2011: Year of the GMO

by Christopher Arnett 

Native Foods Cafe 

USA Today released an article this past Wednesday describing how U.S. farmers and those in developing countries were largely responsible for the planting of large numbers of GMO crops around the globe in 2011. This is despite resistance from Europe and those that think such crops should bear special labels informing consumers that they are GMO products. 2011 marked the first time that 50% of biotech crops were grown in the developing world, rather than the industrialized world.

395 million acres of farmland were planted with biotech crops in 2011. This sounds like a staggering number. According to the International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications report released Tuesday of this week, that is 30 million more acres than 2010. The U.S. still leads the world in the planting of GM crops, currently with 170 million acres. It is this biotech acreage that produces 95% of the nation’s sugar beets, 94% of our soybeans, 90% of our cotton, and 88% of the feed corn. Whether you’re pro or anti GMO, I do want to point out that Native Foods Café does not currently endorse the use of GMO products in our food.

So why GMOs?  

At its core, the issue is drive by economics.As written in the article, “Genetic engineering seeks to boost crop production or lower costs.  The plants are often genetically modified to resist week killers or to generate their own insect repellent.” Generate their own insect repellant? This raises an eyebrow. It is precisely fear of side effects on health that make many wary of consuming GMO products, but I suppose if there are no harmful side effects to the consumer, then there’s no problem.

 

In light of the boom of GMO plantings worldwide and especially the U.S., an old controversy is returning to the spotlight: genetically engineered alfalfa. GM alfalfa had been banned after a law suit in 2007, but the ban was overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2010. Organic farmers were one sector of the initial opposition, fearing that genetically modified alfalfa pollen could contaminate organic alfalfa fields. This would’ve made it impossible for the alfalfa to be sold as organic, and marketed as organic cow feed. In turn, this would have threatened the production of organic cow’s milk.

For better or for worse, GMO crops are here, and they are here in force. Only time will tell if people’s misgivings are misplaced, and if GMO crops might somehow be a healthy and more efficient way to engage in agriculture.

Big Miracle Shines the Hollywood Spotlight on the Plight of Grey Whales

by Christopher Arnett

Native Foods Cafe

Big Miracle starring funnyman John Krasinski and the endearing Drew Barrymore premieres this weekend. Based on a true story as read in the 1989 book Freeing the Whales by Tom Rose, it tells the tale of local Alaskan newsman Adam Carlson (Krasinski) who reports on the plight of a family of Grey whales that have become trapped under thickening Arctic ice. The press he gives the situation (dubbed Operaton Breakthrough) draws help from his environmentalist ex-girlfriend (Barrymore), and ultimately the native Inuits, local oil companies, the Russians, and the Americans.

Even though the events that Big Miracle is based on occurred in the eighties, some Grey whales are still endangered. Thankfully, one population in the Eastern North Pacific has recovered and was removed from the U.S. Endangered Species List in 1994. Sadly, the North Atlantic population is extinct, and the Western North Pacific population consists of only about 130 individuals.

Currently, the Grey whales are threatened by environmental changes, including habitat loss and toxins. They are also harmed by ship strikes and entanglement in fishing gear, especially during their annual migrations through the coastal waters of Japan, Korea, and China.

Interested in learning more or finding ways to help? Check out the organizations below:

• Oceana is the largest international organization working solely to protect the world’s oceans. Since 2001, they have protected over 1.2 million square miles of ocean and innumerable sea life.
• Oceanmiracle.org is a movie-related site that offer more info on organizations and how you can get involved. You can also learn about Cindy Lowry, who is the environmental activist who was the executive director of Greenpeace in Alaska and played a big role in the events depicted in Big Miracle.  Go Cindy!
• Save the Whales is the famous nonprofit founded in 1977 that has since been at the forefront of fighting for the survival of whales in the wild and educating the public.

 

Rated PG, it’s an inspirational movie for the entire family (and if you sneak in some snacks from Native Foods Café, we won’t tell!

 

P.S.  It’s playing right next door to us (10 yards away) from our NEWEST Native Foods Café at Fashion Island!!!!    Plus it’s playing right next to us at The District in Tustin, CA,  Native Foods Café in Bridgeport Village, OR and steps away from Native Foods Café in  Aliso Viejo…..

