Diary of a Misshapen Dysphemism
by Pat Darnell  |  Nov 17, 2015  |  Bryan TX


Yes, it is that bad. Mirror, mirror, everywhere, who is the pear-shaped Honkey in your glare? Emasculated by the ones who love me, cursed by a dying, incontinent, elder, and once a breeder now impotent, I am thus.

"Ring, Ring," goes the phone.

"Hello, is it really you?" says the caller, me.

"Yes, it is me, after all these years," says the other.

 "Help," say I in a moderate tone. "Am I just another victim of bad science and big business?"

If you didn't follow that one, that was me today calling me of yesterday. It's not so far fetched.

"So, what'd you eat today?" asked I past.

"Pretzels and lunch meat," respond I present, "and diet-cola."

MooPig Porn Department :: "Huff Post -- 25 Best Types Of Porn, Ranked"

Porn Driven Media Eaters
Mixed Martial Articles by Pat Darnell  |  June 1, 2014  |  Bryan TX

[Picture Source Unknown]

Huff Post tempts us with a fetching title. What ever do they mean. Well, they're right. My Online Dictionary says: "...television programs, magazine, books, etc. that are regarded as emphasizing the sensuous or sensational aspects of a nonsexual subject and stimulating a compulsive interest in their audience. For Example: 'a thrilling throwback to the golden age of disaster movies—weather porn of the highest order' ... "

That opens up lots of avenues for gaffes and giggles. Read the referenced article ...

The 25 Best Types Of Porn, Ranked: "These days, a beautiful photo of a sandwich isn't just a beautiful photo of a sandwich, and a snazzy photo of a Mercedes isn't just a snazzy photo of a Mercedes. They're porn, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. It's not quite clear when we started using the word "porn" to describe all things visually appealing. But here we are, and if you can't beat them, join them with a massive ranking of porn types, I guess? Here they are in order of greatness."

'via Blog this'

CONCLUSION
We are ravenous "porn" driven media eaters. And there is no change in sight.

MooPig 'Stuff No One Wants to Hear About' Department :: "Tell us the Truth, MothaFukkers"

Old-Age Stuff, OAS, #100
Mashed Articles by Pat Darnell  |  Feb 1, 2014  |  Bryan TX

[Picture LINK]

"Don't eat anything your grandmother wouldn't recognize as food, eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, and lean protein, he [Dr. Dwight Lundell] recommends. (DAILY MAIL REPORTER. 29 January 2014. LINK)"

Many comebacks have roots in rags to riches, fat to thin, thin to fat, broken to healed ... MooPig editors know that you, dear reader, don't want to hear all that much about Old-Age Stuff. Because we all know there is no rebound from old-age to youthfulness as yet.

Our handy Pocket Reference on Old-Age tells us that older humans are "mostly harmless." Attrition has made its claim and that is the Crux of that Bizkit.

Possibly the most difficult thing to confess is that each of us find later in life that most, if not all of our lives' have been a fraud. Unless one makes things with his own hands, and makes a living doing those things, then most of his life is otherwise moot.

That brings us to Doctors. Apparently no one is looking out for the general good health of humans. Sure, there must be some altruistic good Samaritans in the world who are also in a position of authority, but modern Internet transparency shows that most authorities are just swank morons, holding onto their power with everything that is foul and immoral. We just really need some mothafukkers to step aside and quit gumming up our bidness.

At the referenced article:

• Dr. Dwight Lundell has dished the dirt on 'what really causes heart disease' - processed foods
• He admits prescribing cholesterol-lowering medications, and a low-fat, high-simple carbohydrate diet for two-and-a-half decades was misguided
• 'These recommendations are no longer scientifically or morally defensible,' he writes in an essay that has ignited the Internet
• He claims these foods actively destroy the walls of our blood vessels by causing chronic inflammation, which in turn causes heart disease
• The cardiac surgeon recommends only eating foods your grandmother, or great-grandmother, would recognize (DAILY MAIL REPORTER. 29 January 2014. LINK)

Heart surgeon confesses that processed food is slowly killing everyone and natural food is the answer | Mail Online: "Dr. Dwight Lundell has dished the dirt on 'what really causes heart disease' and he admits prescribing cholesterol-lowering medications, and a low-fat, high-simple carbohydrate diet for two-and-a-half decades was misguided. 'These recommendations are no longer scientifically or morally defensible,' he writes in an essay, that has been posted on some 250,000 Facebook pages since it appeared on a website called Tuned Body in December."

"The discovery a few years ago that inflammation in the artery wall is the real cause of heart disease is slowly leading to a paradigm shift in how heart disease and other chronic ailments will be treated. (Dr. Dwight Lundell. Dec 8, 2013. LINK)

'via Blog this'

CONCLUSION
It is difficult to write a short-short essay on most topics concerning health and old-age. Each life is a mosaic of patterns and works that cannot be compartmentalized in a "blog post." But we try, and it usually comes with a cost: "Too Much Information," TMI.

