1992 IBON PHILIPPINES Data Bank and Research Center MELITON The following is an account of the TRAGIC DEATH OF KA MEL, the union president of Nestle Philippines Cabuyao Factory, in 1989 The witness swore the assassin's target was MELITON ROXAS, the labor union president in Nestle Cabuyao. She recalled how the gunman who entered the roadside restaurant of that afternoon of 20 January 1989, immediately approached Meliton and shot him at close range with a .45 caliber pistol. Meliton died on the spot. He was only 34. His wife Norma was then peddling foodstuff for him. She could hardly believe her husband had been MURDERED. She even approached him after he slumped in the floor. "Stop playing around. You're too old for that," she said. But she was suddenly shocked to see his bloodied t-shirt. "Oh God, my husband has been shot!" she cried, "Help us! Help us, please!" Nobody saw the gunman again. But people believe he too was killed. Gunshot was heard minutes after the killer had run across the Nestle compound. About 200 meters away from the plant's security outpost, people saw a man dying. Nobody tried to help him for fear that they might get involved in the killings. Some said the security guard shot the gunman while he was trying to board a motorcycle. But many witnesses swore armed men firing at Roxas's killer. By the time the police arrived, the assassin's body was nowhere to be found. The armed men had taken the body away, dumping it in a back-up vehicle. There was hardly ...

What Is Protein And Why Is It Such A Big Secret?
Does it shock you to learn that most of the food we eat today is not the food our body likes or enjoys? It's not the food it understands or knows how to process. It's not the food that made our ancestors evolve and thrive. It's not the food that our grandmas used to take pride serving. And would then teach us to appreciate, prepare and to cook. So we could pass it on to our own children. It's not the food that is healthy to our body and therefore it is not the food that's healthy for us.
Our food has become all about looks, texture, taste, aroma and presentation. If it passes some unspecified test by a self-proclaimed food expert, we think it must be good for us. In the past it was all about what our body responds to. It was about the right food for our digestive system. That would ensure the smooth, efficient running of our metabolism. So how did we change from our old, healthy traditional diet, to foods that are virtually the exact opposite?
That story began around forty years ago. It began with a phoney scare campaign about cholesterol and diet. It was the beginning of what came to be known as The Pyramid Diet. It was the new diet that would cure cholesterol. It was supported by a burgeoning cereal and snack food industry, and promoted by ambitious people who wanted to carve out a niche on the fringe of medicine.
The rest of us never stood a chance. For the past forty years we have been fed a constant diatribe about the value and benefits of carbohydrates. During that time we have gone from a majority of slim people, to a majority of fat people. All the while, protein has been pushed into the background, devalued and reviled. This is not only crazy, it's dangerous. Protein used to be called the building blocks of life. There is a good reason for that. They build and mend our internal organs, muscles tissue, skin and bones.
Without protein, we don't exist. Yet we are prepared to deprive our children who need it most. So why has this been allowed to happen? There is no money in proteins food. There are no factory mills able to churn out a dozen varieties of various protein products. No protein products are marketed to people who then gradually become addicted to those products. That's not the story about protein. That's the story of carbohydrates.
Today, after a continuous campaign of brainwashing, the average person no longer understands how our body works. How it operates our internal system and what it does with the food we eat. This was once basic knowledge. But it is not our fault. If you throw enough mud, some will stick. Muddied misinformation not only sticks, it goes on to become false dogma. Any dogma, even when false, will be perpetuated.
In another ten years, when statistics predict the obesity epidemic may affect as many as eighty % of the population, there will still be people singing the praises of carbs food while leading their flock of lab rats, towards morbid obesity, type2 diabetes, heart disease colon and bowel cancer. These unscrupulous people will be supported by a multi-billion dollar cereal and snack food industry that has grown and thrived on the back of the millions of carbohydrate addicts who suffer from the addiction.
So in conclusion let's analyse exactly what is carbohydrate, and what it can and cannot do for our poor struggling body. Let's expose at least some of the lies that have been enshrined as dogma.
Unlike protein, carbohydrates are not essential for our survival. Throughout history there have been long periods, including an ice age where people continued to survive and thrive without carbs food. Till the advent of refrigeration, carbs food was seasonal and frequently unavailable. Still people survived and continued to thrive. So what DOES carbs food do?
It provides our body with fuel if and when we need to use some energy. If we don't spend any energy, we don't use any fuel. The body is not able to store fuel. It has only one option - to turn it into body fat. That's the fat that sits on your hips, thighs and tummy. It's the fat that clogs up your arteries and nestles around your vital organs. That's the fat you should worry about because that's the fat that can kill you. It has nothing to do with the fat you eat.
What does that mean? It means the excess carbs food we eat and do not burn in energy, becomes the fat we store on or in our body. Tragically, The Food We Like To Eat Today Is No Longer The Food Our Body Understands - Or Knows How To Deal With!