That's So Weird: An Interview with Weird Al Yankovic

by Native Foods Cafe

Weird Al Yankovic is one cool, albeit weird, dude with good taste.... he loves Native Foods Cafe!  So we threw some questions his way to find out how weird he is anyways.  I think we got our answer...  

Here is the full interview we did with Weird Al for the January 2012 Native Newsletter:

Where are you from?

 I grew up in beautiful, scenic Lynwood, California.

 

What is your sign?

I’m on the cusp, so either Scorpio or Libra… actually, they totally revamped all those astrology signs a while ago, didn’t they?  I don’t know… I was born on Oct. 23 – YOU figure it out.

 

What motivated/ inspired you to go veg?

I read Diet For a New America 20 years ago, and I thought it made a very compelling case for vegetarianism.

 

Who is your favoritest musician or musical act of all time? 

It’s impossible to pick a favorite. I usually name Spike Jones, Allan Sherman, Stan Freberg and Tom Lehrer.

 

Why?

They were my musical influences – they were the kings of musical comedy in previous generations.

 

What is your favorite menu item at Native Foods Café?

I have to admit, I’m kind of partial to the Weird Al Tamale Pie.

 

What is your favorite dessert at Native Foods Café?

Love it all, but I’m going to go with the blueberry cheesecake.

 

If you were to write a song about any dish at Native Foods Café, which would it be?

The Baja Surf Tacos, of course.

 

Could you give us the first few lines of how you think it might go?

No, I’m afraid that’ll cost you.

 

Taco Grande is one of the best songs EVER!  Did you write it because you sincerely love tacos that much?

No, I just figured that if anybody was going to do a Gerardo parody, it was going to be me.

 

If not tacos specifically, what is your favorite Mexican food?

I appreciate a good tostada.  Burritos come in a very close second.

 

Do you need frequent naps?

Hey, if I don’t get 20 hours of sleep in my hyperbaric chamber, I’m just no good for the rest of the day.

 

Do you enjoy cooking?

I don’t really cook that much, but I really enjoy opening cans.

 

Do you have a signature dish you make?

Yes.  Soup out of a can.

 

If aliens landed in your backyard, what is the first dish you would prepare for them to welcome them to Planet Earth?

That’s a really tough question.  There are so many things I could share with them from our civilization – I think I’d have to go with soup out of a can.

 

What is the first song you would play for them?

“You Light Up My Life” by Debbie Boone.

 

What is the weirdest food you have ever eaten and where did you eat it?

I guess that would be the Twinkie-wiener sandwich that I famously consumed in my movie UHF.

 

If you were granted the ability to snap your fingers and change one thing in the world immediately (and only this one time!), what would it be?

I wish the battery in my laptop lasted longer.

 

Do you have any pets or animal companions?  If so, what kind and what are their names?

We have a green cheek conure named Dinah. I also consider the bacteria living on my body to be my pets, but I haven’t bothered to name them.

 

If you were offered the ability to be invisible OR be able to fly, which would you choose? And why?

I would choose to be invisible.  Because I can already fly.

2012: Let it Be the Year In Which Species Begin to No Longer Be Endangered

by Christopher Arnett

Native Foods Cafe

In Indonesia, scientists have recently “rediscovered” a species of monkey that was long thought to be extinct: Miller’s Grizzled Langur (now that’s a name).  The cute critters are distinguished by their black faces and collars of fluffy white hair.  Initially, the team of scientists was unsure of the monkeys’ identity, since almost no photographs exist of them, only museum sketches. The monkeys once inhabited northeastern Borneo, Java, Sumatra, and the Thai-Malay peninsula. Sadly, their habitat was destroyed by human activity (settlement, agriculture, and mining). A field survey conducted in 2005 failed to confirm their existence, and the animals were at thought point thought extinct. Scientists are currently in the process of confirming the size of the population. Though numerous images of the monkeys were captured over a two-month period, scientists need to determine if it was just a few families returning over and over, or a truly large and diverse population.

