Superbug and Your Food
All week, every major news outlet talked up a storm about the infections killing teens and others. The antibiotic resistant infections are long overdue and very little can be done to stop them.
The food chain in the U.S. is contaminated and loaded with antibiotics. These foods are beef, chicken and pork. The second tier of foods are eggs, milk, cheese and coldcuts, from the same source.
Our cattle are fed other cattle. Mainly none edible parts such as heart, stomach, intestines and other organs. Our cattle, therefore, are fed huge amounts of antibiotics to kill any infection caused by this cannibalism. Chicken, one very dirty and nasty piece of meat, ubiquitous in every New York deli, in no less than 10 different recipe preparations, is also loaded to the max with antibiotics.
Pork, long considered swine and the filthiest of creatures by many of the world’s population, such as Jews and Muslims, see they do have things in common, may be the least harmful as far as antibiotic use goes. They have been genetically altered to be more lean and grow faster and smaller. That will pass on a whole new series of human health issues soon to be uncovered.
American people are toxic, constipated, obese and yes, antibiotic resistant. There is no end in sight. I will attempt to lay out a little guidance that over time, I am not sure how much time, years possibly, to bring the body back to normal and become non-toxic.
For starters, stop eating any meat that is not organic. What does that mean? Organic simply means no antibiotics, pesticides, insecticides or animal parts were used in the raising of any animal slaughtered for human consumption.
The U.S. beef and poultry industry monitored under the FDA and USDA require all animals, several days before slaughter, to be removed from antibiotic use so the level of these drugs falls within limits set up of course by none other than the FDA and USDA. I do not know what the acceptable limits are for us humans to consume in our daily diet of McDonald’s, Burger King and KFC.
Only 5% of the U.S consumes organic produce, meat, fruits and liquids. I suggest to most parents, eat your organic veggies and organic beans to get a good dose of protein. Cut all meat consumption to once or twice per week. Eat organic meats only.
Now, to be fair to the U.S. meat industry, I will point to another industry that abuses the dispensing of antibiotics. Doctors!
Ear infections are quite common among toddlers. Their cause and cure is a lengthy subject to be covered another day. I remember my oldest son from the ages of 4-6 was on and off antibiotics for two years. I admit I knew little of what I know today, however, I learned quickly he was the only child ever to go through such a long period of antibiotic drug use of my four children. This is just one example of the abuse our health system perpetrates daily, starting at such a young age.
Yes diet and alternative methods of dealing with ear infections helped me with my other three children.
We are bombarded all year by several of the largest industries in America with contaminated food and a drug dealing health industry.
Wake up America! Aids, car accidents, DWI, breast cancer and many other causes of death will become three times less a cause of death. Our food chain and daily diet is becoming the number 1 cause of disability, diabetes II, stroke and obesity. Now death to superbugs.
America shouldn’t fear global warming, at least not yet. America should fear the big corporations who feed us, provide health care for us and the governmental agencies that monitor those corporations. Wake up America!

FDA Approves Anti-Psychotic Drug for Teens
FDA Approves Anti-Psychotic Drug for Teens
The Food and Drug Administration approved expanding use of Johnson & Johnson’s anti-psychotic drug Risperdal to include adolescents suffering from schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, a move likely to heighten the already-fierce debate over pediatric prescriptions of such of such powerful drugs.Some doctors are concerned about the safety of treating children whose bodies are still growing with Risperdal and similar medications. They point out that the FDA’s decision is based on short-term studies. Risperdal and competing drugs have previously been tied to serious side effects including increased blood sugar, a potential precursor to diabetes.“ We definitely need to have longer-term follow-up to learn the full extent of the side-effect liabilities,” said Jeffrey Lieberman, chairman of the psychiatry department at Columbia University in New York gets research funding from drug companies.The FDA approval, which is limited to schizophrenic youngsters 13 –17 years old and short-term treatment of bipolar patients who are 10 – 17, also comes as experts continue to disagree over what symptoms justify prescribing anti-psychotics to teens and children.Risperdal is the first of the newer-generation anti-psychotic drugs known as “atypical” to win FDA approval for those conditions in young people. It was already sanctioned for irritability in pediatric patients with autism.Doctors are allowed to prescribe marketed drugs for any use they wish, even if it isn’t specifically approved by the FDA, and the use of anti-psychotics in young people is already growing rapidly. Overall, the drugs have roughly $15 billion in yearly sales, with Risperdal ringing up $4.18 billion last year. The number of doctor visits by patients 20 years and younger that included an anti-psychotic prescription grew to an estimated 1.2 million in 2002, from about 201,000 in 1993.
Here is where I must stop and ask, what happened between 1993 and 2002 that caused bipolar disorder and schizophrenia to increase in teens?
Was it Bill Clinton’s Monica Lewinsky affair? Was it the tech bubble of 200? Or was it September 11th, 2001?
Here is what I think. Perhaps it was because of the disconnection between parent and child. Let’s face it. No 13-year-old is going to get a prescription for such a dangerous drug without the parent or parent’s consent.
Are these the same 5-7-year-old children, who were prescribed Ritalin for ADD? Wow, what a pharmaceutical company dream come true!
A drug addict for life. Once this child is of the legal age, 18 in most states and 21 in others, well, they can now ask for any psychotic drug they want. In addition to five other or so drugs to counter all the side effects from the childhood years of drug abuse. Well, is it really drug abuse if I allow my doctor to prescribe a drug for my child that will allow him or her to be a more attentive student, be more sociable with others while I am working 12 hours a day, golfing, doing yoga and pilates, or is it child abuse?
I have four children. If they so much take a Tylenol over a six-month period I am upset. They all seem ok. They do well in school. They seem to follow instructions well.
I am simple man. I believe a little family participation, playing a little ball in the park, good food, sunlight and exercise can do a child a lot of good.
I am, however, a little afraid for them and myself. I am afraid that one of these abused children will forget to take his or her medication one day or two and snap. In the process, hurt someone in my family and other innocent children. Unfortunately, I do see children in our community who are troubled and are on these drugs. Frankly, I am bit more than afraid. I am terrified at the thought.
If you are one of these parents or know someone who is, get help. Learn how proper nutrition, exercise and tender care can be more powerful than any drug.
I am aware that there are truly some troubled children out there. I do not believe there are millions of troubled children out there in the U.S.

