I used to search out ‘made in the USA’ products. I still do, if it is a flashlight or socks. Price be damned! I will spend $20 on a pair of wool socks that are made here instead of $10 on a pair made in China. After all, the USA product had to be trucked by my fellow Americans with fuel and labor costs to get it to the store and sheep food is expensive and so is the cost of shearing tools. Why wouldn’t it be $10 more than something made in a dirty factory filled with child/slave labor and then shipped halfway around the world on a cargo ship and heaved into a giant Temu storage warehouse where half of the space is designated for junky, highly flammable clothing and the other half is dedicated to people sitting in front of computers dropping Temu and Shein-bombs all over the internet, like a magical Christmas downpour of cheap polyester mixed with formaldehyde in the shape of a nightgown?
You gotta love capitalism and other countries being awash in American’s filthy lucre, because we are too poor to afford products made in our own country. We are outsourcing our clothing, decor, batteries, dildos and just about everything, to a nation that has no labor laws or pollution regulations and has the worst air quality in the world. And all the while, they grow stronger, as their military walks lockstep, in that scary, isty way. (isty is where you can pick your root word and add isty to the end. Communisty, Socialisty, Facististy) I do understand that the people are more than their government. China and her people are not all the CCP, just slaves to it. Just like Americans are not all dirty politicians. We just ‘vote’ them into the Politocrity and they NEVER leave.
And I found this notification on something I was buying the other day. What does El Paso know, that we don’t??
This item may not be shipped to P.O.Box, Federated States of Micronesia, Armed Forces Americas, Alaska, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Armed Forces Europe, Marshall Islands, Guam, Hawaii, U.S. Virgin Islands, Armed Forces Pacific, American Samoa, Northern Mariana, Palau and El Paso, Texas
I used to think California was NUTS for insisting on warnings for items which might contain cancer-causing materials. Now I wonder…is California right?? They ban ban ban and warn warn warn because the Hydra-Fed’s approach to everything is ‘IT’S FINE, IT’S ALL FINE’ in the American process of processing everything until it no longer resembles the original in any way, shape or form.
But The FOOD!
The things used in foods to alter them are always regarded as safe until someone dies from eating Xchoajgfeorgniern. Who knew? This system is known as the GRAS (Generally Regarded As Safe) approach. So, Big Food adds the chemical form of the T-1000 to our food supply and hopes it doesn’t kill people, but it is a terminator. That is what it does.
In Europe, they test ingredients before adding them to the food source of millions of people. Imagine that. How novel. The scientists here are running the show and as we all know, The Science is a nihilst.
The food labeled as “Made in the USA” makes me very uncomfortable. Now I have to read labels to make sure my food is made in Europe. Because American food is toxic, and taste is created in labs, as are most of the ingredients in 90 out of 100 things you will pick up in the grocery store. Shopping the outside aisles is not longer a safer alternative. It might make you feel better, but what actually is sprayed on that broccoli or lettuce to get it all the way to there from here?
I watched the documentary, Food Inc. from 2008. Highly recommend.
Farmers, scientists and health advocates show the harmful effects of how food production and delivery have been approached at the corporate level.
Turns out, a farmer that features prominently in this 17 year old documentary is tapped for a part in the new Trump administration. Joel Salitin-The Lunatic Farmer is going to be “Advisor to the Secretary” for the USDA. What in the hell took so long? We have ‘known’ for years that Big Food was killing us and making us so sick, but we weren’t paying attention.
And today Dr. Mercola is talking about gut health and how it is linked to every process in our bodies, including CHOLESTEROL.
Just reading about this, as a person with no medical background except my great food-wakening, I can make the connection. The connection that all the chemicals sold under the guise of ‘food’ is killing anything helpful and good in our gut, the first line of defense in the process of turning food into fuel.
Destroy and degrade our gut bacteria and the result is Cheeto body. A body being run with laboratory-made fuel, instead of the pristine food that the Good Lord put here for our use. They are even putting GMO corn in our vehicle gas tanks. Yeah, tanks, but no tanks. I have a sporty little convertible who only likes non-ethanol gas. And, the manufacturer said that non-ethanol gas will keep the engine and all hoses and bits running better and more efficiently. The ethanol/corn/high fructose corn gas eats away at the engine until you have all sorts of things you need to repair or replace like valves, knees, hoses or plugs.
So, why is our body any different? Just because the only instruction manual on what we should eat is over 2,000 years old, should we toss out that instruction because we are so much more advanced? Maybe we had to go this far forward to see how backwards we have actually become.
Genesis 1
29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Mexico as a barometer?
The fact that Mexico has to battle to ban US corn and is forced to pass a constitutional amendment because it is the only way for them to keep toxic corn out of their heirloom corn speaks to the denigration of our food sources and supply, and the corruption of the ‘crats that push this deadly agenda.
MEXICO PLANS TO MODIFY ITS CONSTITUTION TO BAN TOXIC US GENETICALLY ALTERED CORN
In 2024, GMO corn accounted for nearly 94 percent of the corn planted in the US, occupying over 86 million acres. American corn is so contaminated that neighboring Mexico, the second largest importer of US corn after China, has vowed to ban the use and cultivation of GM corn.
Here is to you, Mexico. Get ‘em. We are with you.
Leave my tortillas alone, gringos.
Fortunately, I live in a town called Lancasater in PA which is wondrously full of AMISH and MENNONITE farms that sell their produce in "roadside stands". Can you believe the FDA is suing a local Amish dairy farmer who has been successfully selling his WHOLE MILK from HEALTHY COWS to his client base for over TWENTY FIVE years. Now the FDA said someone developed a bacterial infection (I don't believe it was e coli--trying to remember exactly what the disorder was) from drinking his UNinspected, WHOLE milk (the cows have NEVER died from any disease of disorder and neither have this farmer's clients.) Meanwhile...this gent is SHUT DOWN and CANNOT MAKE A LIVING. We have had "Give, Send Go" fundraisers for him to pay for the legal expenses--but this is why BIG CORN, BIG AGRA, BIG PHARMA, BIG GOVERNMENT MUST BE SQUASHED like the NASTY COCKROACH it is.
I saw that movie you mentioned (Food, Inc.) when it was first released and it sickened me to the core--I remember the movoie shared a woman who owned a huge chicken farm and she 'had' been in bed with the Tyson agra conglomerate for quite a few years. She finally separated from that relationship because Tyson INSISTED that the chickens could not FREE RANGE and had to ROOST constantly. That, coupled with a HIGH CORN DIET resulted in the HUGE BREASTED chickens that Tyson wanted. The chickens' breasts were SO HUGE that when they attempted to STAND UP...they fell over from the weight of their breasts. HOW WRONG--HOW EVIL!!! That chicken farmer had enough of Tyson's evil mandates and decided to go 'independent' - I pray she is still doing a thriving business.
SHALOM, Sadie!!
This was excellent, SadieJay! Well said and Amen!
