FOOD CATASTOPHE
We are in the middle of a food Catastrophe.
Few people know this. As Allison Rose Levy
says in her excellent Huffington Post below
we are need need a moment of awakening
about the trust levels we have about big business.
We are only scratching the surface.
Their is a move underfood to cultivate food justice.
We all need to find how what food justice is,
before the crisis into our own pantry here in
America as is in many places around the world.
Please read the paragraph closely.
Look the the generic pattern of
corporate business as usual policy:
"Indeed, according to an August 15, 2008, email sent to BP officials by Barry Duff, a member of BP's Deepwater Gulf of Mexico Atlantis Subsea Team, the Piping and Instrument Diagrams (P&IDs) for the Atlantis subsea components "are not complete" and "there are hundreds if not thousands of subsea documents that have never been finalized, yet the facilities have been" up and running. P documents form the foundation of a hazards analysis BP is required to undertake as part of its Safety and Environmental Management Program related to its offshore drilling operations. P&IDs drawings provide the schematic details of the project's piping and process flows, valves and safety critical instrumentation."

What the Gulf Oil Spill Has to Do With Your Health

We don't know and we don't want to know. Even for health conscious people, it's just too overwhelming. We'd rather do a downward facing dog than watch dog government policy. Our scientists don't know the cumulative effects either because our health care scientific model rarely considers synergistic effects-- despite a call from the National Academy of Sciences to do so. Instead we've been trained to look at health--one person at a time, part by part, symptom by symptom, and study by study. If the scientific model, which serves as the basis for our understanding, doesn't begin to approach these larger scale problems and look at synergistic system-wide health effects, how can ordinary people?
When I was at CBS news in the early 1990's, someone called to pitch a story about the widespread use of hormones in agriculture products, claiming they increased risk of cancer and caused sex-related changes. When I ran the story idea by a senior producer, together we laughed and joked about it. Of course, now research into endocrine disruption has entered the mainstream. It's not that every theory turns out to be true. But what is true is that there are screams of anger and denial from industry and marketing shills every time a profitable product, ingredient, medical offering, or service is questioned. This creates confusion, overwhelm, and inertia leading health conscious people to think: "I can't do anything about this. But what can I do is manage my own stress."
