Important information about the U.S food supply

[Diana]

This is a YouTube Ted Talk about the current state of the U.S. food supply. The speaker is a mother who has done extensive research into big business. Anybody that eats outside of their own gardens might want to watch this (especially in the U.S.). Description of the video below, pulled from YouTube:

Robyn shares her personal story and how it inspired her current path as a "Real Food" evangelist. Grounded in a successful Wall Street career that was more interested in food as good business than good-for-you, this mother of four was shaken awake by the dangerous allergic reaction of one of her children to a "typical" breakfast. Her mission to unearth the cause revealed more about the food industry than she could stomach, and impelled her to share her findings with others. Informative and inspiring.

Isn't this a pharma/oil country? I know the plan is to send our manufacturing base out of the country. Been in the works for years.

I have read with great interest your article Fred and the replies received here.
However I feel that there is another important element to “food” that many do not give credence to.
I am a “sensitive” who has been able to feel the energy of different foods for a long time. So even with some “organic” foods I have left them on the shelf due to the “energy” of the food; either from the grower, the electromagnetic effect in the shop, negative energy output from shoppers themselves etc!

So I purchase food (I wish I was in a position to grow my own!) by the energy of the food. By also using the addition of kinesiology/crystal pendulum I can pick which foods/condiments/spices etc. are not good for me. My body “tells” me what it dosn’t want me to put in it.
Milk is a big NO, onions are out, bread only if sourdough etc.. So far this system of going by the energy of what is not good for me works.
However, you can also use the “energy of your thoughts” (a blessing?) to clear the energy of organic food that has been contaminated along it’s journey by negative energy.

The same applies for where we go out into the public – keeping our energy positiive, stay away from the negative – and know when your body says rest or “make a run for it” away from people!! Clearing the energy of the “virus” showing around us the same as our food helps.
Our body is the biggest indicator for telling us what it needs. Everything is comprised of “energy” – our own bodies will show us what food energy it requires to keep us balanced.

One of the most straight-forward, honest, clear, and chilling exhibitions dealing with our food system I have seen. This hit home for me very hard.

I think the best way to reach people with this information about our food system is the same way she was reached: through their children. I would easily say that over 75% of my own customers are in the exact same boat. They learned the startling facts that this woman has so clearly put forward and thought about what that meant for their children's health. It's actually the only reason I am involved in food production the way that I am, because my mom had a very similar awakening as this woman when I was a small child and has since then been very proactive in figuring out the implications of what food is put into our bodies. I inherited a deep sense of care about food quality and purity from her and it is why I am a farmer today.

She presents her points so eloquently...I wish every person in America would watch this.

Thanks so much Diana.

I saw this a while back, it was so informative. I think I should watch again. Thanks for posting Diana.

Austin, I love having a small garden in my yard, but haven't been really successful at growing food. Thank God we have professionals like you! I am thinking about raising chickens for eggs, and getting involved in the CSA again this year.
