The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has granted emergency approval for the use of the neonicotinoid pesticide dinotefuran to control brown marmorated stink bugs in seven eastern states. Dinotefuran is a member of the neonicotinoid family of systemic pesticides that is known to be highly toxic to bees and associated with Colony Collapse Disorder.

SWAT type raids with guns aimed at unarmed families on small dairy farms? Confiscation of product and equipment with no proof of contamination, and no compensation for damage and loss? Is it because these dairy farms are just covers for drug operations or weapons stockpiling? Nope. They only produce raw milk. Uh-huh, a food that humanity has been consuming for hundreds of years before pasturization. Whoa now! better bring in the guns, this is dangerous! Or…could it be dangerous to one of the mythologies that industrialized large scale food production is built on? It’s the idea that food in it’s natural state is poisonous, and we must be protected from it. What if more people started drinking raw milk and experienced the health benefits? What, then, might happen to factory style dairy operations? Hmmmm.

It’s prime growing season and we couldn’t wait to have Evan Folds of Progress Earth return to share more wisdom about how you can take charge of your health and grow your own food. So we setup a special time slot to have him back this week. The topic for this week’s show: Indoor Gardening! Let’s get some hydro going!

Evan Folds is an encyclopedia of knowledge on biodynamic indoor and outdoor gardening techniques. He returns this week for the second part of our series to get into further detail how you can grow your own food no matter where you live.

On Tuesday, June 28 at 7:00pm(MT) on Blogtalk Radio, Food Integrity Now talks with Liz Reitzig and Sally Fallon of  Farmageddon about the film released last week in Washington D.C. and this week in Los Angeles.

Food Integrity Now teams up with Evan Folds, founder of Progress Earth and writer for Maximum Yields and Urban Garden Magazine, to bring you a series on how you can grow your own food in harmony with nature no matter where you live!

GMOs are proliferating our food and chemicals are polluting our soil. Much of the food you buy in the store today is an empty shell devoid of nutrients. This lack of nutrient density provides a very short satiation of hunger and robs the body of it’s necessary nutrition. It is now more important than ever to know how to grow your own food. Designing your garden in alignment with nature increases yields and provides you and your family with a reliable source of nutrient dense food.

According to an Associated Press story, the Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday that some chicken meat may contain small amounts of arsenic, though the agency is stressing that the amount is too tiny to be dangerous to people who eat it.

Do you believe the assurances by the EPA that the radiation from Fukushima is too diluted to harm our health? After all, we can’t see it, smell it, taste it, or feel it. There’s probably nothing to worry about, right? But Leuren Moret, a geoscientist who has been working to educate about the consequences of nuclear technologies, knows better. Her experience working at a nuclear weapons laboratory, and her research on the health impacts of nuclear facilities, gives her a thorough understanding of the ramifications.

Most Americans remain blissfully unaware (or don’t care) they are eating genetically-modified (GM) organisms every day. Passivity and blind faith in the USDA, FDA and EPA have largely contributed to this attitude. Perhaps that will change now that a GMO Study reveals an insecticide produced in GM corn actually gets absorbed into the human body.
