Fight Back Against the Food Ignorance

This exclusive clip from the documentary film All Jacked Up features Mike Adams (the Health Ranger) talking with Bobby Rice about how We the People can defend ourselves against the marketing lies, junk science and massive chemical onslaught dumped onto consumers by Big Pharma and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

This video clip features a cartoon segment and an urgent call for action to protect ourselves and our children from the deadly chemicals fed to us by food corporations and drug companies.

It's part of the outstanding All Jacked Up documentary available now on DVD from Faerie Films at: http://alljackedupmovie.com/nt/

All Jacked Up is a MUST-SEE film by all parents and teens. Read my full review of the film here: http://www.naturalnews.com/022510.html

Bob Thurman: Becoming Buddha -- on the Web

Why you should listen to him:

Tenzin Bob Thurman became a Tibetan monk at age 24. He's a professor of Indo-Tibetan Buddhist studies at Columbia University, and co-founder of Tibet House US, a nonprofit dedicated to the preservation and promotion of Tibetan civilization.

Thurman's focus is on the balance between inner insight and cultural harmony. In interpreting the teachings of Buddha, he argues that happiness can be reliable and satisfying in an enduring way without depriving others.

He has translated many Buddhist Sutras, or teachings, and written many books, recently taking on the topic of Anger for the recent Oxford series on the seven deadly sins. He maintains a podcast on Buddhist topics. And yes, he is Uma's dad.

"Thurman considers Buddhism to be primarily a system of education, a science that guides individuals to live life to its fullest." Kansas City Star

Matthieu Ricard: Habits of happiness

Why you should listen to Matthieu Ricard :

After training in biochemistry at the Institute Pasteur, Matthieu Ricard left science behind to move to the Himalayas and become a Buddhist monk -- and to pursue happiness, both at a basic human level and as a subject of inquiry. Achieving happiness, he has come to believe, requires the same kind of effort and mind training that any other serious pursuit involves.

His deep and scientifically tinged reflections on happiness and Buddhism have turned into several books, including The Quantum and the Lotus: A Journey to the Frontiers Where Science and Buddhism Meet. At the same time, he also makes sensitive and jaw-droppingly gorgeous photographs of his beloved Tibet and the spiritual hermitage where he lives and works on humanitarian projects.

His latest book on happiness is Happiness: A Guide to Developing Life's Most Important Skill; his latest book of photographs is Tibet: An Inner Journey.
"Matthieu Ricard, French translator and right-hand man for the Dalai Lama, has been the subject of intensive clinical tests at the University of Wisconsin, as a result of which he is frequently described as the happiest man in the world."
