Food, Food, Food, Food, FOOD!
I think it's important to realize that in this day and age food is much more than just food. By controlling the access and availability of food large corporations and government chart the course of civilization around the globe. Long gone are the days of growing gardens and making preserves. Long gone are the days of traditional knowledge in the hands of the people. Long gone are the rural family farms.
We have to think about this reality of big box business and global food distribution... the food crunch is coming, anyone not aware of this reality should open a newspaper.
If we're not careful one day we might find ourselves part of the millions of people participating in food riots around the world. What would you do if tomorrow your Super Grocer was left with empty shelves?
Food has become a strategic weapon in the world today... and we've all given ourselves up to corporate leadership. I just hope they have good intentions in mind...
peace,
