The increase, of 13 million Americans, was much larger than even the most pessimistic observers of hunger trends had expected and cast an alarming light on the daily hardships caused by the recession’s punishing effect on jobs and wages. About a third of these struggling households had what the researchers called “very low food security,” meaning lack of money forced members to skip meals, cut portions or otherwise forgo food at some point in the year. The other two-thirds typically had enough to eat, but only by eating cheaper or less varied foods, relying on government aid like food stamps, or visiting food pantries and soup kitchens. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.com http://www.fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/health/food/news.php?q=1258392214 Nov. 16, 2009  (Oct. 19, 2009) Mom Feeds a Family of Six on $4 a Week: Coupon cutting and special savings can drastically cut the grocery bill.

If processed white sugar, partially-hydrogenated trans fat oils and synthetic chemical vitamins could enhance human immunity, Kellogg's would be King of the Hill, but in reality, of all the many foods for boosting human immune function, Cocoa Krispies somehow isn't even on the list. In fact, you might say that Kellogg's claim of boosting immunity with a sugary cereal sprayed with synthetic vitamins is one of the most hilarious claims yet floated by a cereal company, but what's definitely not funny is the fact that the FDA openly allows this deceptive, fraudulent food labeling to continue even while threatening, arresting or prosecuting nutritional supplement companies that make similar but true claims. For example, it's illegal in America to claim that vitamin D boosts immune function (even though it does), but it's perfectly allowable for Kellogg's to claim their sugared-up Cocoa Krispies boosts immunity (even though it doesn't). text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.com http://www.fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/health/food/news.php?q=1257442576 ----- Original Message ----- From: NaturalNews To: bellringer@fourwinds10.com Sent: Wednesday, November 04, 2009 1:25 PM Subject: NaturalNews report: Hidden dangerous ingredients in your groceries   NaturalNews Insider Alert (www.NaturalNews.com) Online reports / book announcements (Unsubscribe instructions at bottom) Dear readers, Do you know which seven dangerous food ingredients to watch out for in your groceries?

In response, officials said they would reduce their wheat harvest by one-eighth each year until production would cease entirely in 2016. The Saudis would then import virtually all the grain consumed by their Canada-sized population of nearly 30 million people. The Saudis are unique in being so wholly dependent on irrigation. But other, far larger, grain producers such as India and China are facing irrigation water losses and could face grain production declines. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.com http://www.fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/health/food/news.php?q=1253645972 Sept. 22, 2009 (SCROLL DOWN) * * * * * * * * * * There's a new plot underway to sterilize your food and destroy the nutritional value of fresh produce.

The Chinese are taking over market share, especially of vegetables and agricultural commodities like soy, thanks to several American-based multinational food corporations that have hijacked the organic bandwagon. When multinational corporation Dean Foods acquired Silk soy milk, Midwestern farmers and farmers cooperatives were told they had to match the rock-bottom cost of Chinese organic soybeans -- a price they simply could not meet. Organic agriculture is labor-intensive, and China's edge comes largely from its abundance of cheap labor. Silk bought Chinese soybeans for years, building a commanding share of the soy milk market, before substantially decreasing its support of organic agriculture altogether. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.com http://www.fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/health/food/news.php?q=1249426559 Democrat Fascists pass HR 2749 – and set the stage to use food and nutrition as a weapon against the people.

The Holdomor as it is known in the Ukraine, or “Hunger Plague”, was effectively a terror weapon used by those in power to force submission to new policies the regime instituted to control all aspects of Sovite life.

More than 925 million people—mostly women and children—are still unable to buy food, despite the fact that there is enough to go around. At play in both the financial and food crises are the rippling effects of decades of deregulation, corporate consolidation and speculation. Unchecked profiteering in both capital and agricultural commodity markets has created inflationary “bubbles” where market prices are divorced from real-world indicators of value. But whereas the United States Treasury and Federal Reserve have enormous cash reserves to tap, international grain reserves were dismantled in the 1990s. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.com http://www.fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/health/food/news.php?q=1246054599 June 26, 2009 Processed People - Promo trailer #1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQNNX2Oo7Kk   Processed People - Promo trailer #2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G96Sztb8Ctk text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.com http://www.fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/health/food/news.php?q=1246030316 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.com http://www.fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/health/food/news.php?q=1245784596 HOLLY NOTE: We have posted articles continuously for the past 3 years detailing depletion of US and global grain reserves to record lows, grain thefts in Kansas, food shortages, rising food prices and resulting food riots, in hopes that you get this message: As tough as it might be right now, this is definitely the time to purchase significant food stocks.

Compared with last year, there are 100 million more people who live in hunger, meaning they consume fewer than 1,800 calories a day, the Food and Agriculture Organization said. Almost all the world’s undernourished live in developing countries, where food prices have fallen more slowly than in the richer countries, the report said. Poor countries need more aid and agricultural investment to cope, it said. “The silent hunger crisis, affecting one-sixth of all of humanity, poses a serious risk for world peace and security,” said the agency’s director general, Jacques Diouf. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.com http://www.fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/health/food/news.php?q=1245180210 June 16, 2009 Jean-Michel Cousteau explains why the common practice of farming carnivorous fish like salmon is devastating marine life, and why fish farming in general is a bad idea.   Dr. Mercola's Comments: Farmed fish is now so common, if you bought fish in the supermarket recently or ordered one in a restaurant, chances are it was born in a pen. About the only ones that don’t use farmed fish as their primary fish source are specialty fine-dining fish restaurants. But these oceanic feedlots, acres of net-covered pens tethered offshore that were once considered a wonderful solution to over-fishing, may in fact not be such a great idea after all. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.com http://www.fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/health/food/news.php?q=1244830673 Posted June 12, 2009 Dillion Read and Company, Inc.  - The Aristocracy of Stock Profits 1,  WHY I WROTE THIS STORY     I made the decision to write “Dillon, Read & Co.

Most people know that. But what I didn't know - until recently - is that the right foods can and do make a life and death difference. If that's true, then why is it that healing foods barely make  an appearance in the Standard American Diet? (SAD) (Sad, yes it is!) You may have seen this video before. If so, it won't be a waste of time to watch it again. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.com http://www.fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/health/food/news.php?q=1244315898 June 6, 2009 An ad that recently ran during the American Public Media show Marketplace, sponsored by Monsanto, the world’s largest corporate agribusiness chemical firm, touted how Monsanto’s genetically modified (GM) seeds are going to save the world from environmental catastrophe and human hunger. The Monsanto ads are, quite simply, false. The premise of the ad is that Monsanto’s GM seeds are going to save the world from environmental catastrophe and human hunger, but the reality of Monsanto’s seeds and the company’s ethics and commitment to fighting world hunger have little to do with either. Eighty-five percent of all GM seeds are engineered for herbicide tolerance, most of these being Monsanto’s “Roundup Ready” cotton, corn, soy, and canola seeds. This allows plants to withstand significant amounts of pesticides being sprayed on it, in effect promoting pesticide use. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.com http://www.fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/health/food/news.php?q=1244219154 Country of origin no guarantee on cheap imports SULTAN -- Seven cars with darkened windows barreled east toward the Cascades, whizzing past this Snohomish County hamlet's smattering of shops and eateries.
