Food Poisoning is Becoming Standard
Whether it is E. coli with beef, salmonella with chicken, now various poisonings reported in produce, we simply do not know where the next food poisoning scare is going to come from. There have also been canned food concerns along the way. I remember a peanut butter recall. I get particularly troubled on "food recalls." I'm thankful that they announce them, but I also know, food should not be compared to faulty machines. A recall on a vehicle, although it's assumed there has been a tragedy, is something that is easily identified and manageable as soon as it's reported. Food, on the other hand is not.
Just the fact that there are food recalls, tells me, we may not know about all of them. When buying a vehicle, appliance or a power tool, I realize there may be a problem in assembly, a faulty mechanism or just flat, every so often, a lemon; but food should be a different matter. Bad food, cannot be "repaired" or replaced so easily.
What this really has me wondering, since food poisoning is becoming so common place; is this. How many people are feeling achy or tired or nauseous, have a headache or a myriad of symptoms, but don't realize they've ingested something that was carrying some sort of bacteria? How many of these newly named syndromes and obscure symptoms could be caused by bad food or bad policy concerning the food. There are so many laws for organic farmers raising and selling food, but so few reports of illness caused by independent small ag. Perhaps the legislation being passed isn't really addressing the root of the problems at hand.

Water as a Commodity
The Department of Natural Resources is claiming some interesting authority and rights regarding water in this country. Seems our government considers water a natural resource, and I can agree with that much, but it would also seem our government believes it has the ownership of natural resources. I see natural resources more as a provision from our Creator, not a commodity to be regulated by our government.
There's more on the subject of water and don't think for a minute the bottle water has been just a convenience, it's part of the plan. Remember when the programming began that we needed to filter tap water? Then the bottled water started showing up everywhere.
The CEO of Nestle believes water should be like food and considered a commodity . . . I share his interview in the link below.

Although everyone should have access to clean water, not everyone makes that choice, and some have no choice.
Most in our country treat water as if there is an endless free supply of clean water, regardless of the way we manage it. Seems our government will make the choice based upon the usual variable of money, so I am expecting at some point that water will be treated as a commodity.
There are already two factors in place to indicate this direction. First, of course, the money backing the concept, and the fact that our government has declared water to be a natural resource, so there is already the DNR and conservation department for brown shirt enforcement!

The Fond Memory of Roastin' Ears
Natural, genetically unmodified roastin' ears are truly a part of American history. That's not to say there isn't a backyard garden somewhere with some heirloom seeds planted, but "they" say corn can cross pollinate up to two miles away. We do know much of our prepared food includes some sort of corn syrup or corn meal, and that corn is raised on a large scale corporate farm that plants modified seed to withstand all the herbicides and pesticides.
I remember when my grandchildren were small, the thought that crossed my mind as we prepared our evening meal. This would some day be just a memory. The thought didn't pertain to all of us fixing and cooking together, although they have long outgrown sitting on the counter and licking the beaters, but it was more of a prophetic knowing that some day we would no longer be enjoying that food we were eating. The thought was, the food would be changed.
At that time, the economic collapse was becoming obvious, I just figured some things in life would no longer be affordable or available by supply and demand, and then there was the whole gasoline issue. Well, as the times have continued to unfold, many of the factors in that thought have come to pass, but not exactly in the way I had first considered it. The food has certainly been changed.
