No, not laughing at all. Wise move on your part. Did you know that Obama's "Food Safety Czar", Michael R. Taylor, was the Vice President for Public Policy at Monsanto Corp. from 1998 until 2001?
Part of your grocery bill increase is due to the disguised downsizing of products,i.e., you are paying the same money for less product. 16 oz cans are now 15 or less. A package of bacon is now 12 oz instead of a pound so you end up buying more stuff to get the quanity your accustomed to.
Good (real)food is going to cost more, but you will get more genuine nutrition out of it. A lot of 'food' is is relatively cheap because it has so much corn in it. Corn prices are artificially low because it's so highly subsidized.
Keep doing what you are doing and encourage others to do the same. Food freedom will be the key to keeping our other freedoms, I believe.
Thank you.
There is also a side benefit. I had a discussion with some people the other day whom I believe to be your typical ignorant left-winger types about this very subject. They were very interested in hearing about non-GMO food and home gardening. Then one of them brought up Monsanto in a negative tone without actually using the name. It was the perfect opportunity to mention that the guy from Monsanto was made Food Safety Czar by Obama, especially since I gave not a single clue as to my political leanings.
