Human Superiority? Documentary- A Must See :)

I was completely blown away by the elephant painting! I am watching this movie right now, and it's really good so far- watch it with me! xoxo Lyn Ps. Sorry I have been absent! Sometimes life gets interesting... :)

A River of Waste: The Hazardous Truth About Factory Farms: Watch Full Documentary:

"This documentary looks at the potential hazards caused by factory farms in the United States, particularly by waste disposal.

Beginning with a history of the American food system, River of Waste shows its evolution to large-scale corporate farms where pollution and use of growth hormones threaten both individual health and the future of our planet.

A River of Waste exposes a huge health and environmental scandal in our modern industrial system of meat and poultry production.

Some scientists have gone so far as to call the condemned current factory farm practices as mini Chernobyls. In the U.S. and elsewhere, the meat and poultry industry is dominated by dangerous uses of arsenic, antibiotics, growth hormones and by the dumping of massive amounts of sewage in fragile waterways and environments.

The film documents the vast catastrophic impact on the environment and public health as well as focuses on the individual lives damaged and destroyed."
Taken from Top Documentary Films

Astounding, and I am surprised that more people don't ever think about this critical issue. Very good film.

Meat The Truth Documentary (Watch Full Movie):

Hello my lovelies! I found another documentary for you, but I didn't watch it because I just cant bring myself to see any more animals suffering. So obviously I can't really comment on or review the film, but I'm sure it's filled with good information, and maybe this is the one that will affect someone you are close to who you think would benefit from it :)

The movie is called Meat The Truth, and I have heard good things about it so see for yourself if you like, and comment below.

I hope you are having a fabulous day! I, myself, am kind of living through something interesting right now.. As I write this men are jack-hammering and doing full-on demolition right below me where they are starting to build what rumours say is a... Starbucks. Good lord. Like the world needs another Starbucks. They kill off small businesses and seem to be on every corner. I have earphones on right now with a meditation with birds in the background, but it sounds like they are being murdered by machine guns...

So James, Josh and I have decided to move. I have always said that when things are made difficult, it's a sign that we are supposed to move on to something else. So come May 1st that is exactly what we will be doing. But for two months we will have to suffer through this insanity.

Our landlord is a very sweet man, vegetarian actually, and I know he means well. Business is business. But it doesn't change the fact that we have to live through this. Because they ripped out the ceiling, wall and floors down there, it sound like everyone is in our apartment when they talk. 

We have lived here for 5 years, and called it home in the heart of Little Italy in Toronto. Known for its small cafes, charming restaurants and family owned gelato bars, it has been a most pleasant place to live. We will miss it here, but life is full of change, so I am sure we will end up where we are supposed to be :)


Ok, I will sign off for now, but I have some exciting news coming up, so stay tuned!

Ps. Please ignore all random underlined words that appear as links on my site right now throughout the posts, because I have been compromised by something that is plaguing the internet right over the last short while... TEXT ENHANCE! I hate it and have no idea how to get rid of it. When I erase the html it just reappears, so it's really bizarre. I have heard that a class action suit is forming to sue the owners of this horrible back-door virus-like thing. Anyway, sorry. I am not trying to sell you anything from Text Enhance :)

Water Has Memory: New Discoveries:

Hi guys! Here is a little video I came across about how water has memory. The discoveries are more complicated and detailed than this, but you can watch another really amazing full documentary called Water: The Great Mystery by clicking this link :)

I hope you are all doing well and that you have access to clean, pure water wherever you are in the world. It's something we quite often take for granted, but especially now with all of this new research being done, we must remember to be grateful for this remarkable substance that makes up most of our bodies.

Follow the Money: Big Pharma, Meat, Dairy and Junk Food Industries:

How do you feel about what you eat? Do you feel guilt after a meal or snack, or are you smiling, knowing for certain that you have done something wonderful for your body?

Let's not be a silent witness to our own health. How do we take back our vitality? Become educated, and follow the money for a while to see what's really going on...

Pharmaceutical companies, Meat, Dairy and Junk Food Industries around the world have embedded themselves into the Nutrition and Health Sciences, funding them with great amounts of money in order to have a strong influence in the following areas: 

1. The Pharmaceutical Industry approaches doctors, giving them samples of the latest drugs, and making deals to have them promote it to patients. They provide posters and pamphlets to put up in the doctor's offices, and since we are all supposed to trust our doctors, we believe that money could never be involved in our health. 






