An Organic World - Ever possible again? - by Ni Lah

This article here, you might not like at all. You might even say, I rather don't know, but you know.... Closing our eyes about stuff which is going to happen to us already while you reading this: How can we ignore? Only because it has not hit me yet? Many years ago I lived in a house with lots of kids. The kids use to come to the pond in front of my house and played there. As I did not want to watch them and I knew it was dangerous, I always sent them back to their moms. Many times I warned the family that it is really dangerous and they need to put a gate. My warnings where blown in the wind. 6 month after I moved out of the house one 2 year old girl felt in the pond while the kids played on it. As the kids where afraid to tell their mothers, the 2 year old drowned. Her mother had a nervous breakdown, never recovered. A simple gate in front of my house would have stopped the kids, but the owner did not care. The parents did not care either. It was not my job to put the gate, I was just temporary. I only could point out the danger.

With Genetic food it is the same. We all seam not to care what we eating. As long as the packing looks good and we have a full, satisfied tummy, the brain does not make the connection between health issues and what we are eating. The old saying "We are - What we eat!" seams so forgotten. To be honest if I look around me, I can see what people eat while I just look at them how they look and how they act!

GMO Food is everywhere and it is taking us over. There is a company out there, they want to take over our food. This company has by now patented around 12000 genes of our real and non genetic food. Once they have the right to do, they will come to your garden and tell you you have to pay your garden planted vegetables to them. This is not a joke or so. This is a very, very possible scenario sooner than you can even imagine. Watch the movie and find all the other 10 parts of it and you will almost fall out of the clouds when you learn the reality. It was a big wake up call for me (Thanks to Baligifter):

GMO food has totally contaminated our planet. Mexico, a country which refuses to go GMO, but does allow import of GMO has a big problem by today. Mexico has still the most natural corn in the world. With more than 1000 different sorts of corn. It is believe the oldest corps of corn in the world are in Mexico. Basically a world heritage. Though clouds, wind, bees and also imported GMO food, now pollen contaminate these old corps and they suddenly mutant into monster corns.

When I first heard about GMO food and how save it is so many, many years ago I had to laugh out load. One with a little knowledge of nature will know than pollen travel. Some even more than 1000 km. How can it NOT happen that our plants are already contaminated with GMO food? It is believed that non of the soy in the world is by now GMO free. Soy is one of the major protein supplies for humans around the world, manly in Asia. To think and believe that this might be really, really true is for me absolutely devastating and immoral. Indonesia was one of the first countries going for GMO.

GMO food has gained such power throughout our ignorance and total blind believe in what is said on TV. If one with a little common sense thinks, it is more than just clear that GMO food will also change the genetic in humans and animals. And it does. Many researches and now even midwifes see GMO food is changing our whole set up as humans and human kind. Read Robin Lim's article of Cords and Placentas and this is just a little crumble in the sea. Rats have found to be infertile about 3 generations. The uteruses of cows are changing. Animals feed on GMO corn are smaller, weaker and get faster sick. What counts of animals, does count for us too. We even get it worse. We eat GMO directly and get the GMO messed up animals added to the menu. It just turns my stomach thinking about what some people put into their bodies...

As Morgellon Disease shows us, great danger is upon us. The GMO bacteria infects people via soil and a little critter. Just a few days ago I got a mail in that they working on a GMO corn which includes vaccination for flu. Each time you great some GMO corn you get your dose of vaccination. What this will do to your body? I doubt it will do good, I rather would say this will be another way to weaken the immune system of populations. Do you agree they doing this? Yes, daily when you buying their products and eat them!

You must understand GMO food was produced for one reason only: To make the food resistant to one single herbicide called "Round up". Fact is that more and more herbicides have to be sprayed which end up in our water supply. A mono culture is produced which easily gets diseases. Seen in India where whole cotton harvests felt by an infestation of a fungus. In India each day 30 cotton farmers suicide because GMO Seeds for Cotton have put them on the borderline. There is only one incredible woman helping them:

Vandana Shiva

I truly adore the work of this woman. She is the light and help of so many. Follow the links and you will learn a lot about what GMO seeds are doing to our world.

