I do think there is a vast manipulation going on, and that it is very calculated and run by many different people at different levels of our society. But there is a definate responsibility for each individual in "the masses" to descriminate and think for themselves and not be so gullible. Much of the motivation to do that, at least in this very rich country, comes from "I am OK right now, and I don't care about anyone else" sort of mentality.

I am interested in this two year time sequence of which you speak. Are you saying that in two years something truly significant is going to occur, something very sudden that will accelerate the awakening process and cause true change...in just two years? That is very soon. After the election, but very soon, and that is comforting.

Hi. I'm new here to Andreas forum.

Helen I totally agree with you. I don't think it's so much a conspiracy as people are pressed for time and convenience food is just that, convenient. Nutritious, no, just convenient. I had a discussion with my dear father about apples. You know, the shiny ones. He grew apples and complained because some of my siblings didn't want any of them, because they didn't look right. They were used to the shiny ones from the grocery. Of course they were shiny, the wax coating helped preserve them in transit. I have seen first hand the difference convenience has made. My father, uncle and aunt, who all left the farm for the "big" city, had all lived to fairly old age (78-80)....but my uncle who has remained on the farm and grown his own veggies and raised his own chickens, pigs and beef, is the oldest and only one remaining, is now 85. Sharp as a tack and still very mobile. My grandmother who also stayed on the farm died when she was 88. She ate bacon and eggs every morning for breakfast. But she knew exactly what she chicken and pigs ate. They weren't fed growth hormones or antibotics. It's not the eggs that are bad for us or the bacon. It's what the "factory" farms are feeding the chickens that's bad for us. I remember seeing a tv program about them adding something to chicken feed to ensure that the shells wouldn't crack in transit. What does that do to the nutritional value of the egg if it affects the eggshell. Sorry for rambling on. I just think that as consumers, if we demanded convenience, we can demand nutritional. We just need to support the local grower/farmer.
