I am starting this article with information that will make you aware of the provenance for around 90% of all foods that you purchase while shopping at leading super and hypermarkets chains. This raises the important topic of decorporatisation of food.
The reality of what your food choices mean – on the ground – may never have occurred to you. But the reality is that by making supermarket chain stores your first choice for food purchases you have unwittingly become complicit in the creation of vast desert like tracts of land heavily sprayed with toxic agrichemicals.
The soils on these superstore supplying farms have been rendered devoid of life. The crops grow only because of heavy applications of synthetic nitrogen salts.
No worms, no insects, no life. No enriching soil borne microorganisms or microflora. They have been wiped-out by the products of Big Pharma and the weapons of the agrichemical corporation war chest.
The farmers using them have been made to believe that they are being ‘progressive’ and ‘efficient’ by adopting this government and corporate led intensive chemical regime, designed to replace time honored benign traditional farming methods.
Exactly the same tragic story prevails in the livestock sector. Unless you are stipulating organic, your pork and poultry purchases originate in animal concentration camps. Vast sunless sheds in which antibiotics and other drugs are prescribed prophylactically to keep their recipients alive for the three to five months which is the maximum duration of their tragically short existences.
No doubt you will also not realize that by shopping in the predatory supermarkets you have become a causative agent in the death of the small and medium sized family farms that still have respect for crop rotations, the use of natural farm animal manures and humane outdoor livestock rearing.