We enjoy this article by Dr. Dwight Lundell, because of his clever way of describing the work of our human circulatory systems. In the comments of his article many dissenters harp on about how this article is not foot-noted, and it is missing publication evidence for his claims.

We don't let stuff like that stop us from being curious. We find Dr. Dwight Lundell to be humble and ahead of the curve of authoritarians of the day. So there. His health warnings might after all send us MooPigsters on a very different path, and our notice of a diet paradigm shift will improve our lives, and our quality of old-age-life will improve.

In all honesty, this is the best we at MooPig Wisdom can do concerning health and living, because to delve further would require finding primary research resources that are hidden behind pay-walls. Then we would have to solicit someone with advanced degrees to decipher those documents. Our operation is low budget, really no budget. We hope you dear reader have some input for us.

Dr. Dwight Lundell, it seems to me, has a valid point of view in that he has been cutting into human bodies and finding corroded arteries for 25 years [two and half decades]. That tells me more than a indecipherable medical paper that is hidden behind paywalls, and would take advanced degrees to read. Hands on, up in your face, advice is important.

Yes, there are skinny fat people and fat skinny people but there are few old fat people. I think I will take his "colloquial" advice to heart.

MooPig 'Stuff No One Wants to Hear About' Department :: "Fukushima UPDATE"

Everyone Needs Good Information
Matriculated articles by Pat Darnell  |  Jan 1, 2013  |  Bryan TX

[Picture LINK]

This article caught my attention. It is retrieved from Turner Radio Network, a group founded by right winger, Hal Turner who "... was Ordered by United States District Court Judge Donald Walter, to divest himself of control or ownership of all websites after his conviction at a THIRD federal trial of "Threatening" federal officials. He is not allowed to own, control or contribute content to web sites until the end of his probation in October, 2015. Hal Turner no longer has any connection whatsoever to this web site and does not contribute to its content..."

That said, this is the new mission of Turner Radio Network:

OUR MISSION
We provide the facts that the mass-media won't. We have come to a point in time where using common sense, speaking factual truths and asking honest questions is deemed radical behavior. At the same time, manipulation, thoughtlessness and dishonesty is often rewarded and rules the day. We choose to stick with the facts and the truth.

“Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” ― John Adams
"The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it."
-- George Orwell
Credibility is important to us. With this in mind, we pledge to get the facts, get them right and get them right the first time. We pledge to speak truth and let the chips fall where they may.

[Picture LINK]

--And Turner Radio Network says:

" ... EXCERPT  |  NEWS FLASH - URGENT - December 28, 2013 11:00 PM EST -- (TRN http://www.TurnerRadioNetwork.com ) -- Persons residing on the west coast of North America should IMMEDIATELY begin preparing for another possible onslaught of dangerous atmospheric radiation from the Fukushima nuclear disaster site in Japan. The Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) says radioactive steam has suddenly begun emanating from previously exploded nuclear reactor building #3 at the Fukuishima disaster site in Japan

TEPCO says they do not know why this is happening and cannot go into the building to see what's happening due to damage and lethal radiation levels in that building. Experts say this could be the beginning of a "spent fuel pool criticality (meltdown)" involving up to 89 TONS of nuclear fuel burning up into the atmosphere and heading to North America. ..."

TEPCO Quietly Admits Reactor 3 Could Be Melting Down NOW - Susanne Posel | Susanne Posel: "Turner Radio Network (TRN) has issued a report regarding Fukushima Diachi Nuclear Plant that is expected to affect the entire Northern Hemisphere. According to the report: “Persons residing on the west coast of North America should IMMEDIATELY begin preparing for another possible onslaught of dangerous atmospheric radiation from the Fukushima nuclear disaster site in Japan.”    (Susanne Posel.  Occupy Corporatism. December 30, 2013. LINK) ..."

When the physical nuclear power plants are built they are designed to be self-contained power plants, with lots of redundancy in its building parts. What they do when it is time to take the spent radioactive fuel rods out and put in new ones, is place the old rods in a pool of water to keep them cool. The spent rods go on heating for two to threes years after they are set in the spent fuel pool.

So the waste fuel rods are also self-contained in the power plant. Nuclear power plants were meant to operate for fifty years, and then be put off-line, and spent fuel to be maintained in cool climate of the pools until they could be safely removed and disposed of. Therefore nuclear power plants built in 1980's will have lived out their lives by 2030, unless they undergo catastrophic failure, as is the case in Fukushima, Japan.

[Picture LINK]





'via Blog this'

CONCLUSION
Reactor #3 has started emitting steam. The building is too damaged, and too radioactive, for humans to go in there. Without visual inspection for leaks, the cause of the steam is speculated. If the steam is coming from the spent fuel pool, it is an area in the plant less fortified than the other parts of the structure/edifice.

We hold our breath as we wait and see... we hope that this is good information for anyone seeking truth about Fukushima, Japan nuclear disaster.

