True to form,
Keep the Beet Media Star,
The World's First Talking Beet Plant,
continued her relentless masterminding
of the Campaign to Educate Washington
on Real Food Safety.
Her latest strategy
involved hooking up the Co-Founder of
Farmville, one of the most popular games on Facebook
with Leslie Goldman, Your Enchanted Gardener,
who once again--for the third year in a row--
made the humble beet the
centerpiece of his Closing Ceremony
that is a tradition at the symposium,
one of the most popular attended yearly
by from 400-600 of the nation's and the world's
leading advocates of the harmless invasive medicine
that is destined to impact the way the every day
shopper not only views health, but seeks treatments
that build health rather than leaves
dangerous side effects.
The key to that transformation is now zeroed
in on Washington, where 100 Senators aim
within a the near future, perhaps within weeks,
to vote on the future of food as we know it know.
The well meaning senators
many who may not have had time to read
the seemingly harmless s-51O or its counterparts,
s. 3767 imagine that in voting yes
on Food Safety Modernizaton.
Who would protest bills that on the surface
want to end contamination of our food's that
have harmed and poisoned many?
What could be controversial about such bills?
Not.
The proposed food safety bills are not seen as harmless
buy a growing segment of the U.S. population.
The bills in their original form, drew red flags from
our remaining small farmers. Many of them are already
burdened by red tape that takes an enormous amount
of time. Many of the local organic farmers are already
policed by the USDA under its Organic Rules policies.
Adding fire to the storm, have been recent investigations
within the California Farmers' Market system that point
out that numbers of farmers are not playing by the rules.
They are lying. A recent investigation showed some foods
called organic had in fact pesticides.
The new laws would increase FDA powers over the locals,
but what sense would it be to give further powers to the
agency that sees backs pesticide farming over organic,
or the USDA that imagines that organic, GMO, and Conventional
farming can co-exist????
Opps...where is this Plant Your Dream blog headed,
Keep The Beet wants to know?????
BACK TO THE POINT
In a moment that seemed fated--
on the final day of the Pacific Symposium 2010,
Leslie was introducing the new Food Basket campaign
to Deb Davies, alumni director, and Lara, new Beet Keeper.
Up walked a guest at the Symposium,
who overheard the conversation.
He was very interested in what was being said.
He said that influencing Washington with better health
ideas was also his dream.
" I was scheduled to leave, but I was delayed,"
he said, "now I see why!"
In less than 15 minutes--all video taped,
the man was introduced to the Campaign concept
as well as Keep the Beet.
He turned out he made applications for Facebook,
among them the popular Farmville, that has more than
17 million players.

FARMVILLE
http://vator.tv/news/2009-09-02-zynga-hits-100-million-users-with-farmville
Who would have guessed—in an age of rapidly advancing technology—that one of the most popular online games would be a game about good old fashioned farming?
Zynga, one of the biggest social gaming developers, just hit 100 million monthly users across its various games on Facebook.
Much of Zynga’s success is owed to one of its newest games, FarmVille, a real-time virtual farming game quietly released on Facebook in mid-June. Users choose crops to plant and purchase all sorts of equipment with which to tend their harvest. As All Facebook reports, farm gaming is looking to be a big business on Facebook. They count nine different farming applications, just in the site's top games. All the farming applications combined see 72 million active users a month.
Zynga’s product differs from some other farming games, however, in that it provides a better social experience by encouraging users to interact with their Facebook friends within the game.
