Degeneration Nation: Connecting the Dots Between Factory Farms, Roundup, GMOs, and Fake 'Natural' Foods

What's in that box of food on the grocery shelf you plan on feeding your family for dinner tonight? Maybe you can look on the label.  Maybe not!

And, that would include thanking your government.  And, every one's favorite, Obama for selling you down the toxic river that goes on and on with no end.

     After decades of trying to reform public policy on food and farming, including an intense four-year battle to force mandatory labeling of GMOs (rudely terminated in 2016 when Congress and the Obama administration rammed through the outrageous DARK Act), food activists and conscious consumers find ourselves wondering “what’s the use of lobbying the government?”
     Do we really think the Trump administration, the Republican Congress, and farm state and Establishment Democrats care about the toxicity, exploitation and environmental destruction of our food system?
     The culinary directive from Congress and the White House this summer goes something like this: Don’t worry. Shut up and eat your Frankenfoods, cheap junk foods, and factory-farm meat, dairy and poultry.  Don’t worry about Monsanto’s Roundup or Dow’s neonic residues in your food and water. Don’t worry about the dubious fare at your local supermarkets, including thousands of products fraudulently labeled or advertised as “natural.”--Ronnie  Cummins, Organic Consumers Assoc.

Does this look like a source of food?
I suggest you get to "Know Your Farmer"

(Note: This is the first post in an series of what will be original articles on the subject of "A Solution to the Food Crisis: Know Your Farmer".  It will be edited in the near future with an introduction and over arching framework that will stress that we already know the way and yet we must also know the colonizer.  Keep in touch and please comment or add content.)
