Been here a long time but change is inevitable. I am focused on Biodynamic Agriculture, Organic Gardening, soil health, natural living & healthy food preserves.

Backroom deals should not create a majority ! This entire issue should be investigated to determine if the quid pro quos violated HOC protocols !!

New Study: An epidemiologist who has been studying the gut for 30 years confirms that coffee has a surprising effect on the microbiota. Most of us reach for coffee to survive the alarm clock or that endless commute. A huge new microbiome study now suggests that the same cup is also feeding a very specific gut bacterium that thrives on coffee and may help explain why regular coffee drinkers tend to live longer, healthier lives. Researchers from multiple US and UK cohorts analyzed stool samples and detailed diet data from more than 22,000 people, then combined this with over 54,000 public microbiome samples. Their goal was simple to understand how coffee shapes the gut. Across these datasets, coffee stood out from more than 150 foods as the drink most strongly linked to gut composition. Algorithms could tell regular coffee drinkers from non drinkers using microbiome data alone with impressive accuracy. The signal was driven mainly by one species, Lawsonibacter asaccharolyticus, whose levels were three to eight times higher in coffee drinkers than in people who never touch the stuff. In lab experiments, the same bacterium grew up to three and a half times better when coffee was added to its culture medium. That growth boost appeared with both instant and moka coffee and with regular and decaf, which points the finger at coffee’s plant compounds rather than caffeine itself.

🪶 Six months ago I warned the inhumane butchering of 300+ ostriches was about the government asserting dominance over farmers and rural property owners. 🚨 I warned the ostriches were only the beginning of the government's territorial pissing. Turns out I was right, in spades. 👨🌾 What we are seeing in the Cowichan Valley is more proof of this agenda to eliminate individual rights & rewrite the rules on what people can & can't own, or do on their property. 🐝 If there is a bee shortage & bees are critical to crop growth, why would the government then restrict bee farms?





Campaigners demand action to break UK’s ‘addiction’ to controversial herbicide @guardian “We know that glyphosate has links to a range of cancers and other life-threatening diseases. And that it damages the environment, polluting our waters and harming wildlife” No insects. No food. No life @CIWF_Global theguardian.com/environment/20…

"Every year, I watch these fields die. What upsets me is that maize likes a loose seedbed, so the fields will likely be ploughed anyway. This begs the question: why spray as well?"