MooPig Tech Coroner :: "Pacific Ocean"

Japan is – by orders of magnitude – many times worse than Chernobyl
Mashed articles by Pat Darnell | Sep 8, 2013 | Bryan TX



"... The overwhelming scientific consensus is that there is no safe level of radiation … and radiation consumed and taken into the body is much more dangerous than background radiation ... scientists tagged a bluefin tuna and found that it crossed between Japan and the West Coast three times in 600 days: All Pacific migratory fish are likely Fukushima contaminated ... It’s more than obvious that TEPCO officials have no idea what they’re doing, and the big question is why aren’t world governments jumping in to contain what’s going on? Meanwhile, the Pacific Ocean may very well be dying. (Gary Stamper. N.D. LINK)"


At the Very Least, Your Days of Eating Pacific Ocean Fish Are Over | Collapsing Into Consciousness: "It now appears that anywhere from 300 to possibly over 450 tons of contaminated water that contains radioactive iodine, cesium, and strontium-89 and 90, is flooding into the Pacific Ocean from the Fukushima Daichi site everyday. To give you an idea of how bad that actually is, Japanese experts estimate Fukushima’s fallout at 20-30 times as high as as the Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear bombings in 1945 There’s a lot you're not being told. Oh, the information is out there, but you have to dig pretty deep to find it, and you won't find it on the corporate-owned evening news."

'via Blog this'

Today I suggest we make it rain on Syria. But no ... wait ... any climate manipulation usually causes violent weather in other parts of the world. At one time I did not realize this, and suggested we use climate manipulation as a weapon against our foes in wars all over the mideast. There is some rumors that the USA manipulated climate patterns and made it pour down rain on the VC Ho Chi Min Trail during Vietnam War.

If the USA did it before then there must be some information out there about climate manipulation. For instance, there is the gnawing feeling in my gut about clandestine operations of HAARP, a military-funded project called the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP), located on remote tundra in Alaska, and other places around the world. "Conspiratorial Theories" of HAARP's purpose are all we plebeians have in this age of information. I watched Joe Rogan's Question Everything on SyFy channel, and it was described that when you focus radio waves into the earth, it can cause earthquakes.

But the only real way to know what is going on, we must observe nature -- "Environment" -- sightings of ailing wildlife warrants a declaration of an Unusual Mortality Event by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on December 20, 2011," the USGS stated.

An MSNBC article in April of 2012 reported that seals and polar bears were found to have “external maladies” that consisted of fur loss and open sores, obvious signs of radiation burns from the Fukushima meltdown, despite the conclusions of the article.  (Miguel Llanos, NBC News. April 8, 2012. LINK)

We must remain skeptical when it comes to Internet information; I know doctors always cringe when I bring some topic up from my Web surfing. But seldom has a cataclysmic event ever been witnessed by Internet users and TV viewing people of the world, as the Japanese Earthquake-Tsunami-Nuclear Disaster. Agreed? It is really happening.

And folks of every walk in life know that radiation does not "go away." It lingers for thousands of years. German Scientists have calculated the dispersion of Cs-137 in the Pacific Ocean:



Radioactive debris from Fukushima, Kyodo, will full-on cover the western shores of the North American continent by 2015. Just two years from now we will get a full dose of radiation. Evidence is all around the Pacific Ocean.

Some of us may think this Japanese Earthquake-Tsunami-Nuclear Disaster is old news, but it is only just beginning:

Researchers find high cesium in some Pacific plankton

Scientists said Tuesday they have detected radioactive cesium from the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant in plankton collected from all 10 points in the Pacific they checked, with the highest levels at around 25 degrees north latitude and 150 degrees west longitude. [...]

The researchers collected plankton at 10 points in the Pacific from off Hokkaido to Guam between January and February 2012.

They detected cesium-134 in plankton at all 10 points. The density of radioactive cesium was the highest at 8.2 to 10.5 becquerels per kilogram in samples collected from waters around 25 degrees north latitude and 150 degrees west longitude. [...]

The density of cesium in seawater was highest in waters at around latitude 36 to 40 degrees north, the team said. (May 22, 2013. enews. LINK) [...]

SUMMARY
We have questions, but information is not focused enough to come up with answers. Is Fukushima Radiation Causing the Epidemic of Dead and Starving Sea Lions In California?

SEALS ARE DYING DUE TO RADIATION FROM FUKUSHIMA: BLEEDING SORES, HAIR LOSS, DAMAGED FLIPPERS, WHY?

WHAT’S GOING ON WITH THE PACIFIC OCEAN FOOD CHAIN? Plankton, and the radiation they contain, moves right up the food chain through fish, whales, seals, etc., and when larger fish eat smaller fish.

Highest levels of Fukushima contamination in plankton already found east of Hawaii? Unlike some other compounds, radioactive cesium does not quickly sink to the sea bottom but remains dispersed in the water column, from the surface to the ocean floor. Fish can swim right through it, ingesting it through their gills, by taking in seawater or by eating organisms that have already taken it in.

CONCLUSION
" ... What is the greatest threat to humanity? We are, of course….and our technology. Like a dangerous weapon in the hands of a child, technology has overtaken our capacity to control potential consequences. Oxford University’s Future of Humanity Institute, led by director Nick Bostrom, says we have entered this new kind of technological era that we have no track record of surviving.

