Bill Nye the Science Guy Seeking Restraining Order Against Ex

Bill Nye, who hosted the PBS series “Bill Nye the Science Guy,” is seeking a permanent restraining order against his ex-fiancĂ©, Blair Tindall. He claims that she tried to poison his vegetable garden. He says that she went to this home on September 3rd dressed in black and carrying two plastic bottles filled with a solvent and thinks that the solvent was poured on his garden, from which he eats the food he grows. He wants the restraining order to keep his ex away from his house and to keep her from contacting him.

His ex-fiancĂ© is the author of “Mozart in the Jungle” and a former concert oboist. She admitted to pouring two bottles of weed killer in his garden. She says that she only meant to hurt his garden and not him. She also says that she has started counseling and is not a threat to Nye. A hearing is scheduled for December 20th for the case.

Why You Should Buy Organic Foods

Organic fruits are products that are free of synthetic pesticides, artificial fertilizers, irradiation, and biotechnology. They are more nutritional because plants produce more vitamins and antioxidants when grown without using pesticides and fertilizers. Organic farmers usually conserve energy and help to protect the environment by growing their foods organic. Not using fertilizers and pesticides reduce pollution of groundwater. Organic agriculture reduces the greenhouse effect and global warming. Organic meat comes from animals that were raised without being fed antibiotics or growth hormones.

When you are shopping for organic foods you should look for the USDA seal. On meat and dairy products, this seal tells you that you are buying antibiotic and hormone-free products.