2. Big Pharma, Meat, Dairy and Junk Food Industries fund scientific studies in universities and other institutions specifically designed, (or edited), to make their products appear as safe answers to our problems. Brave whistle blowers have come forward over the years, risking their entire careers to tell the truth about how they were told to change results, and got sued as a result. People are afraid, so they just do what they are told, and truths remain hidden.

3. Big Pharma, Meat, Dairy and Junk Food Industries infiltrate governments with what is termed a revolving door hiring policy:
"The revolving door is the movement of personnel between roles as legislators and regulators and the industries affected by the legislation and regulation within lobbying companies... Political analysts claim that an unhealthy relationship can develop between the private sector and government, based on the granting of reciprocated privileges to the detriment of the nation, and can lead to regulatory capture." (Wikipedia definition).
In other words, the people making the decisions are the same people who would be most monetarily benefited by the decisions. 

4. School-aged children have been a key target within their classrooms and cafeterias where we will find campaigns for distribution of milk and educating about the health benefits of meat and dairy in health classes (like I was). Here is the latest milk study from Harvard that declares dairy no longer a healthy part of our diet. Coke and Pepsi Machines are given to the schools by those corporations in order to get them hooked while they are young.

We have been lied to about what a healthy meal is. Large Pharmaceutical companies want us to remain sick, the food industry wants us to remain sick, and I will be so bold to say that the Cancer Societies of the world want us to remain sick, because IT MEANS MONEY. BIG MONEY $$$. If people really understood (and were taught from the beginning), that eating fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds kept them leaps and bounds more healthy than the current food pyramid, or drugs and supplements ever could, they would be out of business because they can't patent whole foods (yet).  Here is an article I wrote on the Cancer and Disease Industry $$$.



Billions of dollars are raised every year for the Cancer Societies, and I have said this before, but would you, as a corporation, give up a cash cow as big as that to tell people the truth? NO WAY. But countless people are PROVING mainstream health and nutrition wrong, by reversing their diseases, pains, obesity and depression, simply by cutting out meat, dairy and animal bi-products, and adopting whole food, plant-based diets (which are not fad diets, they are lifestyle changes). The video above is the trailer for the film Forks Over Knives, which should be shown in every single school around the world, especially medical campuses.

Many of the most brilliant thinkers of this world have claimed radical, deep transformation of thought, consciousness and health, by cutting out animal flesh. We are trained to 

CONFORM! CONFORM! CONFORM!... 

I SAY, DON'T.

Think for yourself, and be curious enough to explore different, alternative options, such as the Vegan lifestyle, that just might surprise and transform you. Only YOU will feel the difference, and then you will have the truth. 

Below is a documentary I really love, and I watch it whenever I am feeling down, or like I don't know what I'm doing with my life. It's called Anima, and I hope you like it too!


(There is swearing in this documentary, just to warn you, but I feel it's DEFINITELY worth watching).

Raw Chocolate Turtles!! Best Treat Ever!

Hello my lovelies! Just a quick update on my Raw Vegan Adventure, and an easy Raw recipe for Raw Vegan Chocolate Turtles!


With gratitude,

Dear Future...

Dear future,

How's it going? Here in the present things are a little messed up. Half of the people on this planet are staving to death, while much of the rest are dying of over-consumption. What should I do? I feel like I am so small and don't really make a difference in the bigger scheme of things.

Dear Lyn,

Every single action matters. You vote with each dollar you spend, so chose wisely because what you buy keeps alive the huge corporations that dump heavy pollutants into the environment and have no regard for life, or it supports small, family-owned businesses that have compassion and much less of a footprint. What you do determines how the future will look. I won't tell you what happens, but make sure your decisions today reflect what you would like to see later. 

If you ever want peace on Earth you will have to stop factory farming practices, which are, quite literally, hell. By not consuming animal products you are saying "I will not participate in the problem", and consciousness will evolve. 

 

 

Dear future,

Ok, I will try harder to make a difference, and be sure I know where everything I buy comes from. Hopefully that's enough to change things for the better.
