Big Brother

My mom told us back in the early 80s that the middle class was going to disappear, but I had trouble believing her.

"The Sky is Falling!" and all that.

But as I have gotten older and (hopefully wiser) I have begun to swing around to her point of view.

As we as a nation sit and watch "Celebrities" on Tv rushing to cut their hair, or make the next "big deal", the powers that be in Washington are working to take away our freedoms.

From the things we buy, to the shows we watch, to the food we eat.

Food poisoning happen more and more often. But the media doesn't tell us the reason for what happen, they instead feed us more Pop Stars gone bad.

The tabloids are winning.

Raw milk hasn't been available in stores in decades.
Last year when Zelda and I tried it for the first time, everyone we told to a person's first comment was "Raw Milk is So dangerous!".

How do they know?
When's the last time they got sick on Raw Milk?

Now I ask, When's the last time you got sick on bad food?
Waterburger made me very ill two years back.
Do we ban Waterburger?
Folks have DIED from fast food, do we ban fast food? (we should)

I believe that we as a "Modern" nation have forgotten, or just don't think about the fact (Hey, Britney is showing her thang and losing her kids) that, we as a species have survived for tens of thousands of years on Raw Food and even that Raw Milk.

(Breast milk ain't pasteurized.)

Was pasteurizing of milk brought about because people were regularly becoming sick from Raw Milk? Or was it because milk was moved from the back yard and into the shelves of the grocery stores where it sits in trucks and store shelves for weeks at a time and was going bad?

I'll have to research that one.

What they don't tell you when you buy that Extra Pasteurized milk, is that, when fed to calves, they'll DIE.

The US government is pulling one over on us.

We the people are nothing but "Consumers".

And we'll buy anything they feed us...

The reason more and more people are getting sick from Food Poisoning is because in the industrial age we now live in, 90% of the food we eat across the nation passes through a hand full of processing plants.
One plant gets infected, half the nation gets the runs.

Instead of fixing the problem, the Government is making it worse.
One of those Worse "Solutions" is the national animal registration act.

(from the www.usda.gov/nais web site )

To protect the health of U.S. livestock and poultry and the economic well-being of those industries, we must be able to quickly and effectively trace an animal disease to its source. When a disease outbreak occurs, animal health officials need to know: Which animals are involved in a disease outbreak Where the infected animals are currently located What other animals might have been exposed to the disease By choosing to participate in NAIS, you will join a national disease response network built to protect your animals, your neighbors, and your economic livelihood against the devastation of a foreign animal disease outbreak. Take the first step - Register your premises today!

By diversifying the food chain and eating closer to home, local farmers=local food=local problem, we could eliminate the "Problem".
Our money would stay in our cities and continue to work locally as well.
As it is now, it gets shipped off to Arkansas and California...

We would all win with local food, and the icing on the cake,
it would taste a Hell of a lot better...

Were farmers go, we all go ...

***
What the NAIS act does, is if you buy a chicken (which is no longer allowed by your local city ordinance) to raise for eggs and Sunday dinner, all on your property, is require you to Register it with the Federal Government.

A CHICKEN!!
