It is with great sorrow we saw the passing of our delectable swiss chard plant this week. Once leafy and promising bittersweet goodness to be mixed with garlic and oil... this magenta and green plant has now been reduced to but a stalk of its former self...
The culprit - Chuckles, the neighborhood woodchuck... vengeance will be served! (Since, obviously the swiss chard will not!)
The latest government control plan is to take over your home garden, roadside farm stands, and small farms that grow heirloom crops.
Read the book Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life written by Barbara Kingsolver, her daughter & husband. Not only is this book entertaining, educational, and insightful, including many fine recipes and tips on gardening, but it also shares with the reader how the big three giant seed conglomerates like Monsanto have destroyed the vegetable/seed industry with modified seeds, and have created virtually a triangular “tri-opoly” in the farming business! The food grown from these seeds is poor quality, lacks proper nutrition, contains byproducts & chemicals that are harmful to humans and animals, even some people are ALLERGIC to them –
THINK: Why do you think there’s a commercial campaign out right now to make High Fructose Corn Syrup seem “okay”? Because with all the corn that farmers have to grow (b/c it’s one of just a few government subsidized crops!), there’s more corn than the market demands, meaning farmers have to turn it into SOME marketable product, and VOILA: High Fructose Corn Syrup!
THINK: Is it any coincidence that we’re noticing so many more people with Celiac disease and other food allergy diseases in the past decade? This could be the result of growing up eating foods made primarily with these modified seed/plant products.
Now, the government wants to control your backyard garden, farm stands, and small farms! Don't be fooled - they are pushing through this bill quietly while everyone is distracted by what is happening on the international stage. All you have to do is look at who is behind this bill (and who their spouse is - oh, he's the head of Monsanto! How surprising!) to see the deception! Read the following articles to find out more.
