A conversation with Kiira Heymann, Director of Strategic Partnerships at the Non-GMO Project and the Food Integrity Collective. After the success of the Non-GMO Project in the U.S., which is now featured on almost 63,000 products, the team is launching the Non-Ultra-Processed Food verification. In this conversation, we discuss why—why introduce another label? And why is it so important for the food sector to focus on increasing consumers' capacity to demand more from their food system, rather than just adding another label?This isn't just another label—it's a carefully considered intervention designed to reconnect people with their food in profound ways. When 70% of American store shelves hold ultra-processed products engineered with ingredients banned in other countries, the stakes couldn't be higher. What makes this effort particularly fascinating is how it challenges the very foundation of food certification itself. Rather than creating another "shortcut to trust", the team is exploring how to eliminate the need for certifications entirely by rebuilding true transparency in our food system. Their research shows 81% of North Americans are concerned about questionable ingredients in their food, yet only 17% feel knowledgeable about the topic—a gap this initiative aims to close.Beyond ingredients, this movement addresses the cognitive impact of ultra-processed foods. Studies show these products can significantly impair brain function in as little as 30 days, creating a troubling cycle where the very foods engineered to be addictive are simultaneously diminishing our capacity to make better choices. By helping consumers understand and avoid ultra-processed foods, the certification offers a pathway toward better physical and mental wellbeing.Currently in its pilot phase with 20 pioneering brands, the non-UPFs verification program aims to launch products by fall 2025. The certification represents more than just another shopping guide—it's an invitation to experience the profound difference real food makes in how we feel, think, and connect with our world.More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/kiira-heymann.==========================In Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food podcast show we talk to the pioneers in the regenerative food and agriculture space to learn more on how to put our money to work to regenerate soil, people, local communities and ecosystems while making an appropriate and fair return.

Are the Bees OK? Pic of honey bees On today's show, I'll speak to award winning, investigative journalist Rebecca Raney.  Her her latest article in U. S. Right To Know (usrtk.org) discusses the fudged numbers surrounding the nationwide bee population. In her article entitled, “Are the Bees Okay or Not.  USDA Bee Colony Numbers Disputed”, Rebecca Raney states: Award-winning Investigative Journalist Rebecca Raney “Beekeepers and honey producers are disputing a federal honeybee census estimate of 3.8 million colonies in the United States in 2022 – a record number for the nationwide count. That estimate showed a 35 percent increase from the estimate of 2.8 million colonies in 2017. The report drove headlines claiming that U.S. bee farms are “buzzing” and that bees are “flourishing again.” To beekeeping advocates, inflated numbers of bee colonies – a prominent statistic on bee health – can undermine efforts to get funding to improve colony health. To conservationists, high-profile reports of record numbers of bee colonies in the face of a well-documented trend of insect extinctions complicate the job of maintaining public awareness about food security and the effects of pesticides.”   Additional Articles by Rebecca Raney:  “Anatomy of a science meeting: How controversial pesticide research all but vanished from a major conference”   The post Are The Bees OK? USDA Bee Colony Numbers Disputed appeared first on KPFA.

To hear more, visit www.widerlenspod.comMany who promote gender identity ideology claim to champion children's rights but often serve adult agendas at the expense of the child's long-term best interests. There is danger of making irreversible decisions for children based on this ideology, which can lead to long-lasting harm. By reinforcing the authority of parents and ensuring they have the power to protect their children from such influences, society can better safeguard children's basic human rights and ensure their healthy development.Advocacy for parenting and policymaking should focus on the long-term well-being of children, rather than their immediate expressed desires. Maintaining policies and laws that protect children's long-term interests and empower parents to make decisions on their behalf is crucial, ensuring that children grow up in a safe and supportive environment that honors their true needs and rights.In this bonus episode for premium subscribers, Vernadette outlines a comprehensive list of what she considers basic human rights for children, emphasizing the necessity for children to receive truthful education about science and human biology, protection of their bodies from harmful and unproven treatments, and the preservation of their future fertility. She stresses that children should have access to effective therapies that address underlying issues such as family dysfunction, autism, and trauma, rather than being subjected to experimental procedures driven by ideological influences. A key component of her argument is the critical role of parental authority. Vernadette asserts that parents, as the natural guardians of their children, should be empowered to make informed decisions that prioritize their child's long-term well-being, including safeguarding the child's right to natural development and protection from unnecessary medical interventions.Watch our full length episode with Vernadette Broyles: https://www.widerlenspod.com/p/episode-170To listen to our premium content in your favorite podcast app click here for Substack instructions on setting up a private feed.

