MetroFarm... The Online Magazine of Metropolitan Agriculture

Growing for Big Profit on a Small Parcel of Land. According to a recent Census of Agriculture, the most productive farmland in the United States is in the Borough of the Bronx! The second most productive farmland is in the City of San Francisco! You can earn up to eight times the average personal income on as little as one acre of land. You can be male or female, old or young, married or single. You can lease, own, or rent. You can succeed with small fruits on prairie beach lands, house plants in costal valleys, flowers on steep wooded hillsides, vegetables in city greenbelts and ornamentals in neighborhoods of million dollar homes.

FOOD CHAIN TOTALITARIANS
He said, “Never let a serious crisis go to waste!” and so they are using tainted hamburger, peanut butter and spinach to take total control of the nation’s food chain. Their legislation leads us to ask… What will the Food Safety Totalitarians allow us to eat? (#669 in The Forums)

FOOD SAFETY TOTALITARIANS

(Food Chain Radio #669)

Never let a serious crisis go to waste! Rahm Emanuel

There is a lot of tactical cunning in Mr. Emanuels command. Consider, by way of example, some good old-fashioned food poisoning.
What will happen if your neighbor eats a sandwich containing badly tainted mayonnaise, gets sick and dies? Nothing! An accident is just an accident, and thats that.

But what will happen if a couple hundred people get sick eating tainted hamburger, spinach or peanut butter, and several die? The news will pick up the story and get it rolling until it becomes a full-scale food safety crisis.

How do you not let a full-scale food safety crisis go to waste?

You introduce legislation to put the government in total control of the nations food chain, and thus in total control of everyones life. Its the ultimate win. You become the Food Safety Totalitarian, and people may only eat what you allow them to eat.

This taking advantage of some tainted industrial foods leads us to ask:
