What we put into our bodies is important. At this point, we all know that chemicals and unhealthy additives are added to our food.
Let's look into the difference of chemicals that are sprayed and added to foods that are organic and what's used in non organic food.
Listed below, are the chemicals that are allowed in organic foods . The list is long, but most of the chemicals are natural, for example, hydrogen peroxide, which is also in mouth wash. Alcohol, fish oil, vitamin E, mulch, sticky traps for bugs.
I was also going to list what is allowed in conventional, non organic food. After a lot time spent, searching for that list online. I could not find that list. All I found was rodenticide, pesticide and glotathouride, which are all poisinous materials for animals, insects and humans. Which according to the EPA website are all safe.
The list and information that is posted here was found on the EPA Government Website. I posted a link to the EPA website at the bottom if you want more information. Do you think organic food is safer? Organic food is not allowed to use the three mentioned chemicals that are allowed in non organic food; rodenticide, pesticide and glutathione. Which are the controversial pesticides.

Martial Law in South Korea: A Political Crisis. Explained
Voyage News | Let's Voyage Today Martial Law in South Korea: A Political Crisis South Korean citizens of an opposition party want their President, Yoon to resign, in the midst of a political scandal President Yoon is involved in, tied to money bribes. President Yoon Suk Yeol’s declaration of martial law in South Korea has sparked political upheaval and discussions of impeachment amid concerns for constitutional democracy.

Vivek Ramaswamy and the right movement disagree on immigration.
The MAGA movement, historically aligned under the 'America First' ideology, is now experiencing a division spurred by an online debate regarding the H-1B visa program. This initiative, which permits American companies to recruit highly skilled foreign professionals, has become a contentious issue among supporters of President-elect Donald Trump. At the center of this dispute is Vivek Ramaswamy, a former candidate for the GOP presidential nomination and a Trump appointee for DOGE, whose robust advocacy for the H-1B program has drawn ire from MAGA supporters and prominent Republicans. Recently appointed co-chief of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Ramaswamy set off the debate with a bold statement on X, expressing his enthusiasm for welcoming 'highly skilled' workers from abroad, despite the MAGA community and Trump’s past calls for tougher immigration policies. He argued that the trend of tech firms hiring foreign-born engineers over American candidates...

Drug Tunnel Found at the U.S. - Mexico Border.
Image of the entrance of the tunnel found at the US - Mexico Border News Week, Fox and other major news outlets are reporting that Mexican authorities and a deployed drone surrounding the border, has uncovered a drug tunnel beneath the U.S.-Mexico border, according to official reports. The tunnel is believed to have been used by drug cartels for illegal immigration, drugs and human smuggling. Mexican officials believe they have successfully halted the progress of a new drug tunnel that would lead into Arizona. ( Newsweek ) This tunnel’s entrance is located in San Luis Rio Colorado, near Yuma, and the State Public Security Secretariat of Sonora shared tunnel images on Facebook. The discovery resulted from a collaborative operation involving U.S. Customs and Border Protection, where agents utilized a drone to locate the tunnel just south of the existing border wall. Authorities suspect that this tunnel, still in its nascent stages, is a "narco tunnel" intended for the illicit...
Healthy, Super Easy Beef Potato Veggie Soup Recipe
Who doesn't love a delicious, hearty beef soup, add whatever veggies you want to make it healthy too! My style of cooking and train of thought is,start with a basic recipe and work with whatever ingredients that you already have in your kitchen. I have been cooking delicious foods for a while, about 20 years, from scratch, almost none of my foods come from a can. Except maybe a jar of pasta sauce once in a while. I feel that, soups, stews and food in general shouldn't be canned. Of course unless your pressed on time and you need to grab a frozen meal once in a while. So most of my recipes are super easy to make without using canned food. Again, unless it's just a jar of marinara or tomato sauce. I have tons of recipes I would love to share. Since my family has strong European roots, I have tons of European and Polish recipes to share, along with great American favorites. My goal in cooking is to make food as healthy, simple to cook and delicious as possible. I do...
