How is Senator Tom Coburn doing,
the David among Goliath who stopped
s. 510 from passing before the break?
He is one of the first Senators I would
like to support with receiving
a basket of organic foods from
Eden.
They sent two lovely food baskets.
I have work to do on this.
ALSO
Rady Ananda inspired this thought:
What do the Senators eat?
First morning off from Pacific Symposium 2010.
I need to do some rent paying,
and taxes.
I want to reconnect with Mary Elizabeth.
Get to bank, to food place.
rest, and then take up next steps.
Need to make a copy of ....of iphoto library...
QUOTE OF LACK OF MINERALS IN FOOD
Restore the food supply...
we need farmers paying attention to the soil
in a big slow way...
OH NO

Keep the Beet says:
We are feeding people enough
to keep them semi-functional to serve
the system, but not enough to keep them
thinking clearly or fulfilling their life purpose.
More to say on this...
VISITING THE CATAMARAN KITCHEN
Went down to see Alistair Ravell yesterday.
He left already....filmed the employee
in charge. Got a copy of Menu for kids.
This is not Real Food Safety.
REDEFINING REAL FOOD SAFETY
It matters if cows are contented.
We need healthy food, not just fax food.
We need food capable of bringing the best out of people not
just minimal function.
Minimal dosage of supplements?
Why?
Therapuetic dosages
to make up for what is missing.
FOOD QUALITY ACCORDING TO THE FDA
IS THE FDA an authority on what is good for us?
They need to be open to be educated about
what is real food safety before enforcing laws
that take away real food.
FDA POSITION ON ORGANIC VS
CONVENTIONAL NUTRITIONAL VALUE
Nutrition. No conclusive evidence shows that organic food is more nutritious than is conventionally grown food. And the USDA — even though it certifies organic food — doesn't claim that these products are safer or more nutritious.

FROM AN ARTICLE
PUBLISHED IN AUSTRALIA
http://www.small-farm-permaculture-and-sustainable-living.com/health_farming_...
Long ago, before corrupted by corporate interests, the US Senate was genuinely interested in promoting the public good. In 1936 they tabled a Document 264 which raised alarm at the massive and widespread threat to public health posed by food grown on mineral impoverished soils.
Excerpts of the original report as published in the Readers Digest, March 1936:
US Senate Document 264, 1936:
"Laboratory tests prove that the fruits, the vegetables, the grains, the eggs and even the milk and meats of today are not what they were a few generations ago. No man of today can eat enough fruits and vegetables to supply his system with the minerals he requires for perfect health...
Many diseases stem from impoverished soil that no longer provide the mineral elements essential to human health."
The Situation Today is Worse…
Since this startling report, the mineral content of soils in the US and elsewhere in the world has continued to decline, exported out of farms as agricultural produce and not replaced.
Conventional agriculture only supplements soil minerals with those necessary to produce a high volume crop – chiefly NPK (nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium).
The luxurious but metabolically weak crops that result require protection with herbicides and pesticides, lacing the nutritionally inadequate produce that results with poison, and polluting the environment. The superphosphate used also often adds toxic levels of cadmium to the mix.
FDA POSITION ON GM (GENETICALLY ENGINEERED)
FOODS
http://www.csa.com/discoveryguides/gmfood/overview.php
The FDA's stance is that GM foods are substantially equivalent to unmodified, "natural" foods, and therefore not subject to FDA regulation.

Conclusion
Genetically-modified foods have the potential to solve many of the world's hunger and malnutrition problems, and to help protect and preserve the environment by increasing yield and reducing reliance upon chemical pesticides and herbicides. Yet there are many challenges ahead for governments, especially in the areas of safety testing, regulation, international policy and food labeling. Many people feel that genetic engineering is the inevitable wave of the future and that we cannot afford to ignore a technology that has such enormous potential benefits. However, we must proceed with caution to avoid causing unintended harm to human health and the environment as a result of our enthusiasm for this powerful technology.
