THere are links about the health benefits of alfalfa,
that has been called the father of all foods

THIS IS NO TIME FOR DIVISIVENESS
I say that.
Gary Hirshberg, of Stoneyfield, George Seimon of Organic Valley,
and Walt Robb of Whole Foods are not the enemy.

So what’s next?
Hirshberg says we need to stop the fingerpointing and get back down to business.
…Instead of fighting with each other, we need to fight Monsanto and the forces that are causing the voices of hundreds of thousands of Americans who support organic to be silenced. All of us who are opposed to the USDA decision to deregulate GE alfalfa must speak with one voice. Anything less keeps us divided and distracted.
And Westgate reminds us that the Non-GMO project is doing this work, right now:

COMMENTARY OF STEVE HOFFMAN
IS EXCELLENT
Say it Ain’t So, Mr. President: Tell Me You Didn’t Cave on GMO Alfalfa … and Now Sugar Beets!
February 7, 2011 | By Steven Hoffman
Commentary, Food and Agriculture, Food and Health, Natural, Organic & LOHAS Market Research & Trends, Press Releases, Sustainability
The organic industry, in my respectful opinion, should sue the USDA for putting an unreasonable burden on our own market—the only agricultural system in the United States requiring a paper trail from seed to shelf. Now, organic producers are at huge risk that their organic seed stock will become polluted by GMO alfalfa and other pollinating GMO crops, including GMO corn and sugar beets, significantly threatening their ability to produce certified organic product.
The organic industry may not know it is at war with the biotech seed industry, but the biotech industry definitely knows it is at war with organic. This time, through shrewd political lobbying with USDA and the White House, biotech agriculture has won a decisive victory in the continuing onslaught of genetically engineered foods, controlled by only a handful of multinational corporations.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF ALFALFA
Alfalfa - Alfalfa is a plant which sends its roots down twenty to thirty feet into the ground and brings up the minerals that are not available on the surface. For this reason, the Arabic word "alfalfa" means "father of plants." Alfalfa is rich in vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that play a vital role in the strength and growth of our bones and in the maintenance of a healthy body. It contains protein and vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K. It also contains calcium, potassium, carotene, iron, and zinc.

ALFALFA, IN MANY FORMS,
WAS ONE OF THE FAVORITE REMEDIES
OF DR BERNARD JENSEN
In "Health Magic Through Chlorophyll Through Living Plant Life"
he said:
Alfalfa has a deep root structure which if stretched in a straight line
would measure from 125 to 250 feet. Various reports indicate it having such an extensive structure, these roots pick up many of the trace minerals taht build the bloodstream and organis. Alfalfa has ten times the minerals contents of most grains. (page 102)
ALFALFA GRASS GROWING EXPERIMENT
This is an experiment that I am doing,
growing organic alfalfa seedings in a BioSmart
sugar cane bagasse container.
This is a refinement of the
Kid Activity that I began at the
Hillcrest Farmers Market
about one month ago.

"Let us seek truth everywhere; let us cull it wherever
we can find its blossom or its Seed. Having found the seed,
let us scatter it to the winds of heaven.
Where ever it may come, where ever it may blow,
it will germinate. There is no lack in this wide universe of souls
that will form the new ground." ~ Roman Rolland
