I’ve explored and written on food politics for years, using articles and direct links back to my sources to show evidence that the Big Agra-Big-Food-Big Pharma-Big Government complex is a pernicious corporatocracy with various satellites in place to conduct its dirty work of politicking, plundering, deceptive marketing, and purposefully miseducating the masses. I long ago declared [...]

As if bulimia isn’t enough of a (very real) problem in society, we are now witnessing the insanity that results from the absolute lack individual self-education and accountability, as taught by the government schools: an automated bulimia inducer. This CBS story headline is not an Onion story, I assure you – “New stomach pump would send food from stomach straight to [...]

Dr. Robert Lustig’s new book is out: “Fat Chance: Beating the Odds Against Sugar, Processed Food, Obesity, and Disease.” Here is a January 11, 2013 interview with the author on NPR that is well worth the half hour of listening. Dr. Lustig’s 90-minute talk on YouTube, “Sugar: The Bitter Truth,” is also an excellent informational video, which is [...]

Many people refer to the modern diet of convenience as the SAD (Standard American Diet). However, I always refer to the food system that produces the SAD as the Industrial Food Machine.

This ABC story from early in 2012 discusses the Ag-gag bills flying ’round the various state legislatures (MN, IL, NY, MS, etc.). Ag-gag bills are said to make whistle-blowing on factory farms almost impossible while criminalizing photography of the factory property and ways of conducting business. An article from the Huffington Post states that Ag-Gag bills “threaten our [...]

Not the current version of environmentalism mind you (EnviroCommunism), but real conservation such as that practiced by food freedomist farmers all over America, and the world, who utilize pasture-based, grass-fed, and rotational [...]

Ilana Mercer of WorldNetDaily interviews me on all things food politics:”Frankenfoods, the Fraudulent Food Pyramid and Other Folderol.”

Here’s Penn & Teller on the cognitive dissonance of the government’s HFCS subsidies to make food cheaper vs. the government’s crusade to tax HFCS-loaded beverages to make them more expensive. WARNING: the usual Penn & Teller profanity is involved.

A November headline in the Chicago Tribune: “Coca-Cola gives $3M to city for anti-obesity, diabetes efforts.” As long as the big food companies that spearhead the corporatocracy can keep buying politicians and bribe them to champion the conventional wisdom that holds up Big Agra-Big Food as a “health partner,” this country will continue to spiral [...]

So many creations of the Industrial Food Machine contain these hideous ingredients. I have been doing some farm subsidy research this week, and the numbers are not unexpected. Here are the corn subsidies in the US from 1995-2011 that total $82 billion. Here are the soybean subsidies from the same period that total $26 billion. [...]
