I've got your Market Forces swinging, babe

Monday, 24 April 2006

One of the controls the USDA wants to use in order to enforce it Machiavelian Animal Id plan is so called "Market Forces". Well, says I, grabbing my modestly sized wallet--"I've got your market forces right here, dude. . . ." That's right. If the Governement want to control us and our animals and property through the market they'll have to first get us to spend the money they so desperately crave. And if they want to penalize people who don't register with their plan by keeping them out of the market or from selling their animals--that works too. A for instance--how much is your usual supermarket chicken--$.99 a pound. Some places $.79 a pound but occasionally $1.29. How much of that goes to the farmer? I sold my chickens recently for $2.50 a pound. They taste great, are almost organic and are bigger and healthier looking than supermarket chickens. My buyers have asked when I'll have more. I didn't need to play in the "Market" to be sucessful in this. The chickens only left the "farm" in the purchaser's vehicles. Complete traceability. When they told me how great the chickens tasted--positive feedback loop.

So the next step would be to control where I buy my chicken feed. That's already happening across the country. Again. I buy only from feed stores who haven't asked any questions and don't sell feeds produced by the instigators of Animal Id. I also raise a significant amount of my own chicken feed--grass and barely. Try again Mr. USDA Rob-the-Consumers-Blind-to-prove-your-point. Now, granted, not everyone is willing to go to my level of extreems. I'm not too sure how far I am willing to go myself. But I do know that unless we send a clear message via our wallets this sort of BS will go on and on and on.

So, you there, put down the Round-Up. Back away from the sickly looking two pack of chicken on sale. Run from the hormone-stuffed beef tenderloin. Set down the imported Tilapia. Start asking questions about where your food comes from, how it is produced and why it doesn't cost more if the farmers are to have a lifesyle similar to yours. Find out what is happening to the face of Food in America and inform yourself about what you can do to keep US out of the hands of the Corporate Fifedom.

And if you're a farmer--take a stand to better your position. Get off the gravy train and quite thinking the Government is going to help you. That's like thinking buying something you never buy just because you have a coupon is going to save you money. How much money have you lost selling milk or beef or pork to the collective? How could you market it locally and keep more profit? How much money have you given Monsanto and what have you gotten back? When are they coming after you for patent infringement? If you didn't grow their crops at all you'd be ahead of the game. And don't tell me your family would starve--they already are aren't they? How much do you own and to who? Quit monocropping and start a CSA, or Farmer's Market. When no one is growing GM crops and buying pesticides and herbicides from the seed supplier their monopoly over us all will crash--which by the way: why is Enron so investigated and not Monsanto? Stop paying money to destroy your health, the health of others and of the Earth and THINK about the fact that Organic Farming is proven to give equivalent crop yields.

Let's get this Nation back on track--out of the hands of "Market Forces" and back into the control of the People.
