Is Our Food Supply Endangered?

This movie of Dr. Mercola's recent newsletter  should be shown in every school to every child to make them aware that our food supply is not guaranteed when we continue to exploit the earth in the wrong way.

It has to be shown to the children and teenagers because they most likely don't know what happened. Most adults have forgotten the past and live in the belief there will always be enough food and they live also in the La-La land of Me-Me consumption. Coming from Europe I also did not know that it was this bad.

What is shown in this movie can happen again ... any time. We are very vulnerable with the raising of  monocultures of corn and soy — much of which are genetically engineered . They are rapidly overtaking native grasslands. Everyone notices the changes of the weather.

The return to smaller-scale agriculture, complete with grazing herds, may be necessary for creating a more sustainable food system. Following Savory’s strategy, large herds could be moved across areas in planned grazing patterns, which would be beneficial for the environment, the health of the animals, and subsequently the health of humans consuming those animals.

Everyone should start a garden and plant fruit trees in case this is happening again. We have to be prepared. Remember, a lot of our food comes from the USA and the prairies.

Here in Nanaimo very few are gardening. The soil on Vancouver Island is in most area very poor and has to be build up over years. What we can buy in the garden stores is not 'REAL' soil - it is a mixture from peat moss, organic materials (paper is also organic), a bit steer manure and other components. The vegetables will not have the sme quality as they have on natural good soil.

The food supply in the Super Markets will last only for 3 days.
