By Robert Tomkinson. One of the best solutions that we can do to solve many of the problems that we are dealing with in recent years is to grow our own food. This has a much greater impact than most people realize. With large scale commercial farming there is 10 times more energy from fossil fuel use going into our food production than there is in the food itself. This is reflected in the high prices at the grocery store which are a result of the industrial farming cost,transportation/fuel expenses, the production and transport of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides, and profits from sales.
Buying our food at the grocery store supports the corrupt big agricultural farming industry and companies like Monsanto which have an agenda to dominate, control and monopolize all food production, and in the process, putting small independent local farming out of business and drastically reducing the nutritional quality of our food.
The increasing use of highly toxic pesticides and herbicides are creating chronic health problems in humans, animals and the environment. This in turn supports the agenda of the pharmaceutical industry which, behind the scenes, through the "revolving door" practices of our corporate controlled governments, control the regulatory agencies that would(should) normally not approve the use of such toxic carcinogenic chemicals.
