Local Breweries Revitalizing Utah Rural Towns

May 30, 2023 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

Economic Stimulus When it’s done right, it can turn an economy around; it can help the working class; it can revitalize local areas to help independent small businesses flourish. But when it’s done wrong, it widens the gap between the rich and the poor. From a national economic perspective, it seems that through rampant inflation we are now paying for our stimulus checks that … [Read more...]

February 28, 2019 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

More people die and end up in emergency rooms in Utah on red air days than any other day.

Total Eclipse in Utah

August 21, 2017 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

Millcreek-UT—Rarely spoken in our popular vernacular, the language of  pagans, at  the Millcreek Senior Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, consisted of many "oooooohs" tones followed by "ahhhhhhh" sounds. The pagans rose their faces to the sun while wearing masks and gazing heaven bound, presumably hoping that Phaeton the son of Helios would make a clear sign to them that this was … [Read more...]

The History Behind Monsanto’s Assault on Mexico’s Corn

June 8, 2017 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

Searching for the "impact that GMO corn has had on Mexico" I came across this interesting article from Regeneration International. In 2009, changes in Mexican law allowed biotech giants like Monsanto to conduct trials of GMO corn in approved regions of the country. Two years later, in 2011, Monsanto and Syngenta asked for a permit to plant GM corn in several states in … [Read more...]

This past summer, Utah Stories toured our fine state to examine agriculture on farms both small and large to answer some basic food questions: How is our food produced? Where does it come from?
