If you’re like me, you’ve long recognized that the toxic combination of monocultured, pesticided, genetically modified corn, soy, wheat and other grains that get “processed” by adding sugar, chemical preservatives, other toxic ingredients to form packaged products produced by hierarchical corporations that then get distributed over wide distances by gigantic trucks to corporate-owned stores — and sold to Americans, 70% of whom, as of 2022, are either overweight or obese. 

This country has the highest obesity rate in the world.

Let that sink in.

Now couple that with what percentage of Americans are on prescription drugs. I researched this question, and couldn’t find anything current, but in 2013 almost 70% of Americans were on at least one prescription drug. 

I’d be very surprised if that percentage hasn’t gone up, to deal with obesity-related conditions such as heart disease and diabetes, as well as attempts (which often fail) to alleviate anxiety, depression, and insomnia.

Let’s face it, this country is sick. And it’s not just as in the Q post, “these people are sick” (referring to the corrupt “powers that be”), but this entire culture has been infected with “food” and “medicine” that neither nourish or heal. And that’s not even considering the rot that’s set in deeper with the covid con, and now the monkey con, and who knows what else they’re going to try to ram down our sore (from either screaming too much or throttling our rage) throats, or into our feverish, exhausted, data-overloaded brains, or jam into our slack, fattened arms or buttocks — all to bring in the globalist New World Order.

Hell, we’ve already got our New World Order. Ten Companies Own All the World’s Food Brands

Oh, and shall we talk about rapidly rising inflation, that has even cost-conscious chains like Aldi upping their prices 30%?

Okay. Okay. Stop. STOP!

I’ve attempted to describe the problem. Which also happens to be the solution, in the sense that once we embrace the problem deeply enough, we engage not just the logical left brain, but the deeply imaginative right brain, itself connected to the open heart — and we say, how can we do this differently?

THE PROBLEM IS THE SOLUTION

Remember Victory Gardens?

We’re in another world war, folks. Supply chain bottlenecks, rising cost of energy for transportation, detained fertilizer shipments, baby food and other production factories closing — it’s The People vs. the Globalists, and this war is getting more and more real every day.

And not surprising, so is the solution!

The word “localism, ” for example,  is no longer an exotic term.

I can remember, probably 15 years ago, meeting with some folks here in Bloomington Indiana to decide how best to encourage to people to support locally-owned stores. Signs in store windows are important, and we went some way with that here. But in general, we recognized that not until conditions become dire, not until people are forced to pick up on this idea, will they.

So here we are. It’s 2022, and even during the plandemic, in order to stave off the depression caused by forced isolation, people were getting into their back yards and beginning to garden, to grow their own food! Again, the problem is the solution. Bars weren’t open, neither were most restaurants. What to do? How to spend our time? Just on screens? Nature began to look better and better. I noticed more people out on trails in nearby woods (with some even brave enough not to wear “mandated” masks).

So yes, the problem that is the solution here, of food insecurity, is to grow your own food, grow with your neighbors, and/or support your local growers. Let’s see if we can match the 40% of our food our grandparents produced through their own gardens during World Wars I and II, shall we? Let’s see parks and university campuses used to grow food, shall we? Even better, let’s see entire apartment complexes join together in community to grow food on their rooftops, on patios, on their common lawns. Yes, even better, at least to me, is to see entire neighborhoods turned into permaculture paradises, much like we are inspiring here in tiny Green Acres Permaculture Village, inside Green Acres Neighborhood, with a spacious allowing inner culture and porous borders — plus weekly Community Dinners inviting one and all.

I fact, let’s all learn from Detroit!

AND . . . this is the part I wanted to get to today. Let us recognize that Mother Nature is providing food and medicine for us constantly, especially in the “weeds” we have been indoctrinated to eliminate from our gardens.

 

For example, this glorious burdock, growing among the ferns, and beyond the kiwi branches winding up the front porch posts.

For example, lambsquarters, which grows all over the world!

Here it is, out by the back patio. I eat it regularly in my lunch salads, along with dandelion, sorrel, and our Garden Tower lettuces.

Finally, learning how to make our own medicine may become utterly necessary if Dick Durbin (in league with Big Pharma and Big Med) gets his way.
