How Secure Is Americas’ Food Supply? Current Events Beg Your Attention!

What Crisis? – you might be tempted to say, the shelves in the Supermarkets are abundantly stocked and the government will guarantee the food supply. But there are developments in the world that should be cause for concern, For instance the Bee population in the US has collapsed by 75%, that will make real Honey a Luxury food, but the  more serious consequence is the lack of pollination in produce. The cause is controversial and highly political, probable suspects are GMO-crops and a pesticide from Bayer. Whatever, this event is indicative of how industry is rushing to market unproven methods and untested chemicals, regulatory agencies that are protecting the industry they are supposed to regulate and the inability of governments to safeguard our food supplies.

Food is becoming increasingly short supply, nutritionally challenged, loaded with non-removable toxins and bland in aroma. Rich countries are colonizing poor countries farmland, causing food shortage in developing countries. Saudi Arabia is harvesting in Sudan and Ethiopia, Qatar in Kenya, and Libya in.Ukraine, Japan in the Philippines and Vietnam in Laos – just to name a few. In addition to the obvious concern of neo-colonialism, the produce will log enormous food miles, which means substantial loss in nutrients and added toxic preservatives. The US has long outsourced food production to Mexico and imported contaminated produce of all kind. Developed countries are tempted to export food production to countries where ecological concerns are a non-issue and safety standards are not enforced. Smithfield Foods made headlines for their high yield animal factories in Mexico, when the swine flu virus broke out in April.

Meanwhile Monsanto is using its political ties, fueled by intense lobbying, to monopolize the entire crop industry. Its genetically engineered seeds grow produce that can’t reseed and wipe out the natural crops. Silently, Monsanto is buying up Seed companies around the world, in an effort to control the global food production.

If you believe concern is unfounded consider these facts: this year the South African farmers suffered a catastrophic gm-maize growth failure over a 82,000 hectares area, the plants failed to produce any seeds. Monsanto cited a “production failure” and “underfertilization”. If Monsanto owns all the seeds, then they hold the key to global famine. In addition, we know that Monsanto engineers seeds to use more fertilizers, pesticides, herbizides, fungizides – and those toxins make into the produce – and into your body. Since the farmers have to buy new seeds every year, means in effect that corporate America controls the global food production.

It is simply too risky to do nothing and leave the consequences to the government. Every household should buy essential non-hybrid seeds of basic produce and plant them in their garden, no matter how small, and/or indoor.
