CHAPTER 8 FOOD SOURCE
As I believe I have mentioned earlier, I happen to live in a community predominantly composed of Amish families. I mention this because the Amish do very well in life without televisions, smart phones and the many other trappings of the Internet Age. As a group, the Amish are thriving because their free time is spent creating life affirming projects that are a great benefit to the local community. You’ll never find them gorging on the nonsense disseminated by the corporate news demigods. Another thing near and dear to my heart is their intimate connection to nature and the land. They are excellent caretakers of the earth through their good farming practices. Regenerative and organic farming will be paramount to our survival in the near future, especially in the aftermath of what I will coin as “The Coming AI Apocalypse”. My Bigfoot Guardian has warned me that artificial intelligence is rapidly positioning itself as the final straw that will break the Internet’s back.
Be prepared to grow your own food. This is something you should be doing anyway. Your future and your physical health depend on it. The cells of our bodies harmonize with the cells of organically raised and produced foods both plant and animal. On the other hand, genetically modified foods can cause a multitude of discordant disruptions inside the cells. These disruptions then foster disease, yet these GMOs are now the main staple on our grocery store shelves. Take a serious look at how these genetically modified foods are being developed and mass produced on corporate farms. They are not produced for the benefit of the consumer, but for the profitability of the corporations that own them. All you have to do is look at these corporation’s profit driven farming practices to understand their motivations.
Let me tickle you with a miracle in a shell. It is called a chicken egg. On our farm, our hens are happy. They lay fertile eggs that are capable of producing another such miracle called a baby chick. That chick grows into a happy chicken that in turn lays more eggs that hatch into chicks. They grow up to be happy chickens as well. That is not how it works in the corporate offices of New York City. There, these miracles in a shell are turned into a commodity. The eggs are mass produced by chickens imprisoned in twelve by twelve inch cages. Like Guantanamo Bay inmates confined to their pens, they can barely move. They spend their whole life in that little wire box, laying infertile eggs until they can’t lay anymore. Then they are brutally yanked from their cages by their brittle little legs. You can hear and feel their bones break. Some die right then and there. Those that don’t, along with those that do, are then stuffed into gunny sacks for shipment to the slaughterhouse. From there, they are processed and wrapped in plastic, then shipped off to McDonald’s, Wendy’s or any of a number of other corporate fast food enterprises. All the chicken eggs have been retained, counted, and recorded for sale by accountants in Manhattan. None of the egg counters have ever seen a chicken lay an egg, they are simply a part of the corporate assembly line.
So what are some immediate actions we can take to disarm such abusive practices?
Buy locally! Help support locally owned and operated farms. They should be valued and looked upon as lifeblood for you and your community. They will be a vital necessity to our survival after the coming AI Apocalypse. In the present, small farms and home gardens are important in raising the health and well being of the population as a whole. As the MAGA Bigfoot often state, “Observe the obvious and act accordingly.”
For fun and your own benefit, I would suggest you take a ride sometime and peruse that part of the country devoted to farming and food production. You will most likely see dilapidated and abandoned farm houses. The small farmers that once owned and operated them, have been forced out of business by corporate farm practices. Their farmland then got gobbled up by corporations along with China who is now a big player in this land grab. The small farms once regenerative practices have now been obliterated and transformed into huge receptacles for chemical fertilizers and toxic pesticides. Production of GMO crops and abusive farm animal practices are now the standard of the day. Don’t take my word for it, go look for yourself.
In the end, GMOs, pesticides and other toxic chemicals end up on our plates. These corporate monsters remain unchecked and are contaminating our precious water supplies and poisoning the whole food chain ecosystem. Growing our own safe and nutritious food is one surefire weapon we can deploy against this growing empire. Fortunately, we still have a vibrant seed bank to supply our home gardens and small farms.
Another valuable asset to have in our arsenal of survival skills is foraging. Foraging for food has been something my family and I have practiced for generations. It is both rewarding and fun, as well as essential for anyone seriously looking to weather the coming AI armageddon. Learning what nature has to offer in the form of fruits, herbs, roots, mushrooms, etc., is quite the life affirming experience in itself. Within just a few miles of our home we can forage and secure a diverse store that can supply us through the winter.
Another form of foraging is the collecting of useful items that can come in handy in a pinch. I look for discarded and abandoned items with a creative eye. It’s not always what you find that is important, it is what it can become. Random pieces of metal can be turned into a stove or maybe even a chair. A gnarled piece of driftwood can be turned into a lovely lamp or a wall hanging. Lots of things speak to me of what they can become, that’s the miracle of abundance. Manifest wise—intend and you shall receive.
So turn off your TVs and smart phones. Step outside, take a deep breath and get your hands dirty. Participate with your heart and soul in the proper growing of nourishing food. Build your own flourishing and prospering reality.
I am certain that we can, and will overcome.