Our technological intelligence may have the potential for creating a better world, but so far, in areas of the economy, genetics and biologics, arms and warfare, security and surveillance, as well as the environment and energy, technology is also completely indifferent to the law of unintended consequences.

Fukushima is what happens when we have the moral responsibility of infants and the technology of adults. (Dr Caldicott. March, 2011. LINK)... "


UPDATE
Many commentators are saying it is two year old news. Which is true. These installations were built out of Vietnam War era specifications. Jesse Ventura did an expose on HAARP a while a go, and the youTube 's have all been taken down.

HAARP, or the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program, was developed by international oil companies as a high-powered way to communicate with submarines utilizing extremely low frequency (ELF) radio waves to penetrate the ocean. When the U.S. military realized its potency, it bought HAARP.

Jesse Ventura in his new TV show Conspiracy Theory investigates HAARP which is housed in a massive 35 acre, 180 tower complex in Gakona, AK. The antennas can shoot 3.6 million watts of powerful radio waves into the uppermost part of the Earth's atmosphere, heating it up and creating irregularities that cause the ionosphere to bounce the radio signals back to the ground. But many skeptical Alaskans believe that HAARP is actually a sophisticated weapons system that can destroy incoming missiles, manipulate the weather and even control human brains.

MooPig Human Rights Update :: Feeding Intolerance: Prohibitions on Sharing Food with People Experiencing Homelessness

Retrieved by Pat Darnell  |  Feb 20, 2013  |  Bryan TX

[Picture LINK]

Some proponents of food sharing restrictions have argued that sharing food with people in outdoor locations enables them to remain homeless.

More likely, persons who receive food from outdoor food programs may remain homeless due to lack of affordable housing, shelter space, and services, or due to their struggles with physical or psychiatric disabilities or substance addiction.

Instead of removing food sources, cities would more likely reduce or end homelessness in their cities by finding solutions to the underlying causes of homelessness.

Framing sharing food as a factor in enabling people to remain homeless is misleading. Food is not an addiction; food is necessary for survival.

Depriving a person of food means that she must put all of her energy into obtaining food and less energy on improving other aspects of her life. Food sharing programs that reach out to those in public spaces may be the only way some homeless individuals can obtain healthy and safe food.

Feeding Intolerance: Prohibitions on Sharing Food with People Experiencing Homelessness: A Report by The National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty and The National Coalition for the Homeless 15nov2007: "The right to food is a well-recognized human right. This basic human right is explicitly mentioned in the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights and over 120 instruments of international law.

13 Twenty-two countries have included a right to food in their domestic constitutions.

14 As the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food has stated, a nation must refrain from taking “actions that result in increasing levels of hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition.”

15 Food sharing restrictions deny homeless persons this basic human right. Placing restrictions on food sharing at a time where there is an increased need for housing and food assistance leaves many people with nowhere to turn for basic survival needs."

'via Blog this'
CONCLUSION
Make your own conclusions. As politicians try to invent lackey ways to deal with high density urban problems, like homelessness, those same politicians are diminishing your and my freedoms.

These laws to prohibit feeding the homeless on city streets come with hefty fines and prolonged visits to jail. It is personal, and in your face.

Having something to eat is a basic human right.

'via Blog this'

Do you need a Nutritionist?

Well, because the food on your menu is no longer the food of your youth, you might consider the ramifications of that stuff you are eating.

If you wake up and hear that food is becoming scarce in the world, you need a Nutritionist. If you hear that they are genetically fiddling with the foods you eat, you need Nutritionist. If your "doctor was unable to offer anything more than the standard advice on diet, ... narcotics for pain, and an anti-depressant; and these were not routes that you wanted to take ..." you need Elaine DiRico.

Here in Austin is the best one. Elaine DiRico is who you should correspond with about all your nutritional how's and why's.

" ... I have found my passion. There is nothing as satisfying as seeing someone whom you have worked with and come to care about become happier and healthier. I teach classes, I have learned to enjoy public speaking, I have met amazing people and my own health has never been better. Let’s call it a win-win ... "

I have had numerous conversations with Elaine, and she has not only coached me, but inspired me to get off my butt, and make this body of mine hum again.

Below is the reading list of Elaine's that lends her own nutritional goals.

Happy New Year!

I hope you had a great time new years eve and are ready to start off 2013 with the BEST and healthiest start possible.

But let me ask you...

Are your pants a little tight after all that festive indulging this holiday season?

If so, now's the time to get rid of those extra pounds before they start adding up.

And there's no better way to do that then by cleaning out the toxins that have been accumulating
inside your body for years - without you even knowing it.

Did you know...

That your body has been accumulating toxins and storing them in your fat cells and nervous system
for years? Add in a few weeks of holiday festivities and you've just created a "toxic cocktail" inside your body.

Yes sir.

It's a sad and scary truth.

And there's a ton of research to back this up.

