Our food is poison.

It keeps decreasing because only massive farms can be profitable under the industrial model. Any small farmers are squeezed out of business. At the turn of the 20th century, 50% of the population farmed. Along came urbanization, convenience, and heavy industry, and you get the current situation of few people owning vast swaths of land.

The main fertilizer was shit based, but never human feces (if the farmer knew what the hell they were doing). Manure based fertilizers utilized cow, chicken, hog, etc. excrement because they produced lots of good, usefully shit. Fertilizer based from human shit is a modern phenomenon and should not be utilized. Ancient cultures never used their own feces to fertilize their fields, and modern agriculture would do well to observe their example.

Glyphosate anyone? GMO crops are nothing but clever marketing and toxic excuses for food.

You and I might know this, but others might not. That's the reason for this whole reply, to teach others.

CO2 isn't the only has used; all hydrocarbons in the atmosphere can be sequestered, though CO2 is the primary source. And I agree with you: red meat is actually good for you, high cholesterol doesn't cause heart disease (actually protects against it), and saturated fats are also good for you. Why did indigenous cultures make butter for millennia if it was bad for them? Our ancestors weren't idiots and they knew which foods were nutritious and healthy.

Every 'primitive' (I prefer original) group had a diet that placed great value on meat, even if there was very little. However, all animal products have this same effect. The ancient Swiss and other groups from the Alps survived primarily off of dairy products, simple rye sourdough bread, fresh greens during the right season, and very occasional meat, with a focus on organ meats.

The most healthy groups focused on animals products. The African tribes that subsisted on animals did so almost entirely on cattle blood and the products from it. The ones that had greater amounts of plants in their diet were dominated socially and physically by the tribes subsisting in animal.

Other groups, such as Malaysians and Polynesians, used jungle products and subsisted mostly on seafood.

In short, you are correct, only all animal products are important, not just meat. The modern system of primarily plant based agriculture for consumption is both unnatural and unsustainable. These products are easier to manipulate, store, and produce, and this is why Big Ag and the government are so obsessed with preserving this awful system.

Btw, monoculture systems are really inefficient. Most of the crops produced today are for feeding animals and ethanol/biodiesel. We would use 1/3 (yes, one-third) of the land to produce the same amount of animal products if the land were in permanent pasture. 60% of the corn produced today is used for ethanol. So when seed, fertilizer, and chemical companies use "feed the world" as an excuse to increase production, know that they are lying through their teeth. There is plenty of food in the world, but it isn't sent to where it needs to go because it isn't profitable.

There is a reason the indigenous peoples ate large amounts of walrus blubber, fish, and organ meats (mostly liver and brains) - they couldn't make as much nutrients from sunlight so they depended more on premade forms from animals. And yet they survived and thrived in this hostile environment through proper nutrition, ancestral knowledge, and the eating of nutrient-dense foods.

FarmerGD · 2020-08-06T19:20:07+00:00

There are roughly 12 nutrients used by most plants:

Major nutrients: Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium

Secondary nutrients: Sulfur, Magnesium, Calcium

Minor nutrients: Iron, Manganese, Chlorine, Boron, Zinc, Copper (if I remember correctly)

The key to stabilizing the Earth's climate lies through regenerative agriculture focused on building soil organic matter through integrated animal and plant ecosystem management. Organic matter is mostly Carbon, and this is taken from the atmosphere. Most mono-cropped soils have less than 1% organic matter, while pasture soils have 5-6% and virgin prairie has over 10%.

The stereotypical cow is the Holstien-Fresian. While these cows produce large volumes of milk, their milk has less nutrients and the cows themselves have boring personalities. Of the six major milking cattle breeds, Holstiens are the most abundant, followed by the Jersey, whose smaller size, nutrient-rich milk, and playful, intelligent personalities make them popular as family pets and producers.

That enough? I tried to make it varied.

Why do you think the government subsidizes this version of agriculture so heavily? Damn right it's intentional, only the farmers themselves really believe that they're helping the world. I'm a farmer myself, so I have a lot of experience with this issue.

FarmerGD · 2020-08-06T17:23:32+00:00

A major factor contributing to this is the dramatic increases in yields. The same amount of nutrients per plant is being divided across two to three times as much product as they were in the early 20th century. This reflects the movement of the agricultural industry towards quantity rather than quality. Regenerative agriculture, pasture farming, and sustainable practices can reverse these effects. But, industrial agriculture cares nothing for the well-being of the people it serves and will continue to maximize yield at the expense of the world's health.

Your right; the issue isn't gluten itself. Our ancestors consumed regular, gluten-filled bread for generations. Some things have changed: most ancient breads were sourdough in some way, and these bacteria helped break down some of the gluten before we digested it. The grains they used were also more nutritious and grown on less depleted and degraded soil. These factors, combined with your correct statement regarding the destruction of a healthy gut microbiome, produce our current health situation (at least in part). The best way to restore gut health is through dietary changes: consuming raw milk, fermented foods (such as sauerkraut, kefir, and kombucha) pastured meats, and animal fats combined with nutrient dense foods (liver) is a diet that can restore failing health and body balance. As the amount of environmental toxins continues to rise and assail our bodies, having a healthy, natural diet becomes increasingly important.

