SolFest XIV: Arianna Huffington highlighted seven steps to save the country

Arianna Huffington, co-founder and editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post, brought a bit of good news to SolFest on Sunday afternoon.
Despite being on the "wrong course" the United States still has time to correct itself, she said. Starting with the conclusion of her book titled "Third World America" Huffington, SolFest's second featured speaker (after Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. on Saturday), said that seven steps can save the country.
Huffington, co-founder and editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post, a nationally syndicated columnist and author of 13 books, grew up in Greece. She remembers walking to school past a statue of President Truman, a reminder to her of The Marshall Plan, an idea of a "better life and a game of chance" or what we call the American Dream.
So she traveled to the United States in her teenage years and then pursued a Masters of Arts degree from Cambridge University in England but a part of her remained in the United States. So she returned to the U.S. the 1980s but found that the country was going the way of the third world.
On Sunday, she criticized bank bailouts, corporate loopholes, the war in Afghanistan as "un-winnable", and the media for focusing on such stories as Reverend Jones and the "bubble boy."
Huffington said that we now have legitimate anger but that we need to channel it in the right direction. The government is not a spectator sport, she said. The public needs to get involved.

She said that she is not letting Washington off the hook, but communities, families, and individuals need to solve problems and right the wrongs of our times.
Quoting Winston Churchill, "America can always be counted on to do the right thing, after it has exhausted all other possibilities," Huffington ended her speech on Sunday with a sense of urgency -- to make change now.
After her talk, Huffington allowed time for questions. One person asked why The Huffington Post has gone from focusing on just the political issues to now offering entertainment stories. Huffington responded that she never just wanted to draw in the "converted" but that if someone was interested in a story on Angelina Jolie, for instance, he might later be drawn to other more political or environmental stories on the site. Huffington also added that the website has grown from just one page to 22 sections.

Now is the time to get a national conversation going
that raises important questions.


CHEWING ON FOOD SAFETY

FROM THE STORY

Food safety laws that were being discussed on the hill during September - S.510 and S.3767- may be on a break for the moment. The issues remain and will be taken up when the senate reconvenes. We need a national conversation about food that is making us sick, and ask each other: Why? Most of us do not know how to eat. This plays into the hands of those who would dictate food policy. We need a moment of awakening. We need to regain our beat with nature. We need to have some relationship with healthy soil and growing things.

From a beet’s point of view, food was never meant to be a commodity. Food was never meant to be a force in the political arena to restrict people from foods they feel they need for natural health. Food was never meant to be in the hands of large industrial growers who prefer to have fewer people growing food. They rely more on drugs and chemicals to provide a poor imitation of what nature had in mind.

Nature's original technology is here to stay on an Enchanted Garden planet. We can grow 1000 years of peace in harmony with nature if we begin now to regain our beat with nature. Gloria Estefan sang, "Turn the Beat Around!" Truly, to reform food safety, we are asked to turn the beet around. Small size growers are part of nature's original technology -- and healthy legislators should be too. High tech and GMO's give us the option to have fewer people on the farm; they need a thorough vetting. A true dialogue between science, ethics, and food is coming into focus. Indeed, we are only now beginning to understand the true meaning of food safety.
