All posts by George Walters

George Walters is a Canadian columnist and author with more than forty years of writing experience. For over twenty years he has written a weekly column for Postmedia Network — Canada's largest newspaper chain — never missing a single week, publishing fifty-two stories a year. Combined with his work in Reader's Digest Community Voices, World News, Country Living, The Country Register, and farm and rural lifestyle magazines across Canada, he has published well over two thousand stories drawn from everyday life. He writes about farm work, fishing, old trucks, and the kind of people you only find in small towns — but just as likely he'll hand a voice to a weathered telephone pole, or turn his eye on something happening in the world today and tell you exactly what he thinks about it. No subject is off limits. If there's a story in it, George will find it. He has been called a philosopher of everyday life, a description that came up more than once during his television appearances over the years — and it's not hard to see why. His writing has a way of making the ordinary feel worth sitting with. He is the author of eleven books, including yearly short story collections and the Clay Moretti Files mystery series. Clay is a fifty-year-old private investigator who drives a 1967 Ford Galaxie, smokes cigars, and operates by a code the modern world gave up on a long time ago. The cases are present day. The man handling them is not. All titles are available in paperback and eBook on Amazon. Together, George and his wife Ruth have also created Elmer Finds His Way, the first in what he hopes will be a long series of children's books. Ruth did all the illustrations, as she has for every one of George's books — and beyond that she designed and painted the covers as well. Her work is woven into every page of everything he has published. A few words from readers: "I pulled up a kitchen chair and read your story three times." "You have a way of making a person homesick for a place they haven't been to." "Thank you for writing things that make old people and kids feel the same way at the same time." All my titles are available in paperback and eBook on Amazon.ca here.

Genetically modified foods (or GM foods)

Genetically modified foods (or GM foods) are foods derived from genetically modified organisms. Genetically modified organisms have had specific changes introduced into their DNA by genetic engineering techniques. These techniques are much more precise[1] than mutagenesis (mutation breeding) where an organism is exposed to radiation or chemicals to create a non-specific but stable change. Other techniques by which humans modify food organisms include selective breeding; plant breeding, and animal breeding, and somaclonal variation.

Now with all this information on hand for the life of me I can’t see why any one would even think about promoting it or buying it.  The writing is on the wall folks.  The big corporations have made trillions of dollars for years now on making and selling pesticides and pharmaceutical drugs.  All are being brought into ones system either through what the eat, smell or breath, injected or taken, like medicine.   We are the only countries in the world that says it is safe for us to put all these poisons into and onto our body.   Thing is the big corporations now, not mentioning any names, have seen the writing on the wall.  Folks are switching to organic foods and veggies.  So now they can’t make as much money selling pesticides and things.  So….they not wanting to loose their money source now brings in Genetically modified foods (or GM foods).  Now they are able to inject anything they want into our seeds, plants and much more.  They can now get back to making millions as now they can control what we are eating. In other words they can make your body do what ever they want.  That is not good.  Don’t be fooled folks, stand up for your rights and when you get to buying your seeds and plants this year, take the time to read the labels, ask questions, and if it says GM Modified Seeds or Plants, don’t buy them.  And tell them the reason why.  Being that you want control of what you put into your body, not some money malingering pharmaceutical company, or who ever.  My Opinion Only

GM Mosquitoes

Scientists believe they are closer to being able to change the DNA of wild mosquitoes in order to combat malaria.  Sounds pretty good huh? Well let me tell you, if we keep on trying to play with Mother Nature in herself, we are asking for trouble.  I can’t for the life of me see how folks in their right mind think this is a good thing.   Well….. guess that says it all, they aren’t in their right mind.  Between GM Food and now GM insects and animals, it won’t be long that us humans will be on the low end of the food chain, mark my words.  The writing is on the wall folks.

Maple Syrup Fights Cancer

Are you looking for a natural solution to reduce the risk of diabetes and slow down the growth of cancer cells?  Your search is probably over because recent studies have shown that maple syrup holds the key to these problems.

US researchers have found that maple syrup has the ability to substantially decrease the risk of diabetes.  The syrup also showed great potential in slowing down the growth of cancerous cells.

Maple syrup has thirteen active antioxidant substances.  These antioxidants were previously unknown but were discovered only recently. Because of these antioxidants, researchers have firmed up that maple syrup has a great potential in fighting cancer growth, diabetes, and infections.

Maple syrup can serve as your tasty alternative in fighting cancer and diabetes.  There are many anti cancer foods today like blueberries, tomatoes, broccoli, and carrots.  However, recent studies have shown that maple syrup is more effective against cancer compared to other anti cancer foods.

Laboratory testing results also show that the syrup is more potent compared to the maple sap. It is also ideal to use the pure dark syrup rather than the lighter syrup.  Dark syrup has high color oxidation. This is the reason why darker maple syrup should be preferred.  So if you want a better alternative to fight cancer and diabetes, then your favorite maple syrup is a good option.

Powassan Maple Syrup Festival

Well I just had to mention here that our day at the Maple Syrup Festival in Powassan on April 16th was fantastic.  I also want to thank those that called and invited me to come.  It as a very busy day, a steady stream of folks dropping by to buy books , shake hands and say hello.  A lot of hugs were given out also. I was amazed at how many folks came by to see my wife and I, it sure gives me a good feeling knowing so many folks are enjoying my stories and of all ages too.  Steve Hardy and his lovely wife from the North Bay Nugget, a very good friend also dropped by, they took a few pictures and we had a good chat as we always do.   So all in all what can I say, other than, thanks folks.  It’s folks like you that keep me writing and wanting to write.  Look forward to seeing you all at my book signing at Gulliver’s Books & Toys in North Bay Ontario on June 18th Fathers Day weekend. Going to be a great new book!!!