In South Africa it happened now that 30% of the harvest was empty. The corn has developed corps, but once opened they where empty. If GMO corps start to fail and they do big time, food shortage will be soon reality. As I was talking with many farm experienced people around Bali, many told me that fields in Bali do far not give enough corps anymore. So the farmers plant the plants closer - they don't get enough sunlight. The farmers spray more - more toxin in soil and water, more money in the pocket of herbicide companies. A friend of mine made a test with his staff. He had his organic field and the other farmers outside did what they doing at this point. His harvest was much stronger and far more. I think around 30% and this without the use of expensive chemicals. Which added to his profit. Permaculture as Made Charka from Ubud know these things for many years. Made has seen the family land going down and down more and decided to turn around the farming methods. Today Made teaches farmers and people from all around the world. Made worked with IDEP Foundation, the Green School and at this point he is with Tri Hita Kirana.

I will give you a short list of links and info about what is going on in the world of GMO. Follow the links and you will learn and understand why we must make a change as soon as possible:

Here a short line out of the Codex Alimentarius which will fall into place in Europe December 2009 if people don't stand up now, but how can they if nobody tells them?????:

"Genetically modified products don't have to be named in ingredient lists, neither in the ingredient lists of biological (organic)products"

This year also release a film about the truth of how our food is produced, not just GMO food:

Food.INC

Great education and ideas how to avoid GMO you will find on:

www.responsibletechnology.org .

The web site also offers eater-friendly tips for avoiding GMO's at home and in restaurants.

GMO is devastating for all of us. We all can fight it and overcome a big global crisis in the future. GMO will cause us to loose our freedom. If seeds belong to a company, they will own the food. GMO will make us sicker and sicker, generations to come will be weaker and far unhealthier. We all will pay for the nonsense of the idea of GMO. Not in a far away future - Very soon. We will have empty fields, if the truth, GMO shows us by now, will happen. There will be no food in your supermarket anymore. Diversity of this beautiful planet will totally fall apart and the eco system will collapse. Do we really, really want this to happen? Diversity is the beauty of the world. China had 1000 different rice corps, today you can only get around 5 or 6 and all are named with numbers. There where 5000 potatoes around the world, now we can buy only 5. This has to stop, we want to go to different places in the world and eat their local food and get the local taste. One rice, corn, soy or all? And to get the taste into the stuff MSG and Nano Food will be used to tickle out little taste buds to eat more and more of this crap. For me this is madness pure!!!!!

The ONLY way to stop one of the biggest madness of human kind: Stop buying food you don't know where it comes from. Stop buying packed food. Stop buying food which has been processed. Stop eating in places which do not support organic farming. Stop supporting anybody who is selling GMO and uses it. Support local organic farming every day. You will find out that your food can be really tasty, really fill you up at one plate for a mean, does not make you feeling bad anymore, makes you happy and is far cheaper than buying in a conventional supermarket. I have been strictly off all packed products for several months. Hardly eat outside and buy about 80% organic products and the rest is non processed. Surprisingly I found that my food costs have gone down about 40% and the food we eat is far better and tastier. I give you an example. We buying a fantastic black rice now, which is a small package for 10.000rp. We are able to make 4 times a Balinese dessert from it which is Called Bubur Injin. The taste of this special rice we buy is incredible. We only add fresh coconut milk and nothing else. Each portion of Bubur Injin costs 2.500Rp per person and it is highly nutritious and you cannot stop eating it. It does not take a lot of work to do it. Get the rice in water, boiled, get the coconut milk going and done. 15 minutes or so. You buy a packet of GMO wheat cookies with all sort of stabilizers and other neurotoxic stuff and you already pay 20.000Rp. An incredible example of how easy it is to change!

In supporting local organic farmers we support their work and the turn around of what is happening world wide to us.

MAKE A MOVE! TODAY! WHAT MORE DOES IT TAKE FOR YOU?
