I won't belabor the point other than to say this. Government is NOT our friend. There is a movement (yes a conspiracy) led by the Rockefellers to depopulate the world. "economic and political instability on an order of magnitude unthinkable, and unsustainable" is precisely their goal. But dont take my word for it - I'll let HIM tell you.

J: I will read that report, I had not seen it before. I do think it matters who is president, and I do think that things can change for the better. Why? If we continue doing business the same old way, just on the environment front alone, there will likely result economic and political instability on an order of magnitude unthinkable, and unsustainable. How will chaos, famine, huge population dislocations, disease pandemics, etc., benefit anyone's business interests.The world is now too small.

"by virtue of the 90 billion dollar (government) farm subsidy, taxpayers are also subsidizing the cost of foods that are literally making us sick"I rest my case. Google "Kissinger Report" or "National Security Study Memorandum NSSM 200". Population control of third world countries in order for corporations to pillage their natural resources has been official US policy since 1974. This movement is funded and backed by the Rockefeller's and Council on Foreign Relations. Follow the money.

"the world is now looking to America with a renewed hope for the right blend of leadership."Naive Dreamers. I'll believe it when they undo the damage Monsanto has done here and around the world, but they wont because Monsanto's taxes and donations are too important. Think tanks, lobbyists, corporations and banks run the country (and the world for that matter) - five of Obama's top seven contributors were Wall Street banks. BOTH parties are owned - corruption is rampant. Follow the money.

J; Part 5...our present situation, a case in point). And, like it or not, the world is now looking to America with a renewed hope for the right blend of leadership. An America that promotes its interests foremost; within the greater context, the interests of the world, at large.Fred

J; Part 4...would not financially promote food that undermines the public health. If as a whole, everyone has access to affordable healthcare (especially our children, who after-all, represent our national treasure), we may be able to substantially reduce health problems, a huge step in itself toward reducing healthcare costs, overall. Government can't do it all (that's a dangerous notion) but there is an important role for government to play (a dangerous notion to think otherwise;...

J; Part 3...our interests. (Check out the Dan Imhoff Farm Bill series on FOOD NEWS). As healthcare costs continue to escalate, it's not a sustainable situation. Many people are beginning to awaken to the idea, that to really address a host of longstanding problems, we must take a systems approach, to finding the best solutions. Connecting the dots, if the government became directly responsible financially for our health, then it certainly (if acting wisely, and in its own self interest)...

J: Part 2it's a balance, and the pendulum shifts one direction or the other, over time. The point that Mr. Pollan is making, is that when we become sick today because of the food we eat, or for lack of access to affordable healthcare, the government is not directly connected (enough) to the consequences that result. Yet, by virtue of the 90 billion dollar (government) farm subsidy, taxpayers are also subsidizing the cost of foods that are literally making us sick, not promoting...

j:You picked up on one of the most important, & possibly contentious ideas that Pollan expresses on the whole issue of food. There are those who believe that the best government is really the least government, and those who believe almost the opposite, arguing a strong role for government is essential to the continued survival of our society. Like the idea of free markets (markets are always regulated, to a greater or lesser extent), it's a myth to believe there is one absolute position. PART 1

He was doing great - up until the government health care part. Government doesn't give a rip about your health - they would just "pull the plug" on your entitlement."Any government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take it away" - Gerald FordGovernment is not the solution to your problems - government IS the problem. |
