Farmageddon : The Film about the Unseen War on Family Farms
Director Kristin Canty has made a film about something I am most concerned with. Our right to have access to pure, healthy food that has not been stripped of all its natural vitamins and nutrients. The fact that she has four children, and was able to find time to make this powerful film is a huge testament to her desire to get us the message.
The fact that hardworking, decent folks are having their farms destroyed and their lives annihilated because they aren’t playing by the rules of the industrial chain, is simply appalling.
The Story:
I have a friend who has a child with some health issues and to get him on the road to recovery she fed him nutrient filled goat milk products. To get these contraband items though, she had to meet with the farmers in a clandestine manner, as if she was buying narcotics. The fact that we have to acquire clean, unprocessed food in such a way is tragic. The e-coli bacteria that just ravaged Germany, was found in the industrial like farms, not the individual family farms we are trying to support. The mass produced government sanctioned farms here and abroad are so saturated with bacteria, that antibiotics are pumped into all the animals as well as the finished stripped product. The agenda of these farm closures happening as is shown in the film above, is about profit not our health. The government is terrified that this movement will continue to grow and supply will switch to independent folks.
I want our government to realize that there is a revolution occurring here and it is prevailing. We are all waking up to the fact that unpasteurized, untreated, unbleached foods are accessible and we have the right to consume them. Thank god for places like Rawsome in Venice or the Co-op Market where we can buy some of these items.
Oh and that friend who had the ill son, well he is now completely healed and cured from the change in his diet!
OMG, do you see whats occurring in Syria? In spite of a brutal government crackdown, the demonstrations continue
