Food - The Beginning of The End

Charlies Parker

It is not difficult to understand the growing outcry and movement against Genetically Modified (GM) foods. At some point in mankind's time the manipulation of Nature would inevitably catch up with corporate greed, arrogance and what will end up as one of man's ultimate self inflected demise.

I have often wondered at what point the destruction of the human food chain would surface, apparently it is now.

Over the past several years various articles have appeared along with various individual whistleblowers. With some of these whistleblowers I would suspect that their conscience had finally gotten to them. The realization that they were, and are, participants to their own deaths has now taken effect. If there is an upside to this insane coarse of action the very same people who are committing this form of genocide are also to fall victim to their own evil's. Nature is a funny critter, it will find a way to survive and to correct the wrongs regardless of man's corrupt attempts to interfere with the coarse of the Universe.

I thought it appropriate to show others what happens when you try to outsmart Nature. In this instance, it appears that Nature saw fit to start a kill off of what does not belong here on mother earth. I am not picking on anyone in particular, this example just happened to show up. Have there been others? Yes. Will there be more? Yes. Is the GM food chain begun its own self destruction? It does appear so. Reason, it is not a sustainable life form. In the photo you see what happens to GM food. I am not a scientist but it appears to me that this orange could not continue on its own. What the black area is I do not know. It does not appear to be mold, it does look like a 'dead' area. I can tell you that this bag of oranges was just purchased at a local Safeway.

After this discovery I decided to go to the company's web site to have a look. I suppose I should not be suprised at the companys policies. But, it is unsetteling and I know that I will not purchase any of their products in the future. The company? One of this countries long time favorites, Sunkist, Inc. While reading their web site I came across this:

Quote:

"Competition Competitive Landscape for Sunkist Growers, Inc. Demand is driven by federal agricultural policy programs, food consumption trends, and the grain and oilseed export market. The profitability of individual companies depends on maximizing crop yield and minimizing disease risk. Large companies have advantages in highly automated technologies and access to the latest in seed and crop technologies. Small operations can compete effectively by harvesting heirloom, non-genetically modified (GM), or specialty products. The industry is labor-intensive: average annual revenue per employee (operator and hired laborers) is $100,000. To read the full description, subscribe now."

It is clear that Sunkist, inc. is concerned about only one thing (what's new), profit. I know this is no surprise to most people, it is not new to me either. I do hope that the investors (non-contributing zeros) in Sunkist are consuming their products. They readily admit that they are a GM substance producing company. I say substance producing because, you see, it is not food. I suspect it contains nominal nutritional value and I also suspect that, if tested by an independent laboratory, the results would be dismal at best.

Also most fascinating is that Sunkist considers the competition "Small operations (that) can compete effectively by harvesting heirloom, non-genetically modified (GM), or specialty products" to operate "effectively". I have a question here, does that mean the companies that grow heirloom, non-GM and specialty foods are more efficient? Maybe.

The human body can not, nor was it designed to, process synthetic food. As many are coming to realize, processed food substance does not break down in the body. It simply can not be properly processed and, over time, will clog up the liver, kidney's, bladder, pancreas and any other place it can sit and rot. Long term effects of this consumed garbage are a plethora of diseases. Add toxic medications, sugar free sweetners (aspartame poisioning), and lack of vitamin supplements the life expectancy of many drops to less than 75 years. Current death rate ages are dropping like a rock in free fall. Teenagers are having heart attacks and cancer rates of people well under 50 are soaring like a rocket. At this juncture we still have an option. Start growing your own heirloom food and support you small local rancher who is desperately trying to survive. Life used to be simpler, maybe we should have left it that way.

Tell a friend.
