Distressing news, y'all:

So this means no organic meat and dairy in a few months/years (the world over eventually). Ok. I do like to use alfalfa for sprouting but red clover is readily available and has the same nutritional profile so I'll switch. Sad to lose a staple of the animal kingdom's food source.

get yourself some and start growing yourself some non-gmo alfalfa stock !

It will not last, it is notorious for blowing around cross contaminating other fields of alfalfa. That's the point, I'm sure.

Well, more and more people are finding ways to step out of the system and self-sustain. We'll all just have to wait around until the sickies die off from their rotten lifestyles and then the planet will belong to the healthy folk again. Sigh.

I hate this stuff. I feel my only defense mechanism is to bury my head in the sand and pretend it's not happening. I really don't understand why safe drinking water and food aren't a priority for everyone. Making us all fat, sick, infertile, and dead doesn't sound like a good business model.

It seems that *most* people today are "fat, dumb & happy", to coin a popular phrase. Most people are too self absorbed in their own selfish desires to be concerned about the bigger picture.

Plus, it is all about taste; if it tastes good, loaded down with msg, saturated fats, trans fats...the list goes on...that is all most seem to care about.

and..in another thread on here ...."they have drugs for that".

That line of thinking amazes me; eat whatever junk you want, live whatever damaging way you want & then take drugs to prop your body up...works for big pharma....

Yes, sometimes you think "they" are doing it (enabling us to eat, drink and breathe unhealthily) on purpose to 'us', so they can make a lot of money from all of us getting sick. But then you realize they eat all that crap themselves, so you know they're just plain stupid.

That is the part I don't get...you would think "they" would be "smarter" than that...but then again, most of them have faith in drugs, are rich beyond belief, know they can't take it with them when they die...so...

might as well live the high life by profiting off of everyone else's diseases while there here, right?

Oh...guess I do get it after all...

Ugh. It reminds me of Thomas Midgley, the chemist who gave us leaded gasoline and refused to go near the stuff except when giving demonstrations of how 'safe' it was when he knew it wasn't. He eventually retired due to ill-health from exposure to lead and died when he strangled himself on some of the apparatus to treat his conditions, but not before giving the world the gift of CFCs. If they guy weren't 70 years dead, I'd have a hard time believing GMOs weren't more of his brilliant work.

The people doing the hands-on work of producing these food & drink analogs are just the front men. I suspect that their higher-ups (much higher) know these things are poison. Yes, I think there's a Plot. I am a conspirary theorist.

this year im gonna start planting dense hedgerows around the perimeters of my husbands family farm (hopefully with coco's help someday ) to stop/slowdown blow over of pollen from less savory farms

short of building walls and a bubble over the whole place im afraid there is not much else to do but fight fight fight the government
