School lunchrooms using ammonia treated beef?

7 01 2010

School lunchrooms and fast food establishments are using a beef component in their ground meat for burgers that has been injected with ammonia to kill E. coli and salmonella, according to a New York Times article.

Beef Products Inc., the company responsible for this innovative technique to use fatty trimmings that were once relegated to dog food and cooking oils, had commissioned a study that revealed that the ammonia process was effective in killing E. coli and salmonella.

With the approval of the United States Department of Agriculture, this processed beef has become a mainstay in school lunchrooms and fast food establishments. According to the article, the federal school lunch program used an estimated 5.5 million pounds of the processed beef last year alone.

The article goes on to state: “But government and industry records obtained by The New York Times show that in testing for the school lunch program, E. coli and salmonella pathogens have been found dozens of times in Beef Products meat, challenging claims by the company and the U.S.D.A. about the effectiveness of the treatment. Since 2005, E. coli has been found 3 times and salmonella 48 times, including back-to-back incidents in August in which two 27,000-pound batches were found to be contaminated. The meat was caught before reaching lunch-rooms trays.”

On a personal note, this information is enough for me to no longer allow my son to buy school lunches that contain beef. I have contacted the township school board via email to find out who the beef supplier is for our lunch program. Hopefully, I will get a response soon.



Join reader action to educate the Associated Press about natural remedies, alternative medicine

12 11 2009

 This story comes from (NaturalNews:)

In a series of blatant attack stories, the AP has published a series of highly misleading ”news” with the apparent purpose of destroying the credibility of alternative medicine. Today, we ask for your help in contacting the AP and educating them about why alternative medicine really works: It’s safer, more effective and more affordable than dangerous drugs and chemo.

(NaturalNews) The Associated Press continues its assault on alternative medicine, led by writer Marilynn Marchione who writes attack pieces on everything under the sun (including the sun itself) related to alternative medicine and natural therapies. The Associated Press continues to publish stories carrying this highly-opinionated (and provably false) header:

EDITOR’S NOTE: Ten years and $2.5 billion in research have found no cures from alternative medicine. Yet these mostly unproven treatments are now mainstream and used by more than a third of all Americans. This is one in an occasional Associated Press series on their use and potential risks.

NaturalNews and KangenWaterReport are asking readers to contact AP and express both your displeasure with their outright bias against natural medicine and their lack of information about the safety and effectiveness of natural, “alternative” therapies.

Kill Your Stress … Before Your Stress Kills You!

10 05 2008
  • Just about every illness is either directly caused, or made worse, by stress. That includes heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure, along with: Relax
  • Back pain and headaches
  • Stomach and digestive problem
  • Tooth grinding
  • Skin problems
  • Weight gain or loss
  • Depression
  • Confusion, irritability, forgetfulness and more

Since stress is something that you encounter every day, you simply must have tools to deal with it if you want to be happy and healthy. One of my personal favorites, as many of you may know, is the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), which involves simple tapping with your fingertips to input kinetic energy onto specific meridians on your head and chest while you think about your specific problem and voice positive affirmations.

But there are many others out there and, really, the more stress management tools you learn, and use regularly, the better of you’ll be.

The following tips from Lifehack will help you develop practices and a mindset that dissipate and reduce the inevitable stress of life itself.

1. Make quiet time: Whether you meditate daily or just spend an hour a night with a book, you need to create a space where you can clear your mind.

2. Eat better: A good diet can help your body better deal with the effects of stress.

3. Make family time: Try to eat at least one meal a day with your family (or with friends if you’re single).

4. Talk it out: Bottling up your frustrations, even the little ones, leads to stress.

5. Prioritize: Figure out what in your life actually needs attention and what doesn’t.

6. Accept interruptions gracefully: Leave enough wiggle room so you can adapt to changes in your day.

7. Pay attention to yourself: Notice when you feel stressed, and determine the cause.

8. Love: Build relationships. Share yourself. Feel human warmth.

9. Learn How to Relax and Center: Try this free download created by Dr. Neil Fiore that will guide you through proven breathing and relaxation exercises.
