Big Pork And Their Big Fat Lies

Beyond Organic Insider
Thursday, March 29, 2012

I saw this video today on the Organic Consumers Associations website, and as they pointed out─it’s ridiculous
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbdB9WOICyo&feature=player_embedded

I guess with all of the negative press that factory farms and CAFOs (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations) have received lately, they have to resort to disingenuous PR schemes in an attempt to save face.
Let’s examine a few of the flawed statements in this video, but before we do, let me say that I do not consume or recommend pork from conventional or organic operations.  I don’t believe that pork is something that God intended for His people to consume, and I don’t believe that it’s healthy.
So, why bother to examine the video? Simple. These farming practices have become rampant in the beef, dairy and poultry industries as well.
Here’s what the video would lead you to believe…
1) Keeping animals confined to a “modern barn” is “the right thing to do.”
Wouldn’t the right (humane) thing to do be to allow animals to live outdoors in their natural habitat and consume their natural diet?
2) They do it to “protect the animals.”
In reality, they do it to increase profits!
3) They are being “good neighbors” by “protecting the environment and preserving the land for future generations”
The fact is that allowing animals to roam freely in their natural habitat and consume their natural diet is what actually improves the environment.  I’ve seen this first hand, as we’ve raised cattle on our Beyond Organic ranches and allowed them to roam freely as God intended.  After all, it’s part of the Circle of Life (I couldn’t resist the animated video theme, plus this is one of my favorite Disney movies).

Beyond Organic

This is my prayer for you video link

Beyond Organic was founded based on this idea: That everyone should have access to the healthiest food and beverages on the planet. No longer would “grassfed” be solely the province of those lucky enough to be near a local farm or willing to drive to an out-of-the way store. For too long, healthy buzzwords like “organic” have belonged to the select few who can find it and afford it. Beyond Organic will change that. For the first time ever, the healthiest foods and beverages will be available to anyone, regardless of where—or how—they live.
Stretching across 8000 acres of pristine land in the Ozarks and continued among 140 acres of pure spring-fed mountain property in North Georgia, Beyond Organic is a new company on a mission to change your diet, change your life, and change your world.
Beyond Organic is the passion project of owner Jordan Rubin, who believes that we have lost our connection to the land. Where our ancestors used to drink water from unblemished springs and eat food they could grow themselves, today we rely on chemical-laden tap water and food processed to an unrecognizable form. Jordan’s vision is to alter that dynamic by reconnecting individuals to the ultimate source of health—food and water from land preserved by nature.
The best part? Beyond Organic is a direct selling company, so anyone can be involved. Whether you just want to eat and drink the best tasting, most nutritious foods on the planet, or you want to spread the message of health and wealth to others, Beyond Organic will walk alongside you in your journey to change your diet, change your life and change your world.

WHAT ARE THE DANGERS OF ALUMINUM AND OTHER CHEMICALS FOUND IN STANDARD DEODORANTS?

Numerous studies have suggested a link between aluminum absorption and Alzheimer's, Lou Gehrig's, and Parkinson's diseases. Studies have also suggested links between aluminum and several types of cancer, osteoporosis, anemia, headaches, kidney problems, liver problems, gastrointestinal problems, extreme nervousness, bone softening, decreased calcium absorption, muscle aches, and even colic and rickets in babies.

Many deodorants contain propylene glycol, which, unbeknownst to most consumers, is commonly used in automobile anti-freeze. Alcohols and peroxides found in many so-called “natural” deodorants, whether derived naturally or synthetically, are known irritants to human skin.

Both glyceryl laurate and sodium stearate are known to be reactive to skin, especially in those with allergies to glycerin or stearates and laurates. Studies have also suggested links between parabens and breast cancer.

Jungleman All-Natural Deodorant is 100% aluminum free, in addition to NOT CONTAINING any of the aforementioned chemicals found in other standard and so-called “natural” deodorants, which means you can be worry free and odor free at the same time.
