"I don't believe any of this is a coincidence at all," explains TruthStream's Melissa Dykes.

You can see, when you take a step back, how coordinated this effort really is."

Food Companies Hiding Harmful High Fructose Corn Syrup under New Name

by Amy Goodrich, Natural News:
Big Food is at it again, fooling us with false advertisements to make us buy food we don’t want to consume. Most of today’s consumers are increasingly health conscious and want to avoid products that contain health-damaging ingredients. High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is one of the substances that has made a bad name for itself.
This questionable sweetener – which is much cheaper than regular sugar, and extends the shelf life of processed products – has been linked to many health problems such as heart disease, obesity, dementia, diabetes, cancer and liver failure. For this reason, many consumers have begun to check food labels and steer away from foods containing HFCS.
But manufacturers have come up with a sneaky way to fool their customers so that they don’t have to change their money-making ways. Instead of removing this cheap, harmful ingredient, they have just changed its name on packaging to conceal it within their products.

The Beginners Guide to Hunting

by Jeremiah Johnson, Ready Nutrition:
ReadyNutrition Readers, this is kind of a sensitive subject: hunting for food. The article is designed to help those who either actively hunt and/or for those who would hunt if it was necessary to survive. Part of pioneer spirit and resourcefulness is to consider all avenues to a thing to succeed, and our forefathers certainly hunted for their food. Even though many of the colonists were farmers and ranchers, game was hunted to provide for their tables.
I do want to give you my own personal viewpoints on hunting, as simple as they are:
I do not “trophy” hunt: it’s only for meat, and only when my freezer is about emptied.