For instance, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) conducted a program called the National
Human Adipose Tissue Survey (NHATS). In 1982 and again in 1987 it analyzed human fat samples from cadavers obtained throughout the country, looking for the types of toxins that accumulate in human fat.

Four industrial solvents and one dioxin were found in 100 percent of the fat samples.

NOTE: Dioxins have been shown to cause reproductive and developmental problems, damage
the immune system, interfere with hormones and also cause cancer.

Nine more chemicals, including three more dioxins and one furan (which has been shown to cause bile duct cancer in rats and liver cancer in mice) were found in more than 90 percent of the fat
samples.

In general, 83 percent of the fat samples contained PCBs (another cancer-causing agent commonly found in our world today).

WOW!

Talk about depressing right?

Well, thankfully there is good news. No matter how toxic-ally polluted your body is right now,
you CAN reverse the damage with a good internal cleaning using REAL food!

If you're feeling sluggish, under the weather, or are carrying unnecessary weight, then your
body's trying to tell you that a change is needed.

And I'm not talking about using dangerous weird laxatives or the latest Hollywood fad detox diet.

Finally, there's a solution that enables you to cleanse your body safely… with nothing more than FOOD.

That's right - real food…like some of the foods available at your grocery store each week.

Your going to eat anyways, so you might as well eat foods that will actually "fix" your health, right?

It's called the Total Wellness Cleanse and it was developed by Registered Holistic Nutritionist and
High Performance Health Coach, Yuri Elkaim.

Through his proprietary "food-powered" cleanse, he's helped thousands of men and women just like you lose fat, rid their bodies of deadly toxins, and rejuvenate their health. And there's
no better time than NOW - the beginning of January - for you to be next.

We all want to start the New Year with a bang. We all make commitments to eat better and
improve our health.

But many times these "resolutions" get flushed down the drain because we don't see results or
don't have a proper plan to follow.

At last, you have a fully-guided and easy-to-follow program that you will help you keep your health resolutions.

And right now - because it's the beginning of the new year - Yuri is giving you a $100 discount
on his Total Wellness Cleanse…

 How to REVERSE toxin damage in your body (lose fat and feel great!)

When I first heard about Yuri's approach I was a bit skeptical, because of the bad reputation that some dishonest companies have given to the word "cleanse".

But I was amazed when I started hearing about the incredible (and fast) changes his clients were
experiencing within a few days of following the program.

For example…

Kristine from San Diego lost more than a pound per day for the first week, and said the Total Wellness Cleanse was "The most life-changing decision I've ever made for myself!"

Another of his clients from Ridgebury, Connecticut - Jennifer - lost 10 pounds, inches
from her waist, and started getting comments that her skin was looking radiant.

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

Plus, Yuri's got another special BONUS for you today when you check out his site below.

MooPig Solutions Department :: "2008 Copenhagen Consensus"

Review of World's Best Solutions 2008
Retrieved by Pat Darnell | Dec 30, 2012 | Bryan TX

The Top Ten Solutions to the World's Biggest Problems - Reason.com: "Copenhagen, May 30, 2008 Ronald Bailey — " ... Where in the world can we do the most good? Supplying the micronutrients vitamin A and zinc to 80 percent of the 140 million children who lack them in developing countries is ranked as the highest priority by the expert panel at the Copenhagen Consensus 2008 Conference. The cost is $60 million per year, yielding benefits in health and cognitive development of over $1 billion."

'via Blog this'

The tasks of solving problems requires developing economies of developing countries to play leap frog. For instance, " ... proposals to reduce outdoor air pollution in developing country cities by installing technologies to cut the emissions of particulates from diesel vehicles. Other ... solutions included a tobacco tax, improved stoves to reduce indoor air pollution, and extending microfinance. ... "

The leap frog tactic would allow developing economies to start with 'state-of-the-art' technologies at the beginning of their development, thus leap frog over the existing problematic carbon spewing technologies. China could start building low emission automobiles from the start, and bypass wasteful years of making carbon cannon cars.

Those are lofty installations. In most installations of new technology, the cost is recovered over twenty to ninety years in returns on investing in the welfare of developing countries. In other words, each solution is evaluated on its initial cost, usually in billions, and its return on investment.

" ... In fact, the climate change analysis presented to the panel found that spending $800 billion until 2100 would yield just $685 billion in climate change benefits. (Ronald Bailey | May 30, 2008. HERE) ... "

Whereas, " ... [e]ight leading economists, including five Nobelists, were asked to prioritize 30 different proposed solutions to ten of the world's biggest problems... " this included problems with balanced distribution of the world's remaining resources. (ibid.)

Each solution, or opportunity, posted in the chart above could be historically a reason for war. Epidemics, migrations, trade deficits, regional catastrophe, and starvation all have caused war in our first 12,000 years of recorded history. What makes this era different? [Chart Source LINK]

Also, we still have a thousand year history of boom/bust cycles in economy. It is still going on. Japan has been in a bust cycle now for twenty-five years, although they say it is just a recession. Our USA has ceased being a developing economy, and now is in a twenty year period of "stagflation;" a term used in economics to describe a situation where an inflation rate is high, the economic growth rate slows down, and unemployment remains steadily high. (wiki)

Hopefully the developing economies can 'leap frog' over and past those hurdles we 'developed' economies now wallow in.

