Genetically modified food is designed to genetically modify you

We can’t live without eating & the government knows that. There is always a reason for their madness. They just don’t think we’re smart enough to read between their lines.

Very educational in a fun simple way. I’ve been a vegetarian for over 2 years now and feel really good about it. It is not that hard and even if each person starts by cutting back meat consumption by 3rd it will make a big difference.

It’s a good cause and all, but this is a perfect example of survival of the fittest, which is how every other animal species functions and maintains longevity. No matter what we try and do, there will never be complete equality among the human species because that is simply not how a species can function.

Interesting, and baffling all the same. The continent with world’s largest supply of natural resources is the “poorest” and majority of it’s inhabitants have been and still are malnourished; it’s best I stop now. I’d be writing an essay if I shared my thoughts fully…

It begins at home…our family is 100% organic, and most of what we eat is sustainable localy grown food. We can for winter. Supporting local agriculture is a step in the right direction, but there’s more. As a board member of the local food partry, I see that food is a commodity, even though we have ample land out here and grow plentiful harvests right around the corner. Further, what the poor get in their food-baskets is usually canned and processed, which is of lower nutritional value and which had to travel to get to oour rural area. I am working to change the way we do buisness out here by using USDA grants to collaberate a farm to table program, which recognizes the need to make communities “food sustainable and self sufficient.” I am also running for public office in an effort to speak out about the isues that face poor and lower middle class families. Get involved…start a community food project….gosh, this doesn’t even speak to the massive problem that exists around the world, but it is a place to start.

I think this a very complex topic that requires deep reflection and can be explored in many directions. It all depends on how you view the world and your place in it because it not only impacts the poor but all of us. The middle class also feel it equally with the need for quick solutions to save time in an already short day. We eat unhealthy fast food which is a form of starvation of the necessary nutrients for good health. I must reflect on this some more.

Learned this in class but the pictures are cute. A lot of it is common sense (no pun intended), but none of it is going to change for the better in my lifetime. I can still try though eh?

“why white folks focus on dogs and yoga, while people on the low end try to ball and get over?” -Common, The People.

embrace diversity and cultural understanding, educate, and pursue love. That’s some hippie shit to say, but how can you love someone else if you can’t love yourself. Your body is a temple, protect it. Your life is a gift, embrace it. Charity starts in your head, manifests in your heart, solidifies as a thought, and only then is breathed to life. It all starts with a thought, right?

if the quote above is a question, what is the answer? Is it a verse to solidify a thought, an excuse to perplex the truth, or is it to be interpreted as an inspiration?

Making a change starts with you. It’s selfish in nature and it only effects you.

You.

Behavior modification is a psychological process that is set in stages and not immediate. It starts with one word…. ‘No’. What could you say no to, to begin to change your behavior? Let me keep it relevant to the quote above.

If one, perhaps a ‘white’ says no to caring about a dog, or doing yoga what is the result?

A stray dog, a dog that gets rabies and carries diseases to other stray animals, and maybe a child it mauls, seems in reality a fairly important problem. The problem isn’t the animal, it’s the people responsible for the animal. Why? Dogs are domesticated animals, domesticated by human beings for work, companionship, and in some cultures for food. Animal control is about compassion for the animal, but where would all the ‘dogs’ be if it wasn’t? Would they just disappear, or would they invade the population, carry diseases, and cause destruction. The density of stray animals is highest in low socioeconomic demographics. Why?

I want a puppy
The puppy is grown now, I don’t want it anymore. or The dog food cost too much, and maybe I’m not ball’in to feed a dog, so what happens next.
Well we’lll take it to the shelter, maybe to the vet and have it put down, but wait that costs money, so maybe just maybe we’ll just put it out side and let it become a burden on the world instead of me.

or…
I want a puppy.
NO.

Yoga? Exercise or obesity? The US on a whole is loosing this one. What about yoga? Improving self, concentration, mental capacity as a result of increased circulation and vasodilation, a bad thing?

Let the ‘whites’ from above say no to this yoga they do? Is that going to change the world, feed the poor, or just disadvantage that individuals personal health situation.
say no to self? is that what Common is trying to get across.

Common is by far one of the greatest, life changing, and inspirational individuals in the world… but not immune to critical thinking and question?

How does the global food market starve the poor? It starts with you and will end with ‘No’. Say no to it, say no to ball’in, say no to ‘tying to get over’, and get over!

Misery loves company, and enthusiasm is contagious. If you can’t lift yourself up, how can you lift someone else. It stats with you.

I’m 30 and have exercised off 55 pounds in the last year as a result of discovering I had high blood pressure and liver enzymes. I’m a collage student working on an associates degree to further my career and the prosperity of my family. I receive financial aid for my tuition, currently at no cost to me pending graduation or academic separation for repayment. I will take care of and love myself first giving me the ability and education to take care of my family, and once established in security both spiritually and financially I will give like no one else, and truly like I never have given before. Change is hard and starts with a ripple to make a wave. You can!

Thanks for reading
A Lang
