Welcome back to say I have been less then sporadic in my offerings to my blog community is an understatement. I will have the forward head posture article up tomorrow. The aim is to give you related content four or five days a week. One of the articles I am working on is GMO 2 the environmental concerns, as well as interviewing an organic farmer. If any of you can put me into contact with an organic farmer it would be greatly appreciated. The article will have a bio of the farmer along with the interview and if possible pictures of the farm. Today is renamed Trailer Tuesday! Please see below for a listing of six trailers of films that are related to some of the topics we have discussed in the past. Also we have two honorable mentions. All the descriptions of the films were taken from either IMDB or Amazon. A good number of the films are available on Netflix.
OMG GMO
1) OMG GMO “Today in the United States, by the simple acts of feeding ourselves, we are unwittingly participating in the largest experiment ever conducted on human beings. Each of us unknowingly consumes genetically engineered food on a daily basis. The risks and effects to our health and the environment are largely unknown. Yet more and more studies are being conducted around the world, which only provide even more reason for concern. We are the oblivious guinea pigs for wide-scale experimentation of modern biotechnology. GMO OMG tells the story of a fathers discovery of GMOs in relationship to his 3 young children and the world around him. We still have time to heal the planet, feed the world, and live sustainably. But we have to start now!” Description found on IMDB

Fat Sick and Nearly Dead
2)Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead : 100 pounds overweight, loaded up on steroids and suffering from a debilitating autoimmune disease, Joe Cross is at the end of his rope and the end of his hope. In the mirror he saw a 310lb man whose gut was bigger than a beach ball and a path laid out before him that wouldn't end well-with one foot already in the grave, the other wasn't far behind. FAT, SICK & NEARLY DEAD is an inspiring film that chronicles Joe's personal mission to regain his health. With doctors and conventional medicines unable to help long-term, Joe turns to the only option left, the body's ability to heal itself. He trades in the junk food and hits the road with juicer and generator in tow, vowing only to drink fresh fruit and vegetable juice for the next 60 days. Across 3,000 miles Joe has one goal in mind: To get off his pills and achieve a balanced lifestyle. While talking to more than 500 Americans about food, health and longevity, its at a truck stop in Arizona where Joe meets a truck driver who suffers from the same rare condition. Phil Staples is morbidly obese weighing in at 429 lbs; a cheeseburger away from a heart-attack. As Joe is recovering his health, Phil begins his own epic journey to get well. What emerges is nothing short of amazing - an inspiring tale of healing and human connection. Part road trip, part self-help manifesto, FAT, SICK & NEARLY DEAD defies the traditional documentary format to present an unconventional and uplifting story of two men from different worlds who each realize that the only person who can save them is themselves.

Some of the content here is scary downright bone chilling. I just want to open your eyes to some of whats going on, as well as the different avenues where information is available to you. Hopefully you have been hitting up your local farmers market, become friends with the vendors. We really need to vote with our dollars and support the local farmers and local industry. The truth of the matter is that we should not have to opt for grass fed meat or free range chicken we should have to choose otherwise. I do have a homework assignment make one meal from local produce and meat and write me back and let me know how it is in the comments. Throw in some pictures for good measure. Please share this article!
