Urine-vited to a pee-cycling workshop with the South Sound Food Systems Network (SSFSN) and Evergreen’s Reciprocal Agriculture Project.

Monday, October 19th, 5:30–7pm

Evergreen Organic Farm, The Evergreen State College

What to bring: rain gear, layers, good shoes, a water bottle, and a headlamp. We’ll be outside for the first 45 minutes, and it’ll be getting dark by the end. Snacks provided.

Getting there: park in Lot B ($4 for 2 hours) and take the 10-minute trail to the farm (directions included towards the end of the video). Please leave the limited farm parking for people with limited mobility. If the parking fee is a barrier, the SSFSN will cover it.

That bright red in your candy and yogurt is squeezed out of tens of thousands of crushed beetles.

Carmine comes from the cochineal insect, and it takes roughly seventy thousand of them to produce one pound of dye.

It shows up in candy, yogurt, juice, and countless other colorful products on the shelf.

Federal rules only require the label to say cochineal extract or carmine, nothing about insects.

Your food and water are loading your body with arsenic and heavy metals and chlorella is one of the only things that pulls them back out

Heavy metals like arsenic lead mercury and cadmium build up in your body from rice water fish and everyday food and your body has no easy way to get rid of them

Chlorella is a green algae with a cell wall that binds to those metals in your gut so they leave your body instead of getting reabsorbed

Study after study has shown it helps the body excrete mercury lead and arsenic which is something almost no other food can do

The real fix is not eating the metals in the first place so start with clean local food and let a few grams of chlorella a day clear the rest

Bug protein just quietly slid onto European grocery shelves inside your pasta.

The European Commission authorized partially defatted house cricket powder as a legal novel food ingredient.

Cricket powder is now turning up in pasta and snacks under ingredient names most shoppers do not recognize.

Skip the mystery protein and buy pasta from small local makers on Localize.

A cheap cup of hibiscus tea did something a lot of blood pressure pills only promise.

Researchers at Tufts gave people with elevated blood pressure three cups of hibiscus tea a day for six weeks.

Their systolic blood pressure dropped more than five times as much as the group drinking a placebo.

The people who started with the highest readings saw the biggest improvement of all.

People line up every year for the Culver’s deep fried cheese curd burger, and it is a seed oil bomb.

The CurderBurger tops a burger with a giant curd that is battered and dropped in the same canola oil as everything else in the fryer.

Buy raw cheese and grass fed beef and build a better version at home for less.

Trade the fryer for the real thing. Find local raw cheese near you on Localize.

The government prints an exact number for how many bug fragments are legally allowed in your chocolate.

The FDA’s own Defect Levels Handbook allows an average of 60 or more insect fragments per 100 grams of chocolate.

Peanut butter is allowed an average of 30 or more insect fragments per 100 grams under the same document.

Buy closer to the farm and cut out a few processing steps by shopping local on Localize.

Vanilla flavor on a label can legally mean a squeezed beaver gland and the FDA is fine with it.

Castoreum comes from a scent gland near a beaver’s tail and it naturally carries a vanilla like smell.

The FDA classifies it as safe and lets companies fold it into the vague catchall term natural flavor.

Skip the mystery ingredients and shop labels you can actually trust on the Localize app.
