Obituary
It's a Happy New Year of a lot of people around the world, but not all of us
survived into the new year 2012. The oldest living american, Haebes Corpus, has
died; just minutes before the end of the year. How sad. I didn't really know
him. I was never interested. He was just some superfluous entity that everyone
seemed to admire, but no one really paid any attention to. Now that he's gone, I
really miss him. I wish I could have done something to help keep him alive.
America will not be the same without him. I didn't know how important he was,
and I know that he will be missed by everyone. There can never be anyone to
replace him, and this leaves a giant hole in my life that will never be filled.

My most humble respects at the passing of Haebes Corpus, and my new year's eve
resolution is to avenge his death.

And now the part you've all been waiting for
The results are in
Here are the preliminary returns from our street observers
the status of new years resolutions has been resolved in most cases
the top ten failures for the new year's broken resolutions are:

1. No more drinking
2. No more smoking
3. No more eating
4. No more eating cooked food
5. No more eating animals
6. No more pills
7. Go to the gym
8. Pay all my bills
9. Stop shaking the baby

And the winner of the top ten failed new years eve resolutions is
10.     Not go back to jail

Hi everyone, Doug appears to have a very nice offer here, for those who find it
of interest.

Enjoy!

Hi rawfood,

  This is Donna and I found this wonderful F*R*E*E program called Healing With
The Masters and wanted to make sure you joined us!

Someone sent me this link and i loved listening. In Joy DonnaC
     I have been listening to the most amazing series and wanted to share
it with you... it is really changing the way I see the world and as a result is
really creating a level of peace and opening I didn’t know was
possible. I thought of you immediately and just had to let you in the one
of the best kept secrets on the internet.... AND IT’S FREE. Reading
through their literature and from personal experience of listening to these
life-changing shows, they have been around for 5 years, 9 seasons, and have
reached more than 250,000 folks in 203 countries. So they are the real
deal. If you are ready to experience more light, joy, and thrive instead of
just survive, they have the information that can help guide you to a more
fulfilling life (did I mention it is free too?) Plus the host Jennifer
McLean is a riot, and puts the light back into enlightenment; the shows are fun
and upbeat as well as informative and chock full of processes, techniques,
invocations and prayer that you can use right now. Here is all you have to
do... Register here for free 
[http://www.healingwiththemasters.com/share/visitor.php?visitorcode=0167d7791afb\
b7720a4d3c0acc0cf6c1] Then watch for the email from Jennifer (you have to
confirm your registration -- then she will send you a password that you can use
to listen to the shows free). The sooner you join the more shows you can
experience. SIGNATURE P.S. you are also doing me a favor of sorts, the
more of my friends that register through me... allows me to pick a
program/product for free. I am loving their offerings and would be so happy to
be able to have one of these special products in my audio library – SO
THANKS IN ADVANCE for giving me a little lift in possibility towards
that!  ==>

Hello: I am Margaret, formerly known as manifestnow, responsible for a lot of
the files in the files section you see on the left hand side of your screen if
you go to the website of raw food@yahoogroups.com
I created those files, with permission from the owner of this group, soon after
I joined.  There are a number of wonderful raw vegan recipes there, as well as
other useful information.

I went AWOL a few years back, but, from time to time, I do come back and look to
see what is going on here.  Now I have some new info to add.

For the past couple of years, I have been making sauerkraut.  I came up with a
way to have it ferment relatively smell-free in 3 days, which is a boon to
people who live in small apartments, as I do.

Recently, I have suddenly become aware that there are many more things you can
ferment rather than just cabbage, and I have been experimenting.   Currently, I
have four jars going - one of salsa, one of salsa with about half the jar filled
with chopped onion, and two separate recipes for green beans.

I invite you to check out my blog prettysmartrawfoodideas.wordpress.com  to see
what I've been doing.  I started my blog soon after I left this mailing list
because my CSA (community supported agriculture) was not receptive to raw vegan
recipes, which, as a newly-minted raw vegan chef, I was producing by the
boatload.

If you would like to find raw vegan recipes, or information on how to ferment
raw vegetables easily and quickly, please visit my blog
prettysmartrawfoodideas.wordpress.com
There is a search box in which you can key in a word or phrase to try to find a
recipe you can use.
If you don't find a recipe you are looking for, then please contact me. If I
don't have the recipe on-line, I probably have it on my hard drive, and I can
send it to you.

I look forward to seeing you soon.

Hi everyone,

I posted briefly on this a day or two ago, and someone wrote back asking for
more informational resources. I very cleverly
"misplaced" that email, so I'm creating this post to share some additional
information with everyone. Hopefully, whoever wrote the
request is reading, :)

First, here is the official voter information guide:
http://voterguide.sos.ca.gov/propositions/37/.

Coincidentally, earlier today Natural News published a relevant piece entitled
"What exactly are GMOs and why should they be
labeled?"
Available at: http://www.naturalnews.com/037245_GMOs_labeling_GM_crops.html.

