1. Factory Farms Transmit DiseasesNeal Barnard, President of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), provides invaluable insight on the true cause of many disease outbreaks among humans such as in the recent case of salmonella.

We are indeed much more than what we eat, but what we eat can nevertheless help us to be much more than what we are. ~ Adelle Davis (1904 - 1974), American pioneer in the field of nutrition.
3. Cruciferous Health News

4. (RSV) Ephesians 6:10-11
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
We live in a world full of struggles and challenges that we must face daily. By placing ourselves in the hands of God and following Jesus' teachings of compassion and mercy we are able to withstand it all.
5. MRSA Linked to Swine Factory Farms

When we cause misery to God's animals, it comes around to us as well. The unimaginable suffering that pigs suffer in factory farms has no excuse, and shows our deplorable sense of stewardship. In other words, we reap what we sow.
