This is a sad, eye-opening posting about government’s micro-management, control, and prohibition of the food American citizens [attempt to] grow for themselves. Posted at http://thecommonsenseshow.com/2013/08/27/no-soup-for-you-america/
“If people let government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny.”
Thomas Jefferson
I grew up at a time in American history where school children were taught that people in the Soviet Union could not grow food without the express permission of the government and we made fun of the Russians.
Now the United States is stating that its citizens may not grow food without the express permission of the government. The daily news media is replete with stories of government harassment against individuals attempting to grow their own food.
No Veggies for You!
The USDA’s Rural Development Agency take pleasure in bullying the young and the handicapped as they are forbidding Rosie, a 4-year old girl, from South Dakota, from planting green vegetables in an unused area outside her subsidized housing unit.
Rosie and her mom live on a fixed income disability payment of $628 per month. The garden vegetables growing just outside her backdoor was created to help provide a much needed boost to their food supply.
No Chickens for You
From Glendale, AZ., a posting on Phoenix’s permaculture message board revealed the following development in which a man cannot raise chickens nor can this resident possess food-bearing plants. Welcome to Agenda 21.
“I just got notice that I must get rid of my 3 chickens, chicken coop and garden and remove unripe fruit from my orange tree since my lot is not zoned for agriculture. Yes, I got notified that my garden and any food bearing plants are not allowed. My orange tree can stay as long as I remove all the unripe fruit from it. I must rip up my garden and my grapevines. I live near 63rd and Kings.
The lady at neighborhood services said none of the above are allowed. I asked about the garden and grapevines and she said food bearing plants attract pests and rodents and are not allowed in residential areas of Glendale. Orange trees are allowed as long as the fruit is not allowed to ripen. All unripe fruit has to be removed and disposed of. I was told I could join a community garden if I want to grow my own food. I think Glendale is starting to get desperate for making money. She said the fine if I do not comply will be over $2000 per violation with up to six months imprisonment and community service.”
My question to the City of Glendale is “What difference does it make?”
No Fresh Goats Milk for You!
Don’t ever let the authorities know that you feed your baby healthy homemade baby formula instead of the establishment’s cancer-causing, GMO laced commercial formula.
Alorah Gellerson of Brooklin, Maine is experiencing federal persecution because she was discovered feeding fresh goats milk to her three-month old son, Carson.
Gellerson complied with all government demands by no longer feeding her baby goats milk and substituting GMO laced milk. However, the authorities are still threatening to remove her son.
