Nikocado Avocado Woke up 250lbs Lighter! Vegan Again?!

Image
The Mukbang king, Nikocado Avocado, broke his 7 month silence after uploading a video to his channel last night.   He first appeared in the video wearing a big Panda head mask.  Beyond that gigantic panda mask, there was something noticeably different about Nick!   There was a super thin body under the mask!  Could this be a clone of Nikocado?  Is this really the same person who would down several cheeseburgers, nuggets, stuffed tacos and huge plates of noodles in one sitting?  Nikocado is the self proclaimed mukbang king of the internet and with that title came loads of weight gain. It was a real shock to see him slimmer than what he used to be as a vegan.  At the beginning of the video, he stated how he was "two steps ahead."  He went on to say that he had been a part of one of the greatest social experiments of his entire life and likened himself to being a villain of a story where he was able to have significant influence over his followers while remaining two steps ahead

Green Festival Expo 2016 NYC

It’s Earth Day Weekend Folks!! Green Festival Expo 2016 kicked off in NYC this weekend at the LEED certified Jacob Javits Center. We attended the very first Green Festival in 2011, originally started by Green America, and we’re super proud to know that it is still live and kicking! Green Festival is the premier event for health conscious consumers and businesses alike.




It is the largest and longest running sustainability and green living event in America! The latest and greatest in ‘green’ were on display at this year’s Green Festival expo. One can appreciate the fact that green brands are being made more accessible to consumers. Green Festival has been making strides in accomplishing this mission.




The exhibit area was bustling with exhibitors showcasing their products and services. The green ambience was felt as musician and guitarist, JJ Ball Audio, greeted participants with electrifying, melodic tones near the main entrance. We can’t forget the neat plastic bag exhibit being worked on by two children near registration. It probably was the coolest and most creative artwork that we’ve seen of recent. They created a hanging wall and an enormous ball made from plastic bags. Their method: Braiding! Super sustainable and super-cool!







There were quite a few keynote speakers at this year’s Green Festival Expo. Keegan Kuhn was one of them! He is co-director of Cowspiracy—The Sustainability Secret, a documentary which explores the impact that livestock has on our planet.
Jeff Garner, founder and designer of eco fashion brand Prophetik, offered participants keen insight on how fashion can affect our health. We thoroughly enjoyed his discussion, even though we caught the tail end of it. Garner utilizes a very powerful and sustainable resource for the creation of clothing and intimates. This resource is called HEMP! The hemp plant is such a resourceful plant that has so many different uses.
During the Q&A session, one participant asked Jeff to expound on the use of bamboo within the fashion industry. There has been a significant increase in the use of bamboo by some designers because it is considered to be eco-friendly. Garner noted that even though bamboo may be seen as an eco friendly alternative, it is still on the cheaper end of the scale, with it costing about $3.00 per yard, compared to hemp fabric, which is around $10.00 per yard.
He also provided explanations centered on why individuals should be cautious of the clothing that they wear. If you aren’t aware, you should know that the fashion and retail industries utilize harmful practices when mass-producing goods.
Tons of harmful and dangerous chemicals like formaldehyde are usually involved in the production process. He disclosed to the audience that wearing man made fibers such as nylon, polyester and acetate can be detrimental to the environment and to the health of our global citizens.

Garner provided such great insight about sustainable and eco fashion.




GNG hopes to be able to see his designs in the near future. We're all here for a sustainable lingerie line.

Octavia Spencer plays Mother Earth in Apple Commercial. Keeping Apple in Check!

Image
Apple premiered their yearly Apple Event introducing the new Apple Series 9 Apple Watch and the iPhone 15 standard, plus and pro models.  During the event, a commercial was premiered featuring Octavia Spencer, Tim Cook (CEO of Apple), Lisa Jackson (VP of Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives.  This funny commercial saw Octavia present herself as “Mother Nature,” a stern yet comical corporate responsibility officer.  Before Octavia entered the scene, all the officers and workers at the meeting were shuffling around looking nervous and anxious while drinks shook on the table.   We even saw Tim Cook rehearsing the lines that he would repeat to Mother Nature when she entered.   After Mother Nature arrives, Tim Cook, asks her “how was the weather getting in?” Mother Nature then says, “the weather was however I wanted it to be!”   Mother nature reminds Mr. Cook of his promise in 2020—which is to bring Apple’s carbon footprint to zero by 2030. As the commercial ensued, the viewer learns

Leave the Sea Turtles Alone: Nine Die from Consuming Marine Turtle Meat

Image
Nine individuals passed away from consumption of endangered marine turtles in Pemba Island, Zanzibar last month.  A total of eight children and one adult died due to chelonitoxism or food poisoning from the contaminated turtle meat.  Death from chelonitoxication is thought to be a rare happening and is mostly associated with consuming marine turtles such as Green sea turtle, Hawksbill turtle, Olive Ridley and Leatherback turtles.    Consumption of sea turtles is considered a delicacy in remote places and African countries such as Tanzania and Madagascar, French Polynesia and Indo-Pacific regions.  The sea meat is usually consumed at celebratory gatherings.  The individuals who cook and consume marine turtles are unable to decipher if the meat is toxic because the marine turtles appear healthy and do not display any symptoms.  The chelonitoxins cannot be destroyed through heat or cooking.  The chelonitoxism that occurs in marine turtles are due to environmental factors which may include
