Horizon Milk & Silk Soy: 20 Reasons to Ride the White Wave into Dean Foods Green. ~ Tara DeAngelis
by elephantjournal.com on Oct 6, 2011
As a reader of elephant journal, it is likely you have purchased Horizon Organic Milk, or Silk soy milk recently. Who knew they were owned by the same company, White Wave, who is now owned by Dean Foods? I sure didn’t.Even though food companies like Dean Foods are acquiring companies demonstrating Right-Livelihood, like White Wave, it is still disturbing that the industry is moving closer and closer to being monopolized.The loss of integrity in the organic food industry, along with Monsanto’s rising is a eminent crisis that will affect our generation very soon.

Clean your House, Change your Chi!
by Jennifer Bonetto on Jul 7, 2011
Energy brings opportunities for money, relationships and health. When energy is met with an obstacle, it diverts from it’s normal path, which in turn takes longer to complete the “lo shu flight path.” For example, picture yourself driving along and all of the sudden the light turns red, which in turn forces you to come to a screaching halt. If you were to keep doing this a dozen times, it would eventually take longer for you to get to your destination.
