Oprah: Eat Organically

Today Oprah has let everyone know why eating organically is so important.

“In honor of our Earth—I love her—I’m asking all of you today to implement just one green idea to help the fight against global warming.”

—Oprah

 Oprah’s Organic Guru, Sophie Uliano, says you don’t need to buy everything organic, sometimes it’s not available but there are  some fruits and vegetables that you definitely want to buy organically because they are the most heavily sprayed.

“Look for organic raisins, potatoes, green beans, cucumbers and strawberries. Can’t find them organically? Make your own veggie spray with grapefruit seed extract—found at your local health food store—to help wash away any chemicals that could be on your fruit. Rinsing simply isn’t enough. “All you do is spray it on the vegetables, leave it for 5 or 10 minutes and rinse them off, and you’ve got rid of a lot of pesticide residue,” Sophie says.”

Sandra Bullock’s Homemade Window Cleaner

  • 3 tablespoons Vinegar
  • 1/3 teaspoon of Liquid Vegetable Soap (eg Castile soap)
  • 2 cups water

To get streak-free windows, Sandra mixes three tablespoons of vinegar, a third of a teaspoon of pure liquid vegetable soap, like castile soap, and two cups of water in a recycled spray bottle. “It cleans your windows like crazy,” she says. “Oddly, the vinegar smell doesn’t linger.”

Organic Consumers Assc. reveals 1,4-Dioxane chemicals - ONE

This is part one of an exclusive interview between Ronnie Cummins of the Organic Consumers Association and Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, of NaturalNews.com. In this interview, Cummins reveals the lab results that show 47 out of 100 “natural” or “organic” personal care products to be contaminated with a cancer-causing chemical 1,4-dioxane.

Plot Outline:

 

“Let thy Food be thy Medicine and thy Medicine be thy Food.” – Hippocrates

That’s the message from the founding father of modern medicine echoed in the controversial new documentary film ‘Food Matters’ from first-time Producer-Directors James Colqhuoun and Laurentine ten Bosch.

“With nutritionally-depleted foods, chemical additives and our tendency to rely upon pharmaceutical drugs to treat what’s wrong with our malnourished bodies, it’s no wonder that modern society is getting sicker. ‘Food Matters’ sets about uncovering the trillion dollar worldwide “Sickness Industry” and giving people some scientifically verifiable solutions for curing disease naturally.” - James

And in what promises to be the most contentious idea put forward, the filmmakers have interviewed several world leaders in nutrition and natural healing who claim that not only are we harming our bodies with improper nutrition, but that the right kind of foods, supplements and detoxification can be used to treat chronic illnesses as fatal as terminally diagnosed cancer.

‘Food Matters’ is to be launched globally via the internet using cutting-edge full screen video technology.

Food Matters features music by Australia’s John Butler Trio - www.johnbutlertrio.com

The film’s official trailer and website can be found at foodmatters.tv
