Howdy All,
Below is a reply I posted to WeSurvive's post in the thread on poisons being put into our food and hygiene products. The time has never been so important in pushing ahead on our BSOSC Off-The-Food-Grid campaign. I posted on this subject months ago and have brought it up in a number of BSOSC meetings. If you agree on the urgent need of development efforts toward accomplishing this project, please post your thoughts, ideas and ways you want to participate to help make this happen for the benefit of yourself and all BSOSC members..jpf

Howdy WeSurvive,
Thanks a bunch for your excellent points in response to my post. I had put this up to further substantiate the need for our goal of getting off the food grid. We should make you the campaign manager for the Get-Off-The-Food-Grid campaign! (lol) The GE and GM foods combined with all the chemicals keeps the medical, pharmaceutical and funeral industries robust. With so many BSOSC members now putting in gardens, greenhouses, aquaponics, hydroponics systems, root cellars, doing canning, dehydrating, et al, we are getting closer to getting off the food grid than many may realize. With a number of us getting goats and cows for milking and making cheese, raising beef, goats, pigs, chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys for meat and eggs from chickens and ducks, we are making good progress. Several members are planting fruit trees and berries and some are looking into getting bee hives for honey. None of us can do every single one of these things, but among us, we can cover them all. Each producer can barter their excess for the excess of others that we will be able to have wholesome supply of every single aforementioned item. Hopefully, this will become a mission of the Task Force #4-Food & Health leaders and committee chairmen therein to coordinate an effort by all BSOSC members to be producers of some of the off-the-food-grid items we will all need. Our family will certainly do our part to try to produce some excess in the items we are doing for trade for the other items we can't do ourselves. Butchering the hog last year was a fun group activity as I'm sure butchering the cow this year will be. As you point out, we know those in power evidently do not care about our good health through good food or they would not be engaged in all the unscrupulous activities of chemicals, GM foods and unconstitutional legislation like the horrible US Senate bill, S510. It would seem that now is the time for a very concerted effort to make our goal of off-the-food-grid into a reality. I will also post this as its own post due to the critical importance of this project. I have not even addressed above, the other critical aspect of this project, that being the disruption of food supplies in the wake of a catastrophic event. In that scenario people would even be clamoring for those bad foods which would be in short or non-supply...jpf