About 10 months ago, Natural News published another article entitled "Biotech's
dirty tricks exposed in new documentary: 'Scientists
Under Attack'.
Available at:
http://www.naturalnews.com/033804_Scientists_Under_Attack_GMOs.html.

Please take note of the various links provided in both articles and including
the sources listed at the end of each article.

The SeedsOfDeception website at https://seedsofdeception.com/ provides excellent
information, and of course the book by the same
title provides much more.

The Fooducate blog site now has an article entitled "37 Reasons to Vote for Prop
37 (Mandatory GMO Food Labels".
Available at:
https://blog.fooducate.com/2012/09/10/37-reasons-to-vote-for-prop-37-mandatory-g\
mo-food-labels/.

"Yes on 37" has a site at
https://blog.fooducate.com/2012/09/10/37-reasons-to-vote-for-prop-37-mandatory-g\
mo-food-labels/.

The Organic Consumers Association has numerous articles on GMOs, a few of which
contain enough information (as opposed to polemic)
to be worth reading. One such article is entitled "Scientist Jeopardizes Career
by Publishing Paper Criticizing GMOs".
Available at:  <http://www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_19468.cfm>
http://www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_19468.cfm.

The Rense organization has published various articles. An example is one
entitled "The Amazing Revolving Door - Monsanto, FDA &
EPA".
Available at:  <http://rense.com/general33/fd.htm>
http://rense.com/general33/fd.htm. Note that this one is about 10 years old, but
circumstances have only gotten worse since then (if that is even possible).

Quite a bit of information is available at the Ag BioTech InfoNet site,
http://www.biotech-info.net/, though you may have to look
around a bit.

Finally, a rather excellent article entitled "GE - US analysis - GE is not
extension of conventional plant breeding" is available at
http://www.gene.ch/info4action/2000/Feb/msg00028.html. You may wish to read this
last item first.

Hope this information is helpful!

   <http://organicconsumers.org/images/bytes/ronnie-new.jpeg> Dear Organic
Consumer,
We are entering the home stretch of the most important food policy fight in your
lifetime. Prop 37, the California Right to Know
Genetically Engineered Food Act, is a November 6 grassroots-powered, citizens'
ballot initiative that has huge implications for the
future of food in this country.
This is a battle that pits the people - you, me, moms, dads, rich, poor, young,
old - against fat-cat pesticide, biotech, and
junk-food corporations who for years have shamelessly manipulated science, the
political system, and the truth in order to rack up
obscene profits at the expense of your health and safety.
This is a battle that has nothing to do with partisan politics. National polls
show that 91% of Americans - republicans, democrats,
independents, libertarians - want GMOs labeled.
This is a battle that began on the ground in California and has caught fire,
garnering national and international media attention,
drawing donors and volunteers from all 50 states.
This is a battle that we must win . . . if we are ever going to have what
citizens in nearly 50 other countries already have: the
basic right to know if our food contains pesticide-injected, bacteria and
virus-laced genetically modified ingredients. Ingredients
that, according to a growing number of scientists, are making us sick with
everything from allergies and obesity, to cancer and
organ failure.
In a few short weeks, early voting begins in California. By Nov. 6, this battle
will have been won or lost.
If you eat food, this is your fight. If you haven't joined in, now is the time.
You take the risks, Monsanto gets the benefits
Would you knowingly feed your family foods that are linked to cancer and organ
failure? Absolutely not. Monsanto knows this.
Monsanto knows that the FDA has given it a free ride for more than 15 years,
allowing its bioengineers to concoct laboratory
experiments using you as their lab rat. Between 75% - 80% of all non-organic
processed foods contain GMOs. Unless those foods are
labeled, you are most likely a human lab rat in a vast genetic experiment.
You take all the risks, Monsanto gets all the benefits.
Scientists point to a growing body of evidence to support claims that GMOs are
linked to a host of health concerns. Why didn't we
know this 15 years ago? Because without labels, it's impossible to trace
specific health concerns to their food origins. The FDA
conducts no pre-market safety testing on GMO foods, instead relying on Monsanto,
DuPont, and Dow chemical to vouch for their safety.