The Death of Environmentalism
The Death of Environmentalism
There has finally came a book that dares to actually speak the truth about global warming.
Breakthrough: From the Death of Environmentalism to the Politics of Possibility. Authors Ted Nordhaus and Michael Shellenberger break from the Sierra Club and Al Gore mentality and really do tell the truth inconvenient truth.
The major point made in this book that Al Gore’s Inconvenient Truth farce barely gave 60 seconds to, is that China and India could well be solely responsible for all Global Warming by 2050. Here’s what Shellenberger had to say.
“If China burns all the coal that is set to burn between now and 2050,” Shellenberger says, “We are super-deeply fucked.”
The fact hardly ever talked about by most hard left wing environmentalists is that China fires up a new coal burning plant every 7-10 days with no pollution control measures whatsoever. India isn’t very far behind them.
Here is a fact made evident in the book, Breakthrough. Even if every American SUV owner were to buy a hybrid tomorrow, that wouldn’t come close to offsetting the environmental change being perpetrated around the globe. In fact all the standards, cap and trade limits, and emission reduction standards that environmentalists have been pushing for may slow, but will never reverse global warming. That is Shellenberger and Nordhaus’ inconvenient truth.
Hollywood and Al Gore have put together a convenient lie at making the U.S. the bad guy, again, for the world’s global woes.
Consider this. Evidence shows, since the Kyoto agreement, many of the 36 industrialized countries that committed to reducing emissions from many of the 36 nations have gone up not down.
These two men have realized a new way of thinking about global warming has come. For the past 10 years, Nordhaus and Shellenberger toiled in the green movement as political strategists and consultants, each wanting to have an impact on society.
Breakthrough takes accurate aim at the environmental movement’s biggest leaders, like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Al Gore. “If this book doesn’t piss off a lot of Liberals, we’ve failed,” Nordhaus says.
I, Thomas Affatato, am personally against big government and higher taxes. However, I do believe global warming is real. The proof for me came two years ago when I was introduced to chemtrails in the sky. Those ubiquitous long plumes that criss-cross each other and expand into a hazy cloud cover. The Discovery Channel had a segment on it this year. I realized then, that this concerted effort by the world’s industrialized nations to filter the sun’s rays is possibly a last minute effort to save the plant. This is quite alarming. There are hundreds of thousands of health issues, although unproven at this time, related to the chemicals dispersed by these high flying unmarked tankers.
I do not believe that the meteoric rise of asthma in children over the last decade is the result of food allergies and peanuts.
Breakthrough contends it is the government’s responsibility to fund in an unprecedented way, to find the technology needed to eliminate carbon emissions. They call for a $300 billion investment that could lead to another $200 billion investment by private enterprise.
Nordhaus and Shellenberger contend this is the next revolution in technology. They call it the $300 billion Manhattan Project.
Nordhaus and Shellenberger make a good point. Intel and Google wouldn’t exist today if it weren’t massive federal spending on Computer Science for the military and many tech firms like them figured a way to take this technological revolution to the masses.
For Christ’s Sake! We have spent this money on Iraq to date. Sad to say, it may well be a $300 billion mistake and waste. More importantly are the thousands of young men and women who have been killed and mamed in the process. For what?
To protect the fuel source every air conditioned, lighted home, restaurant, factory, airline, office building and car owner throughout the world, so deeply depends. You do not see the U.S., Nato or Russia in Africa with the same zeal. Because frankly, in the world’s scheme of things. Africa does not matter.
Breakthrough will stop terrorism in its tracks. The day the Middle East and places like Venezuela are not needed we will have literally cut the head off the industrialized world’s enemies. In the process, the next technological revolution will lift billions of people out of poverty, pollution and misery.
Let’s all listen to the inconvenient truth in the new book, Breakthrough: From the Death of Environmentalism to the Politics of Possibility. By Ted Nordhaus and Michael Shellenberger.

