Nathan BinfordOnce you start looking, it’s everywhere. Nearly all the products we use in our daily lives are trying to kill us. From food to personal hygiene to cleaning supplies, our world is polluted with chemicals from the industrial processes which produce the goods we use.
Is just this what’s necessary to support an overpopulated and overburdened world? Not at all…this is the product of decades of work by some of the world’s largest companies, in a race to control the supply of our basic hierarchy of needs.
This is just what happens when human beings isolate themselves from the participating in their supply chains -when you buy everything in a box at a store, you have no idea what you’re putting in your body, where it came from, or how it was prepared. Modern society has worked hard to tear down the local relationships which, historically, have always supported basic human needs in favor of industrialization and globalization. But we’re starting to understand the cost of this choice, both physically and spiritually -the loss of our autonomy and our health.
The most egregious examples of this plot for global control of food, water, and other essential resources can be found in the industrial agriculture industry; namely with the behemoth Bayer-Monsanto (an unholy alliance of the giant corporations in the pharmaceutical and industrial agriculture markets). And while companies like Bayer-Monsanto aren’t the exclusive source of evil in the world…they are possibly the ones we most urgently need to be aware of.
And that is because their footprint is so massive, and their products so integrated into our supply chain that recent tests have shown their highly carcinogenic and otherwise toxic chemicals to be present in nearly all our foods and goods, as well as the vast majority of water and air samples, human tissue, and our urine.
Even worse, these companies are also doing their best to own the very DNA of our food supply, committing various crimes around the world to replace heirloom seed stocks with their own. Sadly these expensive GMO seed subscriptions force farmers to grow crops which are less pest-resistant and produce less nutritious fruits and vegetables.
All of this trickles down to the consumer in horrifying ways: inferior foods, poisons in our foods, water, and the goods we use to care for ourselves and our families, the loss of plant species, suppression of organic alternatives and small-farms, etc… It all translates to control over your food supply -and diet is essential to health.
In this episode I discuss the alternative to this corporate death machine and its central supply chain and how taking personal responsibility for your supply chain enables you to re-enter relationship with it -to make it sacred once again.
