Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack Gone Wild?

Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack recently made some controversial statements to the National Restaurant Association regarding what Americans currently eat and what they should be eating.  This comes of no surprise when considering all the recent media attention to the current administration’s push for what they consider healthier foods and a healthier lifestyle. Now, you might be asking why a health blogger would be frustrated over a push for healthier foods… That will be explained below, but first, get an idea of what Vilsack was speaking about at the conference through Youtube: [Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack speaking on what Americans eat] Recent media attention to this conference includes few, but respectable sources concerned about rights: USDA Secretary on What Americans Should Eat Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack Speaks to National Restaurant Association Why people are frustrated with Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack: There are many reasons a health blogger and many others are frustrated about this situation. First of all, even though I appreciate the importance of health, and actually because of it, I understand that healthy choices and a healthy lifestyle will only be maintained when the respective individuals choose to do it themselves. Forced health does not work, and there’s plenty of evidence [...]

Are Compulsory Vaccination and Immunization Constitutional?

Today, I want to try and talk about compulsory vaccination and compulsory immunization. I want to mention the compulsory vaccination pros and cons, but more-so focus on whether the subject is constitutional or not.  I won’t be talking about the effectiveness of vaccines as much as I will the rights issue. The problem here is that there is research showing that vaccines work and research showing vaccines can cause problems, even if they’re not related to the protectiveness of the vaccine. Also, I think deciding whether vaccines are safe or not is more of a personal issue. What I will be talking about is whether compulsory vaccination is right or not in our system. I think compulsory immunization is more of a public issue than it is personal because it affects all of us, which to me, makes it more important to discuss in this format. For issues regarding the healthiness of vaccines, I would do the research and consult a certified medical professional that you trust. Onto the Constitutionality of this issue.  [Doctor Ron Paul discusses the legality of Compulsory Immunization] Vaccines have a shady history as far as I’m concerned in the way research is conducted and laws [...]

The FDA and Fluoride, Is that Fluoride being Added to the Water?

Today, I want to talk about the FDA and fluoride. I want to touch on the subject of rights, and whether or not there is fluoride being added to the water, and what the situation is with fluoride and the brain/body.  The topic of water fluoridation is growing more and more popular with law suits and court cases popping up all over the place. These cases are all based around two questions, is fluoride bad for you, and if so, why is it in our water? In-fact, many of these cases are claiming to already have the answer to the first question and are angered over the lack of attention and care they are receiving. These are justified questions that are within the rights of every citizen to ask of their local Governments.     [Is Fluoride bad for you? This is a question that requires much research and in the end, a decision by the respective individual.] Is Fluoride added to water and what is the situation with the FDA and fluoride? Fluoride is indeed being added to the public water supply around the United States of America and its purpose is to prevent against tooth decay. The US Center [...]

FDA Draft Guidance for Industry, Banning supplements?

As always, I attempt to search out any health freedom related issues and always report them as without our freedoms, we have no basis for pursing the improvement of our health and our lives. Today, I want to talk about something that is getting little to no media attention, the FDA Draft Guidance for Industry. I’d also like to point out that Dr. Mercola of www.mercola.com has pioneered the research and announcement of this FDA mandate and I would like to thank him for that. Here is the original article as produced on mercola.com: FDA Set to Ban Supplements? And here is the Mercola video that is sparking the rise in attention around this issue: Mercola Draft Guidance video What does this proposed mandate actually do? This mandate is putting excessive regulation on businesses that are already strained with an overload of Government regulation and stress because of a slowing economy and a slow recovery from the previous and current “recession”. A mandate like the aforementioned tends to act with regulation in claim to be in defense of consumer safety, when in fact, the consumers believe they are intelligent enough to make their own choices and let business run as business does.

The Henry Cavill Immortals Workout

Soon enough, the new celebrity workout craze that will arise will be around the Henry Cavill Immortals workout. Why, you ask? Henry Cavill will be playing the main role in the upcoming film, The Immortals. The Immortals is set to release on the 11th of November of 2011, and has a couple of the producers from the action-packed hit film, 300 (you remember how crazy the fitness fans were then, right?) Henry Cavill has acted in movies before and will not only be playing the main role in this movie, but he could also be the next Clark Kent in the next Superman film. Not surprisingly, the Henry Cavill Superman workout was said to be quite similar to the Henry Cavill Immortals workout. What you will find below is the official trailer for the movie, The Immortals, and also the culmination of the research I did on the Henry Cavill workout. This movie looks great and I definitely recommend seeing it, as I will! Henry Cavill hasn’t been too specific about his workouts, and trust me, I researched it. But from what I could understand, Cavill was working with 300 producers, and the movie seems quite similar and it seems [...]