This is a hopeful story, considering that as the world has now entered the year 2012, innumerable species are still threatened. The International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) is the main organization responsible for rating which species (animals and plants) are most threatened, compiled in their Red List. This List uses the term “endangered” as one of several levels of imperilment, including “critically endangered” and “vulnerable” (though in the U.S. under the Endangered Species Act, “endangered” describes the highest level of threat). Let’s take a look at some of the animal species on the Red List as presented by allaboutwildlife.com:

 

The Amur leopard: The world’s rarest cat, it is a leopard subspecies that only lives in the snowy regions of eastern Russia. It used to inhabit Korea and northern China, but has become extinct in those countries. A 2007 census counted only 14- 20 adults, and 5-6 cubs!

 

 

Javan rhinoceros: With only 50-60 individuals remaining, it is the most endangered of the world’s five rhinoceros species. Formerly ranging across Southeast Asia and Indonesia, it now only inhabits the western tip of Java.

 

 

Leatherback sea turtle: This reptile is the earth’s biggest turtle. It also has the largest range of any species, swimming the globe from the tropics to sub-polar regions. Among the threats to the leatherback are theft of its eggs by humans, and hunting (also by humans).

 

 

Kakapo parrot: There are three characteristics that make this endangered bird so unique. First, it is the world’s heaviest parrot coming in at nine pounds. Second, it is the only nocturnal parrot. And lastly, it is the world’s only flightless parrot. Wow! Once common on both of New Zealand’s main islands, it is now only found on remote isles. There are now fewer than 150 in the wild, and almost all of them have names given by conservationists. These birds are too cute!

h 

 

Chinese giant salamander: This fascinating creature is the world’s largest amphibian, reaching lengths of up to 6 feet! Whoa, there! It was once common throughout central, southwestern, and southern China. However, overexploitation as a food source has pushed it the brink of extinction.

 

 

Well, that’s all for now, folks. Here’s hoping that 2012 sees the beginning of the reversal of endangered for all threatened species.

Save Yourselves and the World—Work Less!

by Christopher Arnett

 Native Foods Cafe 

We accept many things as natural and normal in our lives. We get married, pay bills, work five days a week. That’s just how things are done, and that’s what makes the world go round, right? Because if that’s the norm for advanced industrialized nations, then it can only be assumed that this is best way to live and keep our economies and thus our own lives functioning properly, right?

I think we all know how she feels sometimes!

 

 

Well, an article by the progressive New Economic Foundation (NEF) argues against one of the tenets deeply embedded in our modern day economic reality: the 40 hour work week. Michael Coren writing for Fast Company magazine poignantly summarized the thrust of the article by writing that “our behavior is totally out of step with human priorities and today’s economy.”  The article states that advanced nations should reorganize their economies such that a 40-hour work week is no longer necessary (though still optional for those who are willing).  It argues that we are caught in a cycle of work and consumption, futilely working towards material ends that provide transitory satisfaction. By working a 21-hour work week, paid work will be redistributed, in effect equalizing our economy (currently, some work too much while others work too little); and, more time would be available for our personal growth. Not only this, but if everyone on the planet was to achieve a standard of living on par with modern Western societies, it would simply overwhelm our resources. Coren summarizes the NEF’s solution when he writes “Instead of growing the economy, maybe we need to recalibrate society to make everyone happier and more successful with less.”

 

History shows us that when human societies were able reach a level of sustainable food production resulting in a surplus, it allowed other sectors of the population to focus on more intellectual and creative pursuits. Once mere survival was no longer a challenge, a flowering of culture occurred, as seen in the splendor of such ancient societies as those of ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, India, China, Greece, Rome, etc. And we, their descendents, have inherited this legacy, as evidenced by the current state of advancement of our own cultures. However, is it possible that for all our technological and cultural progress, we have reached a plateau in personal economic freedom that is negatively impacting all other aspects of our lives? Just as with our ancestors, once mere survival becomes less challenging, would it not lead to personal cultural, intellectual, and spiritual enrichment (assuming one takes advantage of the new opportunities for growth)? Imagine being able to work less but still maintaining your standard of living. You could spend more time with you family, cultivating those relationships that tend to get lost in the morass of busy schedules and obligations; you could go back to school, earning the degree you never had to the time for in the past; you could take up that yoga class, start painting again, or write that song you could never get around to, before.

Ah, the good ol’ Fertile Crescent. May our own lives be just as rich and bountiful as the cradle of human civilization one was.