I'm an organic farmer who believes in agroecology, animal integration, soil regeneration, and pasture farming. I can say first hand that the Big Ag chemical and seed companies only care about money and monopoly. Their products destroy soil and the life within it. As the soil degrades and the life dies, the crops become more dependent on these synthetic and toxic chemicals. It's a vicious cycle that can only be broken by natural processes and practices. The glyphosate is, like all pesticides, a potent antibiotic. This means that ingesting it can destroy the microbial balance of our digestive tract. Moreover, the body has not developed a way of removing this artificial toxin effectively, as we have not evolved to counter it. Glyphosate disrupts bodily function and can lead to cancer. Considering how powerful Big Ag is (and its sister industry, Big Pharma) it's not surprising that this situation occurred. Despicable, but not surprising.

Read her whole book. It provides damning insight to the truth behind the CIA MKULTRA program and how satanic cults hold great sway over Australian government and politics. Stories of pedophile politicians, cover-ups from bureaucrats, dirty cops, elitist funded intimidation, and propaganda institutions paint the grim and true picture that is reality is Australia. This is the book that started my journey into the realm of conspiracy and truth. It takes little imagination to translate the occurrences and corruption in Australia to any country, including the US. Considering how the CIA is our intelligence program, this would seem likely. The book is a must read for any serious conspiracy theorist, free thinker, future politician, or concerned citizen. WARNING: Not for the faint of heart. One must be fully prepared for the secrets and realities this book reveals.

So being a theist is now a radical, extremist position? Of course no theist would believe this argument. Religion is a fundamental part of human nature, and Christianity is but one of many. Atheism is technically a religion. If you lack belief in a higher power or life after death, then the prospect of dying would truly be terrifying. This reality of secular society is continuously ignored through the use of distractions, and this grinding migration away from religion in any shape clouds the truth of morality. If there is no base for what is right and wrong, how do you know which is which? If this benchmark is destroyed, the media and its elite funders can make the general populace into willing slaves, as they will never be taught that slavery is morally wrong and disgustingly unjust. This is already happening in American society, and I'm sure it isn't just us.

Excuse me, didn't Clinton win the popular vote in 2016? Riling up left-leaning voters likely won't make a difference, as most places where these nonvoting voters are already Democrat controlled. If more people voted Democrat, but these people already did so in Democrat controlled states, how would this make a difference in the electoral college, as these Democrat controlled states have an all-or-nothing elector system? If they want to improve their chances, they need to steal states they don't control. For every left voter they rile up, they affect a right voter also. The Democrats want nothing more than slander: they know they can't win outright with sleepy Joe, so they have to demonize their opponents draw support. However, those that they are trying to steal see their efforts as bullshit, at least largely. The Democrats, in an attempt to draw voters from across the aisle, have instead made themselves look foolish, underhanded, and destructive.

There is a lot of science that supports the view that vaccines are ineffective, unsafe, and downright poison. They're chock full of heavy metals (aluminum) and don't provide lasting immunity. Natural infection provides this lasting immunity and nourishing, pure food allows the body to do this. But, since most modern humans live off of junk food, sugar, and poorly-produced food, these diseases can wreak havoc.

It's pretty obvious that I disagree with your point about vaccinations, but you have an extremely valid argument. The seeding of false conspiracies has discredited some truths and fostered beliefs in complete lies. It is up to every reader to research and decide their own beliefs.

I understand. It's the same around here in Southern Ohio. If you want, you can still be connected but use nothing. You can always use the city power to balance your system if you produce too much demand. Is the water tax high?

Everything you said is true. Have you tried collecting rain water? You'll start with a purer source and it will take less effort from your system to purify it.

FarmerGD · 2020-07-01T03:11:39+00:00

Your best solution is a water purifier. Bottled water is wasteful, expensive in the long term, and is usually just tap water anyway. Good luck on the journey of health and healing. Though we are few, we can find strength in each other. And that is what makes us strong.

My friend, I'm not sure if you want to know. You'll find more than nitrates: potassium salts, glyphosate, 2, 4D, and others. The Southern coast on the golf is particularly nasty.

The rise is indeed due to the increasing amounts of estrogen mimicking compounds that continue to taint our existence as a species. The most difficult part of the situation is to know the truth and yet see those severely affected follow like sheep into the clutches of the medical racket. They are nothing more than Walking cash generators to them. And they are often the ones pandering these artificial hormone mimicking compounds. See a trend here? Not to mention the agriculture industry is intertwined with the pharmaceutical industry. As an organic farmer, I can attest that the amount of vaccines used in even organic animals is outright disgusting and ridiculous. Non-organic farmers use antibiotics as growth hormones (look up payleen). The pharma industry makes so much money off of agriculture, and agriculture in turn provides the raw material for their sickening hormones and drugs. As a producer of animal products and an experienced agronomist, I can verify that the taint is disgusting and ever-present.
