Food, Inc. (2009)
3 Comments
The current method of raw food production is largely a response to the growth of the fast food industry since the 1950s. The production of food overall has more drastically changed since that time than the several thousand years prior. Controlled primarily by a handful of multinational corporations, the global food production business – with an emphasis on the business – has as its unwritten goals production of large quantities of food at low direct inputs (most often subsidized) resulting in enormous profits, which in turn results in greater control of the global supply of food sources within these few companies. Health and safety (of the food itself, of the animals produced themselves, of the workers on the assembly lines, and of the consumers actually eating the food) are often overlooked by the companies, and are often overlooked by government in an effort to provide cheap food regardless of these negative consequences. Many of the changes are based on advancements in science and technology, but often have negative side effects. The answer that the companies have come up with is to throw more science at the problems to bandage the issues but not the root causes. The global food supply may be in crisis with lack of biodiversity, but can be changed on the demand side of the equation.

Europe is a bit more resistant to GMO products but just last weeks the wall against GMO products is slowing breaking down from lobbyists.
You need to check out the “world according to Monsanto”. That documentary is far scarier. As you are aware, GMO seeds are hybridizing with natural maize. It is moving like wild fire. To most people, they do not understand what that means when I say that, they tend to draw a blank look.
When the GMO seeds “mate” with God created natural Seeds, the natural seeds will eventually go extinct. Since GMO seeds need the original DNA blueprint to create new genetic attributes, decades down the road, there will be no natural God created seeds left as the GMO monsters would have spread like wildfire across the world. The only seeds and plants left will be the GMO monstrosities. Which is why Bill Gates and his illuminati buddies created the doomsday vault which houses millions of the Worlds seeds. Monsanto is an engine for the mass starvation that is to come in a couple of years.
This also means, the elitist will control the world when they are the only ones with the seeds. Seeds will be worth more than any amount of gold in the future. Not Gold. Seeds. Those who cannot see this, will die from starvation, this I can assure you.
Through Stalin, Lenin, Hitler, Mao experiments, they know starvation is the FASTEST way to kill large populations. Watch the Katyn documentary and you’ll understand.
How do you kill 6 billion people? You starve them to death.
Scared yet?

Like it says…we choose with every meal.
We CANNOT turn a blind eye anymore.
Food CAN hurt you, so we need to be careful about what we put in our bodies.
That old saying could not be more true “You are what you eat”
If you READ labels, you will find mostly ingredients that are NOT food. Make a difference, and eat a homemade meal with half a dozen ingredients, instead of processed food with 3 dozen ingredients, …most of which are NOT found in any garden, on any farm or farmers market. Since when did this great country start having diets with NON FOOD ingredients. No wonder we are an overweight nation, with sky high levels of obesity, diabetes and numerous health problems.
DIET IS EVERYTHING…you ARE what you eat…..so if you wanna BE healthy, start by eating FOOD, and not additives and preservatives, dyes and hormones.
EAT WHATS GOOD FOR YOU.
Its whats NATURAL.
