How Long Before We Stop the Many Ways we Poison the Ecology of our Food?

At least here is one concrete step that our government has taken to accelerate the process of exposing the many ways we now poison ourselves through food and unhealthy farming practices.

For our part, we know there is a lot more than just antibiotics, what about bug resistance to pesticides, corn that produces pesticides and are used to feed animals, think of soil pollution and the contamination of aquatic life supporting systems with suspended matter from the farm’s surface, pesticides and other chemicals that go down the stream as farmers pour stuff down into the soil and our institutions continue to research and government allows corporations to prescribe doing so without regard for our ability to support life systems. But we are not in the business of judging anyone for what they do, accountability is something else, but that is the public’s responsibility and our institutions, for our part, we are in the business of building the new ecology of food and agriculture, one based on a whole system change.
