I think we all know there is a LOT of manipulation going on in our food supply.

In my recent (but not exhaustive) researches, I have run across the following as well:

1. ACLU Using Food Pantries to Undermine Voter ID in Wisconsin

2.Energy - Record Food Prices Linked to Biofuels
from Technology Review published by MIT
The WTO seems to be blaming governments and others for this drain on the world food supply.

3. World Trade Organization ruling threatens US food labeling law

I also did a search just for fun in Wickipedia just to see what the proponents of these policies might be saying:

5. World Trade Organization
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Trade_Organization

The excerpt that caught my attention (Scroll to “Agreements”):
The Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures — also known as the SPS Agreement was negotiated during the Uruguay Round of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, and entered into force with the establishment of the WTO at the beginning of 1995.

Under the SPS agreement, the (emphasis mine – texokie:)WTO SETS CONTRAINTS ON MEMBER’ POLICIES RELATING TO FOOD SAFETY (BACTERIAL CONTAMINENTS, PESTICIDES, INSPECTION, AND LABELING) AS WELL AS ANIMAL AND PLANT HEALTH (IMPORTED PESTS AND DISEASES).

6. The WTO and Food and Agriculture Organization
http://www.wto.org/english/thewto_e/coher_e/wto_fao_e.htm

Outlines collaboration of WTO and FAW in the context of the SPS Agreement. Also discusses the FAO/WHO Codex Alimentarious Commission

7. I received an ad come-on for investment opportunities from a Newsmax.com subscriber. It is a video with no time markers or fwd/rew buttons. I DO NOT advocate what is being sold here, but the presentation on the implications of what the Federal Reserve is doing to our food and groceries prices was compelling as I watched it, and in my view actually quite excellent as a fundamental review of what has been and could be happening in the future with inflation.

Most here are probably quite familiar with the general contents, but some of the examples help with envisioning the future if things go sideways IMHO.

Probably would be good for someone just waking up and trying to catch up. The thing lasts about an hour, which about made me crazy! I do not usually spend that kind of time on viewing videos, much less sales presentations, but this seemed exceptional for those who may be inclined.
