We just received a couple of Christmas gifts from our friends in Lake Oswego. One of them was a hand made ornament, a chicken sewn out of a red and white floral patterned cloth. On Hawaii, chickens are everywhere, especially on Kawaii where there are no natural predators for the wild chickens. The Hawaiians do not think of them as food.
A Brit named Cooke explored the Pacific islands three times and on his third lap he was killed by natives on a Hawaiian island. I think that was in 1799. He was trying to kidnap the king, who was clueless. Empire builders like to start by kidnapping the king. I just finished reading Sapiens by Harari and he speaks of the progress of empires around the world. The Aztecs and then the Incas were enslaved by small bands of Europeans who landed and said "We come in peace. Take us to your ruler." They were taken to the rulers and promptly captured them, stole their wealth and enslaved their people. If we are to take any lessons from this, it might be to immediately slaughter any godlike strangers that show up asking for our leaders.

WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE RICE FINDING
**eat less rice
**vary rice products with other grains
**eat a varied diet and don't fret
**rinse before cooking
**cook differently: boil in excess water and then strain (removes 30% of inorganic)
**limit cereals to one serving/day esp for babies
**avoid baby formula containing domestic rice
( notesCollapse )

studiousAbout a year ago I had my hair tested and found out that I have above "normal" mercury levels (I think because I eat sashimi) and even higher levels of arsenic in my body. Someone told me that I could have gotten the arsenic in my body from the chicken that I ate, but at the time I didn't find anything online about it. I checked my water sources and it wasn't in there. I learned that you can get arsenic poisoning from automotive smog, and I do live in a Dell downwind of two interstate highways.
Today Mercola has an article up about arsenic poisoning in chicken: it may be common.
