Over 100,000 people have facebook liked this website I never heard of. It talked General Foods to go non-GMO on Cheerios.
"Get big or get out" as agricultural policy and "food as a weapon" as the corollary has resulted in extremely unfortunate distribution of food. Job #1 is to correct those policies and the direct action is to start bring good food. It appears to cost more, but the nutritional value means you consume less. Go that way.
Now, under "get big or get out" a layer of pointless silly regulations, policies and practices (particularly in banking) were introduced over the years to destroy any chance of small farmers continuing in the business. We see the results.
Now, since big and small have to follow all of the regulations, big found it economical to computerize all of the compliance issues. Guess what? Now the cost of all that has dropped to the point where even small farmers can afford it.
Further, the systems are so tightly integrated that the exact field exact food came from can be tracked, which is turning out to be a problem for the GMO people, and a boon to the organic trade that needs traceability.
Deus ex machina. Labor is never a factor in international trade, management is what matters. In our political bid to weaponize food in USA, we also developed the ability to manage the best whole food production systems in the world.
Time to end the "get big or get out" and "food as a weapon" policies and go forward with the best management of good food production on earth.
Whole lotta opportunity would open up.
Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.

our federal govt has put in regulations that would destroy Farmers Markets because it would be too expensive for small producerss to comply ($5,000 or so) but States can fight back see:

make sure your state is doing the same - we the people need to send clear messages!
