Save the Bees

We have no time to lose -- a recent study shows 96% of our four main bee species have been wiped out. Some studies claim the decline may be due to a combination of factors including disease, habitat loss and toxic chemicals. But increasingly, independent research has produced strong evidence blaming neonicotinoid pesticides.

France, Italy, Slovenia and even Germany, where the main manufacturer Bayer is based, have banned one of these bee killers. But, Bayer continues to export its poison across the world, and the US is one of its biggest markets. A leaked document shows that the EPA already knew about the pesticide’s dangers, and ignored them.

We need to make our voices heard to counter Bayer’s very strong influence on US policy makers and scientists -- they fund the studies and sit on policy bodies. The real experts -- the beekeepers and farmers -- want these deadly pesticides prohibited until and unless we have solid, independent studies that show they are safe. Let's support them now.

Butternut Squash Soup

Hearty, cooked, vegan soup

Still bearing the cold weather and need some warmth? Here is a part raw, part cooked soup by raw chef Elaina Love.

Servings: Serves 4
I ended up finding a piece of raw tumeric root at my local health food store, and boy did that make it extra spicy and excellent! So instead of using curry powder, I used the fresh, raw tumeric. Alot of the ingredients I did not cook, so it was left mostly raw.

Ingredients:
2 teaspoons coconut oil
1 medium yellow onion
2 cloves garlic
1 medium butternut squash
4 stalks of celery
1 head of broccoli with peeled stem
1 red bell pepper (optional)
6 cups water (more or less)
10 large basil leaves
1/2 bunch cilantro
1-2 tsp. curry powder or cumin powder
cayenne to taste
2-4 tsp. Himalayan salt or to taste
black pepper to taste

Peel the butternut squash and remove the seeds. Chop the onion and garlic and sautee in a large pot with 2 teaspoons of coconut oil. Add the chopped celery and continue to sautee until the celery starts to soften.Add the water and the remainder of the chopped vegetables and spices except the fresh basil and cilantro. Let simmer for 10-15 minutes then test the squash for softness.If it is soft enough to bite through, the soup is done. Adjust seasonings. Remove 1/2-2/3 of the soup and blend it until smooth with the basil and cilantro. Add the blended mixture back to the pot with the unblended portion. Stir and serve.
