Apocalypse Now? To hell with debate, what can the simple folk do?
.......................Already word is leaking that the overuse of soil, fast growth commercial fertilisers (and who knows re GM crops) our food has 75% less of the minerals and nutrients of the same foods grown in the 60s and 70s. Without these essential minerals, we can´t metabolise many of the vitamins in our food… they are just wasted. That means even if the starch, fat and protein levels are high, a mass of starving brains. Could this add to the burden of those who inherited tendencies toward gut, immune and metabolic disorders?
Today we have 1 in 150 children on the autism spectrum (2008), a percentage of which have these health issues (note, there are also those with autism who don´t have significant health issues). And then our societies have never been so polluted, fueled largely by our own consumer greed driving manufacturers to pour formaldehyde, lead, mercury and fluoride into our waterways, the same one´s which feed the foods we eat. Fluoride is sold commercially as a rat poison. It strips the lining of the gut. Yet we´ve bought propaganda that it´s ok to stick it in our mouths daily on the basis that it can harden tooth enamel. Sure, minimally, but at what cost if we swallow it? An epidemic of gut disorders? Vulnerable groups with metabolic disorders whose already vulnerable detox functions are overwhelmed and end up brain starved and over run by stored toxins? Twas greed which did it guv…ours.
We can change these things, if we understand them, if we know we are not pawns in this, we are active participants and we can choose what we support, what we buy, how we adapt. We are not powerless.
