Monsanto GMO Seed Infecting all Seeds

Monsanto successfully sued a farmer for patent infringement on the basis that pollen from their genetically modified seed drifted into his field, pollenating his crop, so later when the farmer harvested and sold seed from that crop he knowingly benefited from Monsanto's patent. Nice job, Monsanto! Way to go! Contaminate this farmer's crop with your freaky seed and now you sue him? He should have sued Monsanto for contamination instead.

As it was, Monsanto won judgment against the farmer. This is wrong on so many levels it just baffles me. A better solution would be to require all modified seed to be quarantined so no natural wind drift would not occur. In other words, contain the devil seed in huge tents if you must, but keep it contained.

The court's decision in draft form: Monsanto v. Schmesier.

I don't want Monsanto in my vegetable garden but soon there may be no choice as the AP reported in Jan. 2005, Monsanto plans to purchase Seminis, a major seed supplier:

ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Agricultural biotechnology giant Monsanto Co. said Monday it will buy vegetable and fruit seed company Seminis Inc. for roughly $1 billion in cash, broadening its portfolio of seeds and tapping into the trend of healthier diets. Monsanto said it will assume an additional $400 million in debt by Seminis, the Oxnard, Calif.-based supplier of more than 3,500 seed varieties to commercial fruit and vegetable growers, dealers, distributors and wholesalers in more than 150 countries.

Better Ballet Butt by Bubbles

Here's what's cookin: You've done lunges until you think you'll die of a heart attack, yet still your rear stays flat as a pancake? What's a girl to do? Bubbles Butt Boosting Lingerie to the rescue!

Bubbles are simply stockings with an elastic band that lifts that asset, where it belongs; up, high, in the sky. It's a bird, it's a plane, no it's an as*s! And isn't it lovely? You'll have them following you down the street when you wear your Bubbles.

The downside (there's always a downside) is you need to be fairly slim (the largest size fits a 21 inch thigh) to wear Bubbles lest your backside may become somewhat lumpy, bumpy and otherwise frumpy, so if you need assistance in that regard, get The Daily Bites Free Weight Loss Tips for instruction and hints on using EFT and NLP for weight loss.

Frankly, it's their retro girl imagery that gets me. I always liked the Varga girl look, I admit it. So sue me.

Chocolate Babies - Classic Candy

I came across this supposedly classic candy selection from the 1950s, Chocolate Babies. I must have been living under a rock because I've never seen this particular item and I have spent more hours than I can count in the pursuit of all things candy.

Is this politically correct? Would you serve this to your friends and family? I found them at Hometown Favorites, Candy Store which is a great place for finding those "hard to find" items like Hershey's Raspberry flavored baking chips. To save you steps, here's a link to the page where I found chocolate babies.

While there, don't miss the Hard to Find Grocer, which is what led me there in the first place.

Dieting with Donuts

I read a recent article in a popular women's magazine that pointed out a donut isn't necessarily a bad choice for breakfast. They compared it to other choices like sausage McMuffins, and greasy potato wedges washed down with a 64 oz. soft drink. What they forgot to mention is that few people stop at one donut. In fact, who doesn't buy a dozen?

Krispy Kreme is probably going to file a Chapter 11 bankruptcy because people don't stop at one donut, they eat a dozen while driving home from work, and they finally realized they were getting to big to get in the car.

Yes, a donut is fine, once in awhile, but they aren't a good nutritional choice for breakfast.

Sugar Free Sweet Tarts?

At the supermarket, I heard one girl say to another, "Sugar free Sweet Tarts? Now, that's just wrong!" and they threw them down in disgust.

Where will this madness end? Diet candy? Sheesh.

Lose Weight with Weight Loss Patch

Lately I've had someone calling me asking about "advertising rates" on my weight loss site for their fabulous weight loss patch, and I've gotta tell you, I'm on to this scam. First, they claim to want to advertise but in reality they want you to advertise for them via an affiliate arrangement. You display their ads, and they pay you a pittance for sending them traffic.

Secondly, I have no problem with affiliate arrangements but I don't like being lied to and they have no intention of purchasing ad space so representing themselves in this manner leads me to believe they are less than honest. Then comes the weight loss patch itself. Can you spell RIP OFF?

Can You Lose Weight with a Weight Loss Patch?

Yes, if you place it over your mouth. I checked out their site and the main ingredient (I think it's the only listed ingredient) is bladderwrack, an herb. You can buy bladderwrack in bulk for pennies, make tea or put powder into capsules and take it by the boat load, but it will not help you lose weight. Sorry. No magic here. It is useful if you have a low thyroid, but not as a weight loss aid. There are lots of other herbs that would be far more beneficial, so why they chose bladderwrack is beyond me.

Next comes the biggest lie, that you can get the herb into your body via your skin. Yes, if you drink it, no if you use these silly patches. You could make a strong tea and dip in a cloth then rub your skin with the liquid and you might absorb a tiny amount of the herb, but is that going to be enough for any effect? Not likely.

Weight loss patches do not work, period. Frankly, none of the pharmaceutical drugs sold for weight loss work well at all, unless you also eat less calories than you require and exercise (always written on the label insert), but if you're already eating less and exercising more, you don't need the pills or the patch do you?

If you want a way to stop your cravings, or stop the overeating, then learn EFT for Weight Loss. It's the simplest way to get started toward the road to losing weight for good. Get started by reading some articles on weight loss, or get one of my free weight loss ebooks.
