The Critical Choice:


Sustainable Food Cultivation Vs. Food Industrialization.




As discussed in detail in the life force paradigm: new nutritional science synthetic vitamins and degraded nutrients found in poorly grown and/or poorly processed food is missing the "life force." The once "out there" concept of life force that science can now quantify is being called biophotons. "The more biophotons a food is able to store, the more nutrition it has. The capacity to store biophotons is therefore a measure of the quality of our food"(1). According to leading researchers in the biophoton field, Prof. F.A. Popp and Dr. H. Niggli, the reason for this is that biophotons contain important bio-information, which controls complex vital processes in our bodies. "The biophotons have the power to order and regulate and, in doing so, to elevate the organism to a higher oscillation or order. This is manifested as a feeling of vitality and well-being. To put it quite simply, the more vitality in the food, the greater the power of the overall electromagnetic field, and, consequently, the more energy is available for healing and the maintenance of optimal health" (1). The foods that supply superior biophotionc fields or life energy are known as super-foods and can be defined as follows:

-Wild crafted or exquisitely grown
-Harvested at peak ripeness
-Non-hybridized
-Non-pesticided
-Non-synthetic
-Free of chemical contaminants
-Packaged and processed and/or preserved properly (naturally).

In short, this simply means consuming food as natural, wild, and fresh with as little artificial man-made interference as possible.
Unfortunately, the cost-cutting profit-motivated modern industrial-food complex that supplies most of the food in North America has the exact opposite concerns then those of the well-informed consumer. This modern large-scale method of food cultivation is concerned with increased productivity and profit potential, not the energetic state of the product. Growing food in harmony with celestial and terrestrial cycles does not coincide with competitive conditions of our current food system. The cost of cost-cutting short cuts now routinely employed are apparent in the nation's poor health. As Dr. Joseph Mercola, author of the Total Health Program, states: "The average American spends 90% of their food money on processed food, and many wonder why we have an epidemic of chronic degenerative disease." This is not to say we don't pay for poor health, according to the the South Carolina Budget and Control Board, Americans spend 1,000,000,000,000 (one trillion dollars) on health care every year, and that figure is expected to double by 2012. We just pay for it at the end of life. In fact, "Out of all the money that is spent on medical care in the United States, 90% is spent in the last 30 days of human life"(2).
Why are productivity and profits emphasized over quality and nutrient levels in this food system? Why is quality nothing and efficiency and quantity everything? Globalized industrial agriculture is highly a competitive climate where accountibility, quality and sustainability are not affordable. Because of this, big agribusiness has employed some monstrous methods that totally negate the "spirit" of natural life-sustaining food production. Some of the more gross abuses which spawned the organic foods movement include chemical contamination with deadly poisonous pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, genetic modification, irradiation, abuse of antibiotics and the terrible treatment of animals, etc. It is these same unnatural mass-production methods of "factory farming" that brought us food fears, such as Mad Cow Disease, influenza, salmonella, argentine hemorrhagic fever, e. coli infections, etc.(3). Now, even the majority of organic food production has been taken over by the same large-scale barcoded sales-scheme with a profit-motivated mentality, accountable only to Wall Street's bottom line. When choosing our meal courses, we have two choices. We can conform to what has become the norm and consume the highly advertised and available commercial standard, such as "Mc Death" and "Murder King", or we can pioneer a path that leads to life by empowering the interdependent yet self-sufficient health of all the living people and the living planet. Fresh, life-giving and nourishing food is not flash frozen, fortified, deodorized, ready to be reheated, reconstituted, or refried. The fresh-food culture has no need for food technologists and food engineers who manufacture flavor artificially and find sorry ways to suspend shelf life.

In the bright future of food, world-class nutrient-dense super-foods, are replacing synthetic test-tube vitamins and small-scale local honest farmers are replacing globalized industrial agriculture. Be a part of this food revolution, reconnect with with fresh food at the roots locally, and reverse the rapid health decline, degeneration, and disintegration we are facing. The Hightower Lowdown beautifully exposes the old food Production Paradigm below.

Industrial agriculture's Dark Side:
"During the past half century, control over nation's food policies has shifted from farmers and consumers to corporate lawyers, lobbyists, and economists. While the profiteers and politicians are headed one way with our food system, we the people are headed in quite a different direction. Whether it's called "sustainable" "organic" "beyond organic" "pure food" or just plain common sense, there is a mass movement and a growing coalition among consumers, farmers, workers, entrepreneurs, communities, chefs, food activists and others to take back control of America's food economy and food culture for the common good rather than corporate greed. By eliminating the corporate middlemen (with their voracious profit demands, bloated executive salaries, advertising budgets, bureaucracies, lobbyists, lawyers, and so forth), a localized marked system of co-ops, community gardens, farmers markets, can link fresh real food directly to forks I know first hand about the phenomenal cornucopia of good, fresh, nutritious, and delicious food that our company is capable of producing. That's why it knocks me whopper-jawed to see the stuff that dominates too many American diets--an array of industrialized, conglomeratized, globalized products that have lost any connection to the earth."


Agribusiness dumps 8 billion pounds of poisonous pesticides on farmlands each year, with the result that 45% of America's groundwater is dangerously polluted, while farm families, farm workers, and people living next to the fields suffer poisonings, cancers, birth defects, and death.

A handful of corporations monopolize each and every aspect of the food economy, from seeds to chemicals, grain shipping to cotton trading processing to retailing.

Washington spends billions of our tax dollars to subsidize corporate-produced foods, and the food industrialists also are allowed to escape paying for the extensive pollution, soaring health coasts, and ecological damage that are direct results of their food producing, distributing, and packaging methods.

The major factor driving prices is not the cost of actual food that might still be in packaged products but the cost of packaging, advertising, and long distance shipping.

Out of each dollar you spend on groceries, only 19 cents goes to the farmer, with corporate middlemen grabbing the rest.

Thousands of efficient family farmers are driven out of business each year by rising costs and falling commodity prices.

Workers in fields, processing plants, and supermarkets are routinely paid poverty wages, exposed to injury and death, harassed, fired without cause, and denied the right to organize.

Food itself has become a clear and present danger, as quick profit agriculture has given us Mad-Cow Disease, feces contaminants, irradiation, infusion of sexual hormones, genetic manipulation, a toxic stew of chemical additives and an epidemic overdose of fats and sugars.
