SELF RELIANCE...THE WAVE OF THE FUTURE

True freedom requires food independence


Because of all this, I am now celebrating my food independence from the greedy, poisonous food corporations of North America.

No more Dean Foods or PepsiCo in my life. No more being enslaved by Monsanto or ADM.

No genetically-modified foods, pesticides, herbicides or terminator seeds are found around here

. No long-distance food imports

, no waiting in line at the grocery store with a stupid discount card and no more packing my groceries home in toxic plastic bags made from petrochemicals.

My food acquisition process has become ridiculously simple:

Step 1: Walk to the garden (60 seconds).
Step 2: Pick what I want to eat (5-10 enjoyable minutes).
Step 3: Prepare it (juice it, boil it or whatever).
Step 4: Eat it.

This process requires no financial transactions, no taxes, no transportation, no plastic wrappers and no coupons. It does not involve finding a parking spot, going into a building, carrying cash or inhaling the toxic vapors of detergent products that permeate all the aisles of modern grocery stores.

There is no need to check a price, enter a UPC bar code or banter with grocery store clerks. Instead, I simply walk to the garden, harvest the food and eat it.

That this simple act is so astonishingly rare is, all by itself, a disturbing commentary about the state of the food supply in America today.


Thanks to all this abundance, we are harvesting and juicing fresh, organic produce from our garden every single day. And keep in mind that this food production is year-round, so we have fresh food every day. It's also 100 percent organic. I use only neem oil, tobacco, garlic and natural soap as my pesticides. All the crops get sprayed with seaweed extract once a week, and we apply ash from the local sugarcane mills on a regular basis.
