DeOccupy GMOs: #CreateFoodDemocracy
Mic Check: The health risks of genetically modified (GM) foods are well documented for anyone willing to learn and accept the awful truth.
In a corporate-dominated society, of course, profit typically trumps truth…until now. Thanks to the ever-growing Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement, the realities about genetically engineered foodstuffs—and the humans responsible for them—are becoming more widely known.

Open the Gates: #DeOccupyConfirmationBias
So, there I am, at the gym—teaching someone how to torque her hips into a left hook—when I hear the griping about health care…a worthy subject of complaint, for sure. Then comes the punch line: “I’d get better treatment if I wasn’t an American,” the griper declared. “The immigrants come here, don’t pay taxes, and exploit the system. Me? I’m screwed because I was born here and pay my taxes.”

#Occupy Yer Mind
#OccupyBeginner’sMind: See things as they are, not as you wish they were. If you told a child about climate change, that child would likely ask, “What causes climate change?” You might answer, “Many things, especially the meat-based diet and petroleum-based industry.” The odds are that kid would promptly deliver the obvious, baggage-free, beginner’s mind question: “So, why doesn’t everyone just stop eating meat and using oil?”
