OCCUPY WALL STREET

[SoNotHer]

To put it simply, there are proverbial genies pressure-popping out of bottle after bottle. Our food and medicine production has become like climate change - a runaway experiment that has vaulted the petri dish and headed for open ground. We are in terra incognito in more ways than we know.

There is no road map for where we are heading.

i think the scarier scenario is our meat supply. GMO products are fed to our meat and dairy supply while simultaneously being raised on regular antibiotics. we then eat that meat and in some cases some of that meat is not always cooked beyond recognition. so live bacteria can survive. interestingly, a study was recently done on levels of antibiotic resistant bacteria on grocery store meat and the numbers were astonishing. turkey ranked the highest, followed by pork, then beef and then chicken. and we eat that! it's so bad that they tell people now not to rinse poultry in your sink cuz the splash from the water droplets will spread that antibiotic resistant bacteria around your kitchen.
