It is the first time that the FDA has allowed any produce to be irradiated at these levels.

I found the best bug &amp;quot;spray&amp;quot; when I dumped my dishwater on my tomato plants and other garden vegetables. I could actually see the insects stand on their tippy toes and walk or quickly fly off of them! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you are under extreme water restriction only flush the toilet when necessary. There used to be this great gadget my mom bought for all of her toilets that could do a demi flush for pee. Can't find them anymore. :(&lt;/p&gt;

The secret societies are all under the Freemason order who are funding big Pharma and big corporations, including our government, the Vatican, the beef and dairy industry, and also our precious produce industry. Wake up and learn the truth before it's too late.... remember Hitler's plan? A perfect race... well, that hasn't changed at all, and now it's being handled via population control. From EMF's in cell phone towers, cell and portable phones and WiFi, to processed/packaged dead food and CHEAP fast food, chemtrails, MSG and GMO, fluoride, and chemicals in our water, corrupt vaccine (yes, AIDS, ebola and the bird flu were all created in a lab), mad cow (also created), microwave ovens (do NOT use them), global warming, HAARP (wonder why we suddenly have so many hurricanes?), terrorism (yes, Bush and his cronies knew about it before it happened, totally inside job), NWO and the one world religion, and so many more unhealthy issues that are slowly creeping into our lives. But everyone is so distracted and busy with their cell phones, their WiFi, the latest movies, latest TV shows, video games, etc., and they are getting programmed and brainwashed and don't even notice, let alone BELIEVE what's really happening... that's how subtle this whole facade is. Been going for over 50 years. Why is our country ALWAYS at war? Population control AND big money.... They even say in their documents that there should always be a war... keeps people in fear and easier to control. Terrorism is propaganda and does the same thing... plus generates money.... always about money.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Read &amp;quot;Healing Codes for the Biological Apocalypse&amp;quot; by Dr. Len Horowitz and Dr. Joseph Puleo, read &amp;quot;Blueprint for Bondage&amp;quot; by Scott McQuate, and read &amp;quot;New Paradigm&amp;quot; - free ebook download at: &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.nomorehoaxes.com/shop/download/Handbook_New_Pradigm.pdf"&gt;www.nomorehoaxes.com/.../Handbook_New_Pradigm.pdf&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wake up people, time is running out, focus on becoming part of the solution instead of focusing on the problems. &lt;/p&gt;

Folks, I recommend reading &amp;quot;Healing Codes for the Biological Apocalypse&amp;quot; by Dr. Len Horowitz and Dr. Joseph Puleo. This book is truly an eye opener if you are looking for the truth about how and who founded the US of A and what &amp;quot;their&amp;quot; ulterior motive is all about. Remember Hitler&amp;#39;s motive? A pure and perfect race. Thanks to the Freemasons and their Society of 300, and all the corporations they support, including the US, the Vatican, WHO, NWO, and yes, Codex Ali, the beef and dairy industries, and Big Pharma. Nothing has changed since Hitler&amp;#39;s day, still all about population control. Yup! Everything we are experiencing is based on population control (and of course MONEY) - including EMF&amp;#39;s in WiFi, microwaves, cell phone towers, (research the Bluebeam project), cell and portable phones, chemtrails, processed/packaged foods, GMO and MSG and ESPECIALLY pharmaceuticals (which &amp;quot;they&amp;quot; own and make a gazillion $ in profits), the oil &amp;#39;crisis&amp;#39;, air pollution, pesticides and chemicals in our water, fluoride, fast food industry, terrorism propaganda (keeps us in fear so we beg for the controls and boundaries), biochips, corrupt vaccines, AIDS and ebola (yes, they were created in a lab), 9/11 propaganda (yes, inside job and Bush knows all about it), human cloning, wars, abortion, racism, HAARP (wonder why we&amp;#39;ve had so many hurricanes at once?), banks and mortgages failing - we are &amp;#39;slaves&amp;#39; to the &amp;#39;system&amp;#39; and brainwashed and programmed to accept it - has been going on for over 50 years. Everyone is so distracted - paying bills, buying gas, taking care of kids, chat and text on cell phones, watching the latest movie or TV show, and entertainment in general.... Open your eyes and wake up people, time is running out. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Food is irradiated by exposing it to a source of ionising radiation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The ionising radiation usually is in the form of gamma rays from a source of 60Co (a radioactive isotope produced by irradiating cobalt in a reactor), or from a non-radioactive source (electron beam) generated from electricity.... &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As the radiation interacts with the food it causes changes in its biochemistry. With high doses, the radiation damages the genetic material of contaminating organisms (eg, microorganisms, insects) so that they can no longer survive or multiply... &amp;quot; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.nrl.moh.govt.nz/faq/radiationintheenvironment.asp"&gt;www.nrl.moh.govt.nz/.../radiationintheenvironment.asp&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

No way will I ever eat such a thing! I will continue to buy only organic, non-irradiate foods or grow my own. The only thing this is good for is my weight loss maintenance and life extension. Eating fewer calories than necessary daily has been scientifically proven to extend life. So, thanks to governmentally engineered outbreaks and 'cures' like this, I may actually live longer and eat better.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We who frequent the Mercola website understand the value of raw foods, but the educated &amp;quot;Knuckle heads&amp;quot; in the USDA, have no clue. &amp;nbsp;I do not want Government to think for me, or even tell what is healthy for me. &amp;nbsp;They will muck it up every time. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As we here on the website know it is &amp;quot;BIG PHARMA'S&amp;quot; plan to have everyone on some form of their venom, and what better way to make this happen then to destroy our source of helathy food.&lt;/p&gt;

Whether or not you buy from your local supermarket chain, use one of their customer comment cards to ask whether they will be selling irradiated produce and how it will be labeled. Leave your name and contact information - why not? You seriously want to know! So far, irradiation is not mandatory. If enough supermarket chains see that a lot of consumers are aware and angry, and willing to take their food dollars elsewhere, they will respond by refusing to carry dead produce. Make your voices heard and vote with your dollars!&lt;/p&gt;
