Women Power Feminists Redefine Senior Housing


Fifteen years in the making, the Babayagas’ House—a feminist alternative to a retirement home—has opened in Paris. This self-managed social housing project is run by its community of inspired female senior citizens that want to maintain their independence. “To live long is a good thing, but to age well is better,” says 85-year-old Thérèse Clerc,


who initially conceived the project as a means of combating the idea that growing old is an illness and that retirement homes are a kind of prison. “We want to change the way people see old age, and that means learning to live differently,” she says. The five-story building houses 25 apartments located at the center of montreuil,


just blocks away from shops, a movie theater and the metro. The project cost just un- der $4.4 million and was funded by eight public sources, including the city council. Two similar projects are now underway in Palaiseau and Bagneux.

Mm-mm Good Campbell’s Endorses GMO Labeling


Campbell Soup Company recently became the first major food corporation to support the mandatory labeling of genetically modified ingredients and will support the en- actment of federal legislation to establish a single manda- tory labeling standard for foods derived from genetically modified organisms (GmO). A company spokesperson says, “With 92 percent of Americans supporting the


labeling of GmO foods, Campbell believes now is the time for the federal govern- ment to act quickly to implement a federal solution.” The company says that if a federal solution is not reached, it is prepared to label all of its U.S. products for the presence of ingredients derived from GmOs and seek guidance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and approval by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The company also has pledged to remove artificial colors and flavors from nearly all of its North American products by July 2018.

Salmon Scam Farmed Fish Mislabeled as Wild-Caught


The nonprofit Oceana reveals that salmon, America’s favorite fish, is often mislabeled in restaurants and grocery stores. They collected 82 salmon samples from restaurants and grocery stores between December 2013 and March 2014 and found that 43 percent were mislabeled. DNA testing confirmed that the majority of the mislabeling (69 percent) consisted of farmed Atlantic salmon being sold as a wild-caught product. “Americans might love salmon,


but as our study reveals, they may be falling victim to a bait-and-switch,” says Beth Lowell, a senior campaign di- rector with Oceana. “Not only are con- sumers getting ripped off, but respon- sible U.S. fishermen are being cheated when fraudulent products lower the price for their hard-won catch.” Kimberly Warner, Ph.D., the


report’s author and a senior scientist at Oceana, observes, “While U.S. fisher- men catch enough salmon to satisfy 80 percent of our domestic demand, 70 percent of that catch is then exported, instead of going directly to American grocery stores and restaurants.”
