Next War over Food?

Food Crisis

Today on  BBC Radio 4 Today programme they were talking about the growing problem concerning human population. Yesterday I touched on the subject and strangely it came up again this morning..

Are really expecting a food war? Is this really a global crisis?

If I look at it from a religious point, I would say we might be experincing troubles but as a result of the elite dictating and controlling the worlds economics and resources. They control the multi million dollar national corporations now that we see throughout the world.

Is there really in today's society any hope for the small holding? or are we moving into mass production farming?

Again in Prince Charles book called Harmony he also refers to  so called factory farms. He refers to figures of around sixty billion farm animals are reared for food  and the majority using industrial techniques.

These large scale e farms have been under production for some time.

At present in the UK in East Anglia there are plans to build a vast industrialized dairy operation that will involve 8,000 to 9,000 cows.

First this is creating a further disconnection between animals and humans and the thought that these animals are just meant for consumption and the  care and animal welfare, rights and animal husbandry is neglected makes me angry to say the least..

My other concerns is and God willing I will be addressing it later, but there is growing evidence and academia carrying out studies on animals being injected with all sorts, to increase growth etc for selling. Which highlights that for one, the majority of the so called chicken we consume is water content and the rest, well we don't actually know what it contains, but I hope to explore this later.

There is growing concerns over some who are deliberately injecting in to food chemicals which stop the production of sperm etc, which will of course reduce human numbers. This greatly helps  those who are fighting for this.

But let us look more closely and we will see that again take the multi national grocery giants like Asda, Tesco etc, they dictate to the farmers what type, colour, size etc of fruit, vegetable they want and if it does not fit the bill they cancel the contract.

I recall when small I used to eat fruit of all types with blemishes on, today this is a no no. So can you imagine the fruit, vegetables that is discarded just on the basis of a blemish.

Its called consumer culture and we must keep the customer happy mustn't we?

The small farmer does not stand a chance in face of the big guys and they are all being eaten up and losing their land.

Also are we aware that the majority of farm produce including plants,flowers grown abroad outside the west is for the western market not the locals.

There is absolutely no need for a food war and food scarcity, if only interest, debt was made illegal and the west controlled their evil consumerism, the world would be a better place.
