Protect Yourself From Your Own "Shitty Deal" And Sign Up For Free Updates From The Environmental Working Group
We're having a three for one special on shitty deals today - Goldman Sachs, Chinese communists and now the Environment Working Group. Some years ago a reader turned me onto the Environmental Working Group. Since then the founder has achieved significant national notoriety and has been on Dr. Sanjay Gupta's show. Gupta is one of my favorite national journalists as a genuine personality interested in the public good.
Just as I generally try to keep poison out of my brain by not listening to politicians, Wall Street and the mainstream media, I'm generally not big on sticking things in my mouth or in my person that might cause cancer or other serious illnesses. That includes genetically-modified foods, highly processed foods, home cleaning chemicals, highly processed soaps, aluminum-based anti-perspirants, pesticide-ridden food, etc.
I believe the EWG works almost exclusively off of donations and provides tremendous information on foods and products that are potentially toxic or harmful. This week they are focusing on the ingredients in sunscreen which are more than likely more dangerous than the sun they are trying to protect us against.
To become aware is to become educated. To become educated is to become empowered. To become empowered is to become self-determined. To become self-determined is to force change. Knowledge is power. And that is the reason why the status quo wants everything to be opaque. Secret political meetings. Lobbyists operating with no transparency. Unlabeled genetically-modified foods. Bundled mortgage-backed securities. Completely confusing credit card contracts. A private banking and monetary system. Confusing cap and trade schemes. Complex and fraudulent financial products sold to our schools and pension accounts. And on and on and on. The status quo knows transparency is necessary for an educated and self-determined society. And that an educated and self-determined society cannot be bamboozled for it will then be a free society. Just ask communist China or Goldman Sachs. Opacity is the objective to keep us uninformed while they pillage our society.
I would highly recommend you take a look at EWG and get on their free email list.