MooPig FWD Email :: Coach JOSH -- Holidays' Carb Watch

Today's guest article from nutritionist Josh Bezoni explores a type of carbohydrate that most people are consuming in very large quantities and don't ever think about the harmful effects on their health... As you can see from the information below, not only does this carb add excess abdominal fat to your body, but it can cause health problems that can lead to premature death. It's time we all take this seriously instead of something to joke about...

The #1 WORST Carb EVER
By Nutritionist, Josh Bezoni

And the #1 worst carb ever is…(drum roll please)

High Fructose Corn Syrup

Although high fructose corn syrup (called HFCS and “corn sugar”) may sound healthy, it actually is anything but. This dirt cheap, chemically-altered sweetener shuts down leptin, a fat-regulating hormone in your body that is responsible for sending “hunger signals” from your stomach to your brain.

Essentially leptin lets you know when you’re full. And when your brain doesn’t get the message, you keep eating and eating and eating while the manufacturers of high fructose corn syrup, and the products that contain it, keep making more and more and more money.

Here’s an example from a recent study. Test subjects were divided into two groups—one was given a glucose (sugar) beverage to add to their diet, while the other group was given a beverage containing high fructose corn syrup to add to their diets. While both test groups gained weight, the group consuming high fructose corn syrup packed on intra-abdominal fat (or belly fat).

Why is that so startling?

It’s because this particular kind of fat causes diabetes and heart disease. So, not only is high fructose corn syrup causing you to eat more than you should, it is literally putting your health at risk.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the average American consumes 42 pounds of HFCS a year. That’s more than 75,000 empty calories that have no nutritional value! What’s more, teenagers are consuming 15 to 20 teaspoons of HFCS a day when they need to be eating nutrient-dense foods for growth and lifelong health.

It’s no wonder that The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition says that HFCS use increased by 4,000% between 1970 and 1990. The manufacturers of HFCS really are cashing in big… just like drug dealers… while America is adding belly fat at a very dangerous rate.

Speaking of a drug, have you ever indulged in a sweet dessert that just wouldn’t fill you up no matter how much you ate? One of those treats that you have no self-control over, like, oh, I don’t know… maybe soft drinks, fruit juices, energy drinks, ice cream, pudding, jellies, most “fat-free” foods, chocolate, crackers, cereals, syrups, candies, or desserts? If that’s the case, you may want to check out the food label. Chances are it contains a large amount of high fructose corn syrup.

And remember, on American food labels ingredients are listed in order of the most abundant to the least. So if, for example, you see HFCS listed anywhere in the first five ingredients, that’s very bad. Instead, you’ll want to choose a version that doesn’t contain HFCS at all.

As an alternative to HFCS, I recommend the new zero- or low-calorie sweeteners like truvia™, Z-Sweet®, and Sun Crystals™ that are made with natural sources, such as erythritol and stevia. You can find these at most grocery stores. These natural sweeteners can be used instead of sugar packets in your hot beverages, on oatmeal, and even in baked goods to some extent.



Erythritol is an all-natural, zero-calorie sweetener that is fermented from sugars and found naturally in many fruits and vegetables. It has very little calories, no glycemic impact, and is only slightly sweeter than real sugar. It is also recognized as safe by the FDA.

Other sugar alcohols (such as xylitol or maltitol) frequently are blamed for side effects like gas and diarrhea when people overdo sugar-free treats. However, erythritol is absorbed before it reaches the large intestine, so it does not normally cause these digestive effects.

In the U.S., the granular form is marketed under the name Z-Sweet® and found in other natural sweeteners including Sun Crystals™ (which is a mixture of erythritol and raw cane sugar so it’s not zero-calorie) and truvia™ (which contains a mixture of erythritol and stevia).

Stevia rebaudiana is a leaf that first gained popularity in South America as a no-calorie, natural sweetener with a sweetness that is 30-45 times greater than that of table sugar. It’s been used all over the world for years as a safe, natural no-calorie sweetener.

After a long debate (which many people believe was due to the chemical sweetener industry trying to block it), it’s been approved for use in the United States. You can find stevia under the names PureVia™, SweetLeaf™, and mixed with erythritol in truvia™.

It’s important to remember that you should use all sugar alternatives, even natural ones, sparingly. Let your body learn that it doesn’t need sweets all the time to be satisfied, and you’ll be on the fast track to better health.

Now, while High Fructose Corn Syrup just may be the #1 worst carb ever, does that mean you should be avoiding ALL carbohydrates? Absolutely not! Carbs aren’t the enemy, just like fat isn’t…these nutrients are a healthy part of any wholesome fat-burning diet.

But what if you could easily increase your carbohydrate tolerance to ensure that the carbs you eat get shuttled toward muscle to be used as energy instead of deposited on your hips, thighs, butt, and love handles?

