It's not enough to eat locally grown organic food - at least it's not for me. My new plan to to help relocalize all food system before it's too late.

You can scoff at the idea that food systems are collapsing, just like many scoffed at the idea that Wall St. could collapse. Well it did and we're bailing them out and will be for decades.

But when the food system collapses - it actually is right now, we're just not making the connection - there will be no bailout. All the money on the planet cannot replenish the soil and kill of pathogens the way that healthy, naturally occurring soil does day in and day out.

Without a bailout there will be mass starvation and death unless you believe that crackers can save us (and then you're nuts). We need to put alternative food systems in place now. They don't have to replace the bloated industrial agriculture farms; they cannot be replaced because they do not have a future, because they do not replenish the soil.

What needs to happen is for lawns to be replaced wholesale with veggies and native vegetation. We have cows here in Lakewood - why can't we have free roaming buffalo? I know, that sounds crazy but haven't you ever had fresh buffalo?

Here's another person sounding the alarm. Will anyone listen and respond? I will. I'll detail those actions as they occur.

The large agro-businesses have largely wiped out small farmers. They have poisoned our soil with pesticides and contaminated animals in filthy and overcrowded stockyards with high doses of antibiotics and steroids. They have pumped nutrients and phosphorus into water systems, causing algae bloom and fish die-off in our rivers and streams. Crop yields, under the onslaught of changing weather patterns and chemical pollution, are declining in the Northeast, where a blight has nearly wiped out the tomato crop. The draconian Food Modernization Safety Act, another gift from our governing elite to corporations, means small farms will only continue to dwindle in number.
