&lt;p&gt;We are the solution, we spend the money. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Every time you purchase a product produced by a corporation consider the &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;consequences.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We the Cellular Matrix Study believes that our current health predicament can be&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;traced to the day chemical fertilizers became the law of the land, 1954. This was&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;the most expensive &amp;quot;bail out&amp;quot; being that it has cost our health. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; Linus Pauling often stated that if we look carefully we will find a mineral deficiency &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;asthe cause of our modern diseases, and we believe we have proven that most &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;of us are sulfur deficient, and most of our soil is destroyed, microbes are &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;people too.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;EVIL Monsanto? &amp;nbsp;Really and have you purchased any thing made with the &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;products of this evil corporation? &amp;nbsp;And how evil are you?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bottom line is we are what we eat, and what we eat is a result of what we feed&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;it. &amp;nbsp;The cycles of life are all we have on this third rock from the sun.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nothing new under the sun.&lt;/p&gt;

I just went for the first time last weekend to my local farmer&amp;#39;s market, so good timing with this article. It IS fun with all the people there, and talking and discussions and local farmers. Plus I got some fascinating (to me) vegetables I&amp;#39;ve never gotten before: purple carrots, black radishes, watermelon beets (white and pinkish inside), golden beets, and lots of other great stuff. I really like juicing different vegetables everyday and man, the bunch of different, organic stuff there is MUCH better than the supermarket stuff. And the purple carrots are cool because judging by the taste, they seem to have less sugar than orange ones - and boy do they turn the vegetable juice deep purple! Now if I could only get ahold of the famous BLACK carrot from the middle east! &lt;/p&gt;

Now everything relies on the use of chemicals to grow food. They leech the land of nutrients and produce foods that look like food, but lack the nutrients they are supposed to have and are really nothing more than empty shells. They do not nurture the land like they should. I read an article in Mother Earth News years ago about a couple who faced decreasing yields on their farm and decided to adopt the &amp;quot;old fashioned&amp;quot; principle of nurturing the land. They used compost and manure to enrich the soil and used other techniques and every year after that their yields got better as the soil got better. They also didn&amp;#39;t have to rely on insecticides or chemical fertilizers as the land was able to take care of itself, just like it was a living organism. Unfortunately, with the demand for food being as high as it is and getting ever higher, speed of production and higher yields for lower costs are necessary as the old fashioned ways can&amp;#39;t keep up with the demand quickly enough or at a low enough price. &lt;/p&gt;

With job losses forcing people into state assistance programs, we have to ask why the states punish both citizens AND sustainable farmers. &amp;nbsp;Who is behind this?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With basic health no longer being taught in our schools, and nothing about nutrition, future generations are in trouble. &amp;nbsp;We subsidise the factory farms, or the gentlemen farmers, and ignore more nutriionally dense foods in favor of just grains, and things like carrots, cabbage, greens, etc. are not taken seriously, to support what we can export, or feed to cattle. &amp;nbsp;Huge feed lots are established to feed cattle, as well a giant enclosures for chickens and hogs. &amp;nbsp;So we are feeding America food that is less than wholesome. &amp;nbsp;Then there is MONSANTO, the EVIL EMPIRE, which poses a threat to the world with it&amp;#39;s GM foods, yet our government looks the other way. &amp;nbsp;Not only does our government look the other way but tries to tell us this &amp;quot;genetically modified&amp;quot; food is good. &amp;nbsp;A nightmare in the making. &amp;nbsp;You think?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This lecture is a must for even the home gardner, as well as the organic farmer, to get a true idea about what it takes to have a truly healthy farm, producing truly healthy food. &amp;nbsp;But now we have people in charge who have no idea what we are eating, have no idea how to raise good healthy foods for public consumption. &amp;nbsp;Not enough knowledgeable farmers, no big, there is always BIG PHARMA, and they have many crutches.&lt;/p&gt;
