Barbara Peterson - Hour 1 - Farmwars: The Anti-GMO Battle
February 17, 2014
Barbara Peterson is behind the website Farmwars. She lives on a small ranch in Oregon where she raises geese, chickens, goats and horses, yet this rural lifestyle is currently under attack at the most basic level. Federal regulations, Agenda 21 and the corporate takeover of the US food supply with Monsanto’s invasive GMO technology is designed to make it next to impossible to raise animals and grow organic food. In this program we have a somewhat laid back discussion about genetically modified foods, how to grow your own food and raising animals. Barbara also shares some recipes. . . .

The USDA’s Organic Deception
. . . In the USDA Certified Organic Program, there are four categories established for labeling purposes . . .
. . . If an item is labeled 100% Organic, then it is supposed to contain nothing but organic ingredients and processing aids that are organically produced.
Products labeled Certified Organic must contain 95% organic ingredients. . . .
70-95% Organic, labeled “Made with Organic Ingredients,” can contain the kitchen sink in the 5-30% of ingredients that are not organic. They can be grown with pesticides, but without the sewage sludge, and cannot be irradiated or genetically modified organisms (GMO).
70% Organic, which is labeled “Contains Organic Ingredients,” can contain the kitchen sink along with the pesticides, sewage sludge, irradiation, and GMOs. . . .

Federal, State, County and City regulations are whats strangling the US. But that's what the people wanted to keep the big corporations in check.

History, HACCP, and the Food Safety Con Job.
The Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) system is a preventative approach to food borne hazards. It is based on the application of scientific pinciples to food processing and production. The University of Nebraska has provided educational programs and assistance to food processing and food production professionals since 1993.
Our audiences include meat and poultry processors, food processors and food service operators. We provide introductory HACCP workshops that are accredited by the International HACCP Alliance: Food Service HACCP workshops; Advanced HACCP workshops for auditing, verification, validation, and recalls; Sanitation and Good Manufacturing Practices workshops; individual assistance for HACCP implementation and management; and videos and written materials for instruction. Workshop information and some HACCP materials are provided here.

She was spot on in regard to applying scientific process to non-scientific production practice. The detriment to agricultural processing is costly, and verging on unmanageable. I live it.

I enjoy her writings and humor.

Don't you think that is only the official story - the pretext - that this is what the people wanted?
The reason that genetically modified organisms appeal to conspirators and alarmist is simply because is because the label "genetically modified" is an effective buzz phrase all conspirators need to get attention.
one more thing; went to the grocery store. cabbage was 57 cents/pound; organic cabbage was $2.59/lb. roughly five times more expensive. how many of us can, or are willing, to pay 4-5 times as much on food as we do now?

The Department of Agriculture will supply anyone with all the data you need to learn about the process.
All governments are largely bought and paid for by vested interests.