Bush Signs FDA Drug Safety Bill
Bush Signs FDA Drug Safety Bill
President Bush signs a measure that gives the Food and Drug Administration more power and money to police dangerous side effects from prescription drugs after they reach the market. The signing averts the possibility of massive layoffs at the FDA by extending and increasing industry fees that help pay agency staff salaries. The money had been set to run out on September 30.
~End~
The key point here is the sentence, “. The signing averts the possibility of massive layoffs at the FDA by extending and increasing industry fees that help pay agency staff salaries.”
The mere fact that we have one government agency the oversees Food and Drugs, when one has nothing to do with the other is mind-boggling.
I guess if you and your family eat in McDonald’s and KFC several times a week, then you and possibly a few family members may be on Diabetes Type II drugs and Lipitor for high cholesterol.
McDonald’s and KFC have serious side effects just like drugs. So I guess the FDA, Food and Drug Administration makes sense.
Here’s a little food for thought. The pharmaceutical companies and many food companies contribute as much as $500,000,000.00 annually to the operation of the FDA. Visit the U.S. Office of Management and Budget to see how our government agencies get funded.
Now, if I ran a public corporation the way the government runs the FDA, funded by the same corporations is what set up to oversee. I would be sent to jail.
So it is no surprise that we are deluged with Drug commercials and Fast Food commercials. Otherwise, how will these major corporations get the $500,000,000.00 annually required to fund the state sponsored FDA, Food and Drug Administration.
Just Mind-Boggling!

Emergency Radios
I recently came across an Ad by the American Red Cross. They are selling Emergency Radios, American Red Cross Radios by Eton. These radios are a light source, cell phone charger, radio and renewable energy source. A tool in the event of emergencies like tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, blackouts, earthquakes, wild fires and terrorist attacks. Prices start at $50.00 and I am sure the American Red Cross is receiving some donations from the proceeds.

Are Food Ads Tied to Childhood Obesity?
A recent poll reprinted in ADWEEK, September 10th, 2007, originally taken from the Wall Street Journal, asked people if they thought Food Ads aimed at kids are a major contributor to childhood obesity?
40% Responded Somewhat
38% Responded Most Definitely
12% Responded Disagree Somewhat
6% Responded Disagree Strongly
3% Responded Not Sure
I think I fall into the 6% respondents, Disagree Strongly. I find it hard to believe a 6year old child or even 10-year-old children are out grocery shopping on their own. I mean few people even shop with cash anymore. I use debit or credit. So there is no way grocery shopping is done by children. Which leaves me with one conclusion.
In our busy, high-tech, overdrive world, most parents get their children exactly what they want to shut them up. Of course Nabisco and Kraft know this, but when do we as adults, parents, teachers of our youth start parenting? When do we start showing our intellect?
I am no fan of Food and Drug Ads on TV in the least bit. I think they should go the way of alcohol and cigarette Ads. When do we take control of our destiny? Quite frankly, I think it is an insult to anyone’s intelligence who lets a child, because of a TV commercial, become obese.
No one is to blame but you.

Farm Bill Reform
Farm Bill Reform
Congress is currently revising the Farm Bill, which helps determine what foods are available in schools, nutrition programs, and the entire food economy. There is a direct link between America’s high rates of cancer and other chronic diseases and our access to cheap and unhealthy food products that are high in fat and cholesterol.
Now more than ever we must focus on moving government subsidies away from animal agriculture. In 2005, the federal government purchased more than $385 million of beef and cheese for food assistance and spent only about $50 million on fresh fruits and vegetables.
Here’s how you can help:
· Call your senators today and ask them to reduce or eliminate subsidies for meat, dairy, and feed crops through the Farm Bill. Phone calls are an extremely effective way to communicate with Congress. Find your congressional representatives by visiting www.SourceWatch.org and clicking on “Congresspedia.”
· If you belong to an organization that works on health and nutrition issues or on cutting health care costs, please let that organization know that you want agricultural policy to be high on its agenda.

Food Allergies
Food Allergies
Please Don’t Pass the Nuts
www.AllergicGirl.blogspot.com
“It’s a shame that so many have no clue about something so basic as allergies,” writes New York-based “Allergic Girl” in this blog about her travails navigating severe allergies to tree nuts, fish and several other foods, as well as allergic asthma. This well-written blog aims to educate and advocate “with charm and persistence.” It provides a list of allergen-free foods, reviews of allergy sensitive restaurants in New York and other places the author has traveled, and interviews with chefs on their tips for diners with allergies.
While most of the blog deals directly with the author’s dietary experiences, she includes posts about her social life and travels, or reviews of movies or plays she has seen. But it’s all connected. The blog, she writes, “is a testament to going out despite being afraid of getting allergic to something; leaving my safe zone to try something new despite the risk I may get sick.”
