What do you think?

Crops have to be genetically engineered in order to be fit for mechanical harvesting; most are not naturally adept for such a thing.

This leads to monotyping; genetically identical crops that are all vulnerable to the same environmental stressors. Biological epidemics are the result.

People in developed hierarchical and centralized societies undergo a very similar phenomenon.

People are naturally curious and whimsical; they take all kinds of different paths through life. We do not naturally seek to be exploited, overworked, nor boxed into rigid and repetitive routines. And so people must be socialized to regard this as normal.

Does this lead to people who are more similar in mind and habit than is healthy for a society in the long term? A sort of sociological monotyping?

And does this lead to epidemics of the mind? "Mass psychosis" so to speak?

Yes.. and not due to the food we consume but due to the information/ news that we consume, as the perpetuators know how to modify our belief system by making us read certain things in a certain way. And we were trained to read labels and they know what to put there to make us buy certain products. And each start programming the other by their choice and it spreads as a disease becoming an epidemic.

I want to see veggie gardens in every yard.

We exchanged a little hard work for convenience and preservation poisons..

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout I would love to have a set of raised bed gardens to grow purple sweet potatoes, regular sweet potatoes, and other things…especially some that are not cheap or common in grocery stores. The purple sweet potatoes are solid purple and very high in an antioxidant, especially good for those with cancer. The deep raised beds that you have would be perfect for growing them, with loose soil and deep soil they would be really productive. I would also love to have a tall fence to grow cucumbers on, pickling type are really productive. I have grown them on the side of my covered deck (before it was made into a sunroom) and they did really well, didn’t take but a few feet to grow them along the edge and they grew up the strings I put up to the roof of the sunroom. Picked them every day for months. What I would grow would be non-hybridized and could save the seeds to get new seeds every year or with sweet potatoes just start them and plant the rooted shoots.

@cherokeepatti Yes, and you can buy heirloom seeds these days, because so many people now recognize the benefits of NOT effing with mother nature!

It may be killing off honeybees in some areas depending on what they are putting in the plant genes and especially if they are modifying them to accept herbicides. That’s a horrible thing to happen, it will affect our food supplies.
