Surgeon General Calls for Stop in Administration of Covid Vaccines

Image
The Florida Surgeon General has spoken out recently about the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.  Gen. Dr. Joseph Ladapo has expressed sincere disapproval of mRNA Covid-19 vaccines and believes administration of the vaccines must be stopped.  Gen. Dr. Ladapo voiced his concerns about the discovery of billions of DNA fragments found in each dosage of the vaccine.  DNA fragments are ingredients in the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines that are transcribed into RNA fragments which is ultimately responsible for inducing production of the SARS-Cov-2 spike protein.   Each vaccine shot contains approximately 200 billion pieces of plasmid DNA fragments (Buckhaults, 2023).   There are serious concerns that the DNA fragments are behind deadly side effects.  These side effects range from cardiac arrest to cancer as well as death.   Dr. Philip Buckhaults, professor of cancer molecular genetics at the University of South Carolina believes that these DNA fragment...

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. ...

The Science is Very Clear On which Diet is Better for the Environment

Image
There’s no question that the meat production industry has an extremely negative impact on the health of our planet.  Research has proven that one’s carbon footprint can be reduced by as much as 73% (Poore & Nemecek, 2018). Green Lifestyle Organization’s Beef and Meat Free Environmental Initiative was created with this knowledge in mind.  Not only are meat and animal emissions effecting the environment in a harmful way, there are also many health risks associated with excessive meat and animal consumption.   Fad diets such as the keto diet, which incorporate heavy and excessive animal and dairy consumption are not beneficial to environment nor to the body.  Eating a keto diet raises the risk of increased LDL cholesterol levels and artery blockages as proven through research conducted by the American College of Cardiology.

The New Beyond Steak: Green News Guide Reviews

Image
The new meatless steak by Beyond Meat is a hot item.  I can count at least two times where I intended to purchase Beyond Meat’s new meatless steak and it was completely out of stock in both stores.  I am going to give you the real deal nitty gritty about Beyond Steak.   When I first heard about Beyond Meat’s new steak and looked at a picture of the package, I thought, “hmmmm….will this be similar to the taste of Gardein’s beefless tips?" They do look kind of similar to each other.  Even though I have used Gardein’s beefless steak in various recipes, I’m not sold out about the taste.  That product has somewhat of a cardboard taste (not gonna lie)!  When I finally got my hands on Beyond Meat’s Steak courtesy of Amazon Fresh, I instantly thought about the recipe that I would use it for.  I decided to do a seared mixup with some peppers and onions on top a bed of fluffy rice.  I was pleasantly surprised at how great Beyond Steak tastes as well as...
