Dear Kimberly-Ann,

Protect His Food

Dolphins can’t go to the grocery store when they are hungry. They can’t order take out or reheat leftovers. Dolphins, seals, whales, and many marine animals rely on the bounty of the oceans for their food. But because of the pressures of commercial fishing, there’s less food, like squid, for them to eat.

This year’s market squid fishing season has already been shut down because fishermen hit catch limits early but there’s pressure to reopen the season and fish out even more of these vitally important animals from our California waters.

There is a meeting of the California Fish and Game Commissioners this week and we need to send a strong message: keep our waters full of food for dolphins and other marine animals – take action TODAY »

Market squid are a forage, or prey, species and play a critically important role in the California marine ecosystem. Whales, seals, dolphins, and fish all feed on squid – and they provide thousands of jobs to our coastal communities. But even though catch limits for this year’s season were set too high, fishermen hit their quotas early and the season was closed.

When making decisions about how much and what type of animals to fish for, it is vital to consider the entire ecosystem and how different species relate to each other. Currently, there’s no consistent state policy for managing market squid and other forage fish species. So even though the California squid season has been closed early, to the benefit of our oceans and future fishermen, there’s pressure to reopen the fishery and remove even more squid from our waters.

We can’t let excessive commercial fishing take too much food away from dolphins and other marine animals. Speak up by MIDNIGHT, for the future of California’s waters »

For the oceans,

8 Dangers of Diet Soda

While artificial sweeteners may be a zero calorie alternative to sugar, they are in no way healthier. Diet sodas may use a variety of artificial sweeteners in place of sugar, including aspartame, which acts as a neurotoxin.

Also known NutraSweet, aspartame originally received FDA approval for use in carbonated beverages in1983, and it still remains the most commonly used sweetener in diet soda. Annually, reactions to aspartame result for a majority of the adverse reaction reports made to the food and drug administration.

Medical experts warn of unhealthy buzz touting energy drinks

Rockstar promises a better party. SoBe’s Adrenaline Rush promises, well, a rush. Other drinks boast superhuman vigor with names such as Killer Buzz, Full Throttle or Rip It. Red Bull says “it gives you wings.”

Not only do such drinks fail to offer a special boost, they say, their high caffeine and sugar content causes dehydration and could be dangerous for the young and active.

Peanut Butter – Is It Healthy? Is It Good To Eat Regularly? Organic vs. Not Organic

The truth is that soy could even be killing you and your family, and you may not even know it. Do you know what is in soy and soy protein? Did you know that if you are experiencing unusual weight gain, bloating and / or nausea, it could all be eliminated just by removing soy products from your diet?

Today's families are consuming soy and soy products much, much more than we ever were, all throughout history. Is it just a coincidence then, that today’s families are also seeing many more cases of obesity, thyroid problems, osteoporosis, cancer and many more diseases than our ancestors?
