Guest guest Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 >>>>How about getting rid of this industrial food system and return to locally produced foods (including raw milk) where you the consumer personally inspects my farm >>> Absolutely. I think we need to get closer to our food and further away from silly commercials. Closer to the land and to understanding how real food is produced rather than the toxic nutrient deficient food that weighs down grocery store shelves. Not only will it support humanity better but the planet as well. .....sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Great idea, but who will feed the people in the large cities? Rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 The larger cities should have never existed in the first place. They are totally unsustainable and the cost to maintain such inefficiency is astronomical. It was decided decades ago by this government gone mad and the corporations that control it to get the people off the land, thus making them helpless and dependent on the government. Prices were manipulated and " rules " passed so as to make punching a time clock look better or be the only option for small farms. Children were taught since birth that going to college to get a degree, any degree regardless of how pointless it was, was necessary. As farms got bigger and less profitable by following the university/extension/agribiz lies, children couldn't wait to go to the city to make money. Now many of them would like to come back. Small farms were self sufficient and sustainable, or could be, so the poison vendors and fertilizer companies wouldn't make much money, neither would the pharmaceutical companies with all their band aides needed for increasingly sick people and animals. There was a whole industry built up during the wars creating vile poisons that now had to go some where so as to continue making profit. Sell it to the farmers. With that came poison control centers and the medical system monopoly to deal with the cancer and disease that goes with poison agriculture. It worked rather well as the country side has become desolate in many areas of the country. What's the answer? Revive the small farm and bring back the industry! Think of all the creameries/cheese plants, butcher plants, general stores and manufacturing businesses of every sort that have been eliminated. Millions of farms have disappeared to be replaced by corn fields or shopping malls and houses. It's hard to believe what we have lost/given up in this nation. Most small towns are dead and gone, bedroom communities are popping up everywhere creating busy roads as commuters drive back and forth to work and never ending activities. Most " jobs " in this country are pointless or unnecessary any ways. What will they do when this system crashes. In the 30's most people were still on the land and could feed themselves. Now most farmers would starve as all they know how to do is plant corn or beans and douse it with poison. It's doubtful any common sense will prevail in this nation and the big cities will become the biggest blood baths in human history. When the food stops coming the people will realize too late the government god is powerless to save them and doesn't care anyways. It was all about money and control.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 sprawl needs to regroup, tear down a few neighborhood malls, put back a few local small farms to serve a small area of suburbia, so that a group of housing developments can have their own food source coming from a local microdairy and small crop farmers! Back to the family farm concept that would serve a small area. Many of these all over america!! Rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
