  • The bloodletting is only the tip of the story. My favorite part was when the island’s government secretly sold out all of its residents and decided to protect the corporation who is putting them in an early grave:

    Despite the growing evidence of health effects, compensation remains unlikely. Jersey’s government signed a confidential deal with 3M in 2005, agreeing not to pursue legal claims for £2.6m towards cleanup. Jersey must also assist 3M in defending any future claims.

    A source who asked not to be identified said Jersey needed 3M’s permission to proceed with blood tests to avoid corporate backlash. “The state got an agreement to do individual blood tests, but not screening, as that could be the first step towards a possible class action lawsuit.”












  • Minimal change in relation to the damage ulta-processed foods are causing our population but at least its a step in the right direction. As someone who suffers from a Crohns (likely induced by a combination of processed food and over stress/work) I’m very happy we’re finally taking a look at the food industry with more scepticism. I’ve done work inside food processing plants and it amazes me how they can justify manipulating our basic foods to ensure they are addictive and profitable at any cost.

    Change does not happen overnight and hopefully this push to reevaluate our food practises will actually make it through the next election.

    One day, I hope to be able to eat a food cooked by someone else without experiencing debilitating pain afterwards.