Breakfast Cereals = Junk Food
At the turn of the Twentieth Century protein was the king of nutrients, needed for health, strength and good energy. However nutritionists of the day such as John Harvey Kellogg began to criticise protein claiming it was bad for digestion, and later protein was also demonised for being bad for the kidneys, increasing acidity and being detrimental to bone health.
Everyone will be familiar with the name Kellogg, who extolled the virtues of carbohydrates and breakfast cereal with the invention of the humble corn flake. Even just making a corn flake is quite a feat of food processing that leaves a piece of corn far removed from how nature intended it. The corn kernels are cooked to the point of going stale, and then forced through rollers to produce flakes, which are then toasted and ready to eat. Consider that this process renders the corn flakes devoid of nutrition so the manufacturers have to add back to the mix a host of B vitamins and other nutrients. You may read on a food label "fortified with vitamins and minerals" as if this is something to be applauded.
I believe Mr Kellogg would be shocked today if he saw his name associated with the plethora of junk foods that are breakfast cereals today. I'm sure this devout Adventist who promoted the cleanest and healthiest way of living would be horrified seeing sugar coated chocolate grains being the staple of many people's breakfast. Research today shows us that even a 30g bowl of cereal may contain up to 11g of sugar. Consider that most breakfast cereals are also high on the GL scale, which means they will cause a rapid rise in blood sugar levels - surely they cannot be marketed as health foods.
Well they are, see how the manufacturers of Special K brand it as a weight loss food, see how Nestle promote the benefits of whole grain cereals or that Shredded Wheat is good for the heart. This is marketing at its very worse, and what is even more alarming is that people believe it - why wouldn't they when they see a beautiful slim women being associated with Special K, or an ex-sporting legend promoting Shredded Wheat.
However, consider what Jonny Bowden calls a human's "factory specified food", it certainly isn't highly processed grains loaded with sugar and salt. I believe these junk foods are contributing (not the sole cause) to our epidemic of obesity, diabetes, insulin resistance and other chronic disease. What's the answer? What is our "factory specified food"?
Now, as I have assaulted all breakfast cereals as junk food (just read the label - they are full of sugar and salt and sometimes covered in chocolate - how could they not be junk food) I thought I would redeem myself by suggesting there are 2 cereals that I would be comfortable with people eating infrequently (this means once or twice a week).
These are porridge and muesli.
As always there are a couple of caveats to this rule. Both of these cereals contain oats, and oats contain gluten nowadays due to cross pollination, so if you are sensitive to gluten - don't eat oats. Instead you could look for a quinoa or amaranth based muesli that you can find in the health food store or simply make your own porridge from a mix of ground rice, quinoa or flax meal. If you are going to cook porridge add a little butter or coconut oil, flax seeds, slivered almonds and some berries to the mix. If you like it sweet add a teaspoon of xylitol or cinnamon.
Also look for brands of muesli that are low in sugar and high in nuts, seeds and coconut slivers and don't be afraid to add more nuts and seeds to the mix.
Don't use soy milk in either of these foods either. There are mixed opinions on soy, and I believe that traditional fermented soy eaten in moderation is fine, however highly processed soy products such as soy milk, soy cheese and soy yoghurt are also junk foods. If you don't have problems with dairy just use whole or semi skimmed milk, otherwise cook porridge with water and use some quinoa or almond milk on the muesli (I know these milks are processed too, but they are not oestrogenic like soy milk).
And don't put juice on your cereals - that is moronic. Why would you pour sugar loaded juice all over sugar loaded grains?
So if cereals are junk food (except porridge and muesli) you might be wondering what I do think is healthy to eat for breakfast. Here are my thoughts on a couple of conventional breakfast foods.
Eggs are a great breakfast food. Forget what you have heard about eggs being bad for your cholesterol or that the yolk bad for you as it is full of fat - this is complete nonsense! Eggs are a great source of protein, essential fats, B vitamins, vitamin D and vitamin A. Eat them anyway you like except fried. Have scrambled, poached or boiled eggs on wholegrain toast or try an omelette with spinach, mushrooms and tomatoes. Just don't eat eggs every day; 2-3 times a week is fine.
Plain whole Greek style yoghurt (such as Yeo Valley or Rachel's Organic) with mixed berries or sliced apple and ground seeds or toasted nuts is another great breakfast. Again this will provide you with some protein, fats and carbohydrates, the added berries and fruit provide fibre and antioxidants and the nuts or seeds provide more vitamins and minerals. Do not eat low fat or fruit yoghurts, these products are generally full of sugar!!!
I also think there is nothing wrong with having a healthy "grill up" once a week, find some good quality organic sausages and some bacon and eat it with poached eggs, steamed mushrooms and grilled tomatoes - yum!
