Congress Again Favoring The Big Food Growers Over Small Growers
Congress has recently caved under the pressure of big food company lobbyists and
has legislated a heavy burden of inspectors that will inhibit the efforts of small local farming.
Congress and Wall Street have decided that it is better for third world countries to take over agriculture because all our efforts should be concentrated on things like banking and technology.
It is an awful thing they have done. For one thing its not working. Lots of people are unemployed and for another, the bankers messed up.
And they dont know anything about food and nutrition.
It was actually a good alternative for people with land to raise food to sell to other people in their area. But big food companies dont want us to have this alternative.
But it would be better for all of us.
Did you know that just 6 hours after a fruit or vegetable has been picked half the nutrients and plant enzymes are gone?
In fact most people are so unaccustomed to even getting ANY plant enzymes they will get an upset stomach until their bodies adjust to a normal diet again.
You will have to let your legislators know they serve you the taxpayer, not big business. Its the only way you can get a good healthy diet.
Its ironic that Washington knows they have a really big deficit that is growing every day, partly due to medical expenses and lots of sick and obese people.
But they dont do the things that would make people healthier.
They dont know or care that food that travels half way around the world before it gets to the consumer is lacking in nutrients just because of travel time.
And Congress has lots of evidence that much of the food we are importing, especially from China is contaminated and unsafe.
And its interesting, too that the statistic about what happens to nutrients and plant enzymes came from the local county agricultural extension office.
Yes, one government agency is apparently in direct conflict with another government agency.
And we are all victims of a Congress and a government that is woefully ignorant about health and nutrition or any other scientific topics.
They have been bought and sold by big business and Wall Street. They cant even connect remotely with the concerns and difficulties of the people they are supposed to represent.
They work for and listen to big business lobbyists.
We pay the price of their ignorance and greed.
But can we pay the tab?
Many people are marrying and becoming parents later in life because they dont feel able to support a family until they are older.
Then they are also overweight and have all the health problems associated with obesity.
They get sick, maybe even die and still have young children.
Who is going to raise their kids if they dont live long enough to do it themselves?
If some agency takes over the job, will they care for the kids that way the parents want?
Any social worker can tell you, probably not. Most government agencies cut kids off at 18, before they are educated enough to find good employment or mature enough to handle lifes surprises.
Its scary.
We need better representation, term limits and pragmatic solutions like jobs for Americans and local agriculture.
Being able to feed people a healthy diet is a strategic advantage and a necessity for good health. But it also matters for the strength of our society.
For Congress to ignore this basic necessity is incredibly short sighted and stupid. Its one more reason being ignorant about science is dangerous. Its amazing how dumb sophisticated people can be, isnt it.
Farm kids know important things about science.
But Congress and Wall Street dont know anything about it.
City sophisticates might end up costing us all way too much. If they actually knew as much as they think they do it wouldnt be so bad. We may lose everything catering to big businesses that only care about making money fast and robbing consumers.
