CHAPTER 6

once drinking was an epidemic in america. today its obesity.  this is also due to the over production and use of corn. you can stuff things with more calories, and things that humans are programed by evolution to like, then you would ever find in nature. thus people take in more calories and in turn get fatter.  we also consume a ton of HFCS on top of all the sugars we eat, also adding to the fat problem.and since theres so much corn all the corn based fattening stuff is the cheapest stuff you'll find. all causing most Americans to be over weight. many also have type 2 diabetes which comer from overloading your body with glucose.


CHAPTER 7

fast food with its very distinctive taste, is full of corn. everything on McDonalds menu, even the salads, have corn (and not corn your seeing as corn, some genetically modified form of corn.) and its what most americans eat .

CHAPTER 8

theres that "stuck in the past" idea of a farm, but it really works. much better than the industrial farms today. it is a symbiotic relationship that benefits everything on the farm from the people to animals down the the grass. and there is no waist. and certainly no chemical waist. and everyone is happy and healthy. so why is this idea considered so farfetched?

CHAPTER 9

when you think of organic food theres this image of happy farms with happy animals. Organic usually gives the consumer the idea that their avoiding the industral food industry. thanks to the united stated government this is no longer true. A hippie organization trying to make organic food redily availible to everyone eventually was bought out by the big corperations and now what is said to be organicly farmed food is in reality a cleverly descised, behind nearly uncomprehensible words, factory. and in these "organic" factorys essentially the only difference between them and the conventional farms is no antibiotics in their corn food and the option(2 weeks before slaughter) to go outside into the fresh air sunlight and grass, which is never taken advantage of.

CHAPTER 10


in an industrial world that even now dominates organics there are few farms that operate with really organic standards of nature. one such farm is Pollyface farm run by farmer Joel Salatin where i spent a week getting to know the ways of truly organic farming. Joel would call himself a grass farmer because everything on his farm starts with the grass. its all by natures standards; grass and sunlight natural non chemical fertilizers and humane treatment of animals. the animals here are really happy because they get to live like they would in nature. the whole farm is an intricate ecosystem where everything relies on everything els and the balance is key. and because of the natural ways of this farm everything tastes like it should. the chicken tastes like chicken and the eggs are delicious. and naturally organic foods contain more of what their supposed to to keep is healthy.
