avoid some of the risks if you are already taking these drugs.

During this extremely difficult time, I want to thank the many supporters who posted online, wondering if I was safe, offering support, and donating to help those in need in my beautiful region of the Blue Ridge Mountains. My family, my home, and I are safe. We still do not have internet so I appreciate your patience in being slow to report and respond to so many. Your kindness is what kept me connected to our community and out of drowning in despair.

Story at-a-glance

• The documentary “Poisoned Fields — Glyphosate, the Underrated Risk?” chronicles the risks of glyphosate to human health and the environment
• Researchers found severely restricted, damaged root growth among plants growing in fields treated with glyphosate for more than a decade
• Farmers also noted correlations between glyphosate in animal feed and rates of miscarriage, deformities in piglets and infertility among farm animals

Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Bayer’s (formerly Monsanto) Roundup, is an herbicide like no other, as more tons of it have been sprayed worldwide than any other herbicide before it. Writing in Environmental Sciences Europe, scientists noted that in the U.S. and likely globally, "no pesticide has come remotely close to such intensive and widespread use."

The farm, the garden, and many aspects of our society are in a time of change. As the jewel-colored tree leaves dance into their glory and begin to fall to the ground, we are reminded of the dramatic transformations that we, as living beings inevitably go through. Nothing ever stays the same. We are all growing, old ways are falling away, we hibernate, reflect, and grow, and new ways will spring up, continuing the cycle of life.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) introduced the Safe School Meals Act (SSMA), legislation to protect children from harmful toxics in school meals. The bill would place limits on heavy metals, ban certain pesticide residues, trigger the safety reassessment of food additives including artificial food dyes that have been linked with health harms, and ban the use of PFAS, phthalates, and bisphenols in school meal food packaging. The bill would increase the funding available for schools to purchase safe school meals.
