Oreo, Cadbury and Toblerone are already funding the Israeli biotech producing it because a lab is cheaper than a farm”“Cadbury has been quietly replacing your chocolate — This dairy milk isn't legal chocolate in 27 countries, the cocoa butter was replaced with vegetable fat, a cheap blend of 6 industrial oils.

Health officials have confirmed 12 cases of rat lungworm disease in the continental United States since January 2011 — including six patients who had not traveled abroad but still contracted the illness caused by a parasite endemic to tropical regions in Asia and Hawaii. [...snip...] The disease is also known as angiostrongyliasis, after the parasitic roundworm Angiostrongylus cantonensis whose larvae hatch in the lungs of rats and then are expelled in the rodents’ excrement. At that point, the larvae can be picked up by snails and slugs, and then passed along to humans if the snails and slugs are eaten...

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced a new initiative on Mar. 5, 2026, to encourage medical schools to expand their nutrition education programs in the upcoming fall as part of an agreement with the Trump administration. Secretary Kennedy and Education Secretary Linda McMahon reached the agreement as part of the Trump administration’s “Make America Healthy Again” initiative. Prior to the agreement, Secretary Kennedy spent months urging schools to expand their nutrition education programs, arguing that doctors are not well-versed in nutrition, which leads health professionals to treat chronic diseases with medication rather than preventing them through patients’ diets. A...

From complete newbies that are looking to start that first potted plant, to gardeners with some acreage, to Master Gardener level and beyond, we would love to hear from you. If you have specific question about a plant/problem you are having, please remember to state the Growing Zone where you are located. This thread is a non-political respite.

VIDEOLong story short. The current price of beef is high solely because of obvious ILLEGAL price fixing by the Big Four meat processors. The Trump justice department is currently investigating this especially in the wake of the recent exposé by James O'Keefe (link below). When the price of beef lowers by this summer, as I am sure it will, we all can thank President Trump and help the GOP in the midterm elections by recording and uploading videos of "AFFORDABLE Beef BBQs." The relief of consumers over the lower prices of beef can be best illustrated this way and definitely...

On 21 November, at the end of the first shift at the Tyson Foods beef processing plant in Lexington, Nebraska, all workers were called to the lunchroom and told they no longer had jobs.. And the move didn’t seem to make sense. Tyson is one of four beef producers – along with JBS, Cargill and National Beef, known collectively as “the Big Four” – that control 85% of the industry, and their profit margins are at their highest levels in years as consumer prices soar. Tyson had just announced that its profits were up 6.5% over the previous year. Why...

A Maryland squatter posed online as a financial adviser, but was actually living off food stamps and sending her 16-year-old daughter out to work instead of school, while hiding out in a $2.3 million mansion, according to a report. Tameika Goode, 40, who recently returned to the ritzy, 7,500-square-foot home in the suburbs of Washington, DC, presented herself as a bankruptcy expert, flogging $800 courses online and sharing social media posts of her Porsche. In reality, however, she was a squatter, living on a total monthly income of $946, which included $538 in child support and $408 in food stamps,...

The O’Keefe Media Group went undercover at CattleCon in Nashville, Tennessee, and exposed how Tyson, JBS, Cargill and National Beef secretly control America’s beef market. In November, President Trump said cattle prices were falling while beef prices kept rising and launched an investigation into price manipulation. Trump directed the DOJ to investigate the meat packing companies who are driving up the prices through illicit collusion, price fixing and price manipulation. pic.twitter.com/qybOyWN2bl — Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) November 7, 2025 The O’Keefe Media Group went undercover at CattleCon and ranchers spilled the beans on how the “Big Four” control the beef...

However, he also argued that the world must embrace a future where controversial gene-edited foods are commonplace on supermarket shelves. He said we will soon be eating meat and drinking milk from animals whose evolution has been ‘sped up’ using technology. This could include cows and chickens bred to resist disease and grow faster, as gene editing techniques make them ‘more efficient’ in every way. Experts are working out how to ‘accelerate’ the selection of traits that already occur naturally within an animal, he explained. Scientists have bred cows with ‘elite genetics’ that could see tastier steaks, burgers and mince...

