The Chinese people are meat lovers. Livestock production in land-limited Hong Kong, however, is not as lucrative a trade as it once was. The Government is actually encouraging pig farmers to give up their business licences because their trade is considered a severe cause of environmental pollution. Many farmers are giving up because of increasing cost and diminishing profit in the farming business. Farmers have to shoulder the cost of purifying their animal run off. It can run up the cost of production.
In this documentary (link below), produced by Hong Kong Television, we meet an innovative pig farmer who has returned to his hometown in Mainland China to practice integrative or biodynamic farming. This farming system combines animals husbandry and vegetable farming to create a dynamic recycling of waste and resources. Pig dung becomes fish food as well as fertilizer to grow water plants that, in turn, feed the pigs. Fish is also used to feed people and the pigs. He used these pig run off to create methane gas to generate electricity. He was able to reduced his monthly energy expenditure from 10,000 Ren to a few hundred Ren (Chinese dollars.)
This kind of framing is beginning to catch the attention of innovative farmers in the United States as well. (See my previous post on “The Future of Farming.” ) There is hope. We need to convince ourselves and out friends to support this life giving way of producing foods, the ways our ancestors had been practicing before “industrialized farming” took over and created the mess we are in now. We have to do it for our children. The higher cost of healthier foods will be off set by lower medical bills and less illness, which is well worth it. I believe in the long run, this kind of farming actually will produce less expensive food as well.

A mysterious event caused many bee colonies to disappear in America. speculations abound, amont them cell phone interference and GMO pollen toxicity. I was discussing this topic with my 17-year-old daughter, she was outraged and muttered something like, “Let’s take down all the cell phone towers…” then she suddenly stopped mid-sentence after she became aware what it might mean for her access to the use of her cell phone. I just shake my head, when it comes to living and holding up to principles of righteousness vs. self interest. Self-interest will probably come up ahead. It is “taking care of number 1″ before anything.
How many of us will seriously consider all the ramifications in terms of overall benefits to all concern, I mean, will there be more harm than good to all living things, before we decide on our actions, a career, a project? I am sure no one would think that working for a certain industry will cause alot of harm to many peoples or even nations or the environment, or other living creatures. All we have in mind would probably be “How much money will I make?” “How famous will I become?” ” How powerful will I be?” It is so easy to overlook long-term harm for short-term gain. This is our basic nature: self interest. I also know that all of us can learn to see the importance in preserving our future with immediate change in our current distructive behaviors. Let’s stop and think what we can do individually now before all the bees are gone.
Albert Einstein said, “If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.”
Just think if Albert Einstein would think about all that before he revealed his theory of Relativity that eventually let to the development of the atom bomb. Just imagine we all can chose and do that right thing. I think we can.
Zelnorm is causing 10 times more cardiovascular events then placebo in the recent findings of an internal study conducted by Novatis, maker of the drug. It is no longer allowed to be marketed openly. “The FDA concluded that, for most patients, the benefits of Zelnorm no longer outweigh the risks.” The agency is working with Novaris to allow the drug to be prescribed for people with no other treatment option.
There are indeed many choices to deal with irritable bowel syndrom naturally. Check for food allergies, emotional stressors, and nutritional deficiency are good start. Why risk a heart attack when there are safe options to resolve functional gastrointestinal upset.
