Yes, I know some people have already posted about organic food, but I think they didn’t go far enough. I think we’re used to thinking about this the way we’re shown to think about it and the way we’re shown is not at all sensible.
Putting known poisons on and in your food, forcing you to eat that or pay more to not have the poison is blackmail. Actually, if you think about it, given that people die from cancer from round up, for a specific example, and they knowingly continue to use it in food production, the word here is MURDER.
We’re simply used to seeing people accept it and nowadays if we get sick, we’re actually blamed for not ‘choosing’ to buy the more expensive and harder to find organic option. As if that makes it okay that the other ‘standard’ option is poison.
This has to change immediately.
We already know how to grow food without pesticides and chemical fertilizers, etc. That’s not special ‘organic’ practices, that’s normal. That’s how humanity has always grown food. These chemicals are the new thing, it’s just that it’s been a couple generations since it started, depending on how you count it, and that makes it seem normal.
Please, I hope we won’t focus in on round up because I mentioned it. It’s ALL of the chemicals. It’s all the GMO stuff, the chemical fertilizers, the pesticides, the toxic oils and gums, inverted hydrolyzed whatever substances of any and all sorts that are unnatural and harmful. All of it. Reading the back of a package of what’s supposed to be food is an experience in the unpronounceable. People rightly take up the fight against one substance, which is good, but then even if the government will regulate that one, they replace it with something just as bad or worse.
How can a government that is at least claiming to be benign allow this to happen? Their job is to look after exactly this sort of thing, to coordinate the details of running our civilization, for us, not themselves.