After 103 years of living and eating the "wrong" way according to doctors, I'm sharing the truth about food and longevity that the health industry doesn't want you to hear. In this video, I talk about my four simple foods I've eaten every single day for 40 years, why doctors said it would kill me (and why they're all dead now while I'm still here), and the real secrets to living past 100. I've outlived four doctors who told me my eggs would give me a heart attack, my red meat would give me cancer, and my raw milk would...

The cost of eggs for consumers is 34% lower than last year, according to January’s consumer price index. But for farmers, they have too many eggs selling at rock bottom prices.

On Sunday in a busy stretch of restaurants and boutiques in the West Village, hundreds of New Yorkers queued up outside a pop-up shop offering free groceries. "New Yorkers are in pain," Nick from Queens, New York, one of several people Fox News Digital interviewed outside the pop-up, said as he waited to grab pasta sauce, bath soap and a bag of Tide Pods. The scene was underscored by the city's cost of living woes and anxiety over who would get a yellow ticket granting entry to the small shop before they "sold out" of goods. As the crowd grew,...

Wendy’s is entering a pivotal transition period in 2026. The company confirmed it will shut down hundreds of underperforming restaurants across the United States as leadership attempts to stabilize declining sales, improve profitability, and reposition the brand around affordability. Executives are calling this year a rebuilding phase, signaling both operational restructuring and strategic reset. The move reflects broader pressure across the fast-food industry, where inflation, shifting consumer behavior, and intense competition are forcing chains to rethink pricing, menus, and store footprints. For investors, Wendy’s restructuring raises key questions about near-term performance, long-term growth, and whether the company can regain market...

A woke Portland, Oregon, pizza restaurant bombarded diners visiting its website with an unhinged anti-ICE rant — before bizarrely claiming that food is political. The note posted on Tastebud’s website, which has gone viral, called for the abolition of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and surfaced weeks after the deaths of anti-ICE protesters Renee Good and Alex Pretti. “Ice out everywhere,” the notice said. “Food is political. No one is illegal on stole land. F‐-- Ice. Abolish Ice.” The note then started to ramble about issues such as the Jeffrey Epstein files and transgender politics. “Release the Trump/Epstein files. Free Palestine....

WOW! On Sunday I had perhaps the BEST BBQ wings of my life. You can see them above in a big circle around my new BBQ accessory. I dry brined the wings on Saturday with a mix of kosher salt and baking powder to keep the salinity level low. I kept them on raised two wire racks in the fridge overnight. The next day I put the wings in a big bowl and added a few table spoons of olive oil. Then I thoroughly coated the wings with about a 50/50 mix of Polynesian Pineapple rub and smoked paprika. I...

Hidden Cameras Caught Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority Dumping Tons of Food

MARSHALL, Ill.—Don Guinnip is running out of time. The fifth-generation farmer still wakes early each morning to tend to roughly 1,000 acres of corn and soybeans and 40 cattle. But four decades of grueling work, a bout with prostate cancer and surgery to replace both of his hips with titanium implants have taken their toll. The 74-year-old estimates he can maintain the current workload for a couple more years. Under the gaze of generations of Guinnips in black-and-white photos, he gathers his four siblings to chart the future of their family’s farm—and contemplates a day when a Guinnip no longer...

New Yorkers are embracing a free market. Hundreds of people lined up Thursday for a chance to shop at the city’s “first free grocery store” — launched by Polymarket as it and other prediction betting platforms face increased scrutiny from state regulators. The West Village shop — an apparent nod to Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s government-run grocery store pitch — drew more than 400 New Yorkers, who lined up hours ahead of the 2 p.m. opening, eager to fill blue tote bags with no-cost produce, nonperishables and toiletries. “Times are hard. Things are very expensive, so this helps,” said Forest Hills...

A planned collaboration between late night host Jimmy Fallon and powerful entertainment executive Tommy Mottola to launch a branded line of pasta sauces is now kaput as the entertainment mogul’s name is being discovered all over the Epstein Files, exposing his close relationship with the late financier and convicted sex offender and trafficker.
