Farmageddon is the story of a mom whose son healed from all allergies and asthma after consuming raw milk, and real food from farms. It depicts people all over the country who formed food co-ops and private clubs to get these foods, and how they were raided by state and local governments.

Joel Salatin is who I've based how I raise my livestock off from. Smart guy with lots of informative videos and books. Another good watch is the series cooked. Tells a lot of why we have so many sensitivities and allergies to today's food.

Interesting flick, will put that on a watch list...sad that it's still a bit expensive to buy only local farm/garden food...it's amazing how much energy one can receive from raw food.. salads, fruits, berries, nuts...

Interesting book!

Lot's of talk about the hazards of some of the pesticides and even chemical fertilizers...still, even some of the organic farming researchers say that there is not yet that much evidence on pesticide hazards to human health because the pesticides evaporate from the plant surface in direct sunlight and should not accumulate in the plant structures...although it has been proven that they can negatively impact the local fauna, from the soil microfauna to even local avian populations...

But...what is a safe level of chemicals in our food...?

Monsanto is happy to experiment on our children.


Doesn't mean we should let them.


I admire Dustin Barca.

Retired pro surfer in Hawaii that has led the anti-GMO movement in Hawaii.

Ran for mayor once I think.

Wouldn't be surprised to see him continue in real public service (not specifically referring to political positions, which are very rarely about public service.)


Using GMO's in Hawaii

= poisoning Hawaii.

I'm confused on GMO"S... when I was growing up, the watermelons had thousands of seeds... today there are none

I used to grow corn... I would have the water boiling, go outside pick it, and cook it, and many times the corn sucked.... today I go to the store buy corn, put it the fridge and days later when I cook it, sweet as sugar...

GMO"S???....

Appears to be.
I've noticed apples cut in half...they don't brown from oxidation. Kind of un nerves me...if it's doing that to our produce, what is it doing to us at a cellular level?
I use only heirloom or seeds garnered from past crops and plant. And I buy produce when I can at grower's markets.


Unfortunately, GMO is here to stay.

i've been a farmer all my life , cropping mainly , and i understand that sometimes pesticides need to be used but a lot of them are residual in the ground and in the plant ...
now ok there are checks and balances on SOME of our produce but a damn lot still gets through !
some of my neighbors were completely unscrupulous with the use of chemicals , even ones that had been banned ! when these are used it completely wipes out the soil microfauna , bees etc ..
these days i'm retired and grow my own vegetables ..i DON'T use canola oil at all because i know first hand whats in that !
and as you say aether , whats a safe level ? i really think we're walking a fine line here .