 

Maybe I’m just too much of an optimist, but it seems to me that that the increased personal happiness and fulfillment that would occur from having the time to tend to our own personal spiritual, emotional, intellectual, creative, and physical needs resulting from a shorter work week would cause a rippling effect of exponential magnitude. Yes, there are hurdles to achieving this, but the potential is worth investigating. If I’m happier and more fulfilled, won’t that affect everyone around me? And one can only hope that a happier population will result in less crime, stress-related disease, and hateful thinking. Maybe this really is too much to hope for, but it is 2012, after all. Some groups think this year will see the end of the world, while others believe it will be a time for a massive shift in consciousness. Here’s hoping it’s the latter, and that the shift in consciousness leads to planetary harmony, balance, and the alleviation of suffering for all beings, human and animal alike.

A Holiday Story That’s Warm and Fuzzy... Literally Speaking

by Christopher Arnett

Native Foods Cafe

The first days of the New Year have witnessed a tragic accident with a bitter-sweet ending. On New Year’s Eve, Dave and Kerry Gaillard went skiing near Cooke City, Montana. Unfortunately, an avalanche struck while the couple was still on the mountain, burying Dave Gaillard and the family dog, a Welsh corgi named Ole. Thankfully, Kerry was spared and was able to return to nearby Cooke City for help. Sadly, Dave Gaillard did not survive the accident. However, in true holiday miracle fashion, Ole returned to the motel where the Gaillards had been staying, four days after having been swept up in the avalanche! The incredible canine managed to dig himself out of the snow and return to where he last knew the Gaillards to have been. Thankfully, Ole was alive, and Kerry was allowed this comfort during her time of grieving for her husband. 

The search and rescue team were positive that Ole had been buried, but he showed up to the motel on Wednesday exhausted and hungry. The owner of the motel reported that when he first saw Ole, he was just sitting in front of the door of the room where the Gaillards had been staying. Thankfully, the Gaillards’ daughter will not have to finish the memorial she had started making for Ole the very day he showed up back at the motel. 

Check the video: 

  

We are very happy that Ole survived this tragic accident, and our thoughts and good wishes are with the Gaillard family.

How Ancient Do Animals Get?

by Christopher Arnett

Native Foods Cafe

One of the latest stories to hit online news is the supposed death of the chimp who played the role of Cheetah in the Tarzan movies of the 1930’s. The aged chimp was reputed to be 80 years old at the time of his death on Dec. 24. by Debbie Cobb, outreach director of the Suncoast Primate Sanctuary. However, differing accounts are calling the claim into question. Writer R.D. Rosen even went so far as to say that the chimp’s purported identity is intentionally false with the aim of generating press and business for the sanctuary. But in a statement Cobb said the chimp had already been there since the time of her birth, 51 years ago. Unfortunately, any documentation that would put the dispute to rest was supposedly destroyed in a fire years ago. Who knows for sure?

Native Foods Cafe, vegan food, vegan restaurant
 

What we do know is that an 80-year-old chimp is highly unlikely. According to experts and the organization Save the Chimps, chimps in captivity typically have a lifespan of 40-60 years. However, the Lion Country Safari in Loxahatchee, Fla. claims to have a chimp that is 73. So that got me thinking: how old do apes usually live, and what is the longest living ape that we know of?

Native Foods Cafe, vegan food, vegan restaurant

Since we were on the subject, let’s start with chimps. Chimpanzees typically live 35- 40 years in the wild, while reaching a rip old age of around 60 in captivity. If the aforementioned Cheetah really was Cheetah, he is hands down the oldest living chimp that we know of.

Next up, gorillas. Like chimps, they typically live around 35-40 years in the wild and reach 50 or more years in captivity. To date, the oldest living gorilla in captivity is Colo at Columbus Zoo, who just celebrated her 55th birthday on Dec. 22. Happy Birthday, Colo!

Native Foods Cafe, vegan food, vegan restaurant

And how about orangutans for good measure? It seems to be pretty much the same as chimps and gorillas, at 30-45 years in wild, and around 50 in captivity. The oldest orangutan in captivity was a chap named Guas, at the Philadelphia Zoo. He lived until 58!

