A study recently completed by EWG (Environmental Working Group) found alarming levels of glyphosate on breakfast cereals and other foods from companies such as General Mills and Gerber. Glyphosate is a weedkiller that is produced by Bayer-Monsanto. Many of the cereals found to have troubling levels of weedkiller on them are made by food manufacturer, General Mills. Popular cereals such as Cheerios and Honey nut Cheerios had the highest amounts of glyphosate. Over twenty oat based cereals and snack products were tested and almost all contained levels higher than EWG’s health and safety benchmark. EWG’s safety benchmark is 160 ppb (parts per billion). Anything above this number is considered to be toxic and dangerous if consumed. Honey Nut Cheerios had an astounding number of 833 ppb of glyphosate, while Nature’s Valley Granola bars contained 566 ppb level. The World Health Organization has classified glyphosate as carcinogenic to human beings. California’s Office of Environmental He...

Mounds of hotdogs. Grills chock full of steaks and burgers. Platters filled with chicken. Legs. Drumsticks. Breasts. Gizzards. Intestines and Feet too? Backyard BBQs to Vegetarians is like what summer is to polar bears. It’s just a place that they don’t want to ever be at. Why would a person who has specifically eliminated meat from their diet want to attend any event where consumption of meat is the entire point of the event? Vegans and vegetarians usually choose to go meat and dairy free for various reasons. For some it may have been awareness of the animal cruelty that goes on in the meat and dairy industries. For others, the reason might have been knowledge of the dangers of consumption of animal products. For some it’s the taste and for others it could be the smell that’s intolerable. The fact is that there are different reasons why vegans become vegans and vegetarians become vegetarians. It shouldn’t be a surprise if your vegan friend or family member is not at your next dinne...

Oxtail is one of the more popular dishes of Jamaican cuisine. It was one of my favorite dishes as a child. It is a rich, robust, meaty and flavorful dish. Not that I miss oxtail or anything (because I certainly don’t), I decided to create a vegan version of authentic Jamaican oxtail. I made it especially for the meat-eating members of my family. Yes folks, yes you can be vegan or vegetarian and still quench your Caribbean food cravings. The great positive about this vegan dish is that it takes a lot less time to cook than real oxtail because it is meatless. I paired this dish with my homemade collard greens, plantains and candied yams. A little bit of Jamaican.....A little bit of Soul food!!

Breast implants are made with a cocktail of dangerous, toxic chemicals. Plastic surgeons gloss over the risks and adverse outcomes associated with breast implants. Some women opt for saline implants thinking that they are safer than silicone implants. The truth is that both saline and silicone implants contain silicone and a slew of other toxic ingredients. Even though the saline implant is filled with sterile saltwater solution, the outer shell of saline implants contain silicone. The silicone will leak overtime with or without rupture. These are the ingredients that are typically in breast implant devices: Methyl ethyl ketone (neurotoxin), cyclohexanone (neurotoxin), isopropyl alcohol, denatured alcohol, acetone (neurotoxin), urethane, polyvinyl chloride (neurotoxin), amine, toluene (carcinogen, neurotoxin), dichloromethane (carcinogen), chloromethane, ethyl acetate (neurotoxin), silicone, sodium fluoride, lead based solder, formaldehyde, talcum powder, oakite (cleaning solvent), M...