Now I am going to reveal what I eat for breakfast almost every day. Bar the once a week healthy grill up or berries and yoghurt with some ground flax seeds, cinnamon and xylitol (YUM) I eat Meat and Nuts for breakfast.
This natural unprocessed food is what we are designed to eat (Jonny Bowden's "factory specified food"), not processed grains and a splash of dairy. I can hear you going "yuk" but just think about it. Go back a few thousand years and what do you think people would have eaten for breakfast.
Now we can't be 100% sure as we weren't there and don't really have any records from that time (apart from fossil remains and Palaeolithic bone remains - which by the way Palaeontologists such as Loren Cordain have good data suggesting the types of foods our ancestors ate), but there were certainly no processed grains, and people would probably have eaten what they had hunted and gathered the day before. They may have eaten the remains of hunted rabbit, bore or deer; they may have eaten some foraged berries or nuts or other plants, but not a bowel of Cheerio's!
Now it doesn't really matter what meat you want to eat, and when I say meat I mean to encompass meat, fish, seafood and poultry and simply eat a serving that will satisfy your appetite along with some raw unsalted nuts such as cashews, almonds, walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts or even Brazil nuts. You could also eat some berries or other low GL fruit such as apple or pear. This type of breakfast will certainly fill you up as you will get a healthy serving of protein, essential fats, vitamins and minerals and the fruit will give you some added fibre.
I can hear the orthodox medical and nutritional mainstream shouting that this will raise cholesterol etc etc... Well, if you eat just as much seafood and fish as you do meat (which will provide omega 3 fats that are known to help improve cholesterol) and combine this with nuts that are full of beta sitosterols that again raise good HDL: and lower bad LDL cholesterol you should have no problems at all with this. Now there are always exceptions to the rule so just pay attention to your latest blood test results you get from the doctor, but in most cases blood markers for CVD and insulin resistance should improve.
It's important that you don't just eat the same type of meat every day. If you at beef everyday then that might cause you a problem, but if you rotate your foods sensibly you'll be providing a host of different nutrients to your body and your immune system will not build up a reaction to any one food.
Here is an example:
Day 1: Salmon fillet, handful of almonds and blueberries
Day 2: Turkey escallops, handful of cashews
Day 3: Homemade beef patty with pecans and raspberries
Day 4: Chicken strips with walnuts and sliced apple

Famous Chocolate Companies
Almost everyone loves chocolate, from the Meso-American peoples who cultivated it thousands of years ago to the modern day chocoholic. There's a wide variety of choices out there, from low end chocolate flavored bars referred to as "confections" to the priciest dark chocolate truffle, which contains a real black truffle. In between, you'll find every kind of bonbon, fudge, candy bar, and other chocolate treats. Some companies have become extremely famous for their chocolate. Here are a few.
Mars and the Hershey Company are the biggest manufacturers in the world, producing popular, inexpensive candies that are enjoyed by large numbers of people. Other important chocolate makers in this price range include Nestle, Cadbury, and Lindt.
They all make some of the most popular candies there are, but there have been recent concerns over quality decreases and the sourcing of these companies' chocolate, as some African chocolate producers make use of child and slave labor.
Hershey is the biggest company in North America that makes chocolate. Headquartered in the town of the same name in Pennsylvania, this company makes the area smell of cocoa. The town is also home to a theme park - Hershey's Chocolate World. The company was founded in the 1890s by Milton S. Hershey, and is most famous for Hershey's Kisses, the Hershey Bar, and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
Mars is headquartered in McLean, Virginia, and owned by the Mars family. That makes it one of the largest privately owned companies in the US. It's know for the Milky Way, Mars, and Snickers bars, as well as M&Ms and Twix.
Other chocolatiers make their candy for a market willing to pay a higher price for chocolate made from better ingredients. Such chocolatiers as Godiva, Leonidas, and others produce high end chocolates for people who want a truly high quality confection.
There are other chocolate makers that produce even more expensive chocolates, made from beans sourced from single plantations, using no fillers, and using only the best fruits, nuts, and other ingredients. However, they're often not as well known by the average person as the larger distributors.
One chocolate maker that most people think is fictional is Willy Wonka. In this fantasy movie this candy maker had a content to see who would take over as the new owner of a fantastic candy factory. They gave away gold tickets in chocolate bars and the winners came to the factory to be secretly evaluated. This movie was so popular it was remade recently with actor Johnny Depp. Although not a real chocolate factory it was popular and had a chocolate moat in the movie.
Chocolate has a big influence on many of us. While we might not think a lot about it on a daily basis, we'd be disappointed if we weren't able to get this wonderful confection any more. Next time you have a piece of chocolate, whether it's an inexpensive Hershey's bar or a fine, hand-crafted truffle, think about the famous chocolate makers who are responsible for it being there.