  Native Foods Cafe, vegan food, vegan restaurant

This is all very interesting, but what some other animals? Let’s take a look at the following:

 • Macaw parrots can easily outlive their owners, reaching ages of 80-100 in captivity!

Native Foods Cafe, vegan food, vegan restaurant

 

• The Galapagos tortoise can live to about 190 years. I’m sure the protective shell helps.

 

Native Foods Cafe, vegan food, vegan restaurant

• Greenland sharks can typically reach 200 years. Masters of the sea!

Native Foods Cafe, vegan food, vegan restaurant

 

• Koi fish typically live over 200 years! All that Zen is doing wonders for them.

Native Foods Cafe, vegan food, vegan restaurant

• Bowhead whales could live up to 245 years! In fact, some of these whales that were studied still had harpoons in their bodies from the 1890’s!

Native Foods Cafe, vegan food, vegan restaurant

 

• And how about an interesting invertebrate? The turritopsis nutricula jellyfish is considered biologically immortal and has no maximum lifespan! (Don’t tell the Real Housewives, or these jellyfish might go extinct in efforts to discover the secrets of eternal preservation).

 

Hope you enjoyed the fun facts. Happy New Year!  ;)

 

Flu Shot or Not?

by Christopher Arnett

Native Foods Cafe

Especially in vegan circles, the idea of vaccinations has been a controversial topic. Are they really necessary?  Do they do more harm than good?  In the winter season where sore throats and runny noses are rampant, who wouldn’t want added protection from the vile flu? Well, let’s take a look at some of the available information on the good ol’ interweb and see what we can find.

Native Foods Cafe, vegan food, vegan restaurant

First, some statistics: between 25 and 50 million people in the U.S. are infected with the flu every year. That’s a lot of flu. And last year, 36,000 people died from complications due to the flu virus. Every year it spreads in the U.S. from November to April, peaking between December and March. And as we all know, the flu is very contagious. It can cause real complications for people with preexisting respiratory conditions, like asthma. It is usually transmitted by droplets of saliva projected into the air by the sneeze of someone who is infected (yuck!). And since the virus can live in the air for three hours, a lot more people can catch it. Not to mention, touching anything touched by an infected person can easily spread it you.

Native Foods Cafe, vegan food, vegan restaurant

Some people may be afraid that they will catch the flu from a vaccine. However, this can’t happen since the only dead strains of the flu are used. The experts say may experience some muscle soreness, muscle aches, or fatigue after the first few days. But if you had the actual flu, the symptoms would be much worse. Getting the shot supposedly lowers your chance of getting infected, and lessens the severity of your symptoms if you do. Because the flu mutates every year into a different form, new vaccines are needed each year to fight the particular strain. Thus, we never build up immunity to it.

Native Foods Cafe, vegan food, vegan restaurant

On the flipside, opponents of the flu shot have a number of arguments against.  Some cite the fact that the pharmaceutical industry is multi-billion dollar industry whose primary goal is to earn revenue. Thus, there is a monetary incentive to promote the use and belief in flu vaccines. They caution consumers against the corporate-sponsored studies on the benefits of the corporation’s own products.

  Native Foods Cafe, vegan food, vegan restaurant

An interview was conducted with Dr. Viera Schneiber in a 2009 interview, a leading expert in vaccine medical data. Her investigations apparently bring to light the intentionally misleading information formulated by the vaccine industry. She cites numerous negative effects of vaccination. These include susceptibility to the disease which the vaccine is supposed to prevent, damaging internal organs like the pancreas, and host of harmful chemicals contained in the vaccine. Some of these chemicals include mercury and formaldehyde, which are known to be toxic. Some even reportedly contain animal by-products like horse blood. With flu shots, people can also on rare occasions develop a severe allergic reaction that affects the central nervous system called Guillan- Barré Syndrom. Yikes.

In the end, it us up to every individual to process the information available to them and make their own decision regarding vaccines for themselves and their dependents.  It can be a touchy subject, especially when sometimes you don’t know whom to believe. As for me, I never get a flu shot. Sure, I’ve gotten sick during an occasional winter, but nothing serious that I didn’t recover from by resting and sleeping and eating properly. The purpose of our immune systems is to keep our bodies healthy, and for now, that’s enough for me. Good luck out there!