Full Hour | Today, Dom led off the Dom Giordano Program by offering up some storylines that played out within the political realm over the weekend. First, Dom tells that new House Speaker has been unsurprisingly attacked by the Left, but reveals that the content of their attacks are not what would've been expected, being his support of Donald Trump… instead with Left talking heads taking aim at his deep ties to his Christian faith. Then, Dom welcomes Michael Geer, Founding President and CEO of the Pennsylvania Family Institute, back onto the Dom Giordano Program to discuss some extensive research his organization has done into Pennsylvania spending on Transgendered care for minors. The new report, which was compiled through Right-To-Know requests, reveals that the Commonwealth has spent more than $20 million on ‘gender-affirming' care, including surgeries for minors. Geer breaks this down to a daily spending amount, and reveals the worrisome surgeries being performed on minors. (Photo by Drew Angerer/Getty Images)

We speak to DUP MP Gregory Campbell and employment lawyer Florence Smith.

Dom Giordano, WPHT host and former teacher, has dedicated much of his daily show toward parents who are taking it into their own hands to push back against school boards that have a negative impact on their children. This has culminated in a weekly podcast on education, Readin', Writin', and Reason, which has allowed wonderful relationships to develop between Giordano, educators, and parents throughout the country who are speaking out against overbearing school boards.  First, Dom leads off the podcast by telling of a 150-page report released Thursday night at a Central Bucks School District meeting that blows up anti-LGBT allegations made against the School Board, pointing toward complaints made by a teacher that seem like false allegations in hopes to create a narrative. Dom welcomes in Central Bucks School District President Dana Hunter to hear about last night's board meeting in which this report was presented that calls into question allegations made by a teacher that the board has been hateful toward LGBT students. In the investigation, attorneys for the district found two explosive documents, the first being a write-up of alleged bullying against two students, one who alleges anti-LGBT hate and another who refused to go along with the teacher's narrative, found on the teacher's computer, and another being an email sent by a board member to Secretary Cardona and the Office of the Civil Rights asking for a Federal investigation into the district. Hunter explains that both emails add further evidence to the determination that much of what was alleged against the school board was only create to advance a false narrative. Then, Dom welcomes back in Megan Brock, a parent-activist in Bucks County, who has joined the podcast multiple times, even receiving the Readin' Writin' and Reason Person of the Year for 2022, to lay forth information that she received utilizing the Right-To-Know process in Pennsylvania that exposes questionable actions during Coronavirus by Bucks County. Bucks County filed multiple lawsuits against Brock to prevent the release of the documents uncovered in these Right-to-Know requests and Brock tells that Thursday morning, her cases will be heard at the Bucks County Justice Center. Brock brings us inside the situation, and tells what she expects at this week's hearing.

Then, Dom reads back some answers given to the Bike Coalition by Philadelphia Mayoral candidates, leading him into a long conversation about the massive amount of power that the organization holds on City officials. Dan and Dom take listeners into the City, discussing certain portions where the bike lane issue has supplanted the needs of local citizens. This discussion leads Dom and Dan into a conversation about SEPTA, with one of the questions asking whether candidates would support a re-organization of what's essentially Philadelphia's Department of Transportation, which Producer Dan supports, running counter to Dom's opinion.

Sign-up for Making The Leap's newsletter today!On this week's episode, Chris and Christine discuss the importance of speaking up and demanding transparency in K-12 education. They are joined by a mom who has been a fearless warrior for Pennsylvania students since 2020. "She did something during covid that no other parent did," Chris said. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Megan Brock said she was a "regular mom." That quickly changed when Megan saw politics taking over the public school system in her state. Schools were shutting down with no science to back up the closures. From her vantage point, kids were being used as political pawns. Meanwhile, juvenile crime rates in Philadelphia were increasing and math and science scores were rapidly dropping. Megan decided to speak up and demand answers, filing numerous Right-To-Know requests with state and local officials in Bucks County. These requests were quickly met with lawsuits, which Megan has been able to fight with the help from Judicial Watch. You can stay in touch with Megan on Twitter and learn more about your rights as parents by visiting her website. If you enjoyed this episode of Making the Leap, leave a 5-star rating and let us know what you liked about the show on your favorite podcast app. You can also comment on any of our social pages; Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