Well you can, with the most cutting-edge insulin sensitivity and blood sugar management formula ever developed, IC-5, which contains 5 very unique herbal ingredients that help to control blood sugar and insulin response to ingested carbs. And IC-5 is so simple to use… just take 2 capsules 15-minutes before any carb-containing meal and you’ll be well on your way to processing the carbs you eat...the right way.

... IC-5 LINK ...

What's more, I know many of our readers will be stocking up on the maximum number of bottles of IC-5™ today (which is 6), during this one-time special, and we're already getting close to being SOLD OUT.

Don't fall victim to packing on another 10 pounds this holiday season. Get everything you need to know about IC-5™ ...

To your success,
Coach Josh

MooPig's Brain Industry :: "Al Sears, MD"

Al Sears, MD 11903 Southern Blvd., Ste. 208 Royal Palm Beach, FL 33411

October 1, 2012

Dear Patdarnell,

Wow, the things that nutrients can do for us...

I was interested in brain health way before I ever became a doctor. I was always curious about how nutrients affected the brain.

I remember seeing the natural health pioneer Durk Pearson on The Merv Griffin Show talking about the role of three things I had never heard of and could barely pronounce at the time.

He talked about phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylethanolamine and how they come together in brain chemistry to increase the memory neurotransmitter acetylcholine.

I thought, “Wow, this guy is really on to something.” So I went and did some research and started mixing things together and I swear I think it had an immediate effect on my memory.

It convinced me then that these things like vitamins and nutrients are real, and you can feel their effect. I was 15 at the time.

In my practice today, I have found one nutrient that gives me and my patients more of a boost in brain power that anything else I ever used. And most doctors today don’t even know about. It’s called acetyl L-carnitine (ALC).

It’s an exceptional brain supplement and I’ve seen how it has restored razor sharp thinking to my patients who take it. Studies show that when you have a deficiency in mitochondria – the engines that supply your energy – and reverse that through supplying the brain with
ALC, it rebuilds the brain.¹ ALC also:

• Gives you more stamina and improves mood and memory.

• Enhances the release of dopamine from neurons and increases other beneficial brain chemicals like GABA and acetylcholine.²

• Keeps brain cells young – older animals given ALC start acting much younger because it repairs the aging hippocampus in their brains.³

When researchers started looking deeper into how ALC worked, they found it stimulates your brain to grow more neurites – the branches that are extensions of your brain cells. These let brain cells communicate with each other. And ALC does this at the same rate as your body’s own nerve growth stimulant called “nerve growth factor” (NGF).

Today, we’ve discovered why... because ALC stimulates NGF itself. It also helps keep the receptors for NGF healthy and vital.

In fact, they now use ALC as a treatment for different types of nerve injury because it completely protects neurons, the brain cells that help you retain information.⁴ ALC is the main form, but there’s also acetyl carnitine arginate. One study found that ALC arginate protected neurons from the effects of the beta-amyloid plaque found in patients with dementia and Alzheimer’s.⁵

Some formulas mix both of these, which is an excellent way to get ALC. However, look for a formula that that has only l-carnitine and not D,L-carnitine. D-carnitine is synthetic, and it interferes with the action of natural l-carnitine.

If you’re interested in boosting your mental focus, I recommend 250 mg of ALC every day.

You can get some of the same effect by taking liquid l-carnitine, and combining it with a cofactor that will give your brain more energy and help your body create acetyl l-carnitine on its own. I like vitamin B12 for this purpose. You don’t need much; only 500mcg to 1mg. And, B12 is also available in liquid form so you can take them together.

To Your Good Health,

Al Sears, MD

MooPig's Tech Coroner :: "Farmers' Demise"

5 Million Farmers Sue Monsanto for $7.7 Billion: "The practice of using renewal seeds dates back to ancient times, but Monsanto seeks to collect massive royalties and put an end to the practice. Why? Because Monsanto owns the very patent to the genetically modified seed, and is charging the farmers not only for the original crops, but the later harvests as well. Eventually, the royalties compound and many farmers begin to struggle with even keeping their farm afloat. It is for this reason that India slammed Monsanto with groundbreaking ‘biopiracy’ charges in an effort to stop Monsanto from ‘patenting life’."

'via Blog this'

“Monsanto gets paid when it sell the seeds. The law gives producers the right to multiply the seeds they buy and nowhere in the world is there a requirement to pay (again). Producers are in effect paying a private tax on production.”

It means Monsanto is trying to catch a tithe from every corn kernel grown in the world, applied to its sanctimonious halls of unscrupulous worship. It is a double tap for the giant GM seed maker ... only this time there is a blood trail on that grain that won't go away.

Back in 2008, the Daily Mail covered what is known as the ‘GM Genocide’, which is responsible for taking the lives of over 17,683 Indian farmers in 2009 alone. After finding that their harvests were failing and they started to enter economic turmoil, the farmers began ending their own lives — oftentimes drinking the very same insecticide that Monsanto provided them with. (ANDREW MALONE. 2 November 2008. HERE)

Yes, farmers offing themselves with the very insecticides that Monsanto provides! YIKES!

