Get ready for the ‘War on Sugar’

“The ‘metabolic syndrome’ maladies associated with insulin resistance and obesity – many authorities now just use the term ‘diabesity’ – are expected soon to overtake tobacco as the leading cause of heart disease in the world. And perhaps of cancer, too.   Farmer Mike Small has high hopes for the campaign for a Scottish tax on sugar-sweetened beverages: he and his sustainable food campaign, the Fife Diet, will launch a new manifesto for it in September. Forms of sugar-sweetened beverage tax have already started in Denmark, France, Finland and Hungary. Scotland, Small says, is in the mood to follow.”

Healthy girl confiscated from parents who smoked pot, given to murderous foster mother

Healthy girl confiscated from parents who smoked pot, given to murderous foster mother

“A little girl was confiscated from her loving parents because they smoked marijuana, and given away to a foster mother who put her into a coma and killed her. Alexandria Hill, age 2, succumbed to her injuries after being ‘thrown to the ground.’  ‘We never hurt our daughter. She was never sick, she was never in the hospital, and she never had any issues until she went into state care,’ said Joshua Hill, the girl’s natural father.  Hill says that his daughter was put in to more than one dangerous foster home.”

Father of foster child who died after being seized by state over marijuana speaks out

“Alex was living with foster parents after DFPS removed her from her parents’ home last November for ‘neglectful supervision.’ Hill admits they were smoking pot when their daughter was asleep. ‘We never hurt our daughter. She was never sick, she was never in the hospital, and she never had any issues until she went into state care.’ For two months, Alex was placed in a home that Hill says was dangerous. ‘She would come to visitation with bruises on her, and mold and mildew in her bag. It got to a point where I actually told CPS that they would have to have me arrested because I wouldn’t let her go back.'”

Texas jailer must face trial after video caught him raping 15-year-old

“A federal judge ruled this week that a trial against a Texas jailer can go forward after video caught him allegedly raping a 15-year-old female inmate. In a suit filed late last year, Michelle and Danny Hall accused former Harris County correctional officer Robert Robinson of raping their daughter, M.S.H., during her two month stay at Houston’s Harris County Juvenile Justice Center. The suit accuses Robinson of ‘grooming’ the girl with food and candy, before the encounters ‘quickly escalated with quid pro quo requests that exchanged gifts for genital fondling and touching.'”

California: Treatment and fraud

couch1

“CNN has a pretty powerful investigative series on California’s dysfunctional treatment system. Over $185 million per year of state and federal money goes into California’s drug rehab counseling program, much of it lining the pockets of unscrupulous clinics who pay people $5 to sign in (or simply invent clients). While each state has a different system, the fraud and abuse in treatment is a national problem as the treatment industry has become a hugely lucrative business, with lots of taxpayer money to tap and tons of ‘addicts’ who are required to go through treatment because of their involvement in the criminal justice system.”

Chickenpox (Varicella) Vaccine: This Is Why a Shingles Epidemic is Bolting Straight at the U.S.

google-search-header2

“Shingles can be prevented by ordinary contact, such as receiving a hug from a grandchild who is getting or recovering from the chickenpox. But with the advent of the chickenpox vaccine, there is less chickenpox around to provide that natural immune boost for children AND adults. So as chickenpox rates have declined, shingles rates have begun to rise, and there is mounting evidence that an epidemic of shingles is developing in America from the mass, mandatory use of the chickenpox vaccine by all children.”

Energy drink makers tell Senate panel they’re being ‘victimized’

“Energy drinks are a small but growing segment in the non-alcoholic beverage industry in the United States, but health experts have expressed concern that their caffeine content poses risks in youngsters as heart arrhythmia and higher blood pressure. Last month, the American Medical Association called for a ban on the marketing of energy drinks to children and teenagers, said Senator Jay Rockefeller at the start of the hearing. He stated that in the first six months of this year, poison control centers in the United States received about 1,500 reports involving energy drinks, ‘more than half of which involved children under the age of 18.'”

Disturbing Video Shows Court Officer Sexually Assaulting, Then Arresting Mother, Judge Does Nothing

Disturbing Video Shows Court Officer Sexually Assaulting, Then Arresting Mother, Judge Does Nothing

“The initial events took place in 2011, when Monica Contreras was led from the court into a waiting room for a supposed, though unexplained, drug search. She then says a court marshal named Ron Fox touched her and ordered her to lift up her shirt. When she fled back into the courtroom and complained to the hearing master, asking at least for a female marshal, Fox had her arrested for ‘making false accusations against a police officer.'”

John Whitehead: Turning public schools into forts

“As surveillance cameras, metal detectors, police patrols, zero-tolerance policies, lockdowns, drug-sniffing dogs and strip searches become the norm in elementary, middle and high schools across the nation, America is on a fast track to raising up an Orwellian generation — one populated by compliant citizens accustomed to living in a police state and who march in lockstep to the dictates of the government. With every school police raid and overzealous punishment that is carried out in the name of school safety, the lesson being imparted is that Americans — especially young people — have no rights at all against the state or the police.”

Teenaged entrepreneur denounces business-limiting French laws in Quebec

Teenaged entrepreneur denounces business-limiting French laws in Quebec

“17-year-old graphic designer Xavier Menard tried to register his company but was told by the Quebec business registry that he couldn’t because the company’s name–Wellarc–is too English. ‘My first reaction was: you must be kidding,’ Menard said. The bureaucrats were serious, so the mild-mannered teenager took his anger to YouTube. In a short video Menard attacks Pauline Marois’s government, not for its desire to protect the French language, but for its ‘idiotic’ methods. In his video Menard points out Quebec’s 7.5 percent unemployment rate, which is higher than the national average, and says it is even worse for youth.”
