Mitch Miller I

I believe that the cause of many cancers can be found in the food we eat. The food industry puts FDA approved chemicals and preservatives in the United States food supply. I believe some of these additives cause disease such as cancer and diabetes. If you travel to European nations you will find that their foods do not have nearly as many ingredients as in the United States.

The food industry is caught in a cycle that starts with the idea of producing food that lasts a long time on the shelf. More time on the shelf means less waste and more profit for the food companies. They counteract bad flavor results from preservatives with all types of artificial flavors. The result is a lot of chemicals in the United States food supply.

I believe we can break this cycle by uniting pet owners to do a long term study involving their pets. The FDA probably does not conduct these types of long term studies on the chemicals they approve for the food industry instead conducting short term experiments on animals in a lab. Think of the Cause Paws study as a check on the FDA approval process to identify possible causes of cancer and other disease.

Reconsider donating your money to a cancer research fund that usually works to develop cancer treatments rather than identifying causes in our environment. These cancer treatments benefit the pharmaceutical industry that provide the treatments at sometimes astronomical cost instead of for free or affordable pricing. Let’s come together to change the trajectory of the U.S. food and pharmaceutical industry.

The premise of the Cause Paws study is to feed domestic pets organic food with one chemical that was FDA approved for human consumption for the animals lifetime. We would begin with the preservatives used in the Military’s Meals Ready to Eat or MRE’s. The pet owners would be divided into different groups with each group feeding their animal a specific “safe” chemical for their entire life.

When an animal becomes sick or passes away donations to the study will be used to do a barrage of tests on the animal. The purpose of these tests is to identify the cause of death including if it was cancer and where that cancer was located in the body. The data from these tests will be collected in a database and cross referenced with the chemical used in the animal’s food. The study may take 10-15 years before we begin collecting significant data but overall it will make food safer and hypothetically find the causes of some cancers and disease.

The first step in this study is to find a chemical company to partner with to produce the chemicals we find in our food. These chemicals can then be mixed with a meat flavoring and bottled in a spray bottle. These bottles will then be sent to people who want to be enrolled in the study. We will encourage these pet owners to use organic food or food with very few artificial products to improve the quality of our study. The pet owners will spray the “safe” chemical on their pet’s food at each meal time. 

By forming a non-profit for this study we can allow people to donate to pay for end of life testing for animals or even subsidize organic food. Money can also be used to create and maintain a database. I hope you will consider helping me form this study. Half of all sales of my paintings and artwork will go toward starting the Cause Paws study. Together we can change the way our food supply and drug supply operate and find the cause of some cancers.

Most of Mitch Miller's Albums list all of the songs on the front cover with little animations between each. The songs are arranged in their order in a line formation. I like to block out specific words within the song titles. If read line by line, top to bottom, left to right, I form new messages with the original song titles. This one was painted with the American sports royalty/ actress Rooney Mara on my mind. I have an interesting proposition (non-carnal) for her if we ever met.

I remember sipping scotch with my grandpa and admiring his piece. He would always get nervous whenever I would hold it up to the firelight. When he passed he specified in his will it go to my daughter. It was until late one night she decided to take it out of its framing and I realized it was a vinyl record. My grandfather had never seen one in his life.

Billie Eilish received her first Mitch Miller painting on her 22nd birthday. She took it out of the frame and found several pages of handwritten notes tucked into the vinyl pocket of the album cover. The notes detailed a revolutionary new music streaming system that utilizes traditional music distribution methods and empowers musicians to choose how their music is used. Billie knew that she could not digitize the comprehensive plan on how to transform the music industry and vowed to take it to every musician she knew in it's original analogue format.

Rooney never called, maybe you will.

When I got out of solitary confinement in 2011 I used what little funds I had left to shoot a short film. The idea was to be entirely analog and the title was "M". It was a message from the future I received in jail. I wrote the message using pen and paper, paid a multicultural cast to act out one minute segments of the message, and recorded them addressing the camera using 16mm film and magnetic tape.

I was never able to afford to send the film to the lab to be processed. I have listened to the magnetic tape but it has never been digitally recorded. I am wondering if the Beth's wold like to partner up to release this message.

If you were my key grip, camera person, sound engineer, and animal wrangler on one of my projects you would be my everything for that project. Your videos are great and surely require more than one person. Thanks for all of the great art and look forward to the show!

Never got a call but the show was great. Maybe the magnetic tape was too much. I have a gift for Beth. When I was young, Sam Neill was one of my favorite actors. I was sorry to hear about his battle with cancer. I actually taped a made for TV movie he was in called "Merlin" on VHS. I would have to do some digging but I think I can find it. Hit me up and the tape is yours. Consider it modern art. You know I always have projects and missions attached to anything I do. Why not inquire?
