Food supply is controlled by the drilling and sale of fossil fuels. If there are no diesel trucks restocking your local grocery store then you will probably go hungry!!! We completely depend on the fragile line of this insane economy we've gotten ourselves into!!! Vertical farming provides food at an incredibly fast rate and has no pollution! No need to transport food thousand of miles! Grow out of season year round! No need for pesticides, insecticides, herbicides! The climate is changing and has already affected crop production these past years!! Every great civilization has collapsed due to food scarcity!! Will create thousands and thousands of jobs!!
DEMAND VERTICAL FARMS TO BE BUILT IN YOUR TOWN!!!!
Corn makes me sick. And there's no getting around it. They can't just leave it off the label and think that my body won't know. I try very hard not to be sick every day (it would be chronic given how much corn is in everything). There's a commercial cornsugar.com or something that says that your body can't tell...total BS...my body knows and violently objects. I've even found it in Vitamin C. not on the label, but i got sick, chased it to the manufacturer (it had a trader joes label) and it was corn. But, i can't have it. It makes me sick EVERY time. I shouldn't have to get sick to find out what's in my food. (could be from citizens united also...that they don't have to label things)
Ever since i began eating natural foods I've noticed huge effects on my life. I have more energy thoughout the day and I have lost substantial weight without working out..organic produce just has that amazing tast. A lot of Americans are set on this mentality on quantity over quality when it comes to food. When good for you food taste good and you savor the taste your body benefits from it much more. Simple trick that has changed my entire life. Physically and mentally i feel sharper and more alert. It's just an all around great feeling.
it doesn't take much food. it take higher quality food than what we get. they wreck a lot of good food with corn and corn derivatives.
