21 Day Challenge Begins Today

I began a 21 day diet from a local health food vendor here in Austin.  You eat their stuff for 21 days, and theoretically you lose ten to eighteen pounds if you're a man, a bit less if you're a woman.  I look forward to reporting on my results.

Preparedness begins at home.  I've said it before, but it bears repeating: all the MREs, silencers, AR-15s, tactical pants and ham radios won't help you if you're out of shape or otherwise unhealthy if we were to go grid down for a period of time.  This needs to be every prepper's priority for 2012.

Of Course, We May All Be Eating 2,4 D Before It's All Over

Jahna the Gladiator posted this story which I am still trying to digest (no pun intended) entitled "The Organic Elite Surrenders To Monsanto: What Now?"  Apparently, organic advocates like Whole Foods Market and Stonyfield Farms have reached an agreement with the USDA to drop their opposition to genetically engineered alfalfa and other plants in exchange for the USDA to begin regulating the genetically engineered seeds.

As I mentioned last night, please start paying attention to stories like this.
