Okay but the context is that both Left and Right have introduced regulations and practices that corrupted our food sources.

There are now practical reasons to turn to organic (not that this term means much) and naturally grown product. The reality is, ALL of our seeds available on the market have been genetically mutated, and farmers are restricted in hot hey grow, what they grow, and when, in a system that forced subsidies on them, or puts them out of business. Most of our crops are under contract of corporations that are up to no good.

This is where the left and the right should be able to find some middle ground.

A good film on the topic is called King Corn. It’s usually available on Netflix watch it now. It’s Left leaning, but tolerable. They do tie Clarence Thomas and others to Monsanto, but it’s deserving.

I’m all for voluntary, individual self-sufficiency. I’m not about to wade into the fever swamp of paranoia surrounding certain agricultural conglomerates. Food that you have grown yourself tastes better, is fresher and likely is better for you. There’s also a sense of accomplishment. It’s a great skill to have, and perhaps even a necessary one going forward. But, you teeter on sounding rather conspiratorial and legislative about it, and I will not join you. Are you sure you belong here on Free Republic?
