No Happy Cows - December 1st

So now that I have finished the book, I can safely say that I knew most of the information and facts inside the book. I have a bit of education pertaining to the corruption in the food industry. I know that the food industry has only profits in mind, not the health of the people they are feeding.

The chapter about the soy products was interesting, I knew that it was heavily GMO'd, but I did not know that 97% of the world soy crop was GMO'd. Thats a lot of soy...

Overall good book, with good information in it. I would recommend the book to anyone wishing to know more about what is in their meat. For anyone that is thinking about kicking the habit of eating meat. For whatever reason. May it be buycotting or boycotting.

Political Cartoon - December 1st

This political cartoon is relevant to the upcoming 2015 election. The liberals which as it looks now, are the main opposition, at least as the media is portraying it. The liberals are going to take the polarizing view on many of the issues that the conservatives have. This is a strategy to take the voters that also polarize against the conservative party.

This is relevant because america just refused to build the keystone pipeline. Which is cool because I believe the environment needs to come first. This comic is funny because we all know that peace in the middle east is far from becoming a reality.

No Happy Cows - November 17th 2014

This is an interesting read especially for those considering giving up meat or dairy in the future. I am already a vegan, I've been off dairy and meat for some time now. I know a lot of the stuff that I am reading such as the amounts of antibiotics that they are injecting into the cows which in turn ends up in our meat and dairy. The people of the world are consuming these products and then acting surprised when they get sick from all the chemicals found in our food. I find it alarming that the companies that are raising the cows in this way are and have got away with this for so long. Then again, the book talks about how the companies are using the vast quantities of dollars to suppress legislation to make the companies more accountable for their actions.

Steven Harper told Vladmir Putin to get out of Ukraine to which Putin replied "We're not in Ukraine". Bit of a showdown going on between the two political leaders. I am interested to see what the next development in this story will be.

The right to petition the Canadian government through the Office of Commissioner of Environment and Sustainable development

It seems that there has been a large amount of people form different geographic locations that have petitioned against Harpers initiatives pertaining to the environment. While the right is there, the amount of attention payed to the people doing the petitioning is low. There seems to be an issue with the "group" that is petitioning. Since the people aren't petitioning "together" there is not much of an impact being made.