"Challenges loom as world population hits 7 billion » Knoxville News Sentinel"

The Only Thing on Earth more Plentifully populated is Insects
Review by Pat Darnell | Nov 6, 2011 | Bryan TX

[Picture LINK]
Challenges loom as world population hits 7 billion » Knoxville News Sentinel:

"My father had 25 children — I have only 14 so far, and expect to produce more in the future," says Kasadha, who has two wives.

"It's an opportunity to bring the issues of population, women's rights and family planning back to center stage," ... said in an interview. "There are 215 million women worldwide who need family planning and don't get it. If we can change that, and these women can take charge of their lives, we'll have a better world." (Crary, David. 16 Oct 2011.)

"... Looking ahead, the U.N. projects that the world population will reach 8 billion by 2025, 10 billion by 2083. ..." (David Crary reported from New York. Associated Press writers Alexa Oleson in Beijing, Nirmala George in New Delhi, Angela Charlton in Paris, Daniel Woolls in Madrid, Victor Simpson in Rome, Onesime Niyungeko in Bujumbura, Burundi; Yinka Ibukun in Lagos, Nigeria, and Godfrey Olukya in Kampala, Uganda, also contributed to this report. [Read Entire Article HERE])

'via Blog this'
Some say it is a time to "reassess." MooPig thinks it is time to develop a taste for insects, like delectable insect pate'.

Otherwise, as described, the situations of many people referenced in this article, there is not enough "food" to go around. That means protein is scarce.

MooPig is all about protein. We have our calf, and we have our pig... if it could be bred, it would here in Texas ... the MooPig -- half cow, half pig. Yummy! So far there is no such protein source, and its two meats are separated for genetic reason.

But if MooPig were available, like a Roman BBQ, we would be puking Veal-pork... and that's not all. We have side dishes too. But will insects become part of our digest? "A side of beetles, please."

In Post Modern world, gangs of people have little food, and share a small room for all functions, eating, sleeping, fracking, and what ever studying they might do ... cramped and stunted ... what is the point?

"Children were a good labor force in the past when there was enough space to cultivate," she said. "Today I can't even feed my family properly. My kids just spend days doing nothing." (Crary, David. 16 Oct 2011. ibid.)

That is sentiment from a Burundi wife and mother of four; " ... [A]nother of the fastest-growing countries is Burundi. With roughly 8.6 million people, it's the second most densely populated African country after neighboring Rwanda. (Crary. ibid.)..."

The majority of population in Nigeria is under 30, youthful: "... Ndyanabangi Bannet, the U.N. Population Fund's deputy representative in Nigeria, notes that 60 percent of the population is under 30 and needs to be accommodated with education, training and health care. (Crary. ibid.)..."

Nigeria is a massive country of almost 160 million people comprising 250 ethnic groups speaking 4000 dialects. In size, it is more than two and half times the size of California. Could anyone imagine a larger California with half the total USA population occupying its borders?

Further irony is that Italy is in its fourth year of zero population growth... among Italians that is:

"... [A] man uses a cane as he walks among other people through an open air market in Milan, Italy. In 2010, more Italians died than were born for the fourth consecutive year according to the national statistics agency. Italy's population nonetheless grew slightly to 60.6 million due to immigration, a highly charged issue across Europe. Italy's youth minister Giorgia Meloni said earlier this year that measures to reverse the birth rate require "millions in investment" but that the resources aren't available. (AP Photo/Luca Bruno) ... "

SUMMARY
Every Nigerian infrastructure and utility is at its limit -- power grid, potable water, food production, "... problems with traffic congestion, sanitation and water supplies are staggering; a recent article in UN-Habitat said two-thirds of the residents live in poverty.

" ... [in Mumbai] For nearly 7 million commuters who ride the overtaxed suburban rail network each work day, every ride is a scramble. Each car is jam-packed; sometimes, riders die when they lose their foothold while clinging to the doors. (Crary. ibid.) ..."

Population continues to grow in many parts of Africa, while European countries only grow in population because of immigration to their borders. Such as, " ... one reason is immigration to France by Africans with large-family traditions, but it's also due to family-friendly legislation. ..."

Incentives to reverse birth rates -- to the positive or to the negative -- remain controversial and difficult to enforce, if "enforce" is a good word to use here... "... Spain used to give parents 2,500 euros (more than $3,000) for every newborn child to encourage families to reverse the country's low birth rate. ..."

"China is always so proud of how quickly we brought down fertility from high to low, and how many births were avoided but I think we did it too quickly and reduced it to too low a level," says Gu. (Crary. ibid.) ..."

The conclusion is that low birth rates deplete the sources for supporting elderly populations. High birth rates produce mortal problems, challenging survival of the masses.

"If the young population remains uneducated, unskilled and unemployable, then that dividend would be wasted," says Shereen Jejeebhoy, a Population Council demographer in New Delhi. (Crary. ibid.) ..."

MooPig Wisdom says for starters: The modern society that develops a diet of insect protein will be the survivor of population surges. 'Nuff said.