Yes, believe it or not, the FDA allows the same companies that lied to us about
the safety of DDT, Agent Orange, PCBs and bovine
growth hormone to conduct their own dubious safety testing on GMOs, and then use
those tests as 'proof' that GMOs are safe.
If genetically modified foods are so safe, why is Big Ag afraid to label them?
If genetically engineered foods are safe, why are
biotech companies, food manufacturers, and supermarket chains spending millions
of dollars to deny you your right to know?
Prop 37 is our best hope - maybe our only chance
It's not a stretch to say that if we lose the GMO labeling battle in California,
we may never get another chance to force Big
Biotech and Big Food to come clean about what they are doing to the food that
you and I feed to our families. While some argue that
we should be focused on a national GMO labeling law, those in the know
understand that without this win in California, we don't
stand a snowball's chance in hell of passing a nationwide GMO labeling law.
In the past two years alone, more than 19 states have attempted to pass GMO
labeling legislation. Yet despite overwhelming
bipartisan public support, every one of those efforts has failed. Why? Because
powerful agribusiness lobbyists have corrupted the
political process.
A federal bill? Forget it. More than a million people signed a petition to the
FDA demanding it act on GMO labeling - more than any
other FDA petition in history - yet your guys and gals in Washington have failed
to act. As long as former Monsanto guns like Tom
Vilsack and Michael Taylor hold key government positions and powerful influence,
there will be no federal GMO labeling law.
As California goes, so goes the nation
Major food companies have already conceded that if we pass Prop 37 in
California, we may as well pass a national GMO labeling law.
If this law passes, food manufacturers will take GMOs out of their products,
rather than risk losing sales by slapping a label
proclaiming "This product contains GMOs" on every package. They admit that from
a production standpoint, it makes no sense to
reformulate only the products they sell in California, the eighth largest
economy in the world - they'll be forced to reformulate
all of their products for all US markets.
If this law passes, we'll finally see GMOs disappear from products in all 50
states, just as they've disappeared from foods in
nearly 50 other countries that already have mandatory GMO labeling laws.
The opposition knows what's at stake. That's why they've amassed a war chest of
more than $32 million - so far - to kill this
initiative. Monsanto alone has kicked in $7.2 million. DuPont and its
subsidiaries have dumped in $4.2 million, Dow and Bayer
CropScience $2 million each, and the Kings of Junk Food, Pepsi and Coca-Cola,
have contributed a combined $2.8 million. The biotech
and junk food processing industries are running scared because, finally, GMO
labeling is going to be decided by the people - not
politicians or industry lobbyists.
The battle for GMO labeling relies on you
The Organic Consumers Association and our allied lobbying organization, the
Organic Consumers Fund, have been a key player in Prop
37 from the very beginning, spending countless hours, serving on the campaign's
steering committee, and raising funds. OCF has
pledged $1 million - money we've raised from people like you who are outraged
that our elected officials have ignored pleas from the
overwhelming majority of their constituents to require mandatory labeling of
GMOs.
Today, I ask for your continued support in this monumental David-versus-Goliath
fight for what ought to be a guaranteed, basic right
- a right we've been denied for far too long. The more money the opposition
throws at this fight, the more obvious it is that for
the first time ever, they believe their science experiments and huge profits -
at your expense - may be at risk.
The polls show us leading in California, despite being behind in terms of
raising money. But money alone won't win this battle. It
will take a herculean effort by tens of thousands of volunteers to overcome the
opposition's massive advertising campaign, a
campaign of lies meant to frighten and intimidate voters into thinking a few
extra words on a label will somehow be more dangerous
than being a lab rat for Monsanto.
If you haven't already,

please pitch in today using
our secure online donation system, by sending a check, or by calling our office
to help with the ongoing mobilization of volunteers,
printing of leaflets and signs, and outreach to the media to keep this issue at
the forefront of voters' minds.
If you have already donated all you can, please reach out to your friends.
Forward this letter. Share it on Facebook and Twitter.
If we win this battle in California, we win it for all of us. If we lose?
Monsanto will grow larger, more powerful, more arrogant,
more dangerous. And the quality of your food - and most likely your health -
will deteriorate.
This is your fight. And time is running out. Thank you!
Organically yours,
For an Organic Future,

37 in California. We need to get materials out to
the field, and we need to get voters to the polls. Early voting begins Oct. 9!

Keeping a garden hose looking decent within one's yard can be a bit challenging.
Recently, I came upon expandable hoses, a product
category of which I we previously unaware, and I thought it might interest some
people in these groups.

To keep it brief, I'll just provide a few links, you can do the rest! There are
probably more, but I leave that to you, as well. If
anyone tries one of these contraptions, please share with the rest of us!

Hi Diane,

Thanks for sharing this! The question went right by me. If you find out anything
more, I hope you'll share that, too!

Have a great weekend!

Hi Elchanan!  This sounded great, but my husband has been concerned about lead
in flexible hoses, so I called the phone number on
the website.  The salesperson had no idea about lead, she sent me to customer
service, and that gal had no idea either.  Supposedly,
they'll research it and call me back, but the fact that this information isn't
readily available does not give me much confidence
that this hose is lead-free.

Please visit my blog Pretty Smart Raw Food
Ideas<http://prettysmartrawfoodideas.wordpress.com>.
  I have accumulated a number of holiday recipes, and interesting links.
  Additionally, I have added my own recipes (please search on vegetables or
type of preparation, i.e., dehydration, etc.).  My recent fascination is
cultured vegetables, so you can find ways to ferment/culture vegetables.
